  • M1 Pro and M1 Max GPU performance versus Nvidia and AMD

    BlizzardBlizzard
    You can't compare Teraflops from one GPU architecture to the next.  That is not how it works.

    For example, the Radeon RX 5700 XT had 9.7 Tera flops for single, the previous generation the Radeon RX Vega 64 had a 12.6 Tera flops for single and yet in the benchmarks the Radeon RX 5700 XT was superior.

    The idea that a Vega 56 is as fast as a GeForce RTX 2080 is just laughable.  There is not a single benchmark review that puts the Vega 56 matching or beating the GeForce RTX 2080.

  • How Steve Jobs saved Apple with the iMac 26 years ago

    BlizzardBlizzard
    just try to think of any other computer — any other device — that is still being sold a quarter of a century after it was launched.

    Dell Dimensions are still being sold........

    Thinkpad laptops are still being sold.

    Playstations are still being sold

    Heck even Sony's Walkman is still being sold.

    There are a lot of electronic products that are still being sold a quarter of a century later using the same name branding.

    Medical teams literally across the globe are all saying the same thing: Apple Vision Pro is a medical game changer.
    Which teams?  Can you give names?  How about links?

    The last paragraph says very clearly it’s being used more: “ Despite being used for surgeries previously in the UK, and now Brazil,”. Surgeries plural in the UK. 
    So, in other words, one person in the UK has used it for multiple surgeries. ........

  • Apple's Self Service Repair unlikely to impact iPhone upgrade cycle, study finds

    And the post before mine is hilarious in thinking Apple will start selling parts for 5 and 6 year old devices.

    Why is that hilarious to you? There are lot of poorer nations where a five and six-year-old device is what they can afford, especially in Africa and South Asia. You take the used iPhones in North America, Europe, South Korea, and Japan and you refurbish them and then sell them in Africa and South Asia.

  • Apple will surrender less than a day of earnings to satisfy class action suit

    This somehow has to stop.

    Countries with their fines and individuals w/their class action suits are using Apple as their personal trust account to withdraws funds.]

    This lawsuit was due to Cook purposely lying about the sale slowdown in China to investors, you can't do that.

  • Epic 'Killers of the Flower Moon' flops at the box office

    The biggest problem for the movie is that it has really serious pacing issues in the first 2 and half hours, it has basically no drama in the first 2 and half hours.

    This link only provides articles that discuss theoretical applications and theoretical benefits.  None of them are papers, or even studies for that matter, that show empirical of someone actually using an apple vision pro.

  • Apple employees disgruntled over return to working in offices

    Survey says over half of Apple’s employees leaving over this? Absolute bullshit. One commenter had only been working there three weeks? Gimme a break. Then comes the money shot. The survey predicted everyone would leave after 4/15 when their stock options vested. Didn’t happen.

    Steve Jobs was famous for saying he only wanted A listers working for him, not B and C listers. Well, these buffoons are definitely not A types are they. The B and C types are a dime a dozen and can easily be replaced. They do the paperwork, data entry, run the copy machines, they do not work with Johny Srouji do they.

    Apple has gotten so big they have been forced to hire entitled millennials who want six figure salaries without producing anything.

    Yet another clickbait survey trying to smear large companies. 
    Imagine simping  for large companies you don't work for.

    I’m curious, does Google not charge a 30% commission as well? Why is it only Apple in the crosshairs?
    Because Apple's app store makes up the vast majority of profit for app makers.  Plus if they get a ruling against Apple it will more likely than not apply to the android store.
