getting the maxed out 14", 64 GB RAM with 2 TB, trading in my 2019 16". it's overkill but that's sort of the point. it's so obviously the best computer that's ever been. it's been so long since i've actually been excited about a computer. i don't understand antinotchers. the entire thing is the menu bar essentially no longer takes up screen space. it's 16:10, plus the menu bar. The screens are actually .2" bigger than their model names because that's the menu bar. it's free real estate

oh word? so they're cool with letting you just lose your cursor behind the notch or does it have a gimmick like it's too big? i guess they could do something like scale the cursor up like in wiggle mode or glow the notch or something dumb like that

Achmed Jones posted:ha well we'll see i guess. i hope you're right. and that they aso dont take a chunk out of video. just make it go black! yeah apple has released developer/design documentation on the notch. https://twitter.com/settern/status/1450208760270446594?s=20 unless app developers opt in, full screen doesn't get notch, just like on iphone (legacy apps/websites, not video). basically the notch doesn't use up your screen, instead, you should think about it like 'hide menu bar' is turned on but you can still see the menu bar because they have added an ancillary screen like the touch bar but to put the menu bar on it. the notch doesn't mean that the screen real estate they added is compromised, it means that you get the screen real estate back that the menu bar has been stealing from you these past long years ya dig

they'll pull out another adjective from their history, Extreme to stay on brand or Power if they want people to feel the fuzzies and since it has to be used plugged in they will probably use that in the next version of the "mac pro" because it won't be like a mac pro at all since i doubt they're going to do expansion cards and its getting too complicated. Mac Extreme or powerMac. If it's powerMac expect a rainbow case chaosbreather fucked around with this message at 02:16 on Oct 20, 2021 |

spatial audio is pretty wild sometimes, I was watching the keynote in bed on my iPad Pro with my airpod pros in so as not to wake up the gf and I had to keep taking my earbuds out to check that the sound wasn’t coming out of the speakers in truth the actual point of it is it’s part of apple’s gradual socially acceptable AR project that has been ongoing for more than a decade. watch is a glanceable display, transparency mode and special audio is audio-based AR, AirTags are object tracking and detection and the lidar they put on the phones are for environment scanning. folks get all worked up about headsets but they are actually pretty unnecessary. with a bit more time you could easily imagine the current set of stuff doing stuff like making things around the house sound like they’re dinging when they need attention even if they don’t have anything to ding, or having your shopping list items call out to you as you walk past the aisle.

neither that’s just been by pet theory I will shout at anyone who is listening. useful ar is just an extension of a philosophy that Apple has been going on about since 2000 when it was called ubiquitous or invisible technology. any watch lets you know the time whenever right - you can know the time any time wherever you are with the slightest intention. ar - good ar - is that, carefully and slowly crafted with the consent and buyin of the world around you for about two dozen individual things. right now AirTags will beep and you can find your keys. tomorrow they could beep virtually with your AirPods on and you can still find your keys but without letting everyone in the office know you lost them. if you aren’t literally trying to murder someone general on the street AR’s only social good is to prevent you from making such an arse out of yourself all the loving time. not to spy on people and take creepy pictures without people noticing.

even if that camera was remotely usable, that has less screen real estate than the new pros because the notch means they add on more space to the top. pro = 16:10 screen + menu bar - notch. also lol windows

Jenny Agutter posted:generally when things ar ehidden there is some indication like a little '...' item. we see this everywhere. but apparently things can just be covered by the notch as I said there is no contingency in mac for this behaviour, no …, no nothing because out of the box this never happens. the notch just makes it happen 10% sooner. and the 11” has so much less real estate than the 14” with the notch and that’s also fine and has always been fine. so it’s definitely a deficiency of the os but it isn’t new and it also doesn’t affect anyone who isn’t trying to make it happen.

https://www.raycast.com/ has been extremely needs-suiting lately it's early days still, but the cmd-space screen is actually useful which is a nice twist. if you have a meeting about to start, it will have it preselected for you, and the primary (enter) action is to open up the call in zoom or whatever it is. it also has some deep integration into a bunch of poo poo, it's neat

KOTEX GOD OF BLOOD posted:the notch would be fine if the concomitant area were always black, and just used for a properly working menubar, instead of requiring users to enable this on a per-app basis through a properties checkbox. this is the "tesla windshield wipers hidden in a submenu" of apple that checkbox is just a temporary compat thing for apps with too many menus for users with too many status items. how you described it is exactly how it works except that it’s not always black unless you make the top of your wallpaper black or use one of those apps floating around

tim made the best laptop ever, a tiny, beautiful workstation with a screen with a set of features you can’t even buy anywhere else, that sips power silently, and gave you extra screen for your menu bars that you dont even have to use, that's trivial to make vanish, that gives you a very good webcam, in a world where they are suddenly very important. zero compromises unless the user voluntarily and repeatedly crawls into the most useless lovely HID-breaking CJ-vomit they can find. and a tiny vocal section of violent homophobes lose their goddamn minds this is exactly why they have so many hoops to do sideloading on iOS btw. because if apple ever gives them an sharp enough edge those shrieking bigots will stab themselves in the eye and scream "someone help, apple is stabbing me in the eye" they only apply this to apple. this is because these violent homophobes know three things: 1. tim cook is gay and michael dell and GPT-3 and xi are not 2. apple are the heroes, who must be held to a higher standard, like the avengers 3. in their hearts they have accepted that they are evil and must destroy all good things chaosbreather fucked around with this message at 01:12 on Oct 30, 2021 |

found out that the model i ordered (14" with everything maxed out except 2 TB SSD) was available to just pick up from the apple store so I don't have to wait two weeks more and I scammed $500 off too. i was going to trade my old 16" in too but I'll flip it instead so that's even cheaper. so pro tip if you're waiting, check for pickup availability this thing is amazing, it genuinely feels futuristic in a way apple's stuff hasn't been in a long time. the notch rules, it makes me happy every time I see it, which is almost never

Clark Nova posted:if apple reintroduced a wifi router today it would cost $800 i bet apple's networking strategy is closer to amazon's than anyone else's. right now they've made an pretty insane mesh network, the Find My network. it's still in the early stages but it turns every apple device into a mesh node for finding poo poo and its one of the biggest networks on the planet. there's a lot of technical challenges with making one that could serve data directly on, but they have a lot of money and a lot of engineers and it's a cool project. your iphone and your apple tv and your mbp and your homepod are your mesh routers, so are your neighbour's and their neighbours, all the way to an apple store or apple node or muni wifi or whatever. free encrypted p2p internet for every apple device everywhere, gently caress the carriers, gently caress the isps, gently caress the feds. if your friend down the street has fibre, they can friend you, and then your chain just has to go down the street.
