"Apple today updated its vintage and obsolete product list to designate several 2013 and 2014 iMac models as obsolete. These Macs were previously on the vintage list, but are now considered obsolete and are no longer eligible for repair."
My trusty 2013 iMac is still going strong... damn you apple.

Apple Watch Ultra? Worth it?
Discuss.
- okayutopian
- My elder brother has it strictly for the size and durability (he’s 6’3’ and 350). IF you can justify just 1 of its “ultra” purposes I say go for it.ideaist
- I’d use it for agility cycling ‘ running for example; the battery life and apple ecosystem make it appealing BUT i have an SE (works fine).ideaist
- I also like the design, it's not the usual apple watch toy-like designgrafician
- I’m a longtime apple guy, but why should/would I buy an Apple Watch? I’m not overly “active” (running, cycling etc). What’s the hook?hardhat
- That's why I asked, maybe you guys see something I don'tgrafician
- The watch acts as mediation between you and the phone resulting in less phone use (a good thing IMO). You can determine what is important and what can wait...ideaist

Finally installing Monterey, if my Rane SL2 doesn't work anymore then not so bad.
If my Wacom has issues I'm gonna be really pissed.Wish me luck!
- look on GitHub for wacom fixesshapesalad
- thanks but it's actually working!!! :-Doey_oey

Since 13.1 is now out as of last week, anyone update? Macupdate seems recommends it now, but I'm still hesitant.
- I updated last week to Ventura from Monterey. Besides some really horrible UI/UX updates....Ventura has been stable so far.utopian
- There's a slowdown with SSD I/O in the current Ventura + ExFat issues: bit.ly/3VaAfg2evilpeacock
- Thanks guys. I’ll probably still hold off. I’d like to be able to synch my music since I’ve update my phone already. First world problem for sure.kaiyohtee

“The 4-bay Duo Dock MP allowed docking of multiple PowerBooks Duo; turning them into a single powerful multiprocessing Macintosh. A prototype 16-bay double-wide Duo Dock MP was the fastest photoshop computer on earth for 17 days in 1997.”
- Had no idea this existedNBQ00
- But whyinv
- er.. no.
lolNairn - In case anyone didn't know, this is one of Dana Sibera's fakes.
https://twitter.com/…evilpeacock - Yeah, the PSing's quite evident on the eject buttons at right which are mostly out of perspective, never mind the logical ridiculousness of this beast, hehNairn
- If we could have actually tapped this level of multiprocessing back when the Duo was shipping it actually would have been pretty amazing!evilpeacock
- If memory serves, these were barely even shit processors each.Nairn

So, my 14" 2021 M1 MacBook Pro is demonic.
I shut down every night, but leave the lid open, and the fucker turns itself back on. Last night it did three times, waking me up every time.
Google returns few viable explanations, and I'm guessing it's a hardware issue.
Ugh.
- why do you leave the lid open?Ianbolton
- check in the system logs.uan
- Innovation never sleeps?sausages
- Leaving the lid open is demonic.ideaist
- Apple. Not even once.********
- Good one, sausages!palimpsest
- Super wierd; Other than "Wake on LAN" toggle and the startup scheduler there's nothing in the OS that would allow that!evilpeacock
- Look at Wake on LAN. Try shutting the lid.comicsans
- Yeah, Wake on LAN was set to Never. I'll see if shutting the lid solves the problem (but I doubt it).Continuity
- Can you setup the new-ish focus mode scheduling? Just set Do Not Disturb for sleep time. That might do the trick.Centigrade
- Heh - i experienced that myself back in my Mac days. So weird.jagara

Quick question... Is there any real reason to get the newest Apple TV over an older one (like this 2021 model https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0933B… for ~$60). I just want to put it on the bedroom TV so i can watch Apple TV+ shows in there. I think the TV in there is, like 6 years old, and i don't think i need crazy gaming power or SuperHD 16k stuff. Am I missing the something, or are the older ones perfectly fine?
- prices have really gone up!utopian
- I got the previous gen ATV 32GB at a steep discount a few months ago, with the "new" remote to replace a 2nd gen ATV. Works great!evilpeacock
- ...is also waaaay faster than the old ATV I had and supports newer things like H.265 streaming over LAN from my computer's video library.evilpeacock
- I don't think you'll get much benefit upgrading from a 2021 model to now, esp. if you still get OS updates; The biggest changes recently are the remote.evilpeacock
- cool cool. thxhardhat
- haha. which one of you buggars bought the last one!hardhat
- Wrong utopian. The price has gone down almost 50% with the newest release but I’m not surprised you can’t handle being triggered like an Apple fuckboi.monospaced
- Definitlu get the older 4k. No use buying a HD 1080 versionmonospaced

It's possible that the M2 MacBook Pro's will be announced today:
- NBQ000
Aaaaand they're out: https://www.apple.com
- NBQ001
- Mac mini gets the pro chip too, niceNBQ00
- Finally. The “Mac” I’ve been asking for. A mini case with the power of a pro machine.monospaced
- @monospaced; premise seems sweet, eh? We've been using an M1 mac as our "family" mac; small imprint and as power as it needs to be.ideaist
- ^ Sorry, M1 Mac Mini.
*thumbsup*ideaist - So the M2 is just 10-15-20% faster than M1 - not double the speed. Cute.grafician
- Did anyone expect double? Nope.monospaced
- Anyway. The M2 has been out awhile so no surprise :)monospaced
- Define "awhile" 'cuz these laptops are the first using the M2 Pro and Max
And yes, many people expected at least 50% up in performance vs. M1sgrafician - It's not just about percentages. On M1 you could only have 64gb ram in MBPs. Now you can up to 96gb. Also HMDI 2.1, etcNBQ00
- Love that they're using CHAI music in the opening.stoplying
- The M2 chip originally was a similar boost from M1. These are just the larger iterations of Pro and Max from the same lineup. Boost is as expected.monospaced

I've got the M1 Mac Mini and love it. It was an upgrade from a 2017 iMac.
I can get $390 in trade-in value for it. Primarily use it for Logic Pro and Lightroom, some PS work but nothing super intensive. Logic Pro performance is most important to me.
Make sense to upgrade given the trade in credit? I'd love to get a Studio but can't spend that kind of money. The Mini M2 Pro with 1TB would be about $1,100 after trade in.
- Wait for the M3s.
These new chips barely worth the upgrade.grafician - Or you can wait for the M4s. They’re gonna be much better!jmckinno
- I would only consider it if I felt like my current machine wasn’t up to the task.monospaced
- Wait for the M3s.

Faster. Fastest. 20% faster. 3x faster. Faster yet. Amazing. 30% Faster. That's over twice the memory. 3x faster than the M1. 50% more than m1 max. 13x times fast than a popular pc. Faster. Fastest. etc
We've gone from thinest to fastest... ever! on a Mac.
Right... so which one runs AE well and doesn't crash every 20mins?
- Also... I need that 'Immigrants' sweatshirt! Awesome. Love it.shapesalad

"Just tried pricing out our $52,199 Mac Pro's at the office for trade in, which you can still buy from Apple, $52,199.
What else has dropped 50x in value in 3 years.. besides crypto?"
