  • Compared: Mac Studio versus Mac Pro

    It is too bad they've killed any upgradability and any internal expansion capabilities.

  • Which upgrades are worth it for the Mac Studio

    Can't believe Apple made this machine completely closed to upgrades.    Would also liked to have seen the 27" iMac and new Mini by now.

    People STILL use FileMaker?!  :D
    Filemaker appears to have stood still since the mid 2000s. I don't bother with it anymore.
    Complete nonsense. One of the most innovative products on the market. You obviously didn’t bother to even look at it since the mid 2000s…

    I have a licensed copy. I use it for my legacy databases, but not when I want to build a new one. Airtable is far easier to use. FileMaker is essentially unchanged for maybe ten years, with incremental updates only. They are now emphasising the ability to make apps, if only the software was easier to use. Whenever I worked with it I had to re-learn it all from scratch. Even Photoshop is easier to master. 
    If you think FM hasn't changed in ten years, you haven't been paying attention.  Airtable is not comparable to the Filemaker platform.  For basic stuff it is fine, but not even close overall.

    Filemaker is very capable and has a large customer base.  Far better than MS Access (not to mention cross platform).  If you haven't looked at it recently, it's worth consideration.

  • Apple employees express concern over new child safety tools

    This is a slippery slope that should be avoided.  I'm all for catching bad guys (and gals), but we should have rights against unreasonable search and seizure.   The stuff on my phone should be protected as much as stuff on my physical desk.   Get a warrant and do things the right way.   Americans are innocent until proven guilty.
