  • Apple sources 20M face masks, designs and ships face shields for medical workers

    seanismorrisseanismorris
    Good job, and keep going.

    My amateur projections saying the number of infected will quadruple over the next 2 week (in the USA).  Worldwide I don’t have a clue... most of South America, Africa, and Asia (outside of China) is relatively untouched.  If our medical system is already strained... there’s going to be bodies piling up in the streets elsewhere.

    I really hope I’m wrong.

    I can see a lot of acquisitions by the big tech companies given the economic environment. Better than buybacks.

    Especially when buybacks are banned during this period to anyone seeking government assistance.
    True. But... Apple isn’t seeking government assistance. 
    This is where Apple’s cash reserves come into play. Critics here are always demanding Apple do something with all that cash. Buy this, buy that, return it to investors, whatever. Apple has no need to petition the government for a bailout.

    If you’re flush with cash (like Apple) the time to be acquisitive.  NextVR looks like a smart buy.

  • Review: Hogtalare Hi-Fi Wireless Bluetooth Speaker offers incredible performance but comes...

    seanismorrisseanismorris
    Correct me I’m wrong, but this Hogtalare is basically a stand alone speaker.

    If that’s the buyers interest, why not buy a HomePod and get the additional features?

    If the intention is to put together a audio system     Klipsch seems offer a lot more (Dolby Atmos).

  • Compared: 2020 MacBook Air i3 versus MacBook Air i7

    The i5 is almost always the sweet spot, but we’ll see when they get one in stock.

    My only observation in the i3/i7 comparison is no one is going to equip the i7 with only 8GB of RAM.

    I am curious about the graphics performance of the i3 vs the i7 (or i5).  Usually it’s pretty substantial...
    Yes, I want to know about the graphics performance, and also these MacBooks vs. the Mac Mini.  I am trying to decide right now between hooking an external monitor to a Mac Mini or a MacBook Air, or possibly sticking with an iMac.

    The multicore performance is slightly baffling.  In single core, the i3 here bests the 8th Gen i3 and i5 in the Mini and iMac, and even approaches their i7s.  But multicore is a different story, where this i7 barely beats the old i3 (3500 vs 3200-3300).
    I don’t have the speed tests in front of me, but I’m guessing you’re comparing the i7 in the new MacBook Air vs. the i3 in the Mini.  The Mini is probably a desktop processor running at a much higher clock speed.  The desktop i3 that your referring to might also be quad core, just like the mobile i7.
