"Inside Microsoft’s mission to take down the MacBook Air"
The not-yet-for-sale Windows "Copilot Plus PCs" are beating M3 MacBook Air (slightly) in Microsoft's home field testing (battery life and benchmark performance)
When will these machines be available?
How will their costs compare to the M3 MacBook Air?
Will Apple release the M4 MBA by then? If so, will the CoPilot PCs still win?
Der Ausverkauf beginnt, wer möchte gerne eine, aber Achtung keine EU-Garantie. Da kommen bei mir so einige Fragezeichen auf wenn ich das in einem Schweizer Mitarbeiter Shop vergünstigt kaufen könnte.
The sale is starting, who would like one, but beware, no EU guarantee. This raises a few question marks for me if I could buy it at a discount in a Swiss staff store. #Apple#VisionPro
I got the huge ‘puter working (2011 17” MacBook Pro).
Really slow under Sonoma lol
I found a macOS install CD in it, so I’m using it for the size reference
This thing is so funny
@verge
Love it when tech companies like #Apple or #Microsoft fuck up and reveal their true nature. Still an #iPhone user because it works but I know how to use a faraday bag as well.
tiny lifehack for those with airpods and who use ear protection
as you know, airpods and many other earbuds don’t play well with hearing protection muffs. the stem is too long, and pushes against the earcup and your ear. ow!
solution is to flip the airpod upside down, with the stem pointing upward. depending upon your ear size, the bud will still fit in your ear canal, and the stem will be under your ear. no more pain, and the earcups will seal properly.
Don't even try using an old iPad Pro magnetic stand with the new models because they won't work, the iPad will slip, and so you could even damage your new device.
Gotta hand it to #Apple#findMy. Lost my AirPods in a giant ball pit and was able to locate exactly where to dig it look for them. Was shockingly accurate.
#Apple#AppleNews#Media#Journalism#News: "At the moment, Apple News is as good a partner in Big Tech as many media companies are going to find. Almost every publisher Semafor spoke to said that Apple paid well and directed eyeballs to their longer, more ambitious work. While some of the articles surfaced by the app are algorithmic and based on user behavior, the company also employs a team of journalists — led by editor-in-chief Lauren Kern, a well-regarded former New York Magazine editor — who seem to prioritize putting quality journalism front-and-center on the app. As a reader, it’s a nice product, and in many cases a better reading experience than publishers’ own homepages and apps.
But the partnership also raises some of the questions publishers avoided during the peak social media era. It incentivizes users to subscribe to Apple News+ rather than to publications directly, likely cannibalizing some potential revenue. It’s driving editorial decisions, meaning publishers are once again changing their content strategy to placate a platform. And of course the company could wake up one day and decide, like Facebook, that it no longer really wants to be in the news business, leaving news publishers stranded."
Happiness. I can now reveal that I was stupid and left my iPad in the bus from Toledo to Madrid two weeks ago (on a Saturday). I followed it in Find My and saw that it returned to Toledo and stayed there. I went there the following day, but of course the ticket office wasn’t open on Sundays and even if I saw it was some metres away I couldn’t get it... I eventually got a reply from #Alsa that they do have it there and I can fetch it on a weekday so here I am now and yes I got it back. Whew.
If #iOS was really clever, it would notice that you are in bus/train/etc and ping your nearby devices/#AirTag items frequently once you stop, to be able to tell you right away “dude, you left your iPad/hat/bag in the bus, go back now and fetch it”.
It did tell me now that I left the iPad, but too late. We were already hundreds of metres away, in the metro station, and it took like five minutes to go back and by that time the bus had already left.
We cancelled Prime awhile ago, so yesterday we decided to get Apple TV+ as we've never had it.
I am VERY aware of all the shows to watch- I've been making a list for months from friends, reviews, recommendations.
My question is, what good #movies are #streaming? I have no clue & would like to NOT scroll for a zillion years to see what they have. #Horror a plus, but all recs appreciated.
Ja, natürlich kann man von einem #FotoBug sprechen, den #Apple schnellst möglich schließen wird, um seine Kunden vor dem #GAU zu bewahren. ...
Was für ein Käse.
Apple hat wieder einmal bewiesen, dass es sich weder an die eigenen Worte hält (30 Tage Speicherdauer), noch an Gesetze. Apple ist erwiesenermaßen eine #Datenkrake, die einmal erhobene Daten wie einen #Schatz hütet und den Kunden über die Existenz belügt. Das ist ein offener #Vertrauensbruch.
