My friend just hired a night nanny for 60k plus benefits a year.

But you could use something like a push lawn mower's grip together to engage the motor design, and push hard on that safety feature to make people aware of what needs to be bypassed to make it more dangerous.

Where can you find a nanny for only $15/hr?

Does this thing jump over uneven sidwalks automatically? There are so many obstacles you need to maneuver strollers over that I doubt this can handle it without issue.

I generally prefer matte too, but the antiglare coating on Apple displays is worlds better than what most laptops and glossy monitors use. Seems like damn near every other laptop with a glossy screen has little to no coating making them practically mirrors, even if the display itself is great (400+ nit IPS/OLED). I get the appeal of gloss but would it kill these manufacturers to spare a few cents on decent AG coating?

It’s an aside, but why does landing at a Moroccan airport sound different?

The density difference is still visible, just not as visible, plus as noted in other comments 4K 27”-32” screens require fractional UI scaling which is problematic under some circumstances. 5k 27” or 6k 32” can run usably with integer scaling, e.g 2x instead of 1.5x.

I know apple is petty but they aren't that petty.

But I work in IT for the last 30 years, you know someone would hack it and make it drive away on purpose.

im not a parent.. but I'd be WAY more stressed worrying about if my kids self driving stroller is going to drive it out into traffic or down a set of stairs. I'd think the least stressful stroller scenario is the one where you're in 100% control

That I can deal with, it certainly would help especially with twins.

The price of strollers in general is what gives me stress. A good stroller car seat combo is an entire paycheck.

Man I have a 17” MSI and that bastard stays on my desk at home with an HDMI cord permanently attached.
It’s hotter than the surface of the sun, sounds like a poorly-maintained 737 landing at a Moroccan airport, and it’ll get you about an hour and twenty minutes of battery life if you try to do anything but look at spreadsheets on it.
I like everything about it but I wish I had gotten the 15” version.

Pushing a wheelchair too. People just think they can walk right in front of you. Those things are so heavy you can’t always stop on a dime then you get nasty looks when you bump their ankles 🤷♀️

That's true. Although it's pretty bulky, the specs where pretty awesome for a "portable" laptop.

I guess, as I said tastes differ, everything has its place somewhere.
