Key Points:

Apple opposed a right-to-repair bill in Oregon, despite previously supporting a weaker one in California.
The key difference is Oregon's restriction on "parts pairing," which locks repairs to Apple or authorized shops.
Apple argues this protects security and privacy, but critics say it creates a repair monopoly and e-waste.
Apple claims their system eases repair and maintain data security, while Google doesn't have such a requirement
Apple refused suggestions to revise the bill
Cybersecurity experts argue parts pairing is unnecessary for security and hinders sustainable repair.

Dual externals probably has the potential to run like shit with heavy cpu loads.

I have a 10 year old laptop that will run 4 monitors simultaneously without breaking a sweat. Absolutely no chance the fuckin' Apple silicon can't run 2.
