in today’s swiftui news, Apples documentation references functions that straight up don’t exist at all. it’s extremely good poo poo how unusable Xcode-swift-swiftui are when working together

laughing my goddamned rear end off if you use SwiftUI

also LMAO at some guy making renders of what unannounced Apple products might look like and having it be treated as news

extra LMAO if the new Mac Pro doesn’t have a real GPU in it (it won’t)

mate i’m just envious it’s not one of us making the renders and getting headline news for unfounded speculation

infiltrating the tech news world with a hypothetical yosmac or yosphone would actually be loving epic

sure, but if you give a poo poo about gpu accelerated rendering you're not using a mac for editing

but doubtless apple's gpu will be the second coming for all those final cut pro users

apple are such enormous gently caress ups with the mac pro

stop trying to do something special, either give up on pro poo poo entirely (which is clearly what they want, they seem to just keep it around for the halo effect on other products) or just make another cheesegrater in a normal case. everyone who would buy one loved that form factor

if its profitable (which it almost certainly is) theres no reason to give up on the pro branding.

they did that though, apparently no one bought it. if i had to guess, because it costs as much as a pro workstation, and everyone willing to spend that much for a pro workstation moved off of macs in 2013 when they stopped making the cheesegrater pro the first time.

I assume the headband is aluminum. can you tell if the tubes are hollow?

e: i guess they must be. can you just post a picture of the top of it, especially a close up of the Y joint? i am curious about manufacturing

ifixit did a teardown of them, that should tell you what you wanna know about that, cuz I don't!

so far I would say that, after listing to a bunch of music and podcasts, and watching some 7.1 stuff on Netflix and Apple TV, they're good. sound good. feels alright although a little heavy because of the metal. after setting it up on my iPhone it showed up on all my other apple devices and did the trade off stuff automatically. it's nice.

the case is totally poo poo though. don't get what they were thinking there. feels bad to hold, already has scuff marks on it, doesn't cover the headband at all.
