  • Moment SuperCage review: The ultimate iPhone filmmaking accessory

    Quite a contrast in style between you Andrew and how a Chip talks through aspects of a topic. I guess it’s a different audience, but you had so much jargon in there. It’s quite a topic and specialised area. I guess if you are already in the know, it all makes sense.  But as an outsider, I was left floundering with all the terms (I thought you yanks weren’t into NATO these days 🤔). 

    Still, thanks for the read…
    Maybe the British vs NA audience part? I'm American-adian, haven't done any videography outside of iPhone, and only used a basic DSLR in the past. I understood all the terms. It's the first time I'd heard of NATO mounting used outside firearms but I'm guessing it's a universal thing like MOLLE. 

    I hate when retailers don't use Amazon. My amazon cart is basically my wish list.

  • Apple shifts robotics team away from Giannandrea's AI organization to prioritize hardware

    ^Good analysis. It seems a lot of those protjects are also about extracting every penny out of the existing product lines, which is Tim Cook's supply chain specialty. But it's been a while since Apple has had a compelling new product launch. Vision could be one day, but it's not remotely as promising as other first gen efforts. 

    Tim Cook is either the most understanding boss, or Gianndrea has something on him. Siri has been terrible for years. Apple tries not to lay employees off, but someone failing at this level deserves to go. I'm sure he won't be hurting in retirement or at his next role.

  • Apple to restore mask requirement at Apple Stores

    No, it’s a PITA that we had every opportunity to be done with this pandemic and a bunch of selfish idiots managed to mess it up 
    Yeah, and that won't change until they face consequences.

    It takes 2 seconds to put the mask on. How is it "such a PITA"?
    It’s not necessary if you’re vaccinated. 
    Not according to the posted story. It says vaccinated people will be forced to also.

    The correct decision. Or they could ask to see your Covid vaccination certificate in your Apple wallet with no need to wear a mask in the store.
    I'd be down for this. This way the anti-vaxxers will face consequences and the rest of us have a choice.

    Back to not going into stores unless I have to. Was nice going to the new Apple Store in my city (was last there for iPhone 12 launch and it was akin to a toll booth setup). Won't be back until they can let me in without a mask. Was vaccinated in Feb and the only ones being inconvenienced are the responsible ones, all so spineless politicians don't have to anger the irresponsible ones by making them face consequences (apart from fear of death since that obviously doesn't work on them).

  • 2018 iPad now for sale at Apple store, in-store pickup available at most locations in US

    Much hay has been made of the higher refresh rate on the iPP being important for smoothness when using Pencil. I'm wondering if it feels a lot less smooth on this iPad. I barely use my budget iPad from last year, which is my first one. I wanted Pencil features, but not willing to pay for iPP for the amount I'd use it. I'd pretty much solely use it for digitizing my bullet journal without having to scan pages from a dead-tree Moleskine. I'd consider trading in my "old" iPad for this, if it's not much worse than iPP.
