  • Will Smith's Oscars slap didn't make Apple delay 'Emancipation,' says director

    Well, in my opinion, educating myself on the travesties committed—for centuries—by the western civilization I am part of and so bears responsibility for, is more important than other aspects related to the actor who is the lead character in the movie.

  • Greg Joswiak confirms iPhone's future move to USB-C

    The EU needs to remember they would be speaking German today if not for the United States
    I have several expensive charging stands for my iPhone and Apple Watch. I bet they are not gonna reimburse me for their cost when I have to buy new ones. 
    Apple should stop selling their product in the EU. See how long it takes for the people to raise enough hell with the EU that they change their tune. 
    Ask someone to help you with reading basic history, buddy!
    27 million dead Russians/USSR (of which 10-11 million were soldiers) during WWII are the primary reason I don’t speak German!
    Compare that to the 405.399 dead American soldiers.

    Or death toll as a fraction of population size:

    Poland 16%
    Lithuania 14%
    Russia/USSR 14%

    Great Britain 0,9%
    USA 0,3%

    I am grateful for all who helped defeat the Third Reich—regardless of their nationality—but it is indisputable that it was the sacrifices made by the USSR that decided the outcome of WWII.

  • Compared: New Apple TV 4K versus 2021 Apple TV 4K

    Wondering why this device only supports Apple Lossless not Hi-Ress lossless. Looking for any easy way to set this up rather than using a Mac Mini plugged into my hifi.
    Excellent question/point:  Hi-Res—available at no additional cost—could have/should have been the headline for choosing  Music, but no one knows how to take advantage of this superior sound quality!
     itself is only able to state that the signal chain must be compatible, but gives no example of equipment that has been tested and verified.

    About the Mac mini M1, my own attempt to use the HDMI port and connect it to my HIFI receiver in order to make use of  Hi-Res music ended in tears as the HDMI port is limited to 48 kHz, regardless of the number of channels 😱
    —the receiver supports up to 192 kHz in 7 channels.

    If the new  TV does not support  Hi-Res music,  has once again committed sacrilege!

  • The best iPad accessories for digital artists

    Well, I guess it’s time to buy. The only one I have is the Magic Keyboard, which is awesome—my iPad stays in it all day everyday. But, I love Procreate. Having shortcuts so convenient would be great. My real question would be how well Sketchboard Pro works—for example, is it only for desktop use or is it good for couch time? 
    Go right ahead @newisneverenough ;
    Sketchboard Pro is made for couch time! The iPad is repositioned perfect—for me, anyway—to spend countless hours reading textbooks with “no hands on the wheel”. The surface is matte (and thus with minimal distracting reflections). It’s quite big, but almost invisible! The fit is unreal (current iPad Pro) and I simply do not worry about dropping the iPad.
    And zero creaking 🙏

    I have asked the company to modify the cutout to accommodate Thunderbolt cables as only tiny usb-c cables are small enough (although I haven’t tried the  Thunderbolt 3 cable).
    The legs are fine when in horizontal, but I don’t trust the locking mechanism in portrait mode.
