  • Apple hints at new Apple Silicon Mac Pro during its latest keynote

    ... I'd be curious to see if the M1 iMacs will become available in a ~27" version.  The AIO concept is still attractive for a lot of general needs, so maybe a larger monitor iMac version with the same CPU/RAM options as the 24" will show up in the near future...
    I hope so... I'm the target audience for that machine.  I like (but want to upgrade) my current iMac... but do NOT want to go to a smaller screen.
    I'd happily pay a bit more for an iMac, rather than cobbling together a third party screen with a MacMini... it just looks nicer on the desk.

  • 'Apple Car' needs Machine Learning to make driving decisions fast enough

    When a car is able to successfully navigate the Elephant and Castle Roundabout in London, at night, during rush hour, in December, in the rain, then it shall be deemed safe.
    Why set the bar there? ... we already let humans attempt that... and they're obviously not 100% capable of it.
    I suppose the question becomes: "just how often does it need to do this successfully?... what error rate are we willing to accept?" I would think that as long as it's a single tic better than the human rate, then it should be allowed on the roads. (Else, we should quit letting humans drive as well.)

    Kudos on everything but the auto playing video.  I can’t think of a more frustrating user experience than that.  
    That's a personal problem ... you need to change a setting on YOUR computer... in your browser prefs.  It's not Appleinsider's issue to deal with.

  • Flying with iPad mini: A pilot's review

    It would also be nice to hear the view of an actual 767/777's pilot.

    We also use iPads (supplied by the airline) ... use them for maps/charts, for weather information, for all manuals. It replaces about 40 pounds of paper that we used to carry with us all the time.

  • 'When I leave home' started triggering regularly whilst I’m at home

    I don't use this stuff... so I've never looked into how they work... but...
    What causes the system to know that you've left or arrived?... does it do this via GPS information?... or does it just detect whether you're on your home WiFi or off your home WiFi network?  (If the latter, it could possibly be traced to the stability of your WiFi system and your phone staying connected.)

    You asked for "any thoughts" :smiley: ... that's one that I had.
