A lot of people working from home right now.
So you need a better webcam to work from home. The narcissism is real, isn't it?
Narcissism? People conduct meetings over webcams a lot. It’s not narcissistic to want to have a better quality webcam, more like the ones in iPhones and iPads (yes I know that’s a long ways off)
Yes it is. If you care that much about how you look to your coworkers, that's textbook narcissism. This isn't 1999, it's 2021, even some of the worst webcams on the market are still HD.
All I know is the photo is blurry. And in Rumorland, blurry = real. Only thing missing is the elevator.
Jokes aside, I'm now more inclined to believe we are seeing a notch in our new MBPs - which I am likely ok with. An if we do, you already know the uproar that will follow. Only to see them outsell any MBP to date.
Personally, I liked the Touch Bar.

In VirtualDJ, it’s a game changer. In other words, dozens will miss it.

I was all set to buy a 14” MacBook Pro now I’m hoping they update the mini on Monday. A notch works fine on my iPhone as the time and battery/Wi-Fi symbols go either side of the notch. But if I’m using Visual studio etc will the top menu bar all fit? Has someone mocked up what this will look like I. Real world use?
Also, interesting that apple patented the notch for iMac and MacBook in 2018. I think it’s happening and I just don’t know how it benefits me, I’m not bothered about 10mm bezels. 😔

Most people I know don't even bother to turn the video on during meetings. No need to see me in my "Meatwad Rulz" teeshirt.
The picture doesn't show a notch. It simply shows the webcam module embedded in the screen housing.
Every modern MacBook has it.

If you want a better camera to take pictures, including pictures of you, is it narcissism?
Why on Earth would you want webcams to be stalled at such a bad quality ? The webcam technology in 2021 feels like it's stuck in 2000.
Yes it is. The folks who are in it for the selfish-ies are the absolute worst.
i really hope that this is a fake leak that was just used to flush out a leaker
"If you care that much about how you look to your coworkers, that's textbook narcissism."
Mmmmmmmhmmmm.
"Most people I know don't even bother to turn the video on during meetings. No need to see me in my "Meatwad Rulz" teeshirt."
Going to go out on a crazy limb and say that *maybe* everyone's corporate culture isn't the same.
"Exactly. And I've worked from home exclusively for over 5 years. Narcissists never admit that their narcissists."
This kind of dumb, ham-fisted amateur sleuth pathologizing is its own illness. The idea that you openly brand people narcissists because they want their webcam to work well? Seek help.

we demand everyone to turn on their cameras now because the teams from the UK and India always love to do other things on the side, not paying attention and then are like „oh sorry, I was on „mute“ or „yes, no problem“ without actually knowing what had been discussed. The worst is the throw away line „sure. I will get back to you“ (they won’t)
ANYWAY, we are taking about camera improvements here. It’s not that serious
Lol. A webcam makes it easier for other to see non-verbal communication at the expense of decreased visual appearance. That’s the opposite of narcissism.
Could it be because you've attacked people as being "narcissists"?
No 120Hz - 3.5k OLED on both XPS 13 and 15.
Honestly, depending on pricing, I may just get it over the MacBook Pro 16 if it has a notch. I don't believe this "leak" is real though, I hope not.
Unless they black out the notch strip in normal programs (then what's the point of the notch), it's going to be very annoying when I edit photos in full screen.
However you have to rationalize this, in your mind. If your webcam is bad enough that you can't see non-verbal communication, you probably should've upgraded about 9 years ago.
