Sure, but that doesn’t give you an actual payload number. The only ways I’ve seen to get an actual number is the door sticker or the manufacturer tow calculator. You can get the VIN off of a dealer page and enter it like https://www.ford.com/support/towing-calculator with VIN 1FTFW5LD5SFB04598 and check out the 1340 lbs payload on that F150.
Not even close to true. We have a small car (integra) and a giant truck (F250). We use the F250 to tow boats and a camper. Most people look at the tow limit and don’t realize the limiting factor is the payload. We had to trade in our F150 for the F250 because the F150 only had 1500 lbs payload. The camper (6000lbs dry, 7500 lbs max) had a dry tongue weight of 850 lbs and a loaded payload closer to 1000 lbs. Leaving about 500 lbs for people, dogs, and cargo. Doesn’t work. F250 has 3300 lbs payload. Find me a van with 3300 payload and no, don’t look in the manual. Those are all the theoretical max payload. Look at the door sticker. F150 manual says something like 2200 lbs, but door sticker says 1500 lbs. And yes, the F250 is no fun to drive in a city or take shopping. Thats what the Integra is for.
This seems like a very urban viewpoint. There are still places in the world and in the US in particular where a firearm is tool for safety that has nothing to do with other humans.
Look - the reality is it’s not going to be clear cut. How much faster it is will depend on the individual task you’re working on.
For sure. I don't doubt it will be a faster machine. Most of my issue are about the costs for the incremental upgrades. The base machines all come with to little memory and ssd. The upgrades cost way too much for what you're getting. My high end 2019 macbook pro cost ~ $2500. A high end macbook pro now cost ~ $4000. I would expect the new machine to last for four years like the last one did. I have a 1TB ssd now. It's 3/4 full. The biggest consumer of space is my primary photo catalog. If I upgrade my camera in the next four years the megapixels will probably double and space will fill up even faster. The upgrade from a 1TB ssd to a 2TB ssd is $400. That's way out of line with ssd costs anywhere else. And yes, I only keep my primary data on the laptop and push everything else of to my NAS.

Create an automation to map the central scene events to actions. In triggers, choose the device, then the choose a trigger something like “Central Scene action on endpoint 0 Scene 001”, and value something like “keyPressed 2x”.
I use automation like this to make double press and triple press on one switch activate multiple devices.
