Apple's proposed changes to Uighur Forced Labor Prevent Act leak
This is so fictitious as to be a lie. Supply chain management is always a closely held trade secret and is frequently guessed at to game the stock price. Keeping this information on a need to know basis is critical to many companies in manufacturing. NOTE: The information is disclosed just not to the like of ilk like WaPo or the NYT (Both which have been shown to favor ideology over factual reporting in the past. Remember Mike Daisey?)robaba said:This is bullshit Tim. The only reason to keep supply chain logistics hidden from public disclosure is to hide the location of manufacture, which leads us to believe your hiding the use of forced labor. Hope you get raked through the coals for this one bub.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise leaving Silicon Valley, moving to Texas
In AZ, it’s like watching a slow train wreck.razorpit said:Only problem is the company will pull all the people that made the same bad governmental decisions in CA to TX. Eventually Texas will eventually end up ruined like Colorado, Arizona, Nevada, etc.

M1 Mac mini catapulted Apple to number one in Japanese desktop PC market
What about Abstoft's FORTRAN compiler? Likewise, I think GCC (with the gfortan option) can compile FORTRAN code.blastdoor said:The price/performance/volume and per watt of the mini means that for some use cases, buying a ton of them and putting them in a server rack might make a lot of sense.For my own purposes the biggest hang up is the lack of a FORTRAN compiler. Next time I’m in the market to replace my Linux box, I’ll seriously consider 4 minis if they continue to be this competitive and the compiler issue is resolved.

Apple's new M1 graphics work makes resolution shifts instantaneous
30 monitors for Biden’s stump speeches.MplsP said:
that would take more than 6 monitors...Rayz2016 said:
Six monitors?don. said:Wow. I have 6 external displays for work via daisy-chained USB-C docks. Whenever I reboot it will occasionally swap them around putting the top on the bottom and swapping left and right. If you mouse to the screen on the right it ends up on the left. That little display changing flicker is worse than you think. There's also the app resize refresh that takes several seconds to work through before finally the buttons on the arrangement tab adjust. If you try to move a screen arrangement before it's done it will immediately cut off your mouse drag and put the screen right back inducing another round of the flicker. It took me a while to figure out the timing of the refresh and the visual changes to know when it's safe to try a screen move. Before that it was an excruciating exercise in try try try again.From what I've read it seems the current M1 can't handle this setup. Hopefully when the full sized MBPs come out I might be able to flip my screen layout in under 10 seconds it's currently a over a minute with carefully optimized movements and timing. 2019 MBP 32GB i9.What the f**k are you doing?
Video work?
Music?
Mission Control for SpaceX?
Fact-checking Trump’s tweets?
At least one of them was directionally true (and that isn’t Biden). -
Windows on Apple Silicon is up to Microsoft, says Craig Federighi
15 years ago you would be right. Satya Narayana wants MS software on all platforms where they make money.wood1208 said:Not going to happen but if Microsoft ports modified ARM Windows to run natively on M1 MACs like Windows on x86.Now a days MacOS or Windows pretty much free or people buy M1 version of Windows license from Microsoft. Customers buy MACS and load which ever OS they need for certain applications to run and switch around.
