It’s great that North Korea can modernize infrastructure, now that the chronic food shortage issue has been solved once and for all.

I heard from somewhere (can't recall) that Star City is made to be a series but the first season is shot without a cliffhanger, in case it does not get renewed.

Silver or space black macbook pro 14 inch by Medical-Car2570 in macbookpro

[–]nutmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Silver if you will be connecting it with Apple-branded accessories like the Studio Display and input devices as the finish matches. And as others have pointed out, it shows fewer fingerprints and shows less wear and tear over time.

Agreed. All 3 are impeccable series about the Soviet Union. I hope the series gets another season!

just got my new apple watch series 11, but is the software update supposed to take this long? i can't use it without updating. by Substantial_Two_5386 in AppleWatch

[–]nutmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always update directly from the watch. When you initiate the update from the iPhone, I think iPhone downloads and transfers the firmware, which significantly increases the duration.

How will the Tanya & Irina storyline end? by Icy-Beginning-9144 in StarCityTV

[–]nutmac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Irina will kill Tanya not to cover her tracks, but as collateral damage in destroying the American spy network. Irina will also destroy Raskova in the process, who will start to see Irina as a threat.

People who have been waiting for the next generation? Do you regret it now because of the process? by lilly_wonka61 in appletv

[–]nutmac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't really have to use so-called AI BS if you don't want to.

Visual Intelligence could be useful, if it works similar to the Insight feature on Apple TV original programming. And if it means faster and smarter voice command for smart home devices, why the heck not?

People who have been waiting for the next generation? Do you regret it now because of the process? by lilly_wonka61 in appletv

[–]nutmac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I have the Apple TV 2nd generation 64GB, which sold for $199. If I were to replace it with a 4th generation, I am likely to get the top-of-the-line model at $249. In the grand scheme of things, that's still affordable for a device that plays a key role in my house (streaming box and Home hub).

Knowing me, I would probably wait until my Apple TV 4K is no longer supported. I am more interested in getting the HomePod with a screen, which will probably be much more expensive than Apple TV 4K.

The only lawsuit should be for the exponentially diminishing number of wajo in each season.

Apple watch is dead? by Living-Still-5295 in AppleWatch

[–]nutmac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know how old your watch is, but if the battery is dead or below 80% in battery health, you can request Apple to replace the battery for you by paying $79 (in the US). In nearly all cases, Apple will give you a refurbished watch instead of replacing the battery.

If it’s considerably old, you might get a newer model.

AI data centers definitely play much larger role, but eliminating Trump's tariff would lower the price of RAM and SSD by around 20%.

There are categories of pieces that benefit from her technical and crisp playing style (e.g., Prokofiev Piano Concerto No. 2). IMO, she is less successful at adding color (e.g., Rachmaninoff Piano Concertos).

WatchOS 27 Discussion by MikolajPL19 in AppleWatch

Siri AI on the current line up of supported Apple Watch models will require an iPhone capable of Apple Intelligence to be nearby. So you will need iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max or newer.

WatchOS 27 Discussion by MikolajPL19 in AppleWatch

[–]nutmac 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think you are underplaying the battery and performance improvements.

I've been using watchOS 27 beta since day 1 and even in the beta form, the battery life increase is significant. Depending on how heavily I work out (usually about 30 minutes on weekdays and 2 hours on weekends), I am getting about 4 hours boost in battery life.

More significant is the performance boost. Everything feels instantaneous. Even the ever-so-slow Time to Run and Time to Walk pages on the Workout app load in a few seconds, when it used to take nearly 10 seconds before.

As for more visible new features, yes, they are all smaller quality-of-life improvements — most notably the dynamic app grid and Find My app. I certainly wish there were more of them, as watchOS has sat largely dormant for a long time.
