  • Unreal Engine 5 revealed for iOS and Mac, coming in 2021

    Unreal Engine 5 on iOS?!

    There's no excuse for the new Apple TV to not have half-decent games.

  • Apple releases 'major' update to Logic Pro X

    BeatsBeats
    GREAT!!! Apple keeps coming with the FREE hits!! Thankfully I switched from PT years ago and haven't missed it.

    EXS24 was HIDEOUS. I don't use it because it's an eyesore (a leftover design from eMagic?)

    Oh finally a new GUI for EXS24? Cool. But...

    As predicted: Apple dropped Sierra and High Sierra support for Logic. I’m sort of surprised they didn’t also drop Mojave support.

    None of my Macs support Mojave. They are already hacked to run unsupported High Sierra and can’t go further to Mojave.

    Sigh.

    Then there’s the remote app, with no support for iOS 12, which I’m still on because iOS 13 is reportedly sluggish on iPhone 6s and iPad Pro first generation.

    Sigh.

    The push to buy new hardware continues... and I’m poor as dirt.

    Even if I weren’t poor, Apple don’t give a damn about me being a customer unless I’m also wealthy. Buy a new phone every three years to be safe. Buy a new Mac every six years or less.

    No!

    I’ve been saving tax rebates to buy a new Mac Pro to replace both my old Macs and my old PC, and then Apple went and changed the introductory price of the Mac Pro to frelling $6000, twice what it used to start at, and all non-plutocrats who can’t afford an overkill machine are expected to keep using storage & RAM-unupgradable & thermally deficient all-in-one laptops, iMacs, or similarly stupidly compact & unupgradable Mac Mini (while also suffering whatever display incompatibilities there are with third party displays because Apple only makes a $5000 display now).

    Apple won me over in 2008. In 2013, that Apple ceased to be. I still hate Windows and PCs more, but WTF am I supposed to do? Just keep buying thermally-insufficient, high-cost second-hand machines that last a shorter time due to the constant upgrade cycle push via an expiring ecosystem?

    Having a fully-operational Apple device ecosystem is impossible for longer than a couple years. For example: if I upgrade to iOS 13, iCloud Safari sync will break for me because I can’t uograde to Mojave on my Macs.

    This is shit. I don’t know where else I can go because I DESPISE Windows and PCs. Dog damn you, Apple.


    Of all articles where you could have bashed "greedy Apple" you chose a Logic upgrade one?!!!

    You realize Logic is the most generous product Apple has given us??? Yesterday for fun I looked up Pro Tools. Still a monthly fee or $600 for the program. Comes bare bones. Logic comes with over $1,000 of plugins and FREE updates!! Who the hell gives free updates? I just paid $130 for my Reason bare-bones update.

    And yeah I wish my NES console can play Switch games and mu Sony Walkman can play my iTunes library.

  • Apple's take of gaming market suffers due to COVID-19

    No, Apple loses because Arcade sucks. Can't blame the pandemic when everyone is forced to stay home and play video games all day.

    "All-new" design sounds intriguing.  I wonder if the cups will be independent, and attach to your ears/head in an unusual way.

    I hope they give some attention to on-device controls.  The Airpods are terrible, the Airpods Pro are just about adequate, and if they start dicking around with touch like the Siri Remote then I doubt I'd get much joy out of them.
    Here is where they might go if there is no headband:



    No wonder you hate Apple. You watch emotion-based videos from a troll who gets paid to trash Apple.

    This is the same guy who hypocritically called Rubik's Cube copycats "knockoffs" but argues that iPhone may not be the most successful product in history because Androids took some of it's sales. These trolls refuse to acknowledge that Apple knockoffs are knockoffs but then remove that logic outside of Apple.

    I wish they'd develop real studio headphones not just by name.
