  • Late 2025 for M4 Mac Studio & Mac Pro seems more certain now

    Another bone-headed move by Apple if true! Who in their right mind would buy an M2 Studio at this point?   There will be no M3 Studio.  I don’t want or need a high-end laptop, M3, M4, whatever.  I want the I/O capability afforded by the Studio line.  Let’s get the M4 Studio line out sooner than later!

    I have an M2 Max Mac Studio. I don't want a faster Mac - I want my M2 iPad Pro to let me work when I'm not at my desk. I was ready to completely give up on Apple - I don't say this lightly - when they decided to try gaslighting us again into hoping that someday this would happen. I am not falling for it a third time - I'm not buying an M4 iPad Pro until it can run MacOS apps and/or VMs and multitask.

    Until then, I just use my iPad Pro to take notes and do Sudoku. I don't even have Netflix, and I can't even use adblockers in Firefox so I don't watch videos on it at all.

    Tips are great for rewarding a job well done. In this case however, since the money is split between all the workers, what would I be rewarding? If it doesn't go to the employee that did the good job, I won't be leaving any tips. And 45 days of bereavement leave for a pet gerbil? They're living in fantasy land. Unions are just legalized protection rackets.
    Tips are NOT for that.

    Tips are exactly for that. It's that sense of entitlement that has corrupted the whole practice.

    Bet you can't wait to tip that IRS agent that does your audit.
    To be clear, I abhor tipping and want nothing to do with it. Tipping has nothing to do with rewarding a good job, though, and never has been outside of some old-timey movies. It is, and always has been, a way around paying fair wages for their labor.

    Here’s a tip: don’t change the subject.
