High-end users on 'Why I'm buying the new Mac Pro'
"yes Windows updates are garbage but malware is more prevalent only because so many people use Windows, and the Windows interface hasn't been terrible/inconstant (this is subjective I know) since Windows 8."
1. If you're a pro and can't be sure when you'll be without your main tool because Windows decided to take over for three hours, that seems pretty disqualifying to me.
2. It doesn't matter why there are more viruses that are far easier to be infected with, it matters that there are.
3. This.... Hot. Garbage.

Editorial: Apple's next hardware play could be in game controllers
In my case "augmented reality" with AirPods= walking around or driving in an older car that lack CarPlay or even bluetooth and still hearing directions in my ear. Combined with the subtle haptic cues and graphics on my Watch, it makes for getting around pretty easy without having to stare at my iPhone. Super exciting AR use case? No. Useful? Yes.

Why the Mac's migration to Apple Silicon is bigger than ARM
I submit that we are probably not living at the end of time and technological progress is seldom "settled."micabe2006 said:@narwhal: It may look that way but ALOT more programs are X86/64 The rest of the world decided to settle on x86.

Editorial: No, the new 2019 Mac Pro isn't a fairy tale come true
canukstorm said:Rajka said:I'm sorry, but I cannot justify the iMac as a prosumer Mac. I want my Mac to be readily repairable, upgradable and expandable. You know, like they were under Steve Jobs. I don't mind paying a small premium for that as long as the build quality is there, but double retail? Uh, no.On an unrelated note, the Xserve lived on to a 2009 (not 2006) model that was only discontinued in January of 2011. We still have two in heavy use at my job. -
Compared: Microsoft's Surface Pro 8 vs 12.9-inch iPad Pro
Windows is such hot garbage— and it was cobbled together with cursors and keyboards in mind, and then adapted slightly to support touch. I've never seen anyone use a Surface without the slap on keyboard/trackpad bit, and at that point why not just get a laptop? Surfaces really are the perfect MS product, in that they try to be all things to all people instead of committing to hard design choices. It's like a car that can also be a boat, so it's terrible at both. Boo this product. Booooo! -
Apple rumored to be testing macOS for M2 iPad Pro
AppleZulu said:The perennial rumor of a Mac/iPad hybrid keeps coming up because the MS Surface is such a sleek, efficient, dominating category killer.Seriously. MacOS has to run intensive software on the Mac Pro, with multiple giant screens that ergonomically will not function injury-free as touch screens. Making that OS also work in a touch environment on an iPad is a recipe for widows-like bloatware that tries to do all things, but none very well.It’s entirely possible someone in the bowels of the big round building is experimenting, but those experiments are unlikely to ever see the light of day.
But seriously, you're 1000% correct. No one ever uses an MS Surface without the keyboard/attachment because no one ever bothered to write tablet focused software for the thing. So it's just a ergo-nightmare laptop. Plus you get Windows! Hard pass.
Maybe I'm wrong and Apple will drop some weirdo mutant MacPad OS, but I doubt it. -
Is Apple's 13-inch M1 MacBook Pro worth buying?
Another case to be made for the 13" MBP over the Air is the included fan. True, it hardly ever comes on under normal load, but when I was converting a bunch of videos with Handbrake it definitely cranked the fan and presumably did the converting faster than the fanless Air could muster. Generally, I like thinner and lighter machines, but when work handed me the Pro I didn't complain.
