  • Apple News+ publishers see subscriber benefits amid low revenue

    emig647emig647
    I did subscribe, I cancelled. It wasn't worth it when half the stories that were blocked I could get somewhere else or just weren't worth reading. Maybe I'm not the target audience though. I recently cancelled my NYTimes subscription as well. $40 a month for Sunday papers was just too high. I can't be the only one trying to avoid being nickel and dimed by subscription services.

  • Mac Pro, Pro Display XDR orders start December 10

    Super excited for this. My trashcan has done great through the years for software development, video editing / encoding and audio processing. I think it will become a rack computer as a git/web/3D model rendering server. I definitely got my money out of it and can't wait to get a new one.

    I think  did the right thing with this new design, it selfishly fits my needs perfectly. I can see how others may see the cost as a bit much to swallow. I believe  could have done more to make it a little easier to obtain for the average prosumer. Perhaps a different motherboard with a single cpu desktop configuration, sans-ECC memory and some other downgrades.

    For those of us that have been asking for a new Mac Pro on this scale, it's time to put our money where our mouth is to show this is what we wanted. Let  know there is a market and hopefully they will see it to produce smaller scale Mac Pros for prosumers.

  • T-Mobile COO Mike Sievert replaces John Legere as CEO in May 2020

    His talents would be wasted on a trash ponzi scheme company like WeWork. He was definitely at the center of pulling T-Mobile out from a funk. Hope their trend continues so someone can fight off Verizon and ATT. 

    I’m intrigued in what his next move will be.

    You laugh, and I used to as well, until I considered the use case of those with Parkisons (MJF) and those in wheelchairs.

    Hmm, why not HDMI 2.1 or 2.2 when they first upgrade?

    Could it mean it now supports the "HDMI 2.x" family, including 2.1 and 2.2? Not sure how HDMI version numbers work and what is backwards compatible between versions.
    HDMI 2.1 is a whole new system that requires new hardware. 2.1 nearly tripled the bandwidth from 18Gbps -> 48Gbps. It allows up to 10k resolution @ 120fps. Highly unlikely this version was updated for that kind of bandwidth. :(

    Still a welcoming change as I haven’t seen a version that supports 60fps yet.
