    So, the same version of the same app isn't a problem on earlier iPhones or iOS versions.

    But it's somehow that app's fault?

    Nope.  This is on Apple.
    The problem is specific to Instagram.  What to you think is the logical cause? 

    Apple does note code their app for them.  If there was an issue, Meta should have found it in the months iOS 17 was in Beta  


    Just having the stock Camera app open and using it for a longer time overheats the phone as well.

    Same mistakes as with the 4G modem.

    The nonsense american workers have to go through to get some basic worker protection is astounding.

  • Apple's Mac mini has outlasted Intel's NUC

    The Intel NUC hasn't died.   Like the IBM PC, it has been coopted by legions of OEMs offering original NUC sized compute units for $200-500.   
    $270 got me a hex core AMD with 2.5gb ethernet, 16gbs, and a win 11 license to toss as I please.  Smaller than the Mac Mini of today, and in the same ballpark on power.  Takes an M2 and a 2.5" drive.  

    They won't have the GPU, but that's not what they're used for.   
    If they are in the ballpark on power usage of the Mac mini then their performance has to be awful in comparison if they are x86.
    Well, it's not. The Intel vPro ones handily beat out the M1 for example, and the new ones are about the same as the M2, except hey use more power on max perf. These NUC's are great for installations, video displays, home control systems, etc. They run a ton of apps that have no equivalent on MacOSX, so depending on use-case these are still very good computers.

  • Apple's Windows Game Porting Toolkit gets faster with new update

    michelb76michelb76
    The only way this will ever work is if the majority of mac users will buy the ports that are coming out now. So go buy Resident Evil and Death Stranding, whether you like them or not. It's a chicken and egg situation. We soon may have a great toolkit for developers, but it's worthless without a market. It's either that, or keep using Crossover and hope for the best.
