  • Samsung's new 27-inch monitor competes with Apple's Studio Display at half the price

    rundhvidrundhvid
    The M8, which now comes in a new size, is still packed with features, including support for 4K resolution, HDR10+, and up to 400 nits of brightness. Both the M8 and the M7 smart monitors also offer color coverage up to 99% sRGB, so colors should be well represented on the screens.


    In case anyone considers this monitor—or any Samsung display—for video content, beware that Dolby Vision is NOT supported!

    How about that: mighty impressive performance of the 7-GPU core M1 🦖

    On a side note, I have yet to notice the fan in my M1-macMini (sitting on my desk, just in front of the keyboard). In fact, I haven’t heard the fan at all, despite torturing the machine by restoring Aperture libraries up to 500.000 thousand pictures. (no complaining, though 😋)
    Aperture still runs?! Wow!
    Yep, it sure does, given a little help: Retroactive

  • Apple wants to make grooved keys to stop nasty finger oil transfer to MacBook Pro screens

    rundhvidrundhvid

    Breaking news:
    "[A] keyboard is one of the most frequently touched parts of a computer," says Apple. "Over time, keyboards collect large amounts of oil, dirt, grime, and other contaminants, especially from a user's hands."
    —a keyboard has been touched!
    And the culprit were a couple of hands 🙌


    "Recent advances in portable computing have also led to thinner, more compact devices," it continues, which "increases the likelihood of contact between the keys of the keyboard and the display while the notebook computer is closed and the display screen is positioned adjacent to the top surfaces of the keycaps."
    The depth of the clamshell’s display- and/or keyboard-part is totally irrelevant in this context.

    The principal causal factor is the hinge:
    —if the orientation of the hinge was inverted, so the closed clamshell did not trap the grime against the display, this specific issue would be eliminated. However, this negates the purpose of the clamshell.

    The obvious synthesis: Introduce The Gap!
    —the MBP’s unibody is rigid enough that a gap of a few millimeters would prevent direct contact between the clamshell’s two prongs when closed.

    The EU needs to remember they would be speaking German today if not for the United States. 
    I have several expensive charging stands for my iPhone and Apple Watch. I bet they are not gonna reimburse me for their cost when I have to buy new ones. 
    Apple should stop selling their product in the EU. See how long it takes for the people to raise enough hell with the EU that they change their tune. 
    Ask someone to help you with reading basic history, buddy!
    27 million dead Russians/USSR (of which 10-11 million were soldiers) during WWII are the primary reason I don’t speak German!
    Compare that to the 405.399 dead American soldiers.

    Or death toll as a fraction of population size:

    Poland 16%
    Lithuania 14%
    Russia/USSR 14%

    Great Britain 0,9%
    USA 0,3%

    I am grateful for all who helped defeat the Third Reich—regardless of their nationality—but it is indisputable that it was the sacrifices made by the USSR that decided the outcome of WWII.

    This article could have been more interesting, informative and shorter if you had refrained from your usual bitterness at other journalists.
    It’s not funny anymore, just boring.
    Read the room man, first post way off base, this forum isn't for you.
    Jerm has a point, DED has tendency to repeat the same tropes in his excellent articles. 


    True, almost!

    —DED is relentless in highlighting the un-intelligent criticism of , as this embarrassing narrative about the unmistakably successful company once again proves invalid, to put it mildly.

    It is long overdue for these “industry insiders” to contribute by doing actual research—and should that day come, I bet DED will be relieved this farce is finally over.

    —when the “blind moles” cease to sprout their nonsense, so too will the imperative for DED to calling them out.
