  • Ultra Retina XDR OLED screens in iPad Pro are just the latest evolution of Apple's flagshi...

    Nano texture is going to be a no for me even though I’ll use it in bright settings. 

    While technically it helps minimize reflections, it just looks poor compared to a regular surface. Mac retina screens really pop. Nano texture really degrades that very noticeably. The few folks I know who opted for nano texture were disappointed, opting to exchange, sell. Be sure you see one in person before paying an extra 100 on something you’d wish you didn’t have. It’s not a small difference. It’s a big deal.

  • New iPad Pro rumored to debut with M4 chip

    9secondkox29secondkox2
    The only way this makes sense is if the Mac Studio or a returning large iMac gets an m4 ultra this year. The Mac Pro with m4 “extreme, Super, hyper” etc. to arrive either this year or next. 

    Otherwise id expect an m3. 

    But with a “rumor” this bold, there just might be merit. We know the original 3nm process had yield issues and isn’t as efficient as could be. The updated process is better all the way around. Makes sense to move to it asap. Also, with the designs being different, makes sense to go ahead with m4 a bit “early.” 

    Ex opted for the possibilities.

  • California man uses AirTag to confront thief who stole his BMW

    They warn about the criminals having guns, but try to take ours away so that the criminals h ave the upper hand…

    if someone steals your stuff, squats in your house, etc. you should be able to take it right back, boot the trespassers, etc. 

    airtags help enable people to do something about criminal activity directly affecting them.

  • House passes bill saying ByteDance must sell or spin off TikTok or face a ban

    9secondkox29secondkox2
    Tik tok is basically heavily invasive spyware on behalf of China. 

    It literally crawls your entire device and sends the data back home. 

    Yikes. 

    Good that it is either banned or sold to someone who must comply with consumer protections.

  • Fear of Nintendo's wrath is keeping emulators off of the App Store

    9secondkox29secondkox2
    Nintendo has a right to not allowing their IP to be pirated. 

    If Nintendo doesn’t want their old games available, that’s literally their prerogative, as much as it’s annoying for enthusiasts. Maybe they want to bring them to the future in a quality way. Maybe they want pent up nostalgia to produce demand for a new game based on old ip. Whatever it is, even if it’s just “we don’t want them available,” they have that perogative and the right to not be pushed around because someone wants something. 

    Next, we will have the EU force Nintendo to allow others to profit from their hard work, with the DOJ to follow. Heck, they’ll probably make Nintendo host the pirated files on their servers.
