  • Apple & ARM's iPhone & Mac chip partnership will continue for decades

    godofbiscuitssfgodofbiscuitssf
    Apple is also part of the RISC V consortium. As soon as Apple announced Macs as having “Apple Silicon” and not “ARM-based CPUs” I knew it’d be a possibility that they’d always remain open to other ISAs.  If RISC V continues on its current trajectory— and continues to attract all the talent — it may happen by 2035–40.

    I bought my Mac Pro a bit before the cheese grater. But after the amazing laptops and the max studio, you really consider this the best max ever made? I admit it’s competing, at least for it’s time. But this article seems 3 years late.  Basically this had internal storage and good pci expansion. That makes it the best mac ever made?  Meh. It was important at the time. And I do respect that. But im Not sure it qualifies it for the honors you are trying to give it. 
    You... bought your Mac Pro before the cheese grater? I don't think you did somehow. 

    It was the best Mac for Pros who need expansion, upgradability, power and value. Unlike the current Mac Pro, it was very respectably priced. Furthermore, It was a machine without the outcomes of Apple's undesired "courage"; the current Mac Pro seems more like a tech demo than a real machine, with the resulting price tag to go with it.

    You might want to lighten up.  The "OG" Mac Pro was just the Power Mac with Intel Inside. Even people at apple were calling them Power Macs for a long time after they were Intel machines.

    This is happening across seveal consumer subscritoion industries: Obama phones, subscriptions, Netflix, Amazon  Prime, Water, Electricity Gas you name it.   Why you ask?  Because they are giving away or 50% reduction to lazy people who choose not to work.   Those of us who bust our backs to support ourselves are now also paying for the lazy.    Fact Check it.
    What's an "Obama phone"?

    So Elon's new strategy is to prosper by suing the only Twitter users he has left?
    Yeah that's definitely what the article said.
    It *says* he cares about the user experience on Twitter.  Or that's the only conclusion one can make from the wording.  And that's absolutely not true.

  • Apple rumored to be testing macOS for M2 iPad Pro

    godofbiscuitssfgodofbiscuitssf
    Oh, THIS again.    As I write this on my *M1* Mac, should I say why it makes no sense that a "cut down" version of macOS would require an M2?  Mac OS doesn't have a touch interface.  It doesn't do well with a fixed amount of RAM.  There's not enough battery in an iPad to run a fully-multitasking OS. 

    It's a silly rumor.
