  • Redesigned Mac mini with M1 Pro & M1 Max set for spring Apple event

    There is still a strong need for a way to expand the SSD. A small slot in the back with the ability to insert and remove a M2 SSD module would do the trick nicely. Bonus points if it can be hot-swapped while the computer is on. SSDs are evolving rapidly in both speed and capacity. For a computer to have a 5 to 8 year life, you will want to upgrade the onboard storage. No external port, be it USB 4 or Thunderbolt, can get anywhere close to the speed of a M2 SSD. Even game consoles allow the SSD to be replaced with performance above 6 GB/s.

    Imagine a Mini a bit taller that had four M2 slots. Instant RAID with high read/write and reliability. Would make an excellent editing system that was also portable.

    All my money is going on “Super M1 Max Plus Extra” as the name on the next chip. 

    And next year they'll add "Classic Gold" on the end.

  • Wi-Fi 7 speeds are almost as fast as Thunderbolt 3

    That's great but how about making it actually secure? Apparently it is still trivial to hack any WiFi.

  • Apple TV+ 'The Morning Show' renewed for a third season

    If you like non-stop, way over the top, over-acted anger, with dialogue consisting of every sentence containing F•••, F•••, F•••, you'll love The Morning Show. I hope the new showrunner can get a handle on these drama kings and queens (actors, writers, directors, and producers), then this could actually turn out to be an award-winning show. And yes, I've watched every episode, more to laugh at it than admire it, but I can see redemption if others feel the same. Who am I kidding, America loves this crap!

    You've never worked in US TV news have you?
    Or any other kind of newsroom, for that matter.

    Thinking back on my days in the newsroom and production studios I am reminded of that line from A Christmas Story: "...my father wove a tapestry of obscenities that as far as we know is still hanging in space over Lake Michigan."

    The Morning Show doesn't even make a minuscule scratch to the surface of the things I heard on headset and face to face working in news.
