A 2080 is about the same performance as a 5060 and every game is going to be able to run on a 5060. You might not be running it at 4K Ultra with ray tracing enabled but you should be able to run at like 1080p High or better.
Whether or not the M5 GPU is actually capable of that level of performance or whether the drivers will let it reach its potential is of course a completely different story. GPU performance is hard to estimate based on raw specs, you just have to run benchmarks and see what you end up with.
A 5060 outperforms a 2080 by roughly 20% on most titles, across the board, not cherry-picking for the best results. They are not about the same.

This is disconnected from reality. 1080p low/medium, some games are playable but not enjoyable. Remember, I actually have a 2080, so I'm not just guessing.

Rich coming from someone who claims a 7 year old graphics card is "about the same" as a card which has 2.5x better RayTracing, has 3x faster DLSS, faster VRAM, and much better AI capabilities. The 2080 can't even encode/decode AV1...
It's much higher in some categories, but in general across gameplay the 2080 is only about 20% slower than the 5060 in otherwise similar systems. NVIDIA's 3000 series was mostly worse than the 2080 except the 3090, which itself is still is incredible compared to today's 5xxx cards
I believe it's legal because rear doors have child safety locks so often can't be opened from the inside anyway. Although that doesn't cover opening it from the outside...
One factor is that a part of their measurement is tracking how many new companies are founded and estimating how many employees a new company is likely to have. These numbers have been trending down and rapidly fell due to a lot of new companies being one person LLCs for gig economy work. It appears they haven't kept up with this trend so they overestimate how many jobs these companies will have.
That's what Intel wants everyone to believe but not quite accurate. Intel was vague at best about what the motherboard manufacturers should and were allowed to do but even following their guidance as best as possible resulted in CPU failures. Gamers Nexus did a few videos on this, here is one that covers most of it.
That's less of a thing here since this is "just" an ITX motherboard, a case, and a power supply. With the laptops replacing the board saves a bunch of other parts but here the board is basically the only part that matters.
I wonder how that will affect older devices, like Android TV streaming boxes, where you use the assistant through the remote.
I see that the article mentions this, but I'm skeptical. I think that the assistant will just be switched off, and that will be it; no more using the older Android TV box to ask for today's weather or search for videos.
I think older and low power devices would actually be easier to port: they capture the audio request, send it to the server, receive an audio response from the server and play it. No local "intelligence" at all.
So you could probably replace the whole backend while keeping things compatible as long as you maintain that simple API.
Now drag a window from one monitor to the other. The choice on X is to have both monitors run with the same specs (well, not for everything but yeah) or to have two completely separate screens at the X level which means they're isolated from each other and you can't move thing between them.
NVIDIA and AMD don't even make new GPU silicon this low-end. Their smallest current-gen GPUs all debuted at higher price points, though the Radeon RX 7600 is now available at the same price that the B580 is launching at.
Whether or not the M5 GPU is actually capable of that level of performance or whether the drivers will let it reach its potential is of course a completely different story. GPU performance is hard to estimate based on raw specs, you just have to run benchmarks and see what you end up with.
