  • Second man sentenced for million-dollar fake iPhone return scheme

    How is paying the $577,780 restitution enforced? Is this one of those situations where it looks good on paper but will actually never happen?

    Years ago a neighbor of mine resisted arrest, ran from the cops and was tackled onto the hood of my car. The hood was scratched up pretty badly. My neighbor was deemed the responsible party and ordered to pay for the repair. He had less money than he needed to get by, was constantly leaning on others and I never got a dime. 

    Because of that I’m always curious about how payments like these ever happen, if they even do. 
    Last time this case reported in AI, it said the guy has “A Few” house in US, if I recall correctly.

  • Next Mac mini will have M2 and M2 Pro Apple Silicon chip options

    My guess is the new Mac Pro will skip M1 Ultra or M1 Ultra Deluxe altogether and use M2 Max or Ultra in the 22Q3. If Mac Mini use M2 before Apple release Mac Pro with M1 Ultra Deluxe, it will be hard to market and justify the extra cost, even M2 basic is only 30% faster than M1 basic. 

    Mini being the cheapest Mac, I don’t think Apple will be rush to update it. The reason why Apple released M1 Mini before other Mac is they want people adopt M1 with the cheapest Mac and do the M transition asap. Now, apple will treat Mini like it treats  IPhone SE, there is not point to put the new shiny M2 in mini in a hurry.

    Well, it looks good on number in the presentation. But let’s not forget the Ultra is comparing with a 2 year old Xeon. 2 years is a lot in computer technology. Not to mention, arguably AMD’s Epyc is the fastest CPU in the PC world. 

    Let’s hope the future Mac Pro will be even faster with 4/8 sets of CPU. But it might cost $8000 on the entry model.
    Intel's offerings until just recently have remained stagnant on the Xeon side.  It's only right to compare it with Apple's current Mac Pro offerings, even though it's 2 years old.  It's still incredible how Apple has pushed the performance envelope in those two years where Intel was nowhere to be seen.

    While AMD's offerings is also impressive, when compared in terms of performance-per-watt, ASi outperforms them both.
    Honestly, I don’t understand why Apple is so emphasis on performance/watt. Sure save energy is good and less noise from fan. But no one really care if their $100000 sports car use much less gas than the next car. People care about how fast it can go and how it handle the corner, not gas/miles.

    Can you point us to a newer Intel offering that is in production and faster?

    If not, this sentiment is irrelevant. There is also something faster in development.
