blessingx Posted June 5, 2023 Report Posted June 5, 2023 Any thoughts on why they didn't have a single presenter with one on their head?

HiWire Posted June 6, 2023 Report Posted June 6, 2023 I'm curious about the M2 Ultra benchmarks... otherwise, a bit of a snoozefest. macOS Sonoma dumps the 2017 Macs... a bit too soon, for my taste.

Yeah, when I mentally rewound the presentation, they kept comparing the M2 Ultra with the M1 Ultra, not the M2 Max. WANT.
HiWire Posted June 6, 2023 Report Posted June 6, 2023 The audience laughed when they mentioned the Mac Pro's $6,999 starting price. 1

I'll give them credit though, they really went for it. No Oculus ripoff here. If you mean the Mac Pro, I have no idea. Most people who want that kind of compute power either DIY their own boxes or rent by the hour from Amazon. I guess if Mac OS is a requirement along with massive computational power it kinda makes sense, but that’s uncommon. Maybe for running proprietary hedge fund code. If you mean the Vision Pro, I’d find it very handy as a replacement for a bunch of external screens. It seems capable of displaying remote desktops. I could use a much smaller desk if I didn’t have to put a 27-30” screen on it. Or I would just pile my desk with even more audio hardware. 🙃
Knuckledragger Posted June 7, 2023 Report Posted June 7, 2023 Not worthy of its own thread: Drobo is Officially Done as the Company Moves Into Liquidation. For years I used one as my primary backup. See here on my very crowded desk, a decade ago. 1
morphsci Posted June 7, 2023 Report Posted June 7, 2023 Yeah I gave up on Drobo about 15 years ago. I could never get it to work the way I wanted to so when it came time to upgrade I went with a Synology NAS and never looked back.
Knuckledragger Posted July 10, 2023 Report Posted July 10, 2023 Squeak squeak. Apple's energy efficiency is nothing short of amazing, but their marketing is crap. Squeak. Spoiler Knuckles are you really picking on Linus for having such a high pitched voice? That's really petty of you. 1

TMoney Posted September 12, 2023 Report Posted September 12, 2023 So unrelated to today's announcements, does anyone here use the spatial audio for music? I keep trying it and keep bouncing off it. Is 2-channel audio with headphones a problem that needed solving?
HiWire Posted September 13, 2023 Report Posted September 13, 2023 (edited) Don't know about spatial audio... that would require buying new, expensive hardware. Some engineers still struggle with stereo mixing and mastering, so I'm not in a hurry to complicate things. I thought the announcement was very anticlimactic... the iPhone 15 Pro's A17 claims incremental performance improvements and features like ray-traced graphics and AV1 decode. A 10% and 20% increase in performance from the A16 is hardly a quantum leap. Also, they discontinued the iPhone 13 Mini, which made me sad. They may continue the small format phone in the next iPhone SE update. Edited September 13, 2023 by HiWire
