  • Stars take you through Steve Martin's comedy career in new Apple TV+ documentary

    ciacia
    Having started on "SNL" in the 1970s, Martin is still performing.


    Steve Martin was never a cast member of SNL... He's just hosted so many times it feels like he was.


    Also this doc looks great, Steve truly is a comedy icon.

  • So far, the early return rate on Apple Vision Pro is pretty low

    ciacia
    I returned mine.  I was bummed to do so.  In my opinion it is an incredible product.  I had high expectations and it managed to beat them.  My only real issue is the price. I can't justify spending over $4,000 (512GB model and tax) on the headset.  From a media consumption standpoint, maybe when more is available.  I watched almost everything I could watch in 3D on it, and the immersive video shows HUGE promise but there isn't much to view now.  That will change, but for the moment it's limited.  From a productivity standpoint it was nice having a massive monitor on my laptop, but it wasn't the best to do actual work yet.

    Like many people, I'm excited for version 2 or version 3.  That might be 2028, but I got a glimpse of the future for the last 2 weeks and I can't wait for it to arrive (at a lower cost).

  • Apple Vision Pro storage cabinets appear in stores ahead of launch

    ciacia
    It really is funny that we all immediately notice how "un-apple" the symmetry of the storage cabinet is compared to the other display tables.


    Jony Ive is rolling over in his grave.

  • Steam ending support for Macs running macOS Mojave and earlier

    ciacia
    Portal, Portal 2, Peggle, Peggle Nights, Bioshock Infinite.  The only reason I still have an old machine working is to play these games. The fact the developers won't update the games is already a pain, now Steam is killing support on their end also?

    These aren't no name games either.

    You can't even buy an updated version anywhere for any of these games.  They are literally killing them unless you have a old machine around dedicated to just these.

  • FCC permits consumer products to utilize more of the 6GHz band, benefiting Apple

    ciacia
    Nothing to do with the article but I'm also going to chime in hoping to see apple bring back the Airport line with modern standards.  I am still using the several of the last generation base stations scattered around as hardwired wifi access points.   I did switch my primary router to a Wifi 6 unit though.

    I'll hop on the 6E/7 bandwagon at some point.  Thankfully I don't live in a dense wifi environment so the older equipment works pretty well.
