Why do wives never understand why we need to keep things for as long as they’re still serviceable, or for as long as they can provide spare parts.
My wife’s current obsession is trying to get me to dispose of the 30 odd old laptops I have in the spare room. They’re doing no one any harm. I’ve even suggested she can use one of the boxes as a footstool when she’s doing her crafts. But is that good enough for her, nooooo
Yeah, while that was an interesting piece of info., I couldn't see how that would be relevant to my calculation. My concern was your answer made it look like my calculation was missing something because of that, when it in fact it wasn't. I.e., if there is a problem with my calculation of how much bandwidth there should be left for CFExpress after accounting for HDMI 2.0, it isn't because of that.
I already broke down the core user example. The core users looking for a $1000 MacBook Air is not the same as those looking for the 16” maxed out notchbook pro.
...and last I checked 10GbE chips had huge power requirements. When I looked at a 10 GbE Thunderbolt "dongle" about a year ago, it was a box with a lot of heat radiating structures on it....
I'm not bandwidth limited. I'd imagine most people aren't in a portable machine. I'm port limited. I, and everyone who wants an additional port on the right side of their machine can carry a hub, or the ever declining few who need full sized SD can add a card reader to their camera bag. If that's the tradeoff, I would prefer the later.
Anecdotal, but making me a little jealous to be honest.
My point.
Unnecessarily combative and, frankly, wrong.
Nothing. I'm merely stating my preference.
Agreed.
I don't think I've said anywhere in this thread what I think Pro means in the name MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, iPhone Pro or anything else. I have stated that I think arguments that "the industry" needs SD cards is misguided and not sufficient justification for including the port in the MBP, and then have spent a lot of time responding to people arguing with me on that point.
Yeah, I've noticed the same. If the power hasn't come down by now, I suspect it's a limitation of the standard-- high data rates over long runs. Optical is probably the only way around it.
There is nothing more varied than a port that is capable of become any port you want or need.
I cant really argue with you about what you prefer but what I can say as a video professional is that every one I know in the industry has lamented the removal of the sd port and is really excited about the inclusion. both my c70 and r5 take sd ports and with such high bit rates, media gets very expensive. To not have to worry about bringing a dongle is a game changer for dumping cards during a shoot. What we do know is that sd cards have been around and evolved with the same for factor for a long time CFexpress is new. Before that cameras were using CFast cards which seems to have been replaced by CFexpress.
An SD Slot always acts as an SD Slot, while a USB-C port does not if you forget your dongle/reader. So all that variety is useless without the extra thing.
Cool beans if it’s the port you need, as I said. If it’s not then it’s pointless. It can never be changed into what you prefer. It’s always there and forever wasted.
SD is what I use so Im happy with their choice. If you don't, just carry a dongle for the USBC port.
A C compiler is a multi-purpose app you can use to create any app you want. End users still often prefer the convenience of special-purpose apps over the flexibility of a multi-purpose compiler – to the point that the compiler isn't often even installed by default.
