350 fucking dollars for a mono speaker holy shit
[QUOTE=meppers;52315772]350 fucking dollars for a mono speaker holy shit[/QUOTE] Don't forget to buy two so they can work together.
[QUOTE=icemaz;52315745]I found the unsold mac pro cases[/QUOTE] I'm still shocked that Apple are just ignoring the Mac Pro and the Mac Mini now.
For $350 I don't think I'm at all interested in what is basically a "smart" Bluetooth speaker.
ok so im back to deciding between google home and alexa thanks apple
[QUOTE=KnightRider25;52315813]I'm still shocked that Apple are just ignoring the Mac Pro and the Mac Mini now.[/QUOTE] I'm not. iMac is probably Apple's most popular desktop computer out of everything they have so after seeing Surface Studio popularity among professionals they had to respond ASAP. I can't really say it's a direct Studio competitor but it's something... And didn't they say that they're going to reveal new Mac Pro next year?
[QUOTE=Wii60;52315435][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/twyiPVA.png[/IMG] [img]http://i.imgur.com/1D9FaVa.png[/img][/QUOTE] It's probably the Pro version of the Vega card (or it damn well should be), so really that price is probably to be expected.
I may be wrong here, but some of popular macos apps that can use gpu for faster processing only support (or perform better) Nvidia's CUDA. Like some Adobe applications, Autodesk Maya, DaVinci Resolve, Side Effects Houdini, The Foundry Mari and The Foundry Nuke.

Holy shit I am so behind the times in computer hardware What is this Vega thing, omg why does seem too good to be true wtf is AMD doing why are they so good now.

[QUOTE=Wii60;52318082]no one really knows what vega does, but they expect a ryzen tier event where it makes nvidia angry. ryzen came out and fucked with intel because it was as good* or exceeded** their chips at like half cost[/QUOTE] *Except in the many applications where performance is lower **In pretty specific applications But yeah, Ryzen has definitely been a success for AMD, but it is pretty sad that it doesn't clock higher - if it did, it would've been a home run. A fair bit is actually known about VEGA, actually - chances are performance will be between a 1080 and a 1080 Ti, but it's a bit hard to say because it's the first real new architecture from AMD since the 7***-series. Big VEGA will have 4096 shaders like the Fury X, but run at ~1600MHz and unlike the Fury X it won't be bottlenecked by its geometry output, which, as I understand it, hampered the Fury X's performance. VEGA also utilizes something similar to what Nvidia introduced with Maxwell - some sort of "tile based rendering" that basically allows you to avoid doing some unnecessary work as well as to lower the memory bandwidth you need, as you're handling smaller individual workloads. I'm [I]really[/I] not an expert on this (or hardware in general), though, so don't ask me to explain it. Question is whether Vega will be enough at the right time, or too little too late. Will it improve efficiency so much that AMD can catch up to Nvidia in that department, and can it match their performance? A whole different question is whether AMD can supply enough of these cards - they're launching a pro edition first (meaning low supply at first), and if I'm not mistaken, they were showing Vega hardware running Doom back in December; you can speculate why (I'm gonna say HBM has delayed them), but that's a pretty long time from having an engineering sample running at high enough clocks to produce something impressive looking to actually having a (pretty limited) launch. Would be sad for AMD to have a kick-ass product that they can't produce enough off for the first long while.

Getting Android vendors to update their shit is a lesson in nailing your dick to the wall. Holy shit just update your phones within a year of release it's not that hard surely.

Biggest thing I hate about buying iPhones. Bought the 6s when it came out and since the 7 came out I can tell my phone is getting fucked by updates. First update post-iPhone 7 my phone slowed down significantly.
[QUOTE=hexpunK;52320137]implement planned obsolescence super hard by fucking older phones up with new iOS versions.[/QUOTE] Unless you've got significant evidence to back this up, it's most likely pure coincidence. Yeah I've had iOS updates slow down my device, but usually a later update fixes that slowdown. My friend has an iPhone 5 running iOS 10 perfectly well. It's also well known that new major iOS releases (soon to be 11) slow down older devices at first, then Apple fixes it in minor updates later on. iOS 7 was the worst I remember for slowdowns, crippling the iPhone 4. I assumed it was partially down to the whole redesign, but I've not heard of anything as dramatic as that since.

But after owning a iPhone, 3G, and 3Gs it started to become a problem whenever a major update rolled out and just pushed me away from their ecosystem. Never really saw them fix it in later updates either myself. And from seeing my parents using their iPhone 4 and 5 they had similar problems. Perhaps it's not done maliciously, it's kinda hard to prove short of someone from Apple confirming it directly after all. But it's a genuine issue people have experienced. Pushing out updates that will not function well on the hardware (particularly their older devices) just isn't good for the user, creates bad UX and just seems like a way to push them on to newer models. It's a shame that I can't stand their pricing, because software wise the phones aren't that bad, but perhaps hold off pushing the hottest new iOS to devices that clearly can't run it smoothly.
As Wii60 stated though, Apple use it as point-scoring against Android. They shouldn't push iOS updates to older devices straight away, but they will do purely for this reason.

They did their best to not use the words taskbar, windows and explorer during those iPad Pro demos :v: Multi-touch drag-and-drop was cool though
