  • MacBook Air 15-inch with 'M2-like' chip in testing behind closed doors at Apple

    Rogue01Rogue01
    The Air is supposed to be small and light weight.  That was the entire purpose of the Air.  A 15" MacBook would be a MacBook, not a MacBook Air.  It would also have an M2 and not have any Pro features because they don't want it to impact any MacBook Pro sales.  And as all know with the Mac mini, the new MacBook (Air) 15" will have upgrade pricing that puts it at the same price or more for the 14" and 16" MacBook Pros, pushing people to buy those models anyway.  Same role as the iPhone 14.

    There is no way most users are going to notice an SSD speed of 3GB vs 5GB.  Anything one copies from external media is not going to approach those speeds.  I routinely import 50-100GB from microSD cards (captured drone video).  I have an M1 Pro 14", and it's more than enough.  As for power, I work with iMovie extensively for prosumer video editing.  It blows the doors off my 2015 MBP and doesn't slow me down.  My point is I'm a prosumer/semi-pro user and even last generation machine is more than enough.  If you want bleeding edge, that's fine, but get out your wallet.  
    They will definitely notice it.  Combined with the small amount of RAM with the small SSD configuration, continuous read/write paging of memory to the SSD will have a big impact on performance.  It is not about copying files.  Also, you have the M1 Pro version, so your MacBook Pro doesn't have the crippled SSD.  So of course you are not affected by it.  The last generation is great.  The M2 with the slow SSD runs slower than the prior generation.  That is the problem, and a cheap shot for Apple to pull that stunt on every M2 Mac.

  • If you're a Tesla owner, employees might be sharing your camera recordings

    Hiding? Like, in the Frunk?

    Seriously, thought - that's pretty messed up. They've probably watched footage from the interior camera (or perhaps that isn't streamed/saved).
    Here is the correct information from another news source:
    One crash video in 2021 showed a Tesla driving at high speed in a residential area hitting a child riding a bike, according to another ex-employee. The child flew in one direction, the bike in another. The video spread around a Tesla office in San Mateo, California, via private one-on-one chats, “like wildfire,” the ex-employee said.

  • Apple users race to replace their iPhones more quickly than an iPad or Mac

    Rogue01Rogue01
    A phone in general is more vital for communication than a tablet or computer.  So it would be obvious that a phone would be immediately replaced if lost or broken, especially for work purposes.

  • Apple researching how to make an iPad enclosure out of glass

    Rogue01Rogue01
    An all glass iPad would be like Samuel L. Jackson's character in Unbreakable.  The slightest touch would cause it to shatter.

    iPad Pro 11-inch fell off the bed once with hard flooring, only like 3 feet off the ground, and it hit just right and shattered the entire front glass.  It was in Apple's flimsy cover.  AppleCare replaced it of course, but now it lives in an Otterbox Defender case and has fallen few more times, but no more damage since it is much better protected.  A glass iPad would be a joke.  The slightest impact would shatter the entire thing.
