Apple Pay Express Mode comes to New South Wales
It would be really great if we could see the price we are approving on the iPhone's SCREEN. In a lot of situations, especially when traveling, the price screen is not easy to see on hand held readers and in some cases the cashier has to type in the price and then hold out the reader to the buyer with the screen facing away from them or in a foreign language. Why was it not this way from the beginning? -
Satechi launches 16-in-1 Multimedia Pro Dock with Thunderbolt 4
The new Sonnet dock has a much better balance of ports and it's $50 cheaper: 4x USB-C 3.2, 4x USB-A 3.2, 3x Thunderbolt, 1x HDMI, x2 Audio/Mic ports, 1x RCA audio (L,R), 2.5Gbps Ethernet, NVEs storage slot, SD 4.0 slot and 100W Power Delivery. Support up to x2 6k monitors or x1 8k monitor (also over HDMI). It's easy enough to buy native USB-C (Thunderbolt) to HDMI or DisplayPort cables if you need two HDMI or DisplayPort connections; these are not adapters since HDMI and DisplayPort work natively over USB-C (Thunderbolt), as do most protocols, even ethernet.
Personally, I don't bother with USB-A unless I have a legacy devices with that type of cable. I mostly just use them for charging other devices.
The Satechi dock is beat by this new Sonnet dock in every way for less money.Sonnet Echo 20 Thunderbolt 4 SuperDock

M2 Ultra benchmarks show performance bump over M1 Ultra
9secondkox2 said:That’s cool and all, but let’s see cinebench scores. We need to see sustained performance metrics.The m1 fell off here due to a memory buffer bottleneck.Looking forward to see m2 ultra improvements.
What do you mean by memory buffer? The CPU, GPU, ML and all other processing cores have direct access to the same memory space simultaneously. Unless data is coming from the SSD, once its in RAM is does not have to be shuttled back and forth, as a traditional GPU card would have to do. This is why a Mx chip can do more with less power. -
