    I have two MegaBoom 2’s—one is a complete champ, the other has very short battery life at this point.

    They both work for my needs—the short battery one is in my bathroom and I leave it plugged in now.

    The other one just floats around the house and gets a decent amount of use from my kids, who may or may not be slightly older than the speakers themselves.

    The fact that they both work and only one has noticeably degraded battery life is surprising.

    MAYBE you could make an argument if my Mac screen was in vertical portrait layout all the time, you could begin to argue in favor of the thought process behind the current design.

    But without that, with a landscape-oriented Mac display, the argument just isn’t there, so the thought process doesn’t make sense.

    This is all before you even brain storm actual UI design ideas—the base-argument is invalid.

    NBC has a show called “The Nightly News”, and from 2017-2021 the writing was completely insane and the main characters were basically cartoonish villains, but it was hard not to watch. There were tons of other viewers and an ungodly number of fan sites online to discuss the various sub-plots and characters.

    By early 2020, one of the 2019 sub-plots went completely viral and millions of people didn’t even leave their houses.

    In late 2020, one of the main characters was voted off the show and it became a whole “thing”. The writers, ultimately, didn’t really remove the character—just minimized him to a series of courtroom B-stories, and the occasional fan-service appearance.

    The show is still on, but I think it must have different show runners these days.

    Move your photo library from ~/Pictures to an external storage volume with enough storage space. Then, either turn off iCloud Photo Library and allow the process to download all you photos or just export like you were doing to the external.

    Why do you want to back them up? The iCloud sync is pretty good, unless you are worried about deleting photos yourself by accident and not noticing during the 30-day window that they would still be in the “recently deleted” directory.
