  • Apple's Mac Studio launches with new M1 Ultra chip in a compact package

    At the end when he said we have one more but that’s for another day and said the Mac Pro… so this studio isn’t going to be their biggest powerhouse but merely a stepping stone.. What the hell will the new Mac Pro be packed with??

    M1 Zilla.

  • Epic Games acquires Bandcamp to create 'fair' platforms for creators

    Translation: Bandcamp users will need to pay really close attention to the fine print going forward.
    Have Epic stiffed someone in the fine print before?

    For a company that can't adhere to a contract and change the code in the back end to stiff paying fees, I'd say yes

  • Leaked plan shows Intel will try to be more efficient than M1 Max by late 2023

    Nowhere does the leaked slide say Intel is targeting m1 max.  Alder lake already beats m1 max at many tasks. With arrow lake-p, Intel is targeting whatever chip apple will have in-market in late 2023/early 2024. 

    What’s not mentioned in the slide is arrow lake-H. Intel’s p-series are it’s low power series. Intel’s h series are it’s high end mobile chips that offer desktop class performance. 

    If an intel low power p-series chip beats apple m2 max or m3 max, then the h series will have even more performance still. At a higher wattage of course.  

    My take: Arrow lake-p seems to be designed to match a similar performance per watt as apple’s m series chips. Arrow lake-h seems to be designed to leave apple in the dust. But only time will tell. The benefactor of this competition will be us, the consumer. 

    In most speed test it's only by 5%. Take note that Alder lake needs 4 more cores to do that . So Alder lake is slow.

  • Major websites may stop working soon for Firefox and Chrome users

    I think in the scheme  things it will all  work out. A global pandemic kind of puts these things in to perspective  :)

    Did people not see this issue coming?  I mean at some point a 2 digit agent identify isn’t going to work any more.  I know Safari allows you to change agent identification, surely Firefox could emulate an older versions automatically if needed. 
    I don't see this as a browser issue. I see this as a lack of forward thinking on the part of web servers that only accept 2 digit ids. Let the web server developers get their acts together.
    When Microsoft releases a new OS upgrade, you can be sure they test hundreds of apps on hundreds of different PCs (tens of thousands of combinations) before they release the OS upgrade. Even though Microsoft doesn't have the legal responsibility to ensure compatibility, I really appreciate that they try. Browser developers should do the same thing, because browsers are akin to an OS for so many people and purposes.

    This about WEB servers not an OS problem. Web servers run an app on a PC that is internet facing. It 's the app that needs updating.

  • Tesla design chief takes shot at Apple, claims there's 'nothing to look forward to'

    You should shut up and work on cars cars fit and finish. And stop making it work like an incendiary bomb.
