“the Mac Studio remains unparalleled in its performance and capabilities” for 3D rendering? I assume the context was “among Apple’s M-chip offerings,” because otherwise this is an absurd statement. 

It’s hilarious that Viacom thinks Paramount is a brand that people will find compelling. Another tone-deaf approach to modern media from old media. 

I’d love to upgrade, but there’s no equivalent to the multi-GPU 2019 Mac Pro setup available from Apple today. Their M GPUs are fine for general work, but I can’t customize a current Mac to render a 3D animation at the speed of the two dedicated GPUs in my Mac Pro.

Also, I AM bitter that Apple allowed me to spend thousands of dollars on a top of the line Mac Pro knowing that they’d be killing Intel months later. It was typically shoddy treatment of pro users that I’ve come to expect from Apple. 

Just in time for the new Mac Pro launch. 🤔😉

Looks like Tim’s $1M inauguration bribe didn’t go very far. The problem with kowtowing to an authoritarian wannabe is that nothing will ever be enough. 

Fast forward to 2020 keynote...

TIM COOK: (With hushed sincerity) We think the future of cars is ... apps.

(Collective groan)

;P

I'm starting to wonder if Apple is paralyzed by their obsession with perfection. With all of their money and staff and the opportunities in connected home, wearables, VR, auto and beyond—how is it possible that all we've gotten is an OK watch? I'm not saying I want them to release any old junk, but there is a threshold after which perfection in detail simply doesn't matter as much as having a real product in hand. A lot of artists and creator-driven companies get caught in an echo chamber of high expectations and lose site of just how good what they've already created is. Release, iterate, perfect over time so I can have more Apple, sooner!
