I think the old 4 port usb-c macbook pros were similar, two usb-c ports were better for charging and supported thunderbolt, while the other two were non-thunderbolt and not optimized for charging. No visual markings.

It's interesting because the new studio display has 4 usb-c ports and 2 support thunderbolt, but they do indicate which ports are thunderbolt above the port.

Maybe I’m viewing truth too narrowly, but I feel like the printing press brought us as close as we could come to a “truth era”. Authorship of text, and the friction and cost involved with publishing seems to bend towards transmitting truth. I guess how are you evaluating or measuring truth?

I believe it’s to integrate with iMessage, Calendar, Reminders etc.

I was just looking into this today. I want to keep my computer updated with the cli tool softwareupdate. Before I was using the flag --all to apply any update, but then tried to change it to --recommended as I wanted to avoid any major macOS upgrades (ie Tahoe). But Tahoe is listed as a recommended upgrade.

Now I call it with --required which only applies critical and security updates. Then I call it again with --safari-only, and one more time with --list to see what remaining updates are available. Frustrating (but sadly not surprising) there isn't a way to apply all available updates excluding major OS updates.

FWIW I have a note in my dot files that for this to take effect you need to logout and then log back in, not sure if this is (still?) the case.

I remember reading this years ago and hoped a retro programmer would create a rom patch to implement this functionality. Maybe someday.

I don’t see it; to my mind the last great Apple thin product was the 12” MacBook from 2015.

In ear monitor, I believe. The "headphones" that some musicians use on stage to hear themselves. I have heard that you can get them custom made to fit your own ears for a perfect fit.
