    Apple doesn't give a shit about thermals. According to them the plebs that cannot purchase a MacBook Pro deserve something that is horribly handicapped. No wonder people are still holding onto their Intel Macs
    I have the last generation of Intel MacBook Pro and it runs extremely hot and drains battery fast. I hate it. I will have to sell it soon because it's really that bad.

    Can it handle multiple hour zoom calls without thermal throttling?  That’s my only question. 
    Shouldn’t be a problem because it’s not doing much other that accessing the internet. Thermal throttling happens when the CPU, GPU and storage are being constantly accessed. Zoom doesn’t do that. 

    update: Here's what Zoom uses just to start up. Not much.


    What app is that?

    My iPP10.5 and eyes needs to be color calibrated as the pictures look like silver to me! A different shade of silver, but silver nonetheless. There's not much hue of gold or cream or yellow in the finish in the images.

    Request: Please have comparison photos with other machines. Stacking them on top of each other is nice, but it would be nice if you included side-by-side on a table so heights can be more easily seen.
    It did look silver to me but when the old silver plug was shown, the relative perception of new MacBook has shifted to starlight hue. 

    When I set the downloaded images to ML Auto Enhance in Pixelmator Pro, it literally showed the right Starlight hue so it's definitely the photos not being white-balanced correctly. So, it's not your monitor that is the problem.

  • Twitter sues Elon Musk for backing out of $44 billion merger

    If Elon Musk asked for bot account and Twitter failed to provide that, then I don't see how it's illegal or how he can be sued.
     
    It's same with buying a house, a buyer want to have the house inspected and all questions answered before full purchase begins. If the seller fail to provide everything the buyer ask for, the seller has no right to sue.

  • Jony Ive is no longer consulting for Apple

    It's time to let him go for good. 

    I wish the UX would be more clear and intuitive and he literally made the iOS 7 difficult. There's so much cognitive burden. It's too flat. It's difficult to intuitively discover.

    But I see the refinements over time and every iteration, the cognitive burden becomes lighter and lighter.
