cgWerks said: Heh, yeah. But, my point was that those things aren't necessarily tied together. They could have certainly added the T2 without FaceID or TouchID. The iMac Pro, for example, has the T2, but no TouchID/FaceID. Yeah, they could. …

cgWerks said: re: rest - my 2018 mini doesn't have TouchID/FaceID, but has SSD and T2. The iMac has SSD. They certainly could have put the T2 in there... the most likely explanation is the Fusion drive, right? Or, just lazy? I'm going to go …

killermike2178 said: Not trying to defend Apple here, but if you'll forgive the expression, it's not an apples to apples comparison. That 2 TB SSD option from Apple is an NVMe drive, while the OWC 2TB SSD is a SATA III drive. NVMe is significan…

OWC sells a 2.0TB SSD for $449.99, while Apple charges $1,100.00 to step up to a 2TB SSD from the 'Best' config of the iMac. And in modern Apple fashion, there's no way to upgrade the SSD yourself. Given that I am working with a pure 1TB SSD in my…

Corel's website says the suite has a page layout component. Really looking forward to more information on that. With Adobe InDesign stagnating, and Affinity Publisher in the pipeline, this is great news for the publishing market. Especially those …

If I didn't know better, I'd think Thunderbolt devotees were intentionally sabotaging USB efforts. But no, it's USB's own proponents that are destroying its branding.

So we're not even allowed to discuss the Alex Jones censorship issue? That's terribly ironic.

Hardware's not always another tangent. I'm pretty sure Apple developers need an updated MacBook Pro with a working keyboard.

I'd really like to see Apple give Contacts some dev time. I'd like an easy API that allows you to scan in a business card, automagically recognize the contact details (data detectors already does this) and add or update the contact card, pulling in…

I know an iMac update is expected, but how pressing of a need is there for that? In contrast, the MacBook Pro is suffering. The keyboard is problematic, the Touch Bar needs to go, FaceID would be very helpful and the RAM upgrade issue is getting lo…

So these are eight newly discovered flaws, which means we won't see hardware fixes for another year or two at least. The article doesn't say whether these flaws also exist in Apple's A-series chips. (Spectre and Meltdown affected the A-chips as wel…

Is there any word on when we'll see new Macs with chips that don't have the flaws?

This isn't an argument for Apple chips over Intel chips. Hardware security issues can crop up regardless of builder. This is an argument for not soldering in CPUs.

Back in the ole days on page 4, I posted about how this is actually a forward-looking decision by the FCC, given that 5G internet is poised to bring competition to the home ISP space across the U.S., and there's no reason for the government to micro…

It's been amazing watching this debate unfold at "tech sites" like Gizmodo and Engadget. These are people who are paid to report on tech matters and none of them seems to know that in less than two years we'll have 5G mobile connections building out…
