  • Apple tops 'most admired companies' list for 15th year in a row

    Facebook—what about Facebook?
    Obviously an error that Mark Z’s META company wasn’t mentioned, right?




    oh, well—I overlooked the restricting qualifier: admired companies  ;)

    If that bothers you, hit the road and don’t look back. Or you can press the issue and get fired. But again, making a big public stink about it isn’t going to move the needle either way, and certainly not in your favor. Like is too short. Time to move on.

    Well, I am deeply grateful for Martin Luther King and the countless brave souls like him that everyday stands up and speaks their minds—challenging the status quo 🙏🏽

    —without them, development; change; optimism wouldn’t exist. Neither would individuality!

  • OWC Thunderbolt Hub review: Three Thunderbolt ports from one host connector

    with two sandisk ssd's plugged into the two tb ports on the m1 mini and using striped raid, i get approx 1500mb/s throughput. when i use the owc dock this drops to approx 1000mb/s. a single standalone ssd which clocks at about 750mb/s when plugged into the mini drops to about 550mb/s. owc basically blew me off after i sent them reams of test data and tried everything they suggested by saying the problem was the monterey os. first bad experience i've ever had with owc and now i'm stuck with a boat anchor. /guy
    Mac mini M1 misbehaves in certain scenarios: Without a monitor connected directly to the mini’s Thunderbolt port, throughput to external devices via Thunderbolt is limited—just as you describe it.
    I’ve read about this problem on OWC’s blog: The Rocket Yard.

  • Compared: M1 Max 16-inch MacBook Pro versus Mac Pro

    No analysis of these bleeding edge personal computers is complete without some hard numbers regarding holes.

    I estimate about 150 holes - each slightly larger than a dime - drilled into the front face of the Mac Pro. These holes are deceiving, though. The holes don’t penetrate all the way through the face; the grill is instead met by a slightly lower number of holes drilled into the back. Let’s split the difference and say that the Mac Pro has about 130 high performance holes.

    The MacBook Pro takes a radically different posture of an estimated 3000 holes per side for a rough total of six to seven thousand low performance holes. (That’s just an eyeball estimate, I’m looking forward to actual geekbench numbers.) 

    So the question for the eventual Apple Silicon desktop pro is, are we all in on tiny holes, or does the future hold a hybrid of fewer high performance holes mated with an array of low performance holes? Will the M2 MacBook Pro perhaps have one or two high performance holes, and will that necessitate an expansion of the notch? Only time and Ming Chi Kuo will tell.
    Exactly 🙃

    —the future is exciting and very promising (if you dare to be optimistic) 🖖🏼
    And who is to say the Notch is permanent—it might be engulfed by a low yield, nominal hole?

    Let us all hope that Apple will sell ARM motherboards that will fit into the 2019 Mac Pro, along with driver support for at least the 1st party  dGPU modules, HDD modules, Afterburner modules, etc. They will hopefully sell 1st party 64 and 128 GPU core MPX modules too, for all the customers who just need more GPU compute.

    If the rumored half sized Apple Silicon Mac Pro starts at $2000, a full sized Mac Pro (2019 model) starts at $5000, and a Mac mini starts at $700, Apple will have a full headless desktop lineup spanning all the price tiers since 2006, just before the PPC to Intel transition. Even more so than back then even. That "half size Mac Pro" has to hit $2000 though.
    Hope away. Not gonna happen. Sell Apple Silicon mother boards that the user can swap out in the current Intel Mac Pro? Hilarious. Ridiculous.
    Yeah!
    Because development of the current Intel-based Mac Pro and Apple Silicon took place simultaneously…
    And, erh…, none of ’s executives have reflected on how to prioritize and manage company resources…, sure!
    Inside , the question: “what are we going to do with all the Mac Pro tooling and our dedicated assembly facility in Texas, following the transition to AS?”, just doesn’t exist!

    —the software department at  obviously didn’t get your insightful memo, because they managed to execute a near faultless transition to AS. Their buddies over at the External Monitor building did something similar: the XDR display is compatible with both Intel-based and AS-based hardware—most unexpected, right?!

    All this might seem complicated and unnecessary. We call it: Thinking, a subset of which is termed: Long-term planning. If you don’t like it, please return to FOX News.
