  • Hollywood studios hit by Avid shutdowns on Mac Pro [u]

    But but no one bought this ugly trashcan Mac??? How is Hollywood experiencing this problem?

    Everything points to a software update or malware but my money is on a software update. That’s why I think auto-updates to system software is risky. Safari 13 appears to have some nasty bugs right now. You would think these Hollywood studios are smart enough not to apply updates on production machines until they have been tested, Avid as well as macOS. 

    I can almost guarantee this is Avids problem. Everyone who's ran Avid software knows what complete garbage their stability is.

    They have popular bugs that haven't been fixed in years and more error codes than they know about.

  • Apple's new tvOS 13 for Apple TV is now available

    As a reminder, comments like "I don't see it yet" aren't helpful.

    We don't publish until at least one staffer sees it on a device. As you're all aware, the rollout takes some time, and is CDN and caching-dependent.

    Does anyone know what the latest roll out times are? One time my Apple TV didn't auto update for a week!

    It's interesting that an OS for your TV gets multi-user support before an iPad OS  :D

    iPad is still a more personal device whereas most Apple TVs are in a living room.

    I REALLY hope the "preview" feature can be turned off unlike Netflix.
    Me too, would def be a reason to see if I can downgrade to previous ios levels

    Why? It's unobtrusive and the sound is muted until you swipe up to watch full screen.

  • iPhone 11 Pro Max screen secures 'highest ever A+ grade' in lab testing

    But, but, but.... I thought Samsung Galaxy was da best?????

    What universe are we living in?

    Congrats to Apple for aiming for top-quality.  B)
    Why question yourself.  You were right.  Samsung Galaxy Note 10 was the best.  Displaymate just said so.  http://www.displaymate.com/Galaxy_Note10_ShootOut_1G.htm
    Relevant excerpt:  "... Galaxy Note10+ sets or matches 13 Smartphone Display Performance Records, earning DisplayMate’s highest ever A+ grade." 
    You're living in a universe where Displaymate says the Samsung Galaxy was the best... then iPhone... then Galaxy... then iPhone... then Galaxy. For a number of years Displaymate said Apple had the best LCD display, but Samsung had the best overall display.  Fast forward to Apple using Sammy panels and the Displaymate overall crown has seesawed back and forth between Apple's and Samsung's latest releases.  If history is an indicator, it's pretty much assured the crown will pass back to Samsung in the spring when they release the S11 and back to Apple in the fall when they release the 12P and 12PM.  The only mystery regarding the overall crown is whether Samsung will intro the Note before or after the iPhone.  Whichever is last to be intro'd is the one that will hold the crown until the S13... wash, rinse, repeat.

    I think what makes Apples displays better is color accuracy.

    Color accuracy for me, has been the most important factor since I got into display tech in 2004.

    Samsung will always win with "color" as people tend to be attracted to over-saturated color for some reason. Samsung has always had a way of tricking less-intelligent people with specs etc.

    Not gonna lie when I was a kid (maybe 7 years old) I used to love turning up the "color" control. Looked cooler until I understood the tech later.

    Apple claims (and they have a fair number of OLED patents), that while their screens are made by Samsung, they include Apple technology. I don’t know exactly what that means, but it’s somewhat different than Samsung’s screens they use for themselves, and presumably from those they sell to others, rather than to Apple.
    I’d guess the panel is as said Samsung made but the display processor that communicates with gpu is apple made processing unit. It handles all the color, brightness etc adjustments. 

    Samsung isn't involved in iPhone development. They just own plants that fulfill orders. That's it. Anyone else (LG, Japan Display, etc.) could do this if they were capable of fulfilling the large orders Apple demands. Right now only Samsungs plant can fulfill these large orders, They have absolutely nothing to do with iPhone development. Heck, they don't even develop Samsung displays, they just fulfill orders.

    Apple isn't a parts manufacturer so it would be stupid for them to open a manufacturing plant just to shut up iKnockoff trolls. The screens would also be 100% identical.

    Neither @nadriel ; nor @coolfactor ; were arguing that Samsung is involved in iPhone development.  No one made that argument.  It's your strawman.  And you're also wrong about LG and Japan Display being able to do it if they were capable of fulfilling large orders.  First, it's a specious argument.  "They could do it if they didn't have to do it completely.  Derp.  They can't do the 2nd most important part: Volume. So they can't do it. Second, even if they could do the volume, there's no guarantee they could deliver on the most important part: Quality.  Anecdotal evidence says that the quality part is the biggest stumbling block for both LG and JDI... well the whole thing is the problem for JDI, but that's a discussion for another time.  
    LOL.

  • Hands on with the black Hermes Apple Watch Series 5

    are the hermes watch faces what makes this apple watch version more expensive?

    No, the Hermes straps.

    I'm curious if you can spend more for a watch yet than a phone.

    Glad "Edition" is back but really wish the $10,000+ version was available. I'm guessing Apple removed the 18k gold version for environmental reasons.

    When people wonder why I liked 18k gold Edition I tell them rich people don't care what you think. It's extra money for Apple and these same rich folks will skip a $1,000 Apple Watch for a $20,000 Rolex instead, a wearable that only tells time.

    Just because I can't afford a Ferrari doesn't mean I'll protest against their sale. Rich people don't care what you think. Let them spend their money how they want.

    And those who make excuses like "But it will be obsolete in a year lol!"
    NOT TRUE. Apple will continue to support it for years and it won't suddenly explode if it can't run the latest WatchOS.

    Also Ferrari users aren't required to buy the latest model every year either.

    Considering the price of gold, the original Apple Watch is still worth close to what people paid. Now consider it rare and the first Apple Watch. It's now worth more than gold.
