- cordite 10y agoApple's "It just works" soundbite doesn't seem to ring anymore. Even recording over USB means no Wi-Fi
- intopieces 10y agoDo what now? Can you expand on this? Having trouble finding an article about it.
- cordite 10y agoNew Macbook Pro can't walk & chew gum at same time(watch wifi + USB = fail) [1] It was on HN last night [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYVjIjBMx6o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYVjIjBMx6o
- intopieces 10y agoIs there an article to accompany this? Apologies, I don't have the time to watch the video.

- fdomig 10y agoThe version of OS X on the new MacBook Pros (late 2016) will not work with existing Certified Thunderbolt 3 docks and adapters (released prior to November 2016). This is ridiculous.
- rootbear 10y agoSeriously. I would be interested in learning what, exactly, the problem is. Is there a genuine, reasonable shortcoming in the older chips that would be too difficult to work around? What's the point of something being "Certified" if you can't trust it to work in the future in situations where it absolutely should work?
- Fredej 10y agoPerhaps Apple will launch a thunderbolt-to-thunderbolt adapter to make it work.
- amorphid 10y agoBut it only works if you have a thunderbolt-to-'thunderbolt-to-thunderbolt' dongle on either end.
- fdomig 10y agoYou're just plug it in wrong. scnr
- akhatri_aus 10y agoAnd they removed digital audio from the headphone jack. It's quite a budget device they've been trying to make in all but appearance.
- Nullabillity 10y ago> in all but appearance And consumer price.
- zaroth 10y agoWait, what?!! That actually pisses me off, I used that jack to watch movies on the TV with DD all the time. I hate screwing with streaming this, AirPlay that, or trying to play it with another box connecting to the TV because inevitably there's some glitch or problem with the codec. I don't mind using a dongle to get HDMI, but I always relied on the optical output to go to my older receiver which doesn't have HDMI ports.
- alva 10y agoIncredible. Have any HN Apple insiders provided any info on internal opinion regarding the Macbook Pro furore? Apparently a popular nickname is Dockbook Pro
- sprite 10y agoHopefully they release an update within a year with a 32gb ram option. I was for sure buying a new MacBook Pro until I went to the order page and couldn't find the ram option. My late 2013 will just have to last another cycle.
- tdb7893 10y agoWhy do people need 32gb of ram? I can have 15 tabs in chrome, a music player, 3 windows of my IDE, and a word processor on my current 8gb laptop just fine.

- runamok 10y agoI think it's better to use cloud servers/containers once you have to run that many VMs concurrently but obviously that starts to cost more money.
- mvdwoord 10y agoIt's not only about the money. Connectivity is still not everywhere, and even if it is, bandwidth/latency issues arise. I really like having local data, local VMs and local everything. Sync when connected, but ready to go at any time.
- 464192002d7fe1c 10y agoYeah, I would gladly convert to using hosted VMs but I'll loose sync'd folders which I really need.
- 33degrees 10y agoThat's what I'm waiting for as well
