  • New Mac Pro may not support PCI-E GPUs

    Apple Silicon is designed as fixed bundles of CPU, GPU, ML, and RAM. It doesn't play well the modularity that has been with us since Mac II. And why buy fixed performance when you can scale using the cloud? Workstations made sense 30 years ago with SGI, NeXT, and Sun Microsystems. Apple should make a partnership with AWS (or make a Mac cloud), improve the dull non-design of Studio, and kill the Pro.
    Cool concept for cloud computing. The down side if internet connection is down, the computer is down. Centralized workstation makes sense if everyone is back at the office and work. Post pandemic changes all that.

    So much for modular design and now back to square one. This is going to be Mac trash can, the 2013 Mac Pro, all over again. Oh brother.

  • AirTags catch United Airlines in lie about missing luggage

    ravnorodomravnorodom
    I think in the future airline should offer their own AirTag to customer for a $2 per luggage and per one-way trip rental. The tracking system will be integrated with their system. Customer just download their airline app and track it from there.

    I also have a gripe which should be a third "pain point" in this article.  Issue is with people who bought first gen carplay vehicles when the technology was introduced.  I have a Honda Accord 2016 and carplay was fine for the first few years.... My car has had ZERO software updates from Honda.  I've been through a few iPhones and several iOS updates since owning the car.  In the last 3-4 years I've had nothing but problems.  Android OS crashes, carplay freezing, carplay disconnecting, etc.  I've opened cases with Honda (while under warranty), and the issues can't be duplicated at the dealership.  I've provided screenshots and videos from my experience.  Honda blames Apple, Apple blames Honda.  There are literally hundreds of forum posts about this and in the end, the customer loses out.  Overall, its been a very underwhelming experience.  Sometimes when carplay freezes it messes up my entire infotainment system.  I have to pull over and turn off car and turn back on. 

    I know this is a huge PTA, and something that Apple/Honda should be fixing. I understand that and completely sympathize.
    But TBH as a former IT Tech the fact that you have to fix the issue by “turning it off and turning it back on again”, I find rather amusing. 

    Yes... I am a current IT Network Engineer and find it amusing that you cannot reboot the operating system while car is on (even in park for example).  It could happen again shortly after the reboot.  Carplay has been beyond a frustrating experience. 
    I used to have Mazda CX5 SUV and when the navigation going nuts (like freeze, blank screen or partial green screen), I had to park somewhere, shut off the engine and restart in order to reboot infotainment. My current car is Mercedes GLC300 and sometimes when the navigation freezes, it reboots itself after 5 min without parking car and shutting off engine. I wonders if the rest of modern cars work the same way.

  • Apple TV app rumored to hit Android smartphones soon

    Next move, Apple, please, increase iCloud storage to 4TB without subscribing to Apple One. I don't play game that often.
