Can someone recommend a good USB-C hub, not necessarily for speed but for charging lots of things. My monitor doesnβt have enough ports anymore.

the keyboard works, but the touchid bit doesn't on intel macs IIUC.

get the anker one that has the ports you need.
usual deciders are whether you need 1) unusually many (3+) usb-a ports 2) ethernet 3) sd reader. if you need one of these three you basically have to get one with all three of these three.
other thing to watch out for is power delivery. if you have an m1 this shouldn't be an issue (they draw like 30W) but if you have an 16" intel mbp then you'll need 100W.
e.g. one of these (there are others)

is this steve jobs insult response of the highest quality?

― Karl Malone, Saturday, 4 September 2021 14:35 (two years ago) link
not an entertaining response or insult, but he handled it pretty well

I expect that was the highest quality response Steve Jobs ever gave to someone who tried to insult his representation of Java's level of integration into the concept of Open Doc during a public Q&A.

So I guess everyone else is pretty nonplussed by the event today? I think I'm still gonna stick with my 11Pro.

so did they end up not adding a temperature sensor to the watch, or did it just not make it through federal approval yet? I want it to alert me if I might have a virus

iPad mini looks perfect for me, except the mini 5 is perfectly fine and so I donβt need it. Itβs so hard to care about the rest of the incremental grind on show

I'm probably going to trade in my Xs for a 13Pro, but enh... no big hurry at the moment
― Elvis Telecom, Tuesday, 14 September 2021 20:52 (two years ago) link
Yeah... also XS owner here, if the trade-in is good enough I'd be tempted to bite on a 13 vanilla or mini

Iβm only interested in camera sensor size. So the question for me is whether there is again a difference between the pros.

Guess theyβre the same. and the regular models get last years pro max sensor, nice.

it's more
― π ππ’π¨ (caek), Monday, 18 October 2021 17:25 (two years ago) link
what else i'm looking for: wait and see but pro sounds like it might only support two (maaaaybe 4?) thunderbolt ports again. max will certainly support 4 (maybe 8).

― stet, Monday, 18 October 2021 17:27 (two years ago) link
I don't even know what a thunderbolt port is so maybe I'm more of a pro guy -- or are you saying people need 64gb ram? (I am at 16 on my current mbp)
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Monday, 18 October 2021 17:29 (two years ago) link
they have been very careful throughout to mention notebooks only. no mention of macs or mac pros. will be surprised if there's not an imac pro though.

― stet, Monday, 18 October 2021 17:31 (two years ago) link
thunderbolt is physically the same port as usb 3. the current m1 macs are limited by the chip (not laptop size) to two usb 3 ports. i personally don't care, but it's an ongoing complain. these new chips will hopefully raise that limit.

― π ππ’π¨ (caek), Monday, 18 October 2021 17:34 (two years ago) link
only 3 usb c ports but the addition of magsafe makes that ok imo (and the usb c's still support power delivery)
