  • It's time to drop apps that don't support Apple Silicon natively

    There isn’t always a alternative! We use Broadcast cameras from Sony. These cameras use SXS Cards as memory card. Sony doesn’t support with their device driver Apple Silicon. It’s impossible to ingest content to M1 Macs 🤨
    Can you not just use a SXS card reader?

    I can see that SJ's and JI's legacy is being compromised by such popularist sentiments and perhaps why JI was ejected.
    Was JI ejected or were his form-over-function designs rejected and he quit?

    Everyone has their time and place - no matter how good you are there will always be a time when you should move on (death, resign or fired) Your achievements should not be devalued (or worshiped) but often are.

    Apple says this supports up to 96kHz, and means users "can enjoy high-fidelity, full-resolution audio."

    —except ’s own Hi-Res Lossless in 192 kHz 👀🤭
    Soooo???? You're saying they therefore shouldn't have improved it all then?

    Probably that you can't call something 'full resolution' if you yourself deliver a much higher resolution. 
    The average human can detect sound in the 20Hz to 20 kHZ.  96kHz is way outside the range of human hearing.
    96kHz is not upper frequency response - it is the encoding bite rate - higher = better resolution but 192kHz is more than necessary to do the job but that's audiophiles for you

  • Apple execs excited about M1 Max MacBook Pro video editing capabilities

    approx said:
    Yes that’s great. But it is still not possible to import Video from Sony SXS Cards. SXS Cards are used in Sony and Arri Broadcast and Cinema cameras

    We are waiting since one year to get a updated device driver for SXS Cards. 

    Without this updated driver, the super fast M1 MacBook Pro is useless for our job. Ingesting Footage is impossible. 

    So sad!


    It appears you are a professional, so no doubt you’re used to having a lot of specialist equipment - it’s unlikely you are going to find all you need in a consumer product without having some extra gear, even if it has the label Pro or Max - so sad!

  • Google and Facebook teamed up to beat Apple's consumer privacy agenda

    AppleInsider publishes an article damning Google and Facebook of trying to circumvent Apple. While at the same time, Apple has successfully blocked 25 trackers (here on this article)  from profiling me. Lol, the irony.

    If you want to be tracked and profiled it’s within your powers to allow it LoL, the irony 😃
