Tried this. Still don't like it with Atmos in the music app. Maybe it'll be better for video content?

[TMoney]

Well this should be fun to test out on the trails this weekend!

That number next to SPY on the other hand... that is not a number we like to see.

You mean you can't use the digital crown to adjust it to a value more of your liking?

Only Jerome Powell's Apple Watch has that feature.

If only!

Shakedown hike complete.
 

It’s kind of cool how the Apple Watch has gone from a goofy communication device with watch 1 to a full on health and fitness device today. It’s a great training companion for aspiring weekend warriors like me

My first experience with MM Wave 5G at Ohare in Chicago. This is legitimately impressive speed for a mobile phone.

Did Apple do something fucky with outgoing message tones recently?  My sainted, octogenarian mother wants to hear an audio confirmation for an outgoing message (both text and email) and her iPhone (running the latest OS) will not.  I have diagnosed part of the problem.  It looks like the iPhone only uses an outgoing message sound with the stock Mail app, not the GMail app.  I'm mystified as to the outgoing text message tone.  There isn't even an option to change it in Settings as best I can make out.

As I've mentioned in other threads, my entire life is in boxes right now.  As part of switching this house to a "skeleton crew" I dug up a "flat" Airport Extreme that I had mothballed years ago and fired it up.  I had it up and running in under 20 minutes.  I really wish Apple still made AirPorts.  Their east of use is unparalleled.

New M2 Mac Mini and MacBook Pros announced today... performance gains, increased RAM, improved battery life... increased prices:

LOL

1:41pm -- OWC Larry informs me
2:40pm -- Apple informs me
4:36pm -- other retailers begin to inform me

OWC Larry really has got the inside scoop!

[HiWire]

The claimed performance gains are decent. I'm looking forward to the benchmark tests.

It looks like the M2 iMac is delayed or waiting until the M3, and fanboys are already enraged about the Mac Pro.

I'm particularly happy about the increased memory... today's high-performance applications are becoming more and more memory hungry.

My wife (through her company) has been doing some work with iPhone apps. She's the biz dev side, not the programming side. How difficult would it be for someone with no prior programming experience to learn programming for iPhone apps?

I'd probably not dive straight in with Swift development for the iPhone, the learning curve will be somewhat steep, if you've never programmed before. Better to explore the fundamental concepts somewhere more friendly first, an introductory Python book/course might be good, it's a popular teaching language. We are not born with an intuitive grasp of things like object polymorphism and inheritance after all

14 years later.  This might be a record

Does Kattefjaes mean Necro Posting Troll in some language? This is not the only one today even if it is a record.

As long as 24/192 doesn't mean MQA, I could be interested.

[blessingx]

I definitely thought that was vaporware.

The Mac Ginger does not like the new HomePod.

I've seen spectrals of some of those Apple Hires products and seem to be sampled at 44.1KHz

Classical Music app is out and they've done a nice job with it from my experience.
