  • Apple releases macOS 11.2.2 to prevent certain USB-C hubs and docks from damaging some Mac...

    VermelhoVermelho
    My son's 2019 13" MacBook pro, blew out it's USB-C ports completely while hot plugging some audio devices through a cheap USB-C multifunction hub (USB-3, SD cards, HDMI).  It still had battery life, but wouldn't accept a charge through them either.
    We took it to the apple store, which was able to confirm the issue, and it was repaired and FedEx express shipped 3 days later. 
    Apple Care. I think it was just over a year old.

  • Everything new in iOS 14.5: Mask unlock, ATT, new controller support, more

    Did you miss the Apple watch part of this? My watch has been seamlessly unlocking my iMac and MacBook Pro for a few years. It’s overdue with the mask situation and phones. It’s optional, only used with mask detected here, you are always notified via haptics, and it can be easily disengaged.
    GREAT!

    regular pictures are fine in low light situations. Pano and video, though, are a no-go, which I find so odd.
    You should read how apple managed to get that lowlight performance to understand. I don’t think the 8 has the incredible performance of the 11 I have, but that matches my dslr with a 2.8 lens handheld.
    It’s fascinating actually. Taking a still in the dark entails dozens of images in a burst which are analyzed for blur and combined with AI.
    Obviously, this multi-image can’t be used for video or pano.  They manage to build the advantages of a longer exposure aided by stabilization and these tricks to avoid blur.

  • New iPad Pro ad spot shows off Magic Keyboard

    Love it. Can I afford it for my needs? no. My 1st gen iPad pro 10.5 (with apple back and keyboard cover) will have to hold me for a while, and as much as I love this, it won't replace my power laptop needs - editing long form video on the fly, managing a library of raw DSLR photos, stashing lots of data for use sans internet.... Running a fast multifunction hub, with fast mini SSD storage could tempt me in a year or so.

  • Apple planning on releasing 23-inch iMac, 11-inch iPad Air in 2020

    VermelhoVermelho
    Yes! ^^^^ The 21.5 iMac was the budget option, but 23" with a refreshed frame is a great move. Work out the kinks, and bring on the 30" iMac i9 at affordable artist prices asap after working ut the kinks on the budget upgrade.
