They recently released some updates recently that made my very archaic 16" 2019 MBP with Intel/AMD much more reliable.

If it needs it, I would recommend giving this place a shot. Followed them a while and think it would be worth a spin! They do liquid damage repair on MacBooks.

With the additional context, to me, the quote reads pretty clearly as "this is what the person is saying about themselves" not "this is Kirk's perspective on a group of people".

That quote is a combination of two sentences Charlie Kirk said consecutively. Here is the full context of the statement:

When and Where: The remarks were made on the July 13, 2023, episode of "The Charlie Kirk Show".

Topic of Discussion: The segment was about affirmative action policies.

Context: Kirk was arguing that prominent Black women were beneficiaries of affirmative action. He played a clip of then-U.S. Representative Sheila Jackson Lee speaking in Congress, in which she said she had been admitted to educational institutions because of affirmative action. Kirk used her statement as a premise to discuss her and three other prominent Black women: television host Joy Reid, former first lady Michelle Obama, and Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.

He then made the following statement, which includes the words from your query:

"If we would have said that Joy Reid and Michelle Obama and Sheila Jackson Lee and Ketanji Brown Jackson were affirmative action picks, we would have been called racists. Now they're coming out and they're saying it for us … You do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously. You had to go steal a white person's slot to go be taken somewhat seriously". Β  

He continued by saying their admission of benefiting from affirmative action was an admission that they were not smart enough to achieve their positions on their own merits.

I wouldn't say A is necessarily accurate.

She shared what could be considered a reasonable interpretation, but presented it as a direct quote which is disingenuous, boarding on misinformation.

Make sure to enable these items in settings for a more seamless experience. Also, if you do use Night Shift, the experience isn't great, but I don't anymore, so it's not an issue anymore.

No, just plugin. I did buy a thunderbolt kvm to switch between computers with the push of a button so there is even some added complexity (link amzn.com/dp/B0C74SWVD5)
I do have issues with the hdmi monitor on my 2019 Intel 16" MBP. No issues at all with the Dell, Lenovo, M1 MBA, M3 Pro MBP.

Should have listened a bit more. I care a lot about how things look. The display link isn't perfect, but I barely notice.

If you like the idea of multiple monitors, definitely give it a try. You can always return it.

@paris.nyc most docks with DisplayLink technology should work for dual monitors. I run triple 1440p monitors from my base model M1 MacBook Air with the Dell D6000 dock. It does require extra drivers to be downloaded and installed from display link and can only do 60Hz. amzn.com/dp/B071YTQBXM

Liquid glass is bad and should feel bad.

Any element of UI that can be glass should just be removed.

@shahine.com If I wanted to use Word to write or export a markdown document, what is the best way to do that? Is there someone to talk to at Microsoft about this workflow?

Bluesky, please raise your character count to at least that of Mastodon.

And please add an Edit button.

I love everything else about you, but those two are stopping me dead in my tracks.
