Omg it's 33 lbs! Hahah
It weighs 23.8 lbs not 33, check your facts.
I had to dig for that in their documentation- direct download as it's not listed anywhere that I could find in the link or the product page.
Fuck off @DustinB3403.
I was going by what Amazon said, but who gives a shit.

@mlnews man I want one of those!
Oh, but 25,000 hour lamp life! And lots of lumens! That alone is worth the replacement costs of the bulbs of regular projectors.
Yeah, that's laser based. So no traditional bulb, makes "super bright" easy, along with the super short throw.

Probably product weight vs. shipping weight. Chances are a nearly 24lbs laser device is going to include a lot of hefty packaging.

50 years ago today, the Internet was born. Sort of
The precursor to the Internet carried its first login request on October 29, 1969.
On October 29, 1969, at 10:30pm Pacific Time, the first two letters were transmitted over ARPANET. And then it crashed. About an hour later, after some debugging, the first actual remote connection between two computers was established over what would someday evolve into the modern Internet. Funded by the Advanced Research Projects Agency (the predecessor of DARPA), ARPANET was built to explore technologies related to building a military command-and-control network that could survive a nuclear attack. But as Charles Herzfeld, the ARPA director who would oversee most of the initial work to build ARPANET put it: The ARPANET was not started to create a Command and Control System that would survive a nuclear attack, as many now claim. To build such a system was, clearly, a major military need, but it was not ARPA's mission to do this; in fact, we would have been severely criticized had we tried. Rather, the ARPANET came out of our frustration that there were only a limited number of large, powerful research computers in the country, and that many research investigators, who should have access to them, were geographically separated from them. -
Apple releases macOS Catalina 10.15.1 and watchOS 6.1
Both follow closely after iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS updates yesterday.
Apple yesterday released software updates for macOS and watchOS—10.15.1 and 6.1, respectively. Apple's habit of late has been to release most of its operating system updates for each platform all on the same day. But in this instance, though, macOS and watchOS came a single day after iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS updates.The macOS update mainly adds features we already saw yesterday in iOS and iPadOS 13.2. That includes support for AirPods Pro, the ability to opt in or out of sharing Siri recordings with Apple, new emoji, and new HomeKit feature support. There are also a number of macOS-specific bug fixes and the restoration of some lost Photos features. -

I wonder what's the size of avg 108MP image, it's probably near 100MB. TB+ storage in phone would be in order too.

Up to 40MB per image.
But 108 megapixel is just a big number for marketing. Most people don't know the difference between pixel count and image resolution.
Simplified, image resolution is how much detail is visible. And that is really what you are after, but not what you are going to get. You'll simply get a lot of pixels without much detail.
