  • New M4 Macs are expected to launch on November 1

    Would it be too much to ask for an Apple Studio update with the rest of them? I know the current Wunderzwillinge united squad arounde it being delayed until the WDC, but wouldn’t it just make more sense to release them all at once?
     
    My internal Devil’s Advocate says that releasing too many M4s at the same time would put far too much pressure on M4 production line and could create a really bad backlog
    I assume you mean Mac Studio...Those are probably waiting for the M4 Ultra and/or M4 Extreme (if one does exist) which won't be until next year. I'm guessing the Mac Studio will only have the M4 Max and M4 Ultra models available similar to how they're configured now with the M2, leaving the M4 Ultra and M4 Extreme for the Mac Pro to better differentiate the 2 models. 

    You're most likely correct in saying the releasing too many M4 models would overwhelm production with long wait times to get your order delivered.

    Does no on else find this gross, and at the systemic root of wtf is wrong in our country?  Seems like a nice guy you'd root for but then no.  Just another greedy fuc*ing cog in the wheel.  Don't really think he moves the needle either, other than a somewhat impressive Jobs facsimile come wwdc.  Bullshit human being unless I'm really missing something.


    You mean the same guy that built Apple to be the most successful company in the world? IMO, he's a far better CEO than Steve Jobs was. He's an incredibly smart person. Apple didn't just get lucky and become the biggest company in the world. Tim has had some amazing accomplishments during his tenure as CEO of Apple, Inc. 

    He's very deserving of what he got. And, it's not like people who work at Apple are making minimum wage here. They're generally paid quite well.

  • Teardown shows AirPods 4 still unfixable by the public

    I can't imagine anyone actually repairing their earbuds lol....I know it's important to people but not everything needs to be 100% repairable. Phones, tablets, Macs I can understand but earbuds?

  • Meta stored 600 million Facebook and Instagram passwords in plain text

    Social media can F off. Was initially fun to connect with current and old friends but it’s now more shite than reality TV. Pretty simple if you don’t want to get ripped off: Two factor authentication, don’t share passwords among services, don’t save bank cards online, only transfer what you need for any given online purchase onto a ‘burner’ card, don’t acknowledge calls or emails involving money or that are purportedly from your ‘bank’ or investment portfolio.
    If you just limit what you pay attention to and steer your pages toward that social media isn't too bad. I'm not a fan of FaceBook at all but the others are manageable.
