> He stresses that you should focus on building a community, with the code and platform as happy side-effects of that community. Exactly, so license shouldn't matter that much. I'd probably be a lot more interested in…
Only the currently selected foreground application gets to use the TouchBar and display content on it. Which means apps distributed outside of the app store when they have focus are allowed to put whatever they want on…
$10 Billion worth of debt that is tax deductible as losses. "Tax credits" :P
Friend of mine who worked at Qwest in the early days and worked with Level3: "Interestingly enough, Level3 started out by building out the Qwest network as a contractor building out the fiber. Level3 in exchange for…
I completely agree with you. Micro-USB has already shown that it is not the best standard moving forward, it is already at it's end as manufacturers are replacing the port on devices with a USB-C port instead. So let's…
This still has the issue of not being able to use your car controls to control the music, but: https://www.amazon.com/Antec-Portable-Bluetooth-Receiver-Hea... Pair this with your phone, and plug it into power. When your…
Why are there threats of DRM with the DAC moved to the cable instead of the DAC sitting inside the phone (where arguably it has more control over the DAC than if it is sitting in-line on a cable)?
They could upgrade lightning to support USB-3... Lightning doesn't specify the USB protocol.
30 pin was introduced in 2003, it was finally replaced with Lightning in 2014 and thereby deprecated from use. That's a 11 year run. I bet those treadmills are not even that old yet.
Nothing. Since there is no relationship between the secure enclave on the keyboard and the laptop, TouchID won't function.
Vim user here... hence why it is mapped to Esc.
I have the shift key for when I want to type caps. I don't think I have EVER used caps lock to type in all caps.
You can't plug it into the wall adapter iOS charger, but you can plug it into a USB-C charger that comes with the MBP.
There's no reason they couldn't add a full secure enclave on a USB based keyboard with TouchID. Register your fingerprints into TouchID, they are stored securely on the keyboard, with some secure communication between…
They tend to tick-tock between Nvidia and AMD. Although this update is once again an AMD (Mid 2015 is AMD as well). My late 2013 was Nvidia.
Op didn't mention Thinkpad. Just mentioned X2 Carbon Something or other. That could be a jet plane from Lockheed Martin or a Thinkpad...
I had a friend in uni that was blind. He used a Mac for all of his work because he said, and I quote "It's the most beautiful OS I have seen". He wasn't just legally blind, he had absolutely no vision what so ever...…
Replace Chrome with Safari. Unfortunately Chrome is absolutely terrible not just for power usage but also for RAM usage. For some reason Chrome loves memory, it gobbles it up. Safari is much better about it. I switched…
2 at 5K... from LG. LG is making a 5K display. Apple got out of the display business.
Incompatible? It's still USB, just bring a dongle. Wait a year or so, that dongle will be obsolete except for older tech.
Except that it increases utility. I can now bring a single charger that can charge my MacBook Pro and my iPhone. I just need a USB-C to USB-C cable and a USB-C to Lightning cable. Charge my laptop or charge my iPhone or…
That would have been nice. I was hoping for Mac mini update too. I still have mine from 2012, and the newer versions don't really offer much over that version. Just upgraded the SSD in it from the fusion drive to a full…
No adapters in the box.
US sales taxes vary depending on state. There is no direct comparison.
As a professional software dev/system architect using MacBook Pro's, I am excited about the new MacBook Pro. I'll miss the SD card for my amateur photography, but I'll live. It's still got the 3.5mm for my headphones,…
