Maybe like this legendary failure: GIANT BUG... causing /usr to be deleted... so sorry.... issue #123, i… · MrMEEE/bumblebee-Old-and-abbandoned@a047be8 · GitHub (Valve also did the same in their Steam uninstaller once.)

Anyone getting the new 16" MBP?
Could this be the Mac I’ve been waiting years for 
definitely getting a new computer before Brexit, when I’m sure we’ll get hit by a very poor exchange rate!!

Awesome specs!!!
When does it arrive? 
Will you be using it with an external monitor? I have a 5K LG monitor from a couple of years ago (bought when they put them on sale) which hasn’t been used so that’s what I’d use when at my desk

I agree! I’m giddy with anticipation.
It should be here by the 27th.
I have a LG 38UC99-W 38-Inch at home with a OWC thunderbolt dock. One cable hookup. It’s awesome. I’d love a 5k display but can’t justify the costs right now.
At work (I work at home 4 days a week) I use a Dell ultrawide without a dock. I have all the dongle I need there. Not as tidy, but works.

That monitor looks nice and I agree about the one cable hookup it’s SO convenient!!
Not sure I would need 2tb myself, I use a mba as my main machine with 250gb of ram tho it is almost full now.
I had a 15” a couple of years ago for a few months and liked it but loved the portability of my tiny mba too much - and to justify losing that I would have preferred a slightly bigger screen. Apart from that I liked it (even the keyboard).
Which Mac are you replacing it with?

This is replacing my 2016 15" MBP. It’s been a great machine but I can only do so much with 16GB of RAM. I have a pretty big workflow with Windows VMs and all the Elixir projects, Docker, etc.
Not to mention photo editing, and just messing around in general.
I’ve been waiting for 32GB machines to drop and they went ahead and gave me 64GB!
I’ll never go back to Windows or Linux. The OSX workflow is pretty polished for me.

Also, I’m thinking of grabbing a new big iPad to use with Sidecar for photo editing. I have an older 9.7" but it’s too small to be of much use for that. Sidecar is pretty slick

Yeah RAM is always worth upgrading - 32GB is quickly going to feel lacking imo!
I generally feel the same - though I’ve never tried Linux and it was interesting learning that Saša went back to it after being a Mac user for a while. I will be interested in hearing how he feels at the 6 and 12 month mark 
But I agree, there’s so much that I like about the Apple ecosystem, even simple things like telephone call alerts on my Mac, text messages on my Mac (including auto-filling in forms when an app sends you auth codes by text, like what Namecheap does).
iPad Pro you mean? That would be pretty cool I’ve actually not seen it in action myself!

Yes. The iPad pro. It’s pretty awesome. For now, my 9.7" serves as my slack/iterm display.
