  • Panicked selling of AAPL lets Apple buy back billions cheaply

    This all makes sense if this were an Apple issue and not a global economy issue.  Personally, I expect the market to keep dropping until some good news about Covid-19 starts appearing.  It doesn't matter if Apple can make iPhones if there are economy-wide layoffs crushing the demand for iStuff.
    This market was long over due for a correction, I don't think a threat from Covid-19 has much to do with it. Personally I think we had too many bubbles this cycle, Tesla, Beyond Meat, Virgin Galactic.

    I think Apple's buy backs are pre-planned and can't take advantage of dips like this and any good timing or bad timing is just averaged out.

    These days, I would consider a monitor with “ultra high” resolution to be much higher than the 5k of the iMac, which has had that Rez for quite some time. The 4K Rez of this monitor isn’t anything near ultra high. I don’t know why that term was used. Even the 6k of the new Apple pro monitor doesn’t qualify as being ultra high. With 8k Tvs coming out now, even that barely qualifies these days.

    the price is good enough for what it is. Not sure it qualifies to be equivalent to the real pro monitors out there though. They’re about 50% more, and up

    PC monitors aren't more than 4k because Windows would look too small on a 27", so you just don't get non-Apple designed 5k 27" monitors, there were a couple of attempts but the Dell one needed 2 cables and the Iiyama suffered from many dead pixels. On Windows 4k is "ultra-high" because it's the highest you can get.

  • How to set up and use HomeKit and AirPlay 2 on Sony Smart TVs

    indiekidukindiekiduk
    The HomeKit features sound great, it puts Sony TVs well ahead of Samsung but how about changing the channel can HomeKit do that?

  • AMD's $799 Radeon Pro W5700 offers a potential GPU alternative for the Mac Pro

    indiekidukindiekiduk
    Usually the Radeon Pro have ECC RAM justifying the higher price compared to the identical chip in the consumer cards, odd this one doesn't.

  • Logitech's Circle 2 is first cam to support Apple's HomeKit Secure Video

    indiekidukindiekiduk
    5 cameras? Unless they fixed it you could only live view max 2 Circle cameras in HomeKit (among many other issues).

    Given Logitech offer 24 hours of free recordings it's a shame Apple didn't match that, the day summary feature was quite handy too wonder if you get to keep that.
