  • M1X Mac mini will be thinner, use iMac's magnetic power connector says leaker

    I was wondering, how data transmission would be resolved in rounded connector? There must be several pins for the data, it’s not just an overgrown jack. Would these be circles? Or is this connector rounded - yet certain orientation required? (remember ADB..)

    Bless you Apple, bless you Craig, for this way of thinking, keeping Mac free like a car!

    I love the Mac.

  • Apple launches new 'Careers at Apple' webpage with refreshed design

    Apples recruitment is like “We are looking for people like you. Join us”.. however, after filling up all the required personal info, and welcome letter attachment, if you don’t fit in any, for any reason (I guess it’s me being just white hetero guy with traditional family profile) they just wont react with a single word, nothing, keeping silent. I view this most arogant approach.

  • Theoretically, you can upgrade RAM & SSD on your M1 Mac mini, but you shouldn't

    How can they change the RAM or Memory? Isn't it integrated in the SOC at circuit level? It's like saying you can take out four cores from the M1 to make it a quad core processor!
    Anything to get views and clicks. I just happen to know a tiny bit about this kind of surgery. The kind of equipment you need to unsolder these components is very expensive and requires extreme skill to pull it off. You just don’t pull out your 10 watt pencil iron from the local hardware store and have at it. Anyone who tries this will certainly wind up with a pile of useless junk on their hands. 

    Hot air rework table, pick&place precision machine, smart pencil iron and you’re good to go. I’ve been doing this for some time and it’s much more suceessful than fifty-fifty. I would be more concerned about SMC controller setup.. whether it’s able to use it up without editing prams (how this can be done since T2 anyway?)

  • Siri gets two new voices, user choice at setup in iOS 14.5

    tobiantobian
    I’ve always been pouring hot water when it comes to Siri, but just recently, I found myself in serious need of voice-controlled assistant service for my new job.. so,trying Siri in many new ways.. and so my disappointment grows. Siri is terrible in my opinion. Looking backward to Apple keynotes, Siri is able to interact usefuly only in few areas Apple prescripted and showed off.
    What is Siri good at, is making various pardons when I’m annoyed by it’s primitivity.
