I’m surprised more people aren’t aware of how much manipulation and disinformation happens on TikTok. It has been extensively studied and documented. The current Romanian election was extremely heavily influenced by TikTok, to such a degree that t…

MacPro said: You are aware, I hope, I was referring to the OP's comment about 40 years hence? If you don't think in forty years computing power will be over 1000 times more powerful I am guessing you are young? I started woking for Apple in the …

dope_ahmine said: CPUs and GPUs actually complement each other in AI. CPUs handle tasks with lots of decision-making or data management, while GPUs jump in to power through the raw computation. It’s not just about one or the other; the be…

Galfan said: There is an error in this article. It seems that for the m4 pro gpu graph the editors picked out the opencl test report from Geekbench instead of the metal test. in metal the m4 pro gpu scores around 113865 Nice catch, thanks!…

emoeller said: Would be really interesting to know the degree of binning that Apple uses. Generally the more complex the higher the failure rate but that leaves a chip that could probably operate using fewer CPU/GPU parts resulting in a lo…

Weird title to the article. The iPhone doesn't prevent innovation, it enables it. Or rather, the revenue from it enables a LOT of innovation. Creating new stuff and turning it into successful product is really hard, and really expensive. The "cr…

So... radical question here: if these keyboards are plugged in, do they use USB to communicate or are they still bluetooth? They're going to be useless to me if they still use BT when plugged in.

dewme said: Where this may be a bigger concern is if you want to use a mounting fixture that allows you to mount the Mac mini on the back of a monitor that has a VESA mount. However, I’m pretty sure that makers of special mounting adapters wi…

It’s almost like they don’t want people pushing that button. And don’t want accidental pushes when trying to use the ports. And the machine is tiny and weighs practically nothing, so if you do have to push it tilting it slightly is hardly a proble…

mpantone said: It is crystal clear that Apple Engineering (both hardware and software) doesn't have the bandwidth to launch all four variants at the same time or in quick succession. I'm not expecting all 4 variants, but 3 is entirely po…

nubus said: Apple Intelligence is the closest thing to vaporware and FUD we have seen for a decade or more. It reminds me of the demo I got of the Copland OS by Apple. AI will be part of iOS 18 - except that not a single part will. But some …

The article says nothing about a device which is mobile. It describes an iPad on an arm, presumably with a heavy base or mounting bracket. I don’t see myself wanting one of these either, but I think there is a potential here, if the device’s movem…

9secondkox2 said: M4 is old news now. Forget about it. What? It has only shipped in 1 product, only a few months ago, and they haven't introduced the pro/max/ultra flavors. You're delusional if you think they're going to M5 in the nea…

You can plug in your Apple keyboard and trackpad full time now. I have mine on a KVM. Do they now use USB when plugged in, or do they just draw power? That’s what they did last time I looked. Plus I don’t like trackpads, and the mouse …
