    On the right that's a 12, not a 12 mini.


    His 12 mini is white, here it is:

  • Mac with T2 Security Chip required to play 4K Netflix streams in macOS Big Sur

    Apple's homegrown SMC (System Management Controller) aka T2 is also a hardware video decoder. But Intel's CPU and AMD's GPU are also hardware video decoders.

    If my portfolio didn't have too much AAPL in it already, I would be buying.
    I have quite a bit in AAPL as well, and happily going long on it.

    Waiting for the bottom and will be loading up on more.


    Isn't this the bottom? I mean how much lower can it go?

    Then again this is AAPL......
    The lowest it goes is the point when it switches to more willing to buy than there are to sell. And after these new buyers arrive the price goes a little higher and those that shorted are forced to buy back the shares at a higher price than they borrowed them for. Then those that feel they made a mistake in selling their shares at less than the current price buy them back again and it goes higher still. Then the new buyers tell their friends how much they made and that encourages more buyers sending the price higher still. This carries on until some people decide they have made enough and start to sell, and then when there are more sellers than buyers the price falls again. The media like to relate these changes in price to something that happened and quite often they need to look a few days back to find something believable but the reality is the change in trend has nothing to do with that and is all about fear vs greed.

  • Apple Maps cars use LiDAR, Mac Pro to capture street data

    Nice that they are actually capturing data in the UK, but it's been so long since they started the data's going to be out of date by the time it finally becomes available... Not sure how a $2tn company can be so slow at mapping when Google has had it done for many years, and in many cases with several updates since introduction. Or maybe it's just because the ideal weather conditions are so rare here ;) 
    I noticed the new map in UK a couple weeks ago it's pretty good lots of missing roads have been added and lots of paths too and it looks really nice, more colourful and the golf course holes are a nice touch.
