M2 Pro, M2 Max MacBook Pro models could arrive by the fall
Fred257 said:I’m not getting near any M2 anything. The reviews I have seen show absolutely no consistency in both the CPU and GPU reviews. As a matter of fact I think it’s the worst Apple architecture we will see. Apple, fix your stupid mistakes!! Only one NAND chip on the lower end models is a complete design flaw and ultra cheap on your part. The GPU being slower on the 10 core then the 8 is inexcusable!! Stop and improve these mistakes please. And for Apple fanboys here who complain about me I’ve used Macs since 1989 making music on Cubase before many of you were in your mothers womb

Periscope lens coming for iPhone 15 Pro
freediverx said:rob53 said:So, Samsung owns patents on a camera system and our stupid USPTO and corrupt courts in Texas will keep other companies from creating a similar camera system, something that was designed a couple centuries ago. I wouldn't call it a periscope lens module, I'd simply call it a miniature telephoto lens, something that every camera maker has built.
“Faced with this issue, Apple will either have to change its entire design to avoid using the patented technology or will have to pay Samsung a fee to license the rights to the patent. Both are of course options for the tech giant, but it is likely not a choice the company was expecting to have to make.”

Jony Ive is no longer consulting for Apple
sflocal said:darkvader said:GOOD!His early stuff wasn't awful. Everything he's touched for the last 15+ years has been.Keep doing your revisionist stuff. Maybe someday someone will believe you.The fundamental design of many of his products are great. However, there are countless examples where he let function follow form. He had an obsession with symmetry for example which led to the removal of important ports. Thankfully, some of this has been reversed in recent products. Then, there was the butterfly keyboard with his obsession for thinness, etc. Seriously, Jony deserves equal amounts of praise and criticism. If you can’t objectively see his obvious faults then you’re not being honest with yourself. -

EU plans to require backdoor to encrypted messages for child protection
This comment makes no sense as Apple's solution would NOT have provided a backdoor to end-to-end encryption.Notably, the UK government backed Apple's plans, albeit after Apple had withdrawn them, and chiefly as part of its own wish to get backdoors into end-to-end encryption.
That will fail. You can't ban math. There will be work-arounds and I'm sure this would be fought legally. Unfortunately, you have technically illiterate beurocrats pushing for solutions they don't fully understand.The plan appears to propose that end-to-end encryption be broken by messaging service providers, in order to scan messages for CSAM.
