I want to enable cellular service for my new watch when it gets here but if the line access fee is really $10 then lol. all they have to do is enable it and it uses the same data. but that’s worth $10 a month apparently

infernal machines posted:it's a carrier retail store, $14/hr. is the minimum wage in my province. i don't know how much money she actually makes, all i know is she was sad that the phone costs "as much as i make in a month" Tell her to get an iPhone 7. It’s a great phone and you can get them cheaply now. iOS 12 runs very well on it.

infernal machines posted:wait, why can't you now? just turn on you hotspot on your phone and have carputer connect to that. You can do that but it's a stupid hack and requires two devices anyway. Or like, what if I want to put an old cell phone in the glove box for emergencies? Can't just add it to my plan, gotta buy a prepaid sim for it for no reason other than price gouging. oh and last time I looked into that, if you didn't use the minutes/data within a year or something, they'd expire anyway lol

Verizon let's you combine your accounts so you can use the same login to fios and wireless - the future is here

that ming kuo guy predicted in july new imacs with better displays (hes killing it so far btw https://www.macrumors.com/2018/07/11/apple-product-updates-fall-kuo/) ive been reading about titan ridge and thunderbolt now supports displayport 1.4 so macs with discrete graphics could in theory drive 4 5k screens at 120hz if new imacs that support this are not announced in october tim cook should be fired imo

iMac 8K incoming also the cellular Apple Watch would be great if you didn’t need a phone to use it. if they ever do that I’ll buy one so I don’t have to carry around this gigantic iPhone SE.

  (The first one is for myself being old, the second is for that poor gently caress who identifies with us*) *: I'm late 1980 so I'm never sure whether I'm X or Millennial. Also the use of "generations" to define broad swaths of population is politically reductive and deeply disrespectful towards people's lived experiences.

lol gruber remember the solid year he spent talking about how apple was now this super-high end ~*luxury*~ brand and it was about to completely shatter the entire high-end market for fashion accessories and everyone better look out because the solid gold watch was only the start of apples inevitable march to becoming the new louis vuitton? fast forward to today johnny fireball posted:The original 18-karat gold Edition watches never made sense to me. It’s clear that was a mistake — they never sold well even by the standards of $20,000 watches, and working with gold didn’t help Apple with other products.

the appletv is a more tim-like product than an apple tv would have been because they can ship 50 units they make $100 apiece on in the space of a single television box they would have made maybe a grand on and is incredibly fragile

the tv market is a terrible one - prices drop constantly, margins are nonexistent, and people upgrade every 8-15 years. its why the makers are so hot to try and get people excited about new technology (3d glasses! curved screens! 8k oleds!) only to have the vat majority of the market shrug and buy the $349 panel that will last them for a decade its pretty much the opposite of any sort of market that apple gets involved in

gruber at least comes up with some semi-informed sources spilling about apples awol airpower charging matquote:AirPower: I wrote about AirPower’s absence earlier this week. What I’ve heard, third-hand but from multiple little birdies, is that AirPower really is well and truly hosed. Something about the multi-coil design getting too hot — way too hot. There are engineers who looked at AirPower’s design and said it could never work, thermally, and now those same engineers have that “told you so” smug look on their faces. Last year Apple was apparently swayed by arguments that they could figure out a way to make it not get hot. They were, clearly, wrong. I think they’ve either had to go completely back to the drawing board and start over with an entirely different design, or they’ve decided to give up and they just don’t want to say so. e: it will be a long, long, long time before apple announces a new product that isnt 100% complete and ready to ship FMguru fucked around with this message at 00:38 on Sep 17, 2018 |
