SupahCoolX posted:You could just remap the key to invoke Launchpad instead of Dashboard in System Preferences > Keyboard. That is reasonable. If you know that and just want the different icon printed on your key... well... ...you could go to an Apple Store and ask a genius nicely. Pop the dashboard key out and see if he'll give you a launchpad key in exchange. They keep a pile of current keys for customers that like to type with fishhooks dangling from their fingers.

Auriak posted:Hey guys, I have kind of an odd request and I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask. I'm trying to reduce the number of cables I have to plug/unplug each time I move my MacBook Pro to and from my desk. I have a set of Logitech speakers that connect via 3.5mm audio jack and would love to be able to plug them in via my USB hub instead. (So there is one less cable for me to connect each time.) Is there some type of adapter I could buy that would allow me to do this? I did some looking on Amazon and it seems the devices that do this are either specialized for smartphones or are full blown external sound cards. Will those work or is there a simpler device that will still use the MBP's internal sound card? Does what I am wanting exist? Is there a better thread for me to ask in? Thanks in advance. Any audio heading out the USB port would need a DAC to reconstruct it into an audio signal (and drivers to let the system know how to send audio out). That's why all you're finding are audio interfaces.

Star War Sex Parrot posted:Yes it's a huge difference. I wonder why they choose to include the Geforce 9400M but not the GT version for the 2010 MBP.  I know it's still not the greatest, but it was the best you could get at the time. (And I want to know how many fps of Starcraft 2 I'm missing out on).

asaf posted:being my eventual target platform for development, having an iPad of my own would be very convenient for testing. There is no substitute for the real thing when it comes to testing. You will find 1000% more information about rotation, multi-touch interface interaction, and performance with a real iPad. The simulator doesn't cut it. If you do go with a Mini+iPad, remember that the resale value is great for the Mini in case you want to switch to a portable later.

Can anyone recommend an external CD/DVD burner that's a) cheap and b) reliable? I keep going back and forth about fixing the broken internal one in my 2007 Mac mini. If I did, it would probably be just to sell the thing right away. But I figure having an external will be nice for the new Macbook Air in the house.

While cutting some pineapple, a piece flew and landed right on the edge of my trackpad. It was enough for a tiny bit of juice to get inside of it. Now every day there is some crystalized sugar inside that crunches until it's been pulverized. No amount of cleaning has gotten ride of it. Fuuuuuck.

Bob Morales posted:Zip and Jaz drives still had uses. You could re-write the drive over and over. Zip drives didn't get scratched or shatter in high-speed player. You didn't write a Zip drive and then have an older Zip drive not read it. And Jaz drives were FAST. Burning a 4x CD-R was a huge pain. Right, for about 7 months until all the problems you mentioned disappeared. I also seem to remember horrendous failure rates in my Zip / Jazz media.

Hocus Pocus posted:...school's leaning towards Mac and Apple do you think investing a bit more money and getting a MacBook Pro is worth it? I tell my students (teach electro-acoustic music in a university) that the platform doesn't matter at all. If you're a Windows person, use it. There's great software on all platforms. That said, if for some reason your university expects you to work at home (this is rare in lab-based classes), you may want to match your platform. But again, that's only if there's a really good reason that they've made clear to you.

It was more a comment of surprise. There are 27" Samsung displays for a third of that. I like to get monitors new to enjoy the brightness before they fade (got an older Cinema display next to me now which is pretty dark).

japtor posted:Sure about that? Around $300 you're likely seeing 1920x1080 rather than 2560x1440 (or 1600), that resolution jump tends to come with a decent price jump as well. Looking around you're probably looking at $500-600 on the lower end for one of those. Monoprice has one for ~$480 although the customer reviews seem kind of all over the place. Yeah and getting ethernet + USB goodies through the Thunderbolt cable is pretty slick. I guess it makes sense.

No idea if this is a hardware or software question. I have a 2011 iMac that is always connected to a projector via its displayport out. When you log in, the Finder appears, and about 2 seconds later, the iMac screen goes black. Adjusting the brightness does nothing, and the projector screen stays visible. If you restart, you have about a 50% chance of it happening again. If you just log out, or the screen locks after going to sleep, it always happens. I can't figure this out. Anyone have a clue?

Posting from a Mac Pro. It's still a nice machine for Xcode, and matching dual retina monitors is a godsend on the eyes. Fan noise is amazing for audio. We had an old setup where we remoted a cheese grater across the hall just so our audio lab would be usable. With the MP in there we could have dual monitors / peripherals all attached and convenient. That said, had it been my money I couldn't have afforded it, and would have bought an iMac. And holy poo poo three years without a bump. I mean come on.

flosofl posted:Love the Pencil. Hands down the best stylus I've ever used. Paired with the iPad Pro it's become indispensable to me. That being said, I wish it had an erase function but I've been trained for years with dumb styluses to use select the eraser icon, so it's not like I really *miss* it. The charging is asinine. I still have no idea why they didn't use the smart connector (which can supply power) and a magnet in the pencil to attach it. It's sad how half-assed the rollout of the pencil has been. A new iPad line refresh aaaaaaaand it still only works with the 13" Pro :/ New iPhones? No support for the pencil. And I'm sorry, but it's loving inelegant not to have an eraser function. But I'm with you: the feel of it is really, really good.

rear end Catchcum posted:If it wasn't called the pencil, would you be bemoaning the lack of eraser at the end? Like, clearly you can get used to it, but every artist I've handed it to has immediately flipped it over when they wanted to erase something. It's the kind of thing that, were I the designer, I would have taken a step back and thought: maybe it would be really natural to have an eraser side.

2011 MBP failed today. Jesus what do I do with this lineup. I think I would hate the all USB-C port dongle crap, the touch bar feels terrible, and I'm afraid my ESC key habit would drive me insane with it. Are the non-touch bar models significantly slower? Other than CPU and GPU differences getting the old model seems like a no-brainer.
