Apple's Metal 3 key to 'No Man's Sky' and 'Resident Evil: Villages' coming to Mac
It got them 3/4 of the way to Apple Music above and beyond hardware.mpantone said:
Shareholders don't want Apple to spend $1B for $360M in revenue. That's a net $640M loss and that doesn't fit in with Apple's expected gross margins. Hell, Apple could make more money shoveling that cash into 10 Year Treasuries.macxpress said:
Not sure what you mean by this comment?mpantone said:Shareholders will be pissed.
I'm not convinced that Apple's acquisition of Beats was a good purchase.
Anyhow the future of gaming is the cloud. This isn't some pie-in-the-sky theory.
You can play Fortnite on your Mac or iPad today with GeForce NOW.

iPhone & AirPods will require USB-C for charging in the EU by late 2024
I've got Apple documentation that says that they did, and that is my recollection based on briefs that I gave way back then, but it was a long time ago.xbit said:
It was available to purchase but it was never included in the box.
30-pin to micro USB. It wasn't forever, though.
The EU's new rules are a win for Apple. They can move to USB-C (something I'm sure was already in the works) and have a scapegoat to blame when people inevitably complain.
I'll look into further it a bit later in the day.

Yes, they did.crowley said:
No they didn't.AppleInsider said:
When micro-USB was required, Apple got around the requirement by including an adapter in every iPhone box.

2013 iMac dying. Can I remove the Fusion drive and re-use them as two separate USB drives for backup
charlesatlas said:Are you sure, Mike? Everything I've read says a Fusion drive is not an off-the-shelf hybrid drive but rather Apple's own implementation using a separate blade SSD and a hard drive. Mac OS combines it into a single volume, but it is actually two discrete devices.
In every Fusion drive equipped mini and iMac I have taken apart, it is a single drive. It's basically one of these: https://www.newegg.com/seagate-firecuda-st2000dx002-2tb-mlc/p/N82E16822178996
Edit: after a quick phone call, there are some iMacs, in some runs, that have two discrete drives. TIL. Most are still single drives.

The fusion drive isn't two discrete drives. It's a single 3.5-inch drive, that itself can be put in an enclosure and used.mdoss said:2013 27" iMac running Catalina - cannot install any newer OS versions.The iMac is showing signs of dying.I was wondering if I could remove the Fusion drive, and re-use them as normal USB drives, just for backups and to store some media files or documents etc.I have no intention of using it as a single fusion drive or to boot from it as a fusion drive or anything like that, I merely want to use them as I use my other USB externals - maybe plug the into a USB dock and use just to access some files.Is this even possible?Googling providfes no answers - all results talk about using it as a Fusion drive itself or about recovering data from them etc.Thanks and cheers
