WTF is the home hub? I did not know they made such a thing.

I remember the 20th Anniversary Mac. Almost bought one, at some point. Kicking myself for not going through with it, whenever I think about it.

The TAM was a) too expensive and b) too limited for me to ever consider.
The Cube on the other hand... Got discontinued right before I had saved up enough. Yes, the Quicksilver was a superior machine but damn... the Cube was art.

I believe that’s just a rumor. The image I posted does say “coming in 2026”. I suppose the next event is WWDC, usually that’s around June I believe. They should also announce desktop Macs there.

Macrumors had a nice article on it last week:

As someone who was recently contemplating throwing an iPad on the wall to do these things; it's certainly a product I'm interested in (especially now that my TRMNL is a bit sketch due to the right wing owner).
