Even without 10nm they can make their chips better by improving the architecture or adding more cores. I think Intel will keep pumping out new chips and Apple will be able to keep releasing updated Macs if they want to.

Computers are stable, mobile phones are stable. What will be the next big thing?

I quite like Mr. Ingenius, I think he's funny.

The title of his talk is rumored to be "Magazine binding designs: 1993 to today, a retrospective."

roake said:The digital key issue makes sense, as it would work during testing by the engineering team, but was somehow rendered invalid upon final launch of the hardware. This does seem to represent a significant quality-control issue, but noth…

That's great! The i9 is a worthwhile upgrade now.

The article says you should have a backup and a spare computer. Why not combine both and have your main computer backup to the spare instead of having a special purpose backup device.

So the power goes from the Tesla battery to the Nomad battery to the iPhone battery, would there be any loss of energy with all those transfers?

I'm pretty happy with my BlackMagic eGPU. As the video points out, its extremely quiet even when the video card is maxed out. One issue I have found is that it suffers from capacitor/coil whine. So as I do different things on my laptop that cause va…

It's a good idea if the cost of a certificate is just enough to cover the testing process, but if they try to make it in to a money making exercise it will put the cost up for everyone. Cables can be surprisingly expensive already.

dewme said: The 2018 MacBook Pros are a nice incremental, sustaining update over their predecessors. The lack of a splashy announcement during a keynote confirms that Apple isn't making a big deal about these. Maybe in a year or two we'll see…

Here are some more games that work well with Blackmagic eGPU + internal screen: defaults write -app "Rise of the Tomb Raider" GPUSelectionPolicy -string preferRemovabledefaults write -app "Bioshock3" GPUSelectionPolicy -string preferRemovabledefault…

What about intellectually curious people? For them, watching something wouldn't necessarily mean they agree with it, leading to a false profile. I guess all these companies need to make money is that the majority, not all, profiles are correct.

I discovered you can make some games use the eGPU to render on the internal display using a terminal command, e.g. defaults write -app "Rise of the Tomb Raider" GPUSelectionPolicy -string preferRemovable Gives me exactly the setup I want, a normal …

One new thing I have learned: to get the eGPU to "replace" the internal discrete GPU and become the default, you don't actually have to clamshell the laptop, you just have to open Display Preferences, Arrangement tab, and drag the little white menu …
