Looks like the M1 is a beast indeed
- Was waiting for this post! :)
Seems like Apple's new architecture is a paradigm change.Nairn - Funny that £5m worth of apple products stolen in the UK on the motorway called M1. Coincidence?shapesalad
- Can't wait to see what the M2 or M1X or whatever Pro version delivers.
I'm a PC, and I'm hard to this shit.
I think I might go Apple.Nairn - utopian must be so happy to see apple not innovatingmonospaced
- @monospaced Stop bullying.

- As an animator this seems like a toy. I need a machine with at least 32GB of ram...ideally a lot moredkoblesky

- @dkoblesky: first of all these new batch of M1 machines are not necessarily meant for real pro (even though you can do it) stuff except maybe the 13’’ mbp...NBQ00
- ...secondly maybe you should try a M1 MBP with 16GB first before you can say it’s not enough. Maybe the M1 with 16GB is like an intel with 32GB or even 64GBNBQ00
- Which is why an iPhone only has like 6GB of RAM but feels snappier than a Samsung with 12GB of RAM.NBQ00
- @dk there’s a huge chance that the idea of NEEDING an amount of memory comes to an end. Especially if what you have is this efficient.monospaced
- The current M1 blasts through rendering jobs without getting warm. Beats a 64gb system using only 8gb (Cpu only). Says a lot.monospaced

Apple: Project Titan Far From Dead.
Summary:
Apple has acknowledged its work on autonomous vehicles publicly for the first time.
Despite rumors of being canceled or at least scaled back, Project Titan appears to be moving forward.
Apple is betting on autonomous driving capability to provide a crucial advantage over competing EVs.
Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) has sent a letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) acknowledging that it is working on self-driving cars. The letter requests that NHTSA facilitate testing of self-driving development vehicles on public roads, as well as provide standards for data sharing and privacy. When Apple starts talking privacy, you know they're serious.

- They say they are going to be years ahead over everyone else..how, exactly, with no cars or testing partnerships? Or did I miss something?formed

- Existing Evs don't drive themselves is what it means, I suppose. They will be shortly though, so apples late to that anyway.monospaced

Just done two weeks on the surface pro 4. First PC in 2 decades. Back to my mac now. Like windows, like the touch screen / flexibility, but so many little annoyances that add up to just loads of time and being pissed off. Bloody hell.
- for example?mekk
- Sounds like jogging around the block twice and giving up on the marathon. Familiarity takes time.formed
- maybe your annoyances are fixable in the settings or caused by 3rd party apps?mekk
- Craig sums up my windows experiences also but yeah mekk has a point.since1979
- scaling, impossible to type '—' on surface keyboard, backup to only one local drive, battery is rubbish... 'Fixable', probably but the time spent 'fixing'...nocraigatkinson
- the keyword is "First PC in 2 decades"drgs

Why is that so difficult?!detritus - Also, apparently, ' [Ctrl]+[Alt]+-' which I didn't know til I just googled it.detritus

yeah so, this is not innovation anymore, this is improvisation.
No more Jobs, no more Ive, the "original plan" is no more.
After this year it's uncharted waters with Apple.
Sure, they still have 200 billions in the war chest, but everything we've seen so far was already planned and executed, but from now on...
And you guys know I'm right.
- it'll be like the final seasons of game of thrones after the writers ran out of material from George RR Martin..._niko
- After this year? Steve died 10 years ago ffs. Apple is more successful than ever. Launching their own silicone too.monospaced
- innovation never sleepsutopian
- they need a new CDgrafician
- they have enough cash on hand to buy innovation... they aren't exactly in trouble. as far as being a necessary creative tool as in decades past...jonny_quest_lives
- that's an entirely different proposition... Unless they outright purchase Unreal Engine who has become their most potential problematic adversaryjonny_quest_lives
- according to Google "Apple now has $193.82 billion in cash on hand"jonny_quest_lives
- They go out and buy/acquire Unreal Engine and Red Camera they would have a strong foundation in Virtual Production and then could create a Pro Line of desktopsjonny_quest_lives
- specific to that market segment just to have the bragging rights/retain their Think different Ethosjonny_quest_lives
- nice trygrafician
- Atari didn’t make money by selling video games, they made money by creating Chucky Cheese for constant revenue.instrmntl
- In modern times that translates to app subscriptions and fees.instrmntl
- The real money isn’t in the hardware.instrmntl
- not saying it ever it was but a lot of the complaints about Apple no longer innovating seem to be from people in creative industries...jonny_quest_lives
- who hold on to those powerful memories of that sart up chime on their first "pro" machine... then u hit a certain age and a hammer is just a hammer...jonny_quest_lives
- and the only reason you fire up a mac is the font library you've acquired over the years because if you need to push pixels that can be done far cheaper on a PCjonny_quest_lives
- oof @ buying Unreal. Apple saddled themseles with garbage AMD gpu's that don't even have RT yet. Their current line of PC's are already obsolete for 3D work.face_melter
- holy fuck it's an endless echo chamber when it comes to Apple. Has been since the first Mac in the 80's.inteliboy
- theyre a service platform like google now. hardware is just the vehicle to maintain the ecosystemtrooperbill
- "they need a new CD" -to continue the analogy instead of that they released a "greatest hits" album and went on tour. As some have pointed out, creative typescherub
- are gonna feel personally attacked over this perceived abandoning of the "think different" ethos. That's ok. Remember when alternative music went mainstream? EWcherub
- I agree that I prefer the Jobs/Ives era when elegantly designed product breakthroughs were the norm.instrmntl
- were they though?monospaced
- no. people have always hated apple. always hated Steve Jobs. and always hated their new products.inteliboy
- Fuck apple, slow as shitmoldero

- Well at least mono is impressedset

- can't listen to phone while charging it, need special headphones for my phone vs everything else... if this is true, I'm glad I'm on android.zarkonite
- They haven't made this decision it's just a charger mixed in hahaset
- I would imagine it's cheaper to produce isn't it? They're always removing details from laptops. Battery indicator etcRanger

- these will only work if they do wireless charging.dorf
- @dorf, where did you read that?monospaced
- that means you wont be able to charge and listen music at the same timeBennn
- If Apple allow wireless charging it will be locked down somehow - they don't even let other companies use the iPhone's NFC chip.face_melter

Anyone have the AirPods?
I'm looking for a small, wireless pair of everyday headphones. The price is steep as hell but I like how small they are. Do they sound good enough? Are they worth it?
I have the JayBird x3 for working out and they're great but I can't wear them for more than 2 hours without my ears hurting.
- https://www.popsci.c…
how about some cheap good ones.uan - Had great luck with wired Jays; they JUST released a wireless version:
https://www.jayshead…ideaist - AirPod sound quality is pure shite, as with regular Apple earbuds. Get a pair of Bragi's - Comply foam tips, decent battery life and a great fit.face_melter
- I'm on beats for 2 years, never ever let me down.helloeatbreathedrive
- I have a pair of Bragi 'Headphones' and they sounds great, with nice audio transparency when you need to talk.

- Never had them, but I see them on the sidewalk from time to time. Also did someone just recommend Beats? LOFL, ignore.garbage
- They're awesome. Buy them, you have 14 days to return them if you're not happy. Worth a shot.ArmandoEstrada
- Great stuff gang. You gave me a lot to chew on. I'm taking a long hard look at the Jays ideaist, thank you!kona
- zark, the Jaybirds stick into your ear-hole. The airpords do not.kona
- Airpods have the same sound quality as wired iPhone earbuds which is madness at that price. I have Bose Soundsport which is semi wireless but great sound.CyBrainX
- https://www.bose.com…CyBrainX
- if you have an iPhone i couldn't recommend the AirPods more. The seamless pairing / unpairing is worth it alone.bogue
