    2014 vs 2015 – The specs look identical – so which one is faster?

    And by faster, I mean, performs well under a high CPU load. It's an Macbook Pro 2014 vs an upgraded 2015 – what do we think? Web search seems to say they're pretty identical. https://www.gumtree.com/p/macs/13-quot-macbook-pro-retina-2015-2.7ghz-i5-upgrade-to-500gb-ssd/1345506590 or...

    Apps optimized for Swift 5

    i was wondering if there is a list with apps that are already updated and optimized for Swift 5. For example, the latest Facebook app did get some improvements. The app is booting faster on my device with the latest update. Not sure if this comes because it uses the Swift 5 code now.

    iPhone Cercube v4.2.2.10 Download Time

    Been trying to download an audio only file and noticed it's taking FOREVER...and if the iPhone goes to sleep, the download stops and completely deletes. Suggestions? Back when I used YouTube++ or ProTube, this never happened as speeds were always under a minute or two.

    Change Fusion Drive to SSD or upgrade RAM for photo editing?

    NAS serving low speed

    So I have a problem with my NAS just giving me around 10-15MB/s write and ~20MB/s read. This is a WD EX2 with two WD RED 4TB discs. I've done a lot of troubleshooting, but now I'm completely lost. Connecting the unit directly to a computer with an Ethernet cable gives speeds of over 100MB/s, so...

    Optimum sample streaming config for 5,1 Mac Pro

    I'm getting a 2nd 3.46GHz 12-core 5,1 Mac Pro specifically for audio sample streaming via VEP6. I'll probably go the DVD Bay route for the OS SSD to maximise available PCI bandwidth and I'll probably put a GTX 680 in slot 1. That leaves slots 2,3 & 4 for PCI SSD cards. The aim is to optimise the...
