Apple insists 8GB unified memory equals 16GB regular RAM
Sure, 8GB of RAM is sufficient for SOME people TODAY, but what about tomorrow? I wouldn't want to buy a system today with 8GB of RAM except for the most basic of use cases because I know it won't last as long as a system with 16GB of RAM.

Tim Cook highlights all-time record for Apple Services & quarterly best iPhone sales
Currently on iPhone 12.
I went to look at the iPhone 15.
Couldn't find any qualitative reason to upgrade, except for better battery life.
I'm someone who doesn't mind spending. Just want to have a reason.
Ok, so what would make me buy? I'm not sure...maybe...
- Telescopic zoom (like the Max, but on the other phones, and with more zoom, 5x isn't crazy impressive compared to other phones)
- Much faster charging
- gesture control over music playback, web surfing, etc.
- something I haven't thought of yet??? -
Apple hikes Apple One cost by up to $5 as most services prices rise
The move from $30 to $33 last year felt steep but acceptable given the inflationary environment.
Now it's $38 and it just seems too high to be worthwhile.
Apple Cloud and Music are the main services we use. Apple Arcade and Apple TV are nice-to-haves. Apple News and Fitness don't get used.
Might be cheaper and easier to go to Spotify Family and 2TB iCloud for $28.

High-end users on 'Why I'm buying the new Mac Pro'
The Defense Department puts Top Secret information on AWS (https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/publicsector/announcing-the-new-aws-secret-region/)...pretty sure they can handle PHI info properly.tedz98 said:
AWS is HIPPA compliant and will sign a BAA. There’s no reason you can’t put PHI in the Amazon Cloud. You’re incorrectly limiting your organization’s IT options if you aren’t evaluating cloud options. There may be other reasons not to use AWS, but HIPPA and PHI is not one of them.tipoo said:We deal with PHI data that can't go on AWS or any outside servers. Some of our machines are 768GB RAM, the previous workstation limit, as virtualized instances as mentioned will take a heck of a lot of memory relative to their need for CPU. That bit seems to be throwing off a lot of people online who can't imagine needing 1.5TB in a single workstation. We were already maxing out older platforms.
