Most people get excited about new iPhones. I’m always more interested in Apple’s October Mac updates.
Mac Studio but it is made out of Muffins and can fold in half when you’re finished
I am hoping for normal quantities of RAM at realistic prices.
Apple’s ram is hand carved by blindfolded virgins with only the light of a blood moon. Thus the price.
It will be a giant cheeseburger case and they’ll call it “the big mac”
I hope they spend the entire week detailing all the bugs in macOS they intend to fix. It feel like the stability and overall qualirt has gotten real bad over the years.
They should slow down the major releases. No one is buying a Mac for new OS features. They are buying Macs for the processor, name brand, ease of use, compatibility, and/or they need it to develope software for Apple products.
I don’t know of anyone talking about how the new widget system works with the desktop and the quick sidebar now. Or how they have new video backgrounds. Or how they made thr login screen icons smaller for no reason.
I’ve stopped keeping up to date with major releases because I don’t really use any of the new features and it usually breaks my environment so I have to spend an hour getting things to work again.
This happened to me a few times. It forced me to stop updating until the software I need required it.
I reported a bug too late in the dev cycle and it hasn’t been fixed since 2009.
*qualirty
This is what I get for using Apple products for many years. The qualirty of my brain has gotten worse.
uh that was Siri’s fault
I see this sentiment repeated a lot, but what kinds of stability and quality issues are you experiencing? It seems similar to “back in the day everything was good but now it’s bad”.
There are a lot of small issues with the integrated apps, the most recent one being the search in Apple Music failing if I type in more than one word. Another issue I’ve experienced that if I plug my USB sound card in I will have to restart any app that is capable of audio playback or they will play the audio too slowly. This bug wasn’t there before 14.6 so I don’t think it’s an issue with my hardware.
In all fairness I’ve had some other bugs that have subseqently been fixed, but it has sometimes taken years and it’s frustrating when the whole mantra used to be “it just works”. Then again, maybe it never “just worked” and I’ve just forgotten about how buggy and bad it was in the past.
🥱
Say what you will, the Apple Silicon Macs are real fuggin good.
Just another person trying to belittle the passion of some guy on the internet.
It’s not Apple’s passion I have a problem with. It’s their products.
I guess you don’t read usernames
Barring an insane price jump, I may very well have a new little Mac Mini in a couple of weeks.
I’m very much due for an upgrade. But this one I’m using now has been really reliable for being 10 years old.
Introducing the new smaller Mac Mini! 25% the size, three times the price. We think you’re going to love it!
(I’m waiting on a M4 Mini too.)
One port!
Buy our special dongle to connect anything to it. It costs $200!
Also the port isn’t USB C, it’s proprietary, it’s not lightning either it’s something new.
Weirdly they are bringing back the PS/2 port.
