Apple is historically better than most about letting you turn off some of the targeting. Hopefully this can also be turned off. Of course the problem is that gambling companies (or other deep-pocketed spammers) will get around everything by simply b…

This is a vertical market device, and I wonder which of two verticals it will fit in (Or will it fit between them in some odd way)? Consumer VR headsets are gaming devices, much as their makers try to make them something else. Every vision of the …

One important caveat on products like this (I found this out the hard way on an earlier generation) is that any cloud backup solution that will back up a RAID, but not a NAS (Backblaze is one, I suspect the same restriction applies to many others) c…

The base model is mainly for fleet purchase, as the article says. At $1449 (best price in the AppleInsider price guide), it's an attractive machine for light-ish workloads. Going to 16 GB of RAM brings it up to $1649. $150 more ($1799) buys the M3 P…

A digital ad tax is about the best tax I've ever heard of. 1.) Taxes reduce consumption of whatever they're applied to (this is why cigarette taxes are high - they're equal parts anti-smoking measure and revenue generator). An ad is a nearly unique…

At first, I thought "this makes no sense" - two high end laptops that almost end up in the mobile workstation market and a consumer desktop that sells a fraction of what the consumer laptops do. The iMac is the next machine up for an update, but it …

That's very possible - I realized after my initial post that a "redesign" for the 13" Pro could be simply putting it in the 14" case (or a minor modification, like taking away a port or two).

Unless the image has been modified (or we're seeing a redesign on the 13", we know a little more than the article claims. That's either the 14" or the 16" MBP - the 13" doesn't have feet. Barring a weird upgrade (e.g. changing available RAM or SSD s…

The good news is that almost any USB-C cable should charge an iPhone. I don't know if pure data (no power at all) cables are even USB standard legal. Every cable I've ever seen will carry at least 15 watts. I think even a Thunderbolt cable in a non-…

The headline is misleading, looking at the graph... Since 2020, we've seen the same pattern each year. Samsung outsells Apple three quarters every year, then Apple takes a big lead in calendar Q4 each year - that's the iPhone intro quarter. and the …

Moof! I'm wondering if this has to do with Apple spinning out in house software to avoid anti-trust issues? Many of the potential (and some actual?) lawsuits around the App Store have to do with Apple both running the store asnd offering products in…

The other use (besides tower away from monitor) is stuffing a RAID in a closet - RAIDs tend to be noisy contraptions. Does the leak show any pricing? I can see two ways it might work - optical (which could open lengths of hundreds of meters), or add…

This card is essentially the Radeon Vega 64 that shows up in the higher-end iMac Pro (there may be modest differences in clock speed, etc.). The iMac Pro version has 16 GB of RAM, just like the WX 9100. Unfortunately, Vega 64s available separately h…

I wouldn't call "functional only in Windows" truly functional. You imply that you can get the GTX 980 to function in MacOS, but your procedure lands you in Windows... If you want a machine with high graphics performance without Mac OS X, why bother…

From what Apple's statements seem to indicate (at least to me), and from a long history of Mac use (independent photographer and photo educator), I think we're in for a very expensive machine, but with some very high-end options. 1.) Apple will alw…

I completely agree on the speed (at least display the limit - better yet, the limit and a warning at a customizable amount over)- it would be incredibly useful, especially on secondary highways where the limit dips randomly due to towns (cynics wou…

Another Volt driver here, and I second the temperature and electric car charging requests... With Apple Maps only able to stream data (no pre-downloaded large areas), and with music streaming, LTE strength and temperature can both be critical datapo…

They may be waiting for the quad cores with Iris 580... These were released in January, but I can't find them on any shipping laptop (checked Lenovo, HP and Dell (XPS and Alienware). It may be that, even if some oddball company has them, they aren't…

If "more advanced ports" means "everything needs a dongle", I'll pass... My preferred (reasonable) port configuration (I know I'm not getting Ethernet back no matter how useful it is at large institutions) would be 2 USB-C, 2 USB 3.0, HDMI, Thunder…

What doesn't make sense to me about this is that, of five models of the MacBook Pro (not counting the OLD pre-Retina 13" or various custom configurations) , ONE of them has a discrete GPU. If you count all the custom configuration, there are around …
