Well those files are to keep the view/presentation settings. I guess you could do that centrally with some sort of database but that would open another can of worms; and most importantly you wouldn't be able to transfer a folder a

That's one of macOS pitfalls: the inability to open 2 instances of the same app, simply using the default GUI is annoying sometimes. I think Windows is right in that matter...

XLD is great. The best thing about it is the heavy parallelization if you have many cores to throw at the problem. You can convert mountains of albums very fast. Love those type of OG Mac indie software.

Do you have any sources/informations on an objective comparison of encoders quality ? Way back then (iPod era), I made an exposé for a science exam (small paper), proving that AAC was indeed better than MP3 both subjectively and object

Ah yes that's right. PowerPoint appearing first on Macs is not surprising because historically Macs have been focused on DTP applications, and were much more powerful for that (still true this day). It took quite a while for Windows t

You got it all wrong. It was developed for Macs first because Microsoft is in the business of selling software and Windows wasn't such a big thing back then, in fact it barely existed as Windows, it was mostly MS-DOS still. Microsoft d

Because Microsoft takes a least effort approach to porting for macOS. Not that they should do otherwise in my opinion. Office runs much better on Windows and has more functionality.

That was before the Tim Cook bean counter takeover. Apple used to be generous with accessories and stuff before too. Now they even remove stickers to save a few cents per device. Apple still makes good hardware but the scrooge attitude is

The 14" MBP has a 72 watt-hour battery and the 16" has a 100 watt-hour battery. At full tilt an M3 Max will consume 50 to 75 watts, meaning you get 1 to 2 hours of runtime at best, if you use the thing full tilt. That's the t

They also feel very bulky/innelegant while still being fragile for the most part and not really hitting workstation level territory. I don't understand how people are enamored with those things, sure it's better in some way t

Well that's not a cheap phone but yes if you are going high-end, it's probably a better experience than a comparatively priced iPhone. Of course, the browsers are problematic for memory but that's not new and hilariously the

Unless you want to use your cheap 4k monitor as an equivalent 1080P display (which is not a lot of space for today's standard) it's not at all viable. 2560 is actually 1440p and no, it's not very good, even with BetterDisplay

Yeah sure I know that, which is why I relate my experience to that is the result of those engineering choices. It's pretty funny that you need special hardware to keep nice macOS font rendering to stand in comparison to Windows. Micros

Are you idiotic? I can play the game too.

Yes that is exactly the kind of use case the previous iMac shined at. Which is why I think it's bonkers they want people to put so much money into their standalone display, it's way too steep for the use case and you don't n

It's kinda true but also not at all. In general, having better single thread performance means a more reactive UI and snappier feeling because blocking operation gets executed more quickly. On the other hand, many modern software havin

Right there that's my experience as well. I doubt the Magic Mouse defenders use their computer all that much or even use a Magic Mouse at all. That thing charges annoyingly slowly and uses battery way faster than reasonable.
678.
by seec 2y ago
They are just lazy and cheap and can't admit they were wrong. That's it. Because the current Magic Mouse is basically a battery version of the previous Magic Mouse that used swappable batteries. As far as I'm concerned, they

Welcome to reality. The one where most Apple products actually have a problem with them but for the most part many of their rich customers do not see them because they appear further down the line. Usually around 3 year mark and further. Bu

Yes that's because they don't price match. If they would, the Apple computer would still some better things about it but it wouldn't win a lot of benchmarks, if any...

Yeah that's pretty much the problem with modern Apple hardware. If you just want a computer to do casual "home" stuff they feel very overpriced for what they will allow you to do, even though the design and build quality are

Yes that's mostly the reason. But considering there are report of display issues like we used to on poorly cooled Intel iMac (those things would get to 90 degree at the PSU, being over 50 degrees on the aluminum case outside) I would s

People buy their hardware for entirely different reasons than what you make up. They have financial success but that doesn't mean much. I have had 2 Apple Watch and I mostly find it to be a deeply flawed poorly thought product, especi

Ah that's cool, it seems to be better than the one Samsung released. And the price is not too bad. Is Asus going to make "cheap" Macs better with their display offering, that would be kind of hilarious. But yes, if that displ

A 2004 G4 iBook has been unsupported for any software for decades, let alone Chrome who was first released in 2008. I don't know if they actually ever made an official PPC version of Chrome but I doubt it. You are a liar but a bad one.

Yeah I'm pretty sure it's all solely profit motivated. Under Tim Cook, Apple followed the religion of the minimum profit margin very carefully. They just don't sell stuff that they can't extract 50% margin of. With that

Yeah Numbers is nice for making cool layouts and convenient for its multi-table functionality in one page but it's also very lackluster in so many ways (no pivot for stater). But the worst thing is by far its abysmal performance. Even

Jobs was extremely pragmatic, which is why for all his fault Apple would always come up with a desirable technological solution. Most things said about Jobs are pop culture caricature derived from peoples talking shit about him (mostly beca

No, they do. They just don't understand enough about technology/computing to know what's going on or they don't care (or at least pretend to, because they don't have any other experience). It's really crazy tha
