Kanye West's 'Vultures 1' briefly pulled from Apple Music after distributor drama
pjohnt said:thinkman100000000 said:3 very sick men are eating up 75% of the daily news cycle. West, Musk, Trump. The media is 100% to blame for giving these horrific men the pulpits to spread their hate, non-sense, and pure evil. Those of you caught up in their nets are inexcusable sycophants. At some point these hitlar-ian voices must crumble from the weight of their own insanity and hopefully take their follower with them.He has gone out of his way to vilify someone for pointing out the absurdity of his “rescue” torpedo the way Donald went after the central park 5. That qualifies him as being on the evil side. -
M3 Ultra Mac Studio rumored to debut in mid-2024 -- without a Mac Pro

Such as with 3D animation, where high end rigs can have up to 1TB of RAM and multiple GPUs (even if they aren’t run in SLI having a free GPU whilst one is working can be helpful).Additionally the cost of updating a GPU on a rig each year is less than the cost of buying a new Mac Studio each year.
That may be true but Apple isn't on that path and they are soon to be joined on that path by Qualcomm? UMA memory, low wattage with high performance? only time will tell. Hopefully the Justice Dept. won't take exception if it works out big for Apple. -
Stolen Device Protection to thwart iPhone thieves with passcodes with time delay
zeus423 said:longfang said:nofeer said:Xed
great suggestions but how to do this--4 character long press ???
PS: I recommend to not use a PIN. Use a complex passcode. You have those long-press characters on the iOS and Mac keyboards, too, which means you can make a simple 4-character passcode that has over 3 billion possible combinations by using one of those characters. It also makes it a lot more difficult for something to see what you're typing in over a regular keyboard or a number pad. -
