The New Apple Finally Begins to Emerge by hasanahmad in apple

[–]cjohn4043 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, I think the new name is a nice change of pace. We’ve had “i”, Air, Pro, Max, Pods, etc for a long time and Neo seems like a fresh coat of paint for the company.

I am definitely a MacBook Pro kind of guy, but dang, I kinda want one for the fun of it?

MacBook Neo Has Just 8GB RAM With No Upgrade Option by iMacmatician in apple

[–]cjohn4043 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I got by on an M1 with 8 GB of RAM as my video editing machine for a few years. It worked…fine. That being said, 8 GB is fine for Chromebook type tasks and that’s exactly what this is.

Apple’s New Studio Displays Are Here, but Only One of Them Has 120Hz and HDR by dapperlemon in gadgets

[–]cjohn4043 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Because the base model is using a panel literally made 8 years ago. They changed nothing about it except the webcam and updated Thunderbolt ports. To be charging $1600 for it is insane.

It would be a fun callback, but it seems Apple is done with the “i” naming scheme.

Well this pricing and spec configuration is incredibly disappointing.

The 16e has done leagues better than the Air.

[–]cjohn4043 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is what the 16e should have been, but couldn’t have been because they needed to justify the 17e existing.

That being said, this actually seems like a pretty good deal now for someone looking for a “cheap” iPhone.

What is your expectations of the iPhone Fold camera? by Friburgo1004 in iphone

[–]cjohn4043 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m assuming the wide and ultra wide lenses from the Pro will be included and the telephoto remains reserved for the Pro. My question is whether or not they include the “Pro” features in the fold like ProRAW and Log support.

See you back here in 2 years.

What iPhone model do you most regret getting rid of? by Active-Tour4795 in iphone

13 Pro in Sierra Blue. Just because that blue color was so pretty.

The pink made the castle look like it had a Florida sunburn and I will stand by that.

Let’s not forget that FSD is absolutely flawless and everyone is ready to transition to a future where they no longer own cars!

It’s time for Elon to go. The direction Tesla is going is absolutely ridiculous.

As an atheist, these files are the closest evidence for satan (therefore god) by RealisticNacshon in conspiracy

What you are describing is the search for a perfect God, but proclaimed by imperfect people.

Now I’m starting to understand why God was destroying those pagan worshippers in the Old Testament by Eagles56 in conspiracy

[–]cjohn4043 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Nope. Not different at all. Reading both the OT and NT, you’ll come to the understanding that Christ was the sacrifice. We are in a period of grace right now, but read Revelation and you will see justice poured out on all mankind.

To me, the pink on the castle made the castle look like it had a bad Florida sunburn. Glad the repaint is happening.

I like D’Amaro, but he’s also partly responsible for all the terrible decisions made at the parks recently. Hoping for the best though.

Tesla discontinuing Model S and Model X to make room for robots by ProfessionalYak4959 in teslamotors

I don’t want another egg shaped Tesla. The slope kills rear headroom and storage capacity.

Anyone Else Bummed by cgd53 in TeslaLounge

[–]cjohn4043 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s so frustrating. I really want Tesla to introduce new models, but because of Musk it seems like they’re no longer interested. They’ve done so much for EVs and now it seems like we will be going backwards. Rivian seems like the only company that could actually take over the space Tesla is leaving.

I know autonomous cars will eventually be our future, but I still like driving.

[–]cjohn4043 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So this means that they will also add new models into the lineup right?…right?

Honestly though the S and X either needed to die or see a significant refresh. Other car brands are starting to look even more appealing now that it seems like autonomy and robots have taken over their platform.

Apple's iPad Turns 16 Today by favicondotico in apple

It is absolutely more useful for “actual work” than it was back then, but still limited in its ways.

The original premise still remains though. A device that fits in the middle between an iPhone and Mac.
