Apple's 'M2' processor enters mass production for MacBook Pro
Yeah because Apple today is the same Apple of old that's almost bankrupted.maciekskontakt said:
Dream on. AMD has just came out with new processor and line of small low power computers. Apple should have really consider AMD before proprietary CPU. We know how fairytale of G3 and G4 ended 15 years ago. I still have QuickSilver home for nostalgia collectible.dk49 said:

Apple's 'M2' processor enters mass production for MacBook Pro
I had used my old MBA 2011 for 9 years as well, without any upgrade. It's just not necessary.GeorgeBMac said:For all those defending the "Everything Glued together & soldered together" assembly of the MacBooks by saying "Nobody ever upgraded a computer", Andrew just called bull!His biggest (only?) complaint about his M1 MacBook Air is that it can't meet his needs because it is frozen in time with what it came with when he bought it -- versus his MacPro which grew and developed with enhancements as his needs, wants and requirements grew.Likewise, my 9 year old i7 Thinkpad runs perfectly well and meets all of my needs -- because it's been upgraded to a 500Gb SSD, 16Gb Ram and an internal harddrive used for ongoing, real time backups. Without those cheap and very simple to install (5 minutes or less) upgrades the machine would have been scrap

Apple Fitness+ gains pregnancy workouts, older adults training, and Jane Fonda
Jane Fonda may be too liberal for my liking (and before someone asked, one could be too conservative for my liking as well) but I just couldn't care less for what she did 40-50 years ago. US fought Vietnam war for a wrong reason, and in the end Reagan beat Soviet empire anyway so who cares? -
Apple Watch summons immediate help for man who fell through ice
When I want to update my watch I take an exemption to plug it in all night and lose sleep data for that day. I simply don't try to be too smart and rely too much on the watch but that's just me. Just lose data for one night and in the morning you get an updated watch.beowulfschmidt said:
I've experienced many of the ones you've listed here, and they mostly seem (to me) to be reacting to environmental (such as the hand washing) or some biometric (as with the breathing) cues, and I can deal with those easily. However, with regard to the one I've quoted, if one turns off automatic updates, one can update whenever one wants. One will be notified when an update is available, but it won't even download it until one tells it to do so.dope_ahmine said:Totally amazing if it actually succeeds with dialing automatically …cos my AW6 is dumb as a box-o-rox. My most typical usecases with it:- And here's my absolute fav: Software is not updated (ever) on the watch, although I've carefully checked the Automatic Updates. Why? Well, I always charge my watch between about 10 and 11 each evening, and then unplug it. A user behavior which apparently is totally outside Apple's imagination, or alternatively forbidden by them. Because an Apple Watch only updates its software if its plugged in to power at the time the WatchOS decides to try updating …which btw happens exactly at 03:00 in the morning.
Not a perfect solution, but one which I've found workable. - And here's my absolute fav: Software is not updated (ever) on the watch, although I've carefully checked the Automatic Updates. Why?

This is either a lie or your Watch is malfunctioned. The Apple Watch doesn't tell you to stand at the beginning of the hours. It'll do at the end so if you *just* standing for half an hour there is no way it will tell you to stand, unless.. unless you stood very still and haven't moved your hand then the watch won't count your standing because the Stand is "stands and moves about for a minute" not standing still.dope_ahmine said:I've just sat down after standing up for half an hour, and it tells me to stand up for a minute.
