godofbiscuitssf said: Apple is also part of the RISC V consortium. As soon as Apple announced Macs as having “Apple Silicon” and not “ARM-based CPUs” I knew it’d be a possibility that they’d always remain open to other ISAs. If RISC V contin…

The biggest apparent technical issue seems to be the failure of the quad-die Apple Silicon chip. Perhaps they could make up for this with a dual socket system? In principle, GPU support is a driver issue, not a HW issue. It'd also be great if the…

Can you tell me which app you were using for sleep tracking? It's the one feature that's kept me from upgrading to an Apple Watch, because i never found any Apps that could break out sleep into the 4 categories. Thanks so much for this article - i…

Guys, no one is implying Apple will make a physical car. It's like AppleTV - initially, everyone hoped for an amazing Apple TV that was transparent and thin. But it ended up just being a little box you hook up to a normal TV. There's no reason to…

Intel is partly fabless. Their high end chips are fabricated at TSMC, and their lower end chips are fabbed using their classic technology. Intel's hope was that by 2025 to be able to make their own chips again. We'll see how that timeline plays o…

I wish people would design an official magnetic "pass through" system so that you could stack multiple MagSafe devices - it's such a pain to have to keep ripping them off the back and swapping them, e.g. removing a magnetic pop-socket stand to add a…

Apple made almost $90 billion last quarter alone!

FWIW, I found the best performance using Azul's Java 17 ARM64 JDK with ManyMC. It's truly amazing - peak is about 100x faster in everything - imagine selecting a Minecraft world and being able to start playing in less than 4 seconds! . Minecraft an…

Your mileage obviously may vary. I have a 16" Macbook Pro with the 10 CPUs and 32 GPU cores. Running straight x86 Java Minecraft through Rosetta is honestly barely playable - sometimes you can get 20 fps, but you get frequent slowdowns. It's a lo…

Buy a 16" Macbook Pro with an 8TB hard drive. Tear the screen off with your bare hands. Done.

I know this is a basic question, but I haven't seen it answered anywhere: Can the US president force a US based company to ban an App in a foreign country? Or can companies do what they feel like outside the US? I realize a President could always …

And think how much better bootcamp will work for Windows 10 on ARM than running in an ARM emulator on an x86 chip.

For me, all the pain already happened with the move to Catalina. I already lost all the software that isn't already being actively developed, which for me was most of it. (And this wasn't old software either - dang that 2006 decision to have one M…

knowitall said: It will be the best move of Apple, ever. It is also important to do it as fast as possible, late 2020 is already a bit late. Maybe no one sees this coming but competition from opensource hardware and software designs will be …

It'll be very interesting to see the speed of conversion: Back in 2006, Apple announced the first Intel based Mac, and within 12 months had switched all of their products to Intel. But at least they provided Rosetta so you could still run PowerPC …

The worst part of Apple's focus on Metal is it means the Mac loses a lot of cross platform games because it doesn't support a cross platform graphics API and they can't afford to write an entirely different engine just for the Mac. Maybe someone ca…

> Although, it seems to me that the main advantage of FaceID is that it enables a no-bezel screen that uses the whole front of the phone - rather than how the phone is unlocked. You mean you didn't notice the notch? There again - coolness over …

I feel like this is the perfect phone for anyone that doesn't feel they need an iPhone that looks like the newest and coolest. TouchID works better than FaceID in most situations, a home button is easier than swiping up constantly. 256 megabytes i…

razorpit said: I haven't been keeping up on these like I should, could you purchase something like this and say, build a RAID 5 or 6, fill it with four 14tb drives now, and then add more 14tb drives down the road to increase capacity? Or do y…
