Went to check out the iPhone 15 Pro & Max at the Apple store. And I'm just still not convinced to switch back. I still like the Samsung S21 FE 5g version better design wise.
What annoys me about iOS also is how slow the UI animations are. In Android I can speed it up to really quick in developer options but Apple doesn't allow such tweaks.
I guess will wait for iPhone 16 and see if it will be more attractive then.
- ripping yarn, my good fellow! positively breathtaking!face_melter
- Old man yelling at cloud.ideaist
- Why would 16 be different? Fan boys lap up anything apple produces. Buy their stock, not their products!formed

- It’s 10% faster and he’s saying that’s a problem. Weird.monospaced
- To me more disappointing is that this "3nm" isn't really that efficient in terms of battery. Still the same battery life or worse + overheating.NBQ00
- That’s because it’s 10% faster using less energy. Do try to keep up.monospaced
- What’s disappointing is an equally powerful PC uses 5-20X the energy to do the same. Absolutely pathetic.monospaced
- Yeah because this is arm based and we now got used to the magic. And maybe got sucked into the 3nm hype saying 30% battery usage reductionNBQ00

Anyone running Sonoma yet?
*am scared
- NOOO! I just finally updated to Ventura. Screenshots now take for ever, images I download take longer to show up in the downloads folder, not a fan so far.bulletfactory
- Of course; resistance is futile (as always)...ideaist
- I just installed and it seems ok
Nothing new just the same old shitAQUTE - Looks a bit more window-ish, but let’s be real... Mac OS has been shite now for north of a decademaikel
- I skipped a few OSs and jumped straight to Sonoma on my M1 Pro. Seems to work well enough, although I've still got files everywhereIanbolton

Considering the piles of cash Apple has, it's amazing how extraordinarily shitty areas of their software is. Not in big ways, just irritating ways.
eg. The "frequently visited" section on a new browser tab in Safari is full of thumbnails that I rarely visit at all....
One of them is the appointment page of my doctors clinic... a page that I've visited maybe 3 times in the last 5 years. What kind of dogshit algorithm has apple slapped together for that to be included... every single other thumbnail is also equally as moronic.
- Conversely: Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are far superior beasts (IMO) to Word, Excel, and Powerpoint (all of which I refuse to use).Continuity

Apple unveils M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max

- The configuration I need to run LLMs locally is > $6Kzaq
- @Innovation never sleeps, like @Utopian, eh?
; )ideaist - how the hell are you meant to do anything with 8GB memory. love my M1 Max but very easy to max out 64GB with LLMs or anything Adobekingsteven
- Doesn’t it handle memory in a totally different way where it doesn’t need as mi h?monospaced
- much? I’m still on their last intel model until next year.monospaced
- not in any practical sense. if you need 64GB of fast memory nothing else will do. there are some things it is genuinely terrible at...kingsteven
- i do push it hard though. i'm often editing 100GB mp4s without proxy or running some demanding process like AI or gif of the day on Chrome browserkingsteven
- my M1 is a supercomputer compared to any intel mbp though (i moved from an i9 hackintosh that would rival any intel mac pro to this as my main machine)kingsteven
- i broke a lot of my own rules by going for a first-gen mac too, would love to try one of these M3 to see if it would be a worthwhile upgrade.kingsteven
- but yeah i very much doubt any model <48GB would cut it for AE / LLMs / fine-tuning/ unproxied large video fileskingsteven

Wondering if anyone experiencing my sudden, bizarre iTunes issue. I'm in latest iTunes in Monterey, all up to date.
I have a usb thumb drive in car with my curated playlist folders - some songs purchased thru iTunes, some from other sites like Bandcamp - so AACs and MP3s.
I copy/paste songs from my MacBook iTunes playlist directly into folders on my mounted usb and this usually works like a charm. Today it (iTunes) has decided that some songs can be copied over and some can't, not even to a test folder on my local desktop.
However, if I show in finder that blocked song and drag it from the source folder it copies over happily per usual.
DRM is old news so shouldn't be an issue. In fact some of the blocked songs are Bandcamp DRM-free MP3s!
So what's with iTunes suddenly copping an attitude, applying blocks if copied/dragged from the app?
- Sorry 'Music' not 'iTunes' but you get the ideaprophetone
- SOLVED and so so dumb - obviously there are behind the scenes permissions floating aroundprophetone
- and after a spell of only sleeping your machine, like for weeks, it eventually gets all confused but all secret likeprophetone
- I rebooted fresh and performed music app copy/paste overs and everything is just warm and happy now, no hiccupsprophetone

- They're all pretty bad. I hate 1-button mouses. Logitech makes the best.NBQ00
- I only had the round one once. 99,999% I used Logitec.stewart
- Third from the left is the only one usable for long periods of time. none of the rest are in any way ergonomic.microkorg

- That puck was so shitty. I recently showed my son the 2nd mouse and he was amazed how awful it looked.bezoar

- The third one was the best (Sign's I'm getting old)fooler
- Furthest right is the best simply because of gestures. Come on nownb

- Yeah I never enjoyed their mice. Agreed on Logitech.monospaced
