Steve Jobs showing Andy Warhol, Keith Haring and Kenny Scharf how to use a Macintosh computer that Sean Lennon received for his 9th birthday.
It was October 9, 1984, and Steve Jobs was going to a nine-year-old’s birthday party. He’d been invited just a few hours earlier by journalist David Scheff, who was wrapping up a profile of the Apple Computer wunderkind for Playboy. Jobs was far from the highest-profile guest, however. Walter Cronkite, Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Louise Nevelson, John Cage, and singer-songwriter Harry Nilsson were also in attendance. And Yoko Ono, of course—it was her son’s birthday, after all.
Despite the last-minute invitation, Jobs had managed to bring along a gift for the young Sean Lennon. A few hours into the party—once cake had been served and the adults began to talk amongst themselves—Jobs asked Lennon if he was ready to open his present.
It was, naturally, a Macintosh computer. Released in January of that year, the machine was the newest of Apple’s personal computing products on the market. Jobs set up the Macintosh on the floor of Lennon’s bedroom, demonstrating how to use the mouse by opening up MacPaint. The boy was enthralled by the program, initially sketching a few simple shapes with the paintbrush tool and then moving on to a sort of camel-lion hybrid.
A few of the adult guests wandered in, including Warhol and Haring. Warhol took one look at the computer program and turned to Haring in wonderment. “What is this? Look at this, Keith. This is incredible!” A few minutes later, Warhol asked if he could take a turn in front of the monitor. Jobs explained how the mouse worked, but the artist instead lifted it off the floor and swished it through the air. Finally, Jobs put his hand over Warhol’s and steered it along until he’d gotten the hang of it.
After a few minutes in concentrated silence, Warhol glanced up. “Look! Keith! I drew a circle!”
That night, Warhol recorded the episode in his diary. He’d told Jobs that a man had been calling him repeatedly, trying to give him a Macintosh, but Warhol had never followed up. Jobs replied, “Yeah, that was me. I’m Steve Jobs.”

It often happens that my wife has different weather forecasts or temperatures than me. I finally figured out that my phone is displaying weather for "Frankfurt" while hers is "Frankfurt am Main" which basically is 100% the same city.

- Maybe your phone thinks you live in Frankfurt (Oder). :PContinuity
- No, it’s the same Frankfurt. You can’t even have both forecasts on your phone, Apple doesn’t allow that.SimonFFM

I know this thread is mostly for shitting on Apple. But this is a pretty lovely site put together by Work&co in collaboration with LoveFrom (Jonny Ive's new company) who created the typeface.

anybody tried this workflow yet?
- This is the best workflow we've ever made!utopian

- what is it? I have m iPad and m Mac do I need to do anything to enable this workflow?_niko
- You need a hipster magazine job, where you put pink text on a yellow background to enable that workflow.shapesalad
- I meant using ipad pro + external displaygrafician
- anyway very confused, adding the external display makes ipadOS multitasking like that?
that I was asking if anybody tried thatgrafician - Hipster workflows never sleep.Chimp
- iPad OS with StageManager feature is only about to be released. It sure is more powerful now for multitasking.NBQ00
- i use my ipad as external screen for my M1 MBP and it’s great. doesn’t require any additional apps and is a feature called sidecar, i believe.scruffics

I got one of the new M1 Max 16" MBP's for work today. Fully maxed out and an upgrade from my 2019 MBP.
Glad to see the MagSafe back and the magic whatever bar gone.
- Yeah that bar was complete shit.Continuity
- Using it for?
Got the Pro and it's overkill for UI work
But must admit, it's the most beautiful laptop I've ever used!grafician - UX work, Adobe XD, Photoshop. Overkill I'm sure, but I'll never turn down a fast machine.mg33
- Fair, enjoygrafician
- ironically those m1 max laptops are a bit shite for 3D/Motion. Too powerful for UI/UX/GraphicD... too weak for 3D/MotionG. And pricey for it.shapesalad
- I have one too. Display is stunning. But I use it in clamshell mode with a Dell monitor 95% of the timenb
- I’m really looking forward to my next MBP without a TouchBar.instrmntl
- is the magSafe on both sides or just on one side?hotroddy
- @hotroddy left sidegrafician
- I have the base M1 Pro 16” and it’s amazing for UX and some light video editing work.Chimp

iPhone 14 Pro is the most ridiculous name for a product
A phone for... pros? Do they mean like influencers? Professional tiktokers? People who answer support calls in a WFH setting? 911 operators? Who are these phone professionals?
Nah, the Pro comes from MacBook Pro which made sense at the time. Pros for people doing professional creative work. And the i comes from iMac, right? That was the first mac with internet sorta built in?
So, two of four parts of this name are just carried over from other products and have no relevance to the product. The two parts are “Phone” (like duh, but who uses the phone app anymore, maybe your elderly parents) and then “14”. 14? Lol.
So, ok, products have dumb names. But come on, this Apple company is treated like marketing gods and for... this?
- Maybe they’re marketing gods because they’ve managed to make a product called iPhone 14 Pro one of the most desired products in its categorynb
- Definitely they should simplify the product line, focus and only go with iProduct and iProduct Prografician

macOS Ventura Release Issues
We've had an increase in support tickets this morning relating to users upgrading to macOS Ventura and encountering issues. We would recommend that you refrain from upgrading today. Historically an update occurs quickly, and the x.1 version is far more stable.
- grafician-1
^
LOL
- i honestly don't get this urge to upgrade anymore. the "improvements" are little more than gimmicks that really add nothing to the experiencehans_glib
- Yes, you can just buy a new machine and keep the original OS on it forever. Just add the security updates - but no main OS upgradegrafician
- 10.14.6 was the best, is the best.... refusing to upgrade.shapesalad
- Untick that automatically keep my Mac up to date!!!! That just enables a world of pain.shapesalad
- i'm still rocking snow leopard on one machine and high sierra on the other and laptop. don't see any reason to update further, they all do everything i need.hans_glib

"Rumor: Apple's M2 Max chip with 12 CPU cores (8 Performance + 4 Efficiency) and 38 GPU cores will debut with 14 & 16" MacBook Pros. The "M2 Ultra" & "Extreme" could have 24-48 CPU cores and 76-152 GPU cores and debut with the Mac Pro."

Is it safe to install Maverick?
- Continuity1
So, uh, yeah.
If you use a Wacom tablet, don't install Ventura. It breaks the drivers, and renders the tablet useless.
And — Wacom being Wacom — there aren't any new drivers for Ventura yet.
Ask me how I know.
- My old Graphire one finally stopped on the latest update. :-( Nearly 20 years it lastedPhanLo
- I wouldn't care *so* much if I owned a mouse to use in the interim ...Continuity
- Cos using the MBP trackpad when it's on a lift next to a full-size monitor is a real pain.Continuity
- Wacoms still work well on Big Sur?
Since the iPad pro arrived my wacom gathers dust...grafician - Problem solved-ish. Was a security thing in Mac OS, but still ...Continuity
- await for whoever is behind this to update: https://github.com/t…shapesalad
- I still use my Wacom on Big Sur. That0s why I refuse to install Maverick. That and because of Rane SL2 Serato Boxoey_oey
- Wacom vs iPad...well, I prefer Wacom because it's not just the same display in small, I can use it with two displays and to work with vectors it's far betteroey_oey

And, it's generally a much more comfortable way of interfacing with the device, if you're not using it casually.Continuity - How to left click with wacom without it moving off a few pixels from where you intended to click?shapesalad
- How do you knowdrgs
- Because I did it!Continuity
- The whole OS or app update breaks Wacom driver, update comes six months later thing happened back in the Mac OS Classic days!evilpeacock
- Wacom just seem to abandon things now, rather than bother to update.PhanLo

1, 2, or 3?
Usage: photo editing and music production.
Will keep this computer at least 5 years, using it less than once per week.
1. MacBook Air Refurb M1 (previous gen) with 256GB and 8GB ram for $849
2. Same refurb as above but 512GB and 16GB ram for $1189
3. New MacBook Air M2 (current gen) with 256GB and 8GB ram for $1199
The question comes down to: is a new M2 more valuable than the extra ram and storage?
Which would you buy and why?
- 2 for your needsspl33nidoru
- if anything you need an external screen more than you need a M2spl33nidoru

- 2grafician
- 2 btwkingsteven
- 2. I'd go for more RAM over the M2. You'll likely appreciate the extra HD space too.nocomply
- I feel like the performance increase of the M2 is worth the less RAM and HD ...monospaced
- Air has like zero ports though. Are using MIDI controllers? I have 8 USB ports used w/ my Mac mini (via thunderbolt adapters).section_014
- Yeah ports are a concern. How many dongles or hubs will I neednb
- I have 1 cable in my MBP charging over USB3 running a 4k monitor, 24in audio interface, 8 port Belkin hub with synths, iPad, drives and all sortskingsteven
- i find the real problem is that if i don't have a hub with me i can't plug in any USB-A devices. so 3 USB-C ports doesn't solve muchkingsteven
- Yeah 99% of the time I can keep it plugged into external display via usb-c thunderbolt which has plenty of ports on itnb
