  • New MacBook Pro models limited to HDMI 2.0

    cy_starkmancy_starkman
    I will go out on a limb here and be branded a bit apologist perhaps.

    In the multi-monitor part of the presentation. Three Pro XDR displays are shown, one doing colour correction, one editing, one with waveforms (setup like an edit suite). The HDMI output is then represented by a large "TV" class screen above them, in the "client" position as per an edit suite.

    That setup kind of speaks to Apple's intentions. The HDMI is for showing a broadcast output to a consumer display not a professional display. Yes there are 120hz large displays. Yes all of them are pitched at gaming consoles. They are hardly mainstream.

    Not saying its right, just saying Apple seems to have shown what they were intending and why.

  • Man sues Apple for terminating Apple ID with $24K worth of content

    cy_starkmancy_starkman
    there are so many reasons Apple could choose to terminate your ID. Things you do, things others do to you.

    people talking about download your things, download all the apps for my phone?

    and here is the clincher - my laptop and phone and tablet require my Apple ID to function, next minute you can’t even get security updates, you can’t even wipe them because that requires your Apple ID.

    Sorry Apple, please don’t send your goons round to smash into my home and take everything that i have paid for outright, i own that book, i paid for those movies, no i use those tools for work, what you are taking the very phone out of my hand so i can’t call my lawyer

    there are no analogies required. it is criminal

    by the way, has anyone read the terms and conditions of iTunes and what happens to all your purchased music if you subscribe to Apple Music? i bet you haven’t. so sad too bad.

  • Lawsuit claims Apple facilitates, benefits from illegal gambling on the App Store

    i unfortunately read the comments, now i feel compelled to respond.

    Bunch of damn Apple apologists.

    I am generally an anti google person due to their gross behaviour toward and profiteering from violence, scams, hate, child targeting, predatory behaviour, destruction of value and being the biggest spammer on earth

    However the gambling simulators on the various app stores are horrendous and predatory; worse in my opinion is that any game that is free and stuffed with ads, will include ads promoting these kinds of apps directly to small kids.

    Google turns a blind eye and i expect that of them, however Apple turning a blind eye is real and equally -insert appropriate swear word-

    There is no apology, this is not a spurious law suit, it is Apple profiteering and the no doubt very hypocritical comments saying “control yourself” sadly highlight the quality and compassion of the commenters.

  • All the new watch faces in watchOS 7 and Apple Watch Series 6

    cy_starkmancy_starkman
    and for reasons only known to the marketing team - Series 3 Watches just get the artist watchface....

    those coloured stripes and typography must be so much more complex to run - i guess my watch would fail if it tried
