Heh heh. Just for laughs. Not a serious play on what really works and what doesn't. Have a good weekend all.

I work for a large company in a new building. Conference rooms all have big TVs. In every table are retractable HDMI/Ethernet cords. Also just sitting on every table are little keychains with 3 adapters: 1 is iPhone to HDMI (plus a USB-C-looki…

Just looked at the US Apple store base MacBook Pro 13". Going from 128GB of SSD storage to 2TB is $1000. Assumptions: Both what's in the Mac and this external enclosure are fast & high-quality. The "Pluggable" people need to pay for the R&am…

iFixit is great. I used them to replace the batteries on two old 64GB iPhone 4S's. Battery-Kit with tools: $17. Battery: $14. Revived two ancient devices from a drawer, added $6 amazon rubber cases, and now they're iPods for our 4-year-old. I…

Years ago I had this piece of SW installed on a desktop that would download a chunk of data, process it, and upload the answer. I think it was for S.E.T.I or something. Distributed (donated) computing. Thinking of the A13, and Apple's advances in…

Can I sue Apple since their new Mac Pro and super-screen and super-stand are creating an intense desire inside me? It's really a distraction.... I'll settle the suit for.....one of each! Cheers! Have a good weekend all.

Apple Arcade has me wanting all-new everything. Our basic home needs are so simple (internet e-mail and photos) that we're still on a 2009 iMac, a 2008 & 2009 Macbook, and iPad mini 2's (iOS-12!). Still brings joy every day that such old HW wa…

The internet is pretty wonderful in its ability to disseminate useful information, obscure or not. I was re-imaging a 2007 & 2008 iMac that I put little SSDs in (still beautiful, basic internet terminal). I replaced the little button-cell batt…

Can AI add to the piece with some history? Wasn't the original Glass Cube made of many panes of glass (biggest avail per technology), then when tech got better, it was re-glassed with bigger panes? If I'm seeing the image correctly, it's 3 panes p…

The small white spots are most likely light-reflections from the zillion bright little lights in the event; like a jewelry store. I thought they were blemishes too at first.... DscheyH said: The shown iPhone image on top of the articl…

Thanks all for the good discussion.

Curiosity question as a non-watch-owner: If someone was really into the miraculous health/medical tracking the watch provides, I wonder if it's possible to have two watches on one "account". Then one can track heart-stuff & movement during the…

/s Apple kept my old would-have-failed-intolerably phone going even longer, delaying my next mandatory purchase (Battery or phone). Instead of a nice hand-made thank you card, I'll sue. /s

Does the game lose too much if one isn't interested in their kids (13 and 11) doing any of the social aspects of the game?

Can the author comment on what's hinted at here in the comments: Using/living-with one of those super-small USB keys that barely pokes out of the side? [I know it's not USB anymore...] Are those fast enough for apps/video to get back and forth fr…

I absolutely love that sculpted metal case. In person I bet it will be mesmerizing. I joked on other thread here about getting an empty one with a Mac Mini inside, just to have the case to look at. Heh heh.

But will it Blend?

Can I get a Mac Pro with that wonderful case, but inside is only a Mac Mini hanging in the center?
-
At FIRST glance the hole patterns look a bit odd, but somewhere on the Mac Pro webpage they show a hunk of metal getting hogged-out from both sides, creating the overlapping holes which leads to the pattern. I suspect in-person the look is way bet…

I like the comment here about Apple training us to be ready for no-moving-part keyboards. Consider the iPhone home button. All glass, not an actual button, but has a taptic engine to shake when pressed. Feels EXACTLY like a button that clicks. On…
