Tech is in a bit of a state right now. Apple Silicon's a bright spot, but Intel seems to have lost their way.

Looking forward to seeing what the M1X brings to the tech party, hopefully soon.
Seems to me both game consoles and TVs have sort of hit a spot where improvements are marginal. VR just isn't happening yet. 8K will be very hard for most consumer setups to notice.
