  • Apple's Self Service Repair answers critics, doesn't help users

    It will open the door to small shops doing (better and easier) repairs. Welcome addition! We should thank regulators on this one. Next: upgrade capabilities!

    with two sandisk ssd's plugged into the two tb ports on the m1 mini and using striped raid, i get approx 1500mb/s throughput. when i use the owc dock this drops to approx 1000mb/s. a single standalone ssd which clocks at about 750mb/s when plugged into the mini drops to about 550mb/s. owc basically blew me off after i sent them reams of test data and tried everything they suggested by saying the problem was the monterey os. first bad experience i've ever had with owc and now i'm stuck with a boat anchor. /guy
    Mac mini M1 misbehaves in certain scenarios: Without a monitor connected directly to the mini’s Thunderbolt port, throughput to external devices via Thunderbolt is limited—just as you describe it.
    I’ve read about this problem on OWC’s blog: The Rocket Yard.

    I have a Mac Mini M1, owc thunderbolt enclosure and SSD. I use HDMI for video. If my oldest 4k BenQ EL2870U (28", 3840 x 2160 Pixels) is connected, disk speed is 1.8gb/s. If I connect a newer Samsung U32R594CWR (32", 4K UHD) , speed is around 3.5gb/s
    still a mystery to me of why that happens …

  • Apple won't make a touch-screen MacBook Pro, but will improve third-party repairs

    My son is 7. Uses iPhone-iPad since he was a toddler. 

    He “naturally” touches the screens he wants to interact with.

    Now he’s learning programming on the iPad Pro and I plan to subtlety put a reachable mouse to see how it goes.

    I know that the sample is small, but it seems to me that “non touch screens” are “legacy” and once Apple bridges OSX properly into a touch screen these discussions we see about “should be this or that way” will cease a bit

    FB is an amazing company. Jobs was Zuckerberg’s mentor. I personally believe that’s a good investment, more in times of trouble. Long FB for the LT

  • AirPods 3 expected to arrive at iPhone 13 event after a year of rumors

    I have mine, first generation. Lovely product. After two years almost unusable due to battery (I suppose). I went back to wired, for the few minutes I have to be out of home every week … hope they make airpods with replaceable batteries, otherwise is a no-go for me …
