Looking forward to a comment that is much more grounded than substantial than this.
I don't see the point of being so fixated on that.
Lots and lots of people use 15.6" laptop with 1080p screen and are perfectly happy.
Every time I see people talk like this, I have to wonder who it is for.
Did you ever given any thought about how confusing the title may be?
Did AI write this title and you just use it without ever wondering if it makes sense at all?
Says something about the political climate of where I live.
In the case of iPhone Air and Galaxy Edge phones, there were notable compromises to achieve a thinner body, for which many people don't consider an improvement.
Granted, I have not seen or used the new iPad mini, and I don't know if any such compromise has been made. But probably should leave it open until we conclude this is a plus.
If Meta keeps those positions at all.
Never once did I hold my iPad mini with a case and think, "damn this thing is heavy"
I really wanted to tell her -- what she needed was compute, not hardware. Her best bet was to rent GPU which is easily available from many services. If she was paid to run inference, cost is not a concern. If she did it for her own work, she wouldn't need to shell out a ton of money initially and then be left with hardware that she no longer needs when the work is done. In any case, she wouldn't need to worry about purchasing hardware or battery life. ssh to a remote machine is simply way superior than running inference on a laptop she carries around by any means except in a few rare occasions (e.g. no Internet access).
Same thing for a company. Why would any company who has a business to run get themselves burned in acquiring GPUs, setting up racks, load balancing etc when Bedrock/Azure Foundry etc is right there with tons of both open and closed models and ZDR? And then see hardware depreciate in just a few years?
My take, without directly addressing your questions: "have fun" doesn't go very far, and you'll discover that if you want to be good at anything, you'll need to put in many hours of practice with endless repetition and go through setbacks and self doubt, none of which is fun. And for sure there are singers and musicians that never go through formal training, including at the highest levels, they are few, when most musicians you know have been learning music since they were kids.
As an amateur musician who can afford private lessons, I cannot understate how important a teacher is in music learning. You can try to learn things on your own and mess with these stuff, but a teacher goes a long way. They spot your mistakes instantly and help you progress efficiently.
I understand that it is not financially viable to everyone, but seriously, if you are able to, get some professional guidance.

Won't be the last time this happens. If there is no consequence of breaking the rules, people will keep doing that.
I can vibe code my own CMS with one major version update everyday but that means nothing.
You need a quick reality check.
Never heard the name again after the initial hype.
I don't like this but also don't see how this can be different in the real world.
Many names come to mind but I am too scared to post that list.
Tons of people avoid buying certain consumer products because there is a camera/mic in it, even if it's not always on/can be turned off etc.
The fact password scanning is out of its scope and the potential that it can do harm are enough to drive people away.
Most of people here probably would say the same.
So it should be clear if you look back at this.
Who says so?
If it's not in legal text, it doesn't exist, or matters.
If you don't want to support it, make it clear in license or README. Lots of projects work like that. Companies put "source available" or "open source but no external contribution" projects on GitHub and make it very clear what's the expectation. Nobody has any issue about that.
Somehow this guy thinks he is special.
If someone doesn't understand how licenses work, they should keep their work close sourced.
Seeing this, I don't think I'm going to touch it. Alexa might be more respectful of user data.
