  • ProRes in 4K limited to iPhone 13 models with 256GB of storage or more

    killroykillroy
    A minute of 4K ProRes 422HQ is 6GB
    A minute of 4K ProRes 4444HQ is 8GB

    Whichever flavor of ProRes it is, it's gonna suck up storage really quickly. The only other possible reason is the storage in the 128 isn't fast enough to keep up, but that seems unlikely.
    Are you using 4K-2160 that's 7.94 GB
    or 3072 that's 11.29 GB
    or Academy that's 8.74? GB

    So many 4K setups.

  • 2022 Mac Pro said to use Intel Ice Lake Xeon W-3300 CPU

    Like I say though, the tower form factor hasn't made much sense for Apple to keep making it for at least a decade and it makes less sense now than ever with such efficient hardware. Apple has stated repeatedly their goal was always to make the hardware disappear, that's why the new iMacs are so compact. The Mac Pro has stuck around as an ugly wart on that goal for far longer than necessary and this was only due to the failings of Intel, Nvidia and AMD over the years. Now they can go it alone and build exactly the hardware they want.

    I would have to disagree, if it wasn't for the pro towers they would not have the Pro market where I work. The infrastructure where I work requires PCI slots. There's a lot of 32 gigabit fiber-optic networking for video editing and all the apps or Adobe and Avid. If Apple ever put out another product like the trashcan my employer may never approve an Apple  product again no matter what chip is in it.

  • House unveils sweeping antitrust legislation that takes aim at tech giants

    I always thought it was interesting that Microsoft would really get into this battle. They thought that they wouldn’t get caught in the same crosshairs? Same goes for Epic and Spotify. Acquiring the Joe Rogan show and making it exclusive can even fall under scrutiny because Spotify is the platform and now they have exclusive content. Most of this stuff isn’t going result in anything because it wants to unravel basic business ideas.

    Microsoft tried to used a third party, SCO, to sue IBM over Linux. A total misuse of the judicial system.

  • Apple currently limiting M1 iPad Pro apps to 5GB RAM each

    Per the internet, it sounds like the next version of iPadOS will likely eliminate the 5GB only barrier.

    Or give you a choice so you can set the limit would be nice.

    Actually they did, with the Mac App Store. Not very successful as many apps outside of Apple’s own, weren’t  there for various reasons, the main one being Apple’s 30% cut. 
    Woah, let me stop you right there. You don't get to spew easily-disproven, nonsensical bullshit here and not get called out for it.

    While specific figures are not available for the Mac App Store, it is by far the most successful of any marketplace for Mac Apps, and offers a catalog of at least 1.5 million apps (and that's a stat from more than two years ago) -- the largest single repository of apps for the Mac platform by far. Nearly every major developer writing apps for the Mac has a presence on the Mac App Store, and consumers generally prefer to download from the Mac App Store because of the incredibly low risk of malware concerns, that the app has been tested by Apple, and the store's easy refund policy if you change your mind.

    Developers can offer their wares at prices that include Apple's cut on the App Store, or they can offer it independently (which is generally MORE expensive/time-consuming than 30 percent of the purchase price unless you are a large and very successful developer), or they can remember back to when software was sold in boxes in stores and both the store AND the distributors took substantial cuts that would usually total in excess of 50-70 percent. Developers can offer a product in the MAS and also encourage users to buy it in other ways (SetApp, directly, etc), but most users enjoy the convenience of the Mac App Store.. Building and maintaining a secure website that operates in every market worldwide, provides world-class analytics, with iron-clad payment security and an easy refund policy is not cheap or easy, me bucko -- try it sometime!

    Your comment shows off your ignorance. Until you can provide some evidence to support your BS, maybe sit down and suck your thumb.


    Who pee'd in your Corn Flakes?

    You want examples of apps not present in the Mac App store?
    1) Citrix Receiver: Even though "Citrix SSO" is there it simply doesn't work. So I had to download "Citrix receiver" outside the Mac App store.

    2) UltraEdit/UltraCompare suite: I have projects using this suite on both Windows and Mac. Gotta get it from outside.

    3) FortiClient VPN:  Not there. I have two clients whom I connect to using this particular VPN.

    4) SQL Developer for Oracle: Nope not there either.

    5) Cisco AnyConnect VPN:  A client is set up with this and he had to send me the dmg file through his Cisco account.

    That's just five examples. There are others.  


    Add all Broadcast production apps and raid drivers to that.
