Apple begins selling $4999 27-inch iMac Pro with 8-core CPU, deliveries arrive Dec. 27
Won't disagree, but it wasn't officially "Pro" branded, under Apple's modern product naming scheme (which can be, admittedly, a mess).polymnia said:Wasn’t the SE/30 the original Pro all-in-one?
i know it was a long time ago.
The SE/30 was the machine on which I first learned Freehand & Page(Rage)Maker.
I love how they just got this one in before the buzzer went off on 2017. Seems to be the typical Apple Pro Machine launch script now.

iMac Pro debuts custom Apple T2 chip to handle secure boot, password encryption, more
Wouldn't be overkill for mobile (nor desktop) if it had development/programming applications. If it's based on an A10, it will do more than secure enclave. At some point.tipoo said:nhughes said:
That would be a huge leap from building off of the S1P to building off of the A10. The A10 has a ton of horsepower. If it turns out the T2 is based off of the A10, I suspect it will do *a lot* more than a secure enclave in the future.tipoo said:It's also possible the T2 is based off the A10. The T1 was based off the first Watch SoC.
Well, Steve Troughton-Smith was playing around with a compile target just like the A10. I find it unlikely there's both, a T2 and an A10 side by side, so it seems very possible the T2 is just a very A10-like chip.
Certainly overkill for mobile, but a desktop has no such concerns.

AppleInsider podcast talks AirPods, 2018 iPhones, iOS 11.2, and STEM education with MakeCr...
Thanks for listening! Victor is in Raleigh, and I am in Brooklyn. An awkward, lag-induced, “sorry, go ahead” exchange doesn’t make for ideal podcast fodder, so sometimes in that situation you try to push through with your thoughts. And then, as Victor said, sometimes the service we use (Zencastr) has a sort of “drift” where our individual recordings get out of sync. The end result is it sounds like we are talking over each other when, in fact, we were not when we recorded. Victor spends his time editing and fixing these issues, but it’s not easy!rrrize said:vmarks said:
And sometimes, (not always, but sometimes) it's a clock sync issue. Clock sync drifts the longer we record, so our responses can be perfectly interleaved at the beginning of the show and be off, talking over each other (even though we weren't) by the end. I make several cuts to adjust it back into line, and I appreciate your patience with it as we record these.nhughes said:
Fair point, but I'll note that we are not recording in the same room (let alone the same state). So the whole "talking over each other" thing is sometimes a lag issue, sometimes a miscommunication issue.rrrize said:Can't say I don't like the podcast. It's not bad at all. But it is highly, HIGHLY annoying when one of you is talking and the other cuts in with a thought but no one wants to back down so you both keep talking at the same time, in essence telling the other that you're not going to stop till your thought is complete. How about just not cutting one another off. Courtesy plays better over audo (podcast). Quit the annoyingness <-- I know it's not a word.
Oh wow... had no clue you guys were not in the same room (or state)! Well, that explains it. Of course, from time to time in conversation we interrupt one another. That's natural. I just have a peeve when one participant in a convo appears to think they have a point so great that they cease listening to the person talking, cut them off and refuses to stop talking until that "great" thought is complete. It's a peeve I have in any conversation setting - not just your podcast. But when that happens (at least seemingly) in your podcast, I find myself shouting out loud, "SHUT UP DUDE! LET THE GUY FINISH HIS THOUGHT!!" lol. At the very minimum, it shows that I'm really into the show and am listening and interested in what you guys are saying, right? : ) Thanks for clarifying. Keep up the good work! I'll catch you on the next podcast.
