loving swiftui is out, a new declarative ui paradigm and you ABSOLUTE LOSERS are talking about the stand

There are no autolayout or “what’s new in cocoa touch” sessions (though the is an appkit one).. SwiftUI is definitely the future. Marzipan/Catalyst is basically already outdated.

how does this make any sense in your head. obviously nothing on macos depends on cuda since there hasnt been an nvidia mac for almost a decade. if someones buying this then they already use a program that has metal support lol

https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2019/06/pro-app-developers-react-to-the-new-mac-pro-and-pro-display-xdr/

a lot of 3d and motion graphics people have been holding out (way too long) for good gpu rendering on a mac. redshift and octane finally coming to metal is good news but lmao at waiting for that when you don’t know what the implementation and support is going to be like and pay a starting price of $6000 for a config with pos video card

usually when buying enterprise workstations you also get support

come to think of it what you’re really buying is the support

better get applecare so you can lug your $6000 mac pro to an appointment timed at apple's convenience at the apple store that's an hour away

it's amazing that people pay apple prices for google's level of support

back when i worked in IT we had dells and apples

a dell support technician came to us within a few hours and fixed the computer on-site

apple shipped us an empty box with cut-away foam and we had to pack and ship the computer to get it repaired

it's possible things have changed since i left IT but since apple has no enterprise support for software (they gave it away to jamf and casper) i'd be really surprised if they have enterprise support for hardware

Why doesn't Apple have an optional hovercraft base for the new Mac Pro. They expect my computer to touch the filthy ground while it is being moved?

people don’t buy $6k machines, companies do. a company that has a use for these kinds of machines has no problem paying that much for it, that is the low end for workstation pricing.

it sucks that there’s no affordable Mac desktop. but this wasn’t supposed to be that.

the affordable mac desktop is the mac mini oh wait that’s like a 1000 dollars

but still the price of the pro doesn’t really surprise me

The new XPS 15 will apparently be numbered “7590” rather than continuing the 95x0-series numbering pattern with 9580?


quote:

According to Dell, the 7590 moniker indicates the following:

7 - Dell's premium lineup
5 - Screen size (3 indicates 13-inch and 5, 15-inch)
90 - Model number
Dell said that it is aligning the numbering scheme with other notebook series such as Inspiron, Vostro, Precision, and Latitude. There won't be a 9xxx SKU henceforth so 7xxx implies a high-end model, a 5xxx implies mid-range, and 3xxx indicates a budget variant.

The Streacom DA2 (AnandTech review) makes a similar style frame case for PCs, the ever so popular Linus recently did a review. Looks like the new direction for flexibility in builds.

I'm interested but only if it boots OS8

OS9 breaks compatibility with too many After Dark screensaver modules since they removed support for compressed resources.

The plaintiffs allege that a third party can purchase a list of iTunes customers based on different demographic requirements, like a list of unmarried people who have a taste for a particular genre of music.

The data Apple discloses supposedly includes the full names and home addresses of its customers, together with the genres and, in some cases, song titles customers have purchased via the iTunes Store and then stored in their devices.

This post is dedicated to the brave Mujahideen fighters of Afghanistan

I’m not a believer that Apple is out to save everyone or whatever. they’re still a profit driven company therefore can’t be trusted, BUT it’s a million times better than google or Facebook owning the SSO process across websites so it’s a step in the right direction.

it looks like with the new Catalina they’re even making it so a stolen computer is completely worthless like they did with iPhone which is good.
