The whole thing is populist attempt at vote buying. All of these companies have monopolistic tendencies, but for each they manifest themselves VERY differently, and for each totally different measures would be appropriate. Apple is the least worri…

The article fails to mention that Apple skipped an X-generation chip for the iPad Pro refresh. I’d say they intentionally held back such as not to tip their hand. If you extrapolate the performance gains from A12 to A13, you can imagine where an A1…

One hopes, that freed from intel’s constraints, Apple will finally make ECC RAM a standard option across all its hardware range, they save enough on the CPU that this minor added expense can be absorbed, and then be used as a unique selling point...

Perfect in conjunction with any iMac Pro or Mac Pro that has ECC RAM, plus the free OpenZFS drivers: set the drives up in zRAID5 or zRAID6 configurations, and call it a day... It would be nice if this thing had also room for a massive eGPU and a co…

People forget that Apple and Intel developed TB TOGETHER. It’s not like a PROTOCOL is depending on a specific CPU 🤦🏻♂️

These features may be great, but when a supposedly independent site sounds like a paid-for Apple add, but has amateur production values, it loses any credibility. Either produce infomercials, but then match or surpass Apple’s production values, or …

„[...]members of the association are reportedly complaining that the required pop-up, and reportedly limited ways to customize it, mean there is "a high risk of user refusal." Well, yeah! If there’s a high risk of refusal, it means the feature work…

Will this work, at slower speeds of course, when attached to a USB port, or must this be a TB port?
-
The question is: will direct booting an alternative OS, e.g. Linux, be possible and allowed, or be prevented by Apple’s security measures? Windows is already available for ARM, even though not widely available compared to x86; so the question is th…

OMG! Please bring Target Drive Mode back! I can’t say how often TDM saved my butt. You can’t run a low level disk utility or data retrieval software on an SMB mount, or clone sections of a file system with permissions and ownerships intact from a ne…

The best part that Mail.app’s “classic view” (which sounds dangerously close to “deprecated view”) got renamed column view and received a lot of love after having been nearly castrated in Catalina. Mail.app is back, as I was damn close to switch to …

macOS 11 is pretty useless. Eleven? that’s a tiny step not a giant leap, and it correlates to nothing. If they had wanted to get rid of the 10.x Scheme, they could just have called it macOS 16, but retained logical continuity. Or they could have c…

A pity, with these specs a iPad Pro with MagicKeyboard would have been sufficient; was hoping one might just do an install on either the iPad or an USB SSD and use the iPad for development...

There’s a lot of truth to it... ...until we enter software subscriptions. I rather pay $500 for a box of Adobe software that I can use for an eternity, than paying a monthly tax, and my ability to be creative and earn money evaporated when I need i…

AppleInsider said: Although apps released through the Mac App Store would likely be unfazed, things would be a bit trickier for independently distributed apps. For example, developers would need to build both ARM and x86 versions of their ap…

BS ruling. Any non-authorized repair voids warranty anyway, but last I checked, we own the devices and don’t rent them from Apple. Also, there is Apple pretending to be a “green” company, and then takes action against refurbished repair parts, while…

I have Catalina, and updates show up, but won’t download. Didn‘t try to purchase something. Friend of mine has the same problem; no idea if he’s on Catalina or Mojave.

The whole point of the DIN Form factor is, that with proper cable adapters these should fit into just about any car with DIN or double-DIN car radios.
