New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

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?

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

i7 gets the better gfx as well though right?

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

looks like all the 27" iMacs have discrete cards xp

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

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)

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

\(^o^)/

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.

lol "i feel like steve jobs"

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

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

yes. involves cutting through glue with a pizza roller + giant suction cups

do they use the samsung stick drives that aren't ssd? if not, they might by now

I just bought the fucking thing.

It's going to replace a 2008 Mac Pro.

about time!!!

so is siri ACTUALLY getting better or will homepod use its 900 speaker array to announce wikipedia entries

Yes

thank you

oh damn now I have to get another audio interface. mine is firewire.

rip firewire

“Apple today released a wireless Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad priced at $129 in the United States. The wired version has been discontinued.”

Let’s hope I don’t need another one of those.

Love too charge my keyboard!

when I got a new work laptop I decided to treat myself to a new keyboard for the desktop and I bought the microsoft surface wireless one

it is a pretty good copy of the apple one! it takes aaa batteries though, and they're supposed to last a year

the only weirdness is that there's no spacing between the alpha/home&arrow/numpad areas

oh yeah, and I had to break work's arcane "windows 7 is standard" policy for windows 10, because microsoft made it require bluetooth 4 which has the low energy profile. so it probably takes less energy than apple's?

These motherfuckers...

LUCKILY, I have a brand new one of those things on the yet to be used desk in my bedroom! And I’m typing on one to all of you beautiful people right now. But they’re being replaced.

And the new ones are over a hundred dollars for a fucking keyboard.

And you have to charge them.

And I know there's going to be an update that will cheerfully say to me afterwards, "The device connected to the USB port cannot be recognized..."

thanks, mh - those are terrible. Maybe made on iOS 11 alpha?

more like hollywood 2017

Yeah, I set aside the one that came with my current imac when I got it 3-4 years ago and forgot about it until a couple of weeks ago. Glad I've got a spare.

Given the lack of ports on anything Mac today I'm okay with a wireless keyboard. I used one of the Logitech ones for a long time.

Stop it!

I've got a Logitech at work, but it doesn't have the little green light in the caps key, which I miss much more than I would.

Than I thought I would... Too busy looking at markers' keyboard while typing that.

ugh $129, bullshit. i loved the wired one, but my newest iMac came by default with the short, number pad-less bt version

for $129 just get this (i have it and it's great)

Fun part about spending tons of money on something is it leads you to need to spend tons more money on other things. Now also looking at an OWC 4 bay thunderbolt enclosure. Fun times.

I'm thinking about getting an external Thunderbolt GPU thingy :(

Is there a specific date for Amazon on AppleTV?

Not yet.
