airplay receiving (from a lan device to a lan device) on the latest macOS (for using a mac as an airplay display) requires login via an apple id. what the fuck.
it would be nice if the MBP also offered an additional 4-20tb of slow onboard flash, separate from the main boot disk, for bulk storage. like a few 1tb microSDs. then the library can be on the slow, and the proxy media or smart previews can be on the internal fast flash.
