I love how marketing listening to music is still like "uh, this will rock you"

Truly inspiring that Apple found a use for all those Mac Pro cases nobody was buying."

Does anyone care about stereo any more?

stet, Monday, 5 June 2017 19:15 (six years ago) link

Those with two ears?

Ned Raggett, Monday, 5 June 2017 19:16 (six years ago) link

tbf I have no idea what "stereo" means. two-channel audio? a home system for listening to music that's not attached to your television?

mh, Monday, 5 June 2017 19:17 (six years ago) link

Auditory nerve brain implant projection field reception resonance. Surely.

Ned Raggett, Monday, 5 June 2017 19:19 (six years ago) link

I just for a second thought about an audio file format where you don't have two channels, but a preferred location/depth stream for different parts of the audio

tbh even the mid tier home audio receivers now have the little dongle where you can run through a setup routine to adjust to the acoustics of your room, it's just the audio we're playing doesn't care as much about that

mh, Monday, 5 June 2017 19:21 (six years ago) link

every audiophile who has perfected their home for an exact number of channels would go insane

Wow, Michelle Obama is the new CEO of Apple.

Comey’s gonna use that speaker to listen in on me. Worried... :-(

i don't necessarily trust apple, but they do seem like the only company with the ability to build voice-activated hardware that doesn't also have shitty institutional DNA re: surveillance and privacy.

agreed, all indications are still that they have no interest in scraping data for reasons other than guiding their own product decisions, which would mean general patterns

the syncing of iMessage conversations seems really nice, but I did start gritting my teeth thinking about the additional data transfer/security bits

it maybe a cynical move motivated by money in that they've identified a influential market (tinfoil nerds) and a profitable market (parents worried about their kids being surveilled/marketed to). i am totally fine with that.

isn't that like most biz decision

i n f i n i t y (∞), Monday, 5 June 2017 19:41 (six years ago) link

I think it's partially the fact they don't like marketing any products other than their own and don't want to help people market theirs, unless it's something they sell at their own store

mh, Monday, 5 June 2017 19:42 (six years ago) link

google still thinks of themselves as a company that sells ads, then services, then software, then hardware afaict

the google car will keep asking you if you want to go to wendy's

GO LOOK AT HER INSTAGRAM STORY

can u link to instagram stories on the web or just pics? hook us up, dude

mh, Monday, 5 June 2017 19:48 (six years ago) link

followed her and didn't see the story

I keep waiting for the iPad to truly be able to replace a laptop for Photoshop. It looked pretty good today until the demo with the image editing software ended up with this "professional looking poster"

tbh have you seen the new spider-man movie poster? this is... comparable

mh, Monday, 5 June 2017 20:29 (six years ago) link

I haven't seen the demo, but Affinity's osx software is pretty nice.

Saw a photo of Grimes in front of an Elektron Machinedrum at the WWDC for some reason.

So I'm going to buy one of these new 27" iMacs. Probably swap the fusion drive for 512 SSD. Seems like upgrading RAM on an imac is easy? Thinking I'd go w/ 16gb then later on add 16 more myself, instead of paying all the extra for 32 from Apple. i7 much better than i5 to make it worth the price?

dan selzer, Monday, 5 June 2017 20:45 (six years ago) link

upgrading RAM on 27" - yes, easy (can't do on 21.5" iirc)

i7 instead of i5 - i don't think it'd make an appreciable diff unless you're encoding video or something

龜, Monday, 5 June 2017 20:50 (six years ago) link

i7 gets the better gfx as well though right?

stet, Monday, 5 June 2017 20:52 (six years ago) link

My parents want a new iMac - is the memory still user-installable on the 27 inch models?

El Tuomasbot (milo z), Monday, 5 June 2017 20:53 (six years ago) link

looks like all the 27" iMacs have discrete cards xp

龜, Monday, 5 June 2017 20:58 (six years ago) link

xp yes ram is user-installable on the 27's

Nhex, Monday, 5 June 2017 20:58 (six years ago) link

i'd take the i7 money and put it towards the graphics card tbh. i have the 1st gen retina imac with the graphics upgrade and certain graphical stuff still doesn't feel snappy (i.e. expose is pretty laggy)

龜, Monday, 5 June 2017 20:59 (six years ago) link

both the better 27" models have either i5 or i7, regardless of the graphics card.

dan selzer, Monday, 5 June 2017 21:00 (six years ago) link

\(^o^)/

the ghost of markers, Monday, 5 June 2017 21:02 (six years ago) link

but that's a good idea. If I go w/ i5 instead of i7, I can upgrade to the better video card w/ 8gig of RAM instead of the lesser one w/ 4gig.

I might just do it all though because fuck it.

dan selzer, Monday, 5 June 2017 21:02 (six years ago) link

lol "i feel like steve jobs"

π” π”žπ”’π”¨ (caek), Monday, 5 June 2017 21:04 (six years ago) link

weird, the bump to i7 is 100 dollars LESS in the fanciest model.

dan selzer, Monday, 5 June 2017 21:04 (six years ago) link

what about changing the hard drive in these iMacs? Is that a total pain?
