Apple Laptops

would also bet monies you also have bluetooth. in the menubar there is usually a hieroglyphic-style "B" icon for bluetooth that you can click and select to activate. P.S. wii controllers work on bluetooth.

newest macbook pro EFI update fixes my flickering screen...nearly 4 years after I bought the damn thing.

10.9.1 is out...and items in the finder still take a year to show up...should never have upgraded from 10.8

hey y'all

i'm looking to get a new integrated amp for my turntable and CD player, but the main thing is that i want an amp that can accommodate bluetooth streaming from my macbook. sick of either having to plug in my laptop (or iPod) to the receiver directly, or just listening through my laptop's teensy speakers.

do you folks know if you can reliably stream stuff from VLC (which can play more audio formats than iTunes, like e.g. FLAC) via bluetooth? i really have never done this stuff before so i'm a little in the dark. and how /far away/ can you stream audio to another bluetooth device? if my computer is upstairs (2nd floor) and the amp is downstairs, will they 'find" one another?

not sure if there's a digital-audio/streaming thread that i should post this to.

I don't know anything about it either but this might help (or might not,) School me on SONOS and other home streaming systems

I know this is First World Problem but I absolutely HAVE to buy a new MacBook Pro today knowing full-well that the new MBPs are coming out in 3 months.

I'm essentially buying 3-4 year old technology when the next gen is just around the corner.

I'm thinking I should just get a refurb with low memory capacity to keep it as "cheap" ($1,099) as possible and then flip it in November.

Any thoughts?

Worst possible timing. Can't you beg or borrow another laptop to make do until then?

I'm afraid not, my current build is not robust enough to handle the processes I'm sending it and the next 12 weeks of projects are pretty critical for me.

You could aways go to Tekserve. Oh wait, no you can't, not anymore.

my macbook crashed and I was just going to go to the apple store tommorrow to fix it and/or get a new one, y'all saying I should hold off until the next series comes out?

Definitely.

I got a 16” pro and the sound is pretty amazing. First time I’ve ever heard honest bass on laptop speakers

agree

I have a 2016 Macbook Pro running Monterey 12.7.4. Everything seems fine except that for a few months now, I've been getting a weird pixelated effect on the display, most notably in text displayed in browsers, but also in some videos and other documents. For instance, as I type this in the Add a Post box in Chrome, there are strange, faint underlines below some of the text that seem to shift and reform as I type. Switching windows and/or scrolling sometimes clears it up temporarily.

Any suggestions for what this could be?

2016 means could be flexgate related https://www.macrumors.com/guide/flexgate-macbook-pro-display-issue/

Thanks. It doesn't really look like the flexgate pictures I have seen, but the display top of the laptop is also way looser than when new so maybe related.
