Teardown of Apple's new & long Thunderbolt 4 Pro Cable highlights why it's so expensive
The most scary sentence in that whole article " for creatives working with large amounts of data, ChargerLAB states it may be the best option currently available."
Why is that an acceptable outcome?
When I buy a cable that is supposed to allow for Thunderbolt 4, it should follow the specifications and deliver the expected throughput. If not it's mis-labelled and essentially fraud. We need to stop accepting faulty cables and sue the fraudsters.

Apple pulls the plug on macOS Server
Let's face it. Apple is the iPhone company nowadays. The Mac is just a small sidebusiness. No matter where you look the focus is not on the Mac. It's more of an afterthought that gets the droppings from the i-Devices (CPU, UI paradigma etc). And once leading SW like FinalCut, Safari etc. is just not pushed forward.DavidEsrati said:I guess there is no "Server" for the rest of us.When they stripped out features- my small business which depended on it's features was thrown into a mess of problems-much like when our last Airport Extreme bit the dust.Gone was our easy internal messenger-gone was our internal wiki and dns setups.
Our file sharing permissions started going wonky.
Our centralized Time machine died-and - all of a sudden first we have to try the VPP system of software licenses- then the even more complicated Apple business manager- which wasn't set up for business at all- but for schools.
The whole concept of Apple ID- for a shop with multiple computers- owned by a company- and assigned to employees- got super complicated-
and it was super frustrating.
Now- we have a raspberry pi running our DNS and our Wiki
we're constantly having our apple messages go to personal phones instead of computers-time machine- may or may not work with the remote drives- and stops frequently.
File sharing permissions get garbled more and more-
And in a day when collaboration is all the rage-
we're using fontbase to manage fonts-
and a bunch of other programs that are halfassed collaboration tools- that should be where Apple is scoring big time.I wonder if anyone at Apple remembers when Apple was a small business?
Because they sure don't act like they care about mine.
Bring back Apple server. Please. Please. With all of it's ease of use capabilities.

Apple pulls the plug on macOS Server
I started my career after university doing Enterprise support for WebObjects and Mac OS X Server now both of them are dead products and I can actually retire from the AAPL gains from my company stock savings plan of the early (pre-iPhone) 00s. How fitting. -
Studio Display includes as much storage as iPad, iPhone 11
No Bluetooth, no Network, the USB ports are routed to the connected machine (instead of used by the built-in iPhone), so no/small chance I would guess. Unless it gets jailbroken (which admittedly sound like an interesting proposition here).AirPlayBlue said:What are the chances that it will have airplay built in? -
Apple supplier Luxshare wants to build new plants for wearables & electric cars
But Foxconn is a Chinese company. They currentlu belong to the Republic of China with their headquarter near Taipei. Although almost no country in the world (including the US) is recognizing the Republic of China and are only recognizing the People's Republic of China as the one China. It's pretty much Newspeak when politicians defend the island of Taiwan against the PRC.kenan said:Just want right to be right!Foxconn are NOT an Chines company!!Foxconn are Taiwanes company!Taiwan does not belong to China, Taiwan is an independent democratic country!But Foxconn operate in China.But all this you already new! So why write wrong!
