Apple to sell third-party streaming service subscriptions through 'TV' app, report says
rogifan_new said:Can someone explain to me why Apple should get a cut of someone else’s subscription revenue? I’d ask the same question of Google or Microsoft or anyone else. Apple doesn’t host the content, they don’t do marketing or promotion. And if these companies could offer their own payment system in-app they would. If the argument is they wouldn’t exist were it not for Apple’s platform then why isn’t Apple taking a cut of every Uber and Lyft transaction? -

Apple's 2019 Mac Pro is now three PCIe revisions behind
entropys said:therunningvm said:Upgrading to these new PCIE standards doesn't make much sense, since most devices you'd use are not bandwidth limited.
These are not volume products, but priced at the level you need to exchange your first born to obtain. It should want for nothing, be a test bed for extreme capabilities that may eventually trickle down to products most people use. A Mac Pro should be like formula one is for the car industry, or space technology is for, well everything.
The people buying these machines aren't looking for the latest and greatest, they're looking for compatibility.
Adopting this new standard should in theory allow you to do more with less lanes, but you would need to invest in new hardware that uses the standard. That's not really practical if all you care about is being able to reuse your current cards without running into the issue of lane availability. Right now, switching to these new standards is more expensive than its really worth, which is why they'll mostly be used by servers or supercomputers. -

Apple hit with lawsuit targeting AppleCare+ refurbished devices

Apple SSD in Touch Bar-equipped MacBook Pro fixed to motherboard, not removable
rune66Lenovo laptops have been known to come with bloteware, and modified BIOS's. said:I have been a loyal Mac buyer for 20 years but more and more is being taken away. Why is that I can get a fantastic Lenovo Thinkpad with OLED display, a proper keyboard, all the memory I need, a semi matte display that doesn't work like a mirror, for the same price as a MacBook Pro with yesterdays technology and a stupid gimmick touchbar. Apples other hardware offerings are running upgrades in slow motion not even knowing when there'll be another. And Mac OS? For last several iterations nothing has happened only loads of irrelevant features. To me Apple is without direction on the Mac hardware and OS-side.
