My comment to iPad bending issue: of course if you take really good care of it, it won't bend. But for the money you pay for it, Apple could use different material to make it more resistant to flexing / bending. I guess even titanium won't be so expensive (for Apple).

I personally want to take just normal (non-obsessive) care about my stuff. If the device can't handle it, I won't even consider buying it.

Come on, Luke...don't moan about Apple doing iStale designs...


18 core iMac Pro. 'Cheaply?'

Azrael.


I was in that rabbit hole half a year ago. Seen all of em. Should have just bought the 2019 version back than... but there was a new one coming soon and ready to be shipped. -.-


Battery Likely for Upcoming MacBook Air Spotted in Certification Listings
If there is a new MacBook Air before this iMac (same day would be ok >_>) i might swim over to cupertino and give tim a talking to.
 
...as for the ice creatures...Scotland...beyond the wall...

We "ice creatures" don't bite. 😉

Hoping for the August 17th launch, I've got to the point where I can wait no longer. I need to have a functioning (and somewhat powerful) Mac set up ASAP for work and some home projects. I'll sit the first few gens of AS out and then adopt when the 2020 starts to show its age!

With Intels messy turbo boost architecture that is optimised for getting high Geekbench scores, it is difficult to say. Multithread will be up to 25 % better than current i9 due to the extra cores while single thread can be improved up to 15% better. In real life though I guess max 10% improvements as turbo boost cannot be used all the time.

Makes sense...I mean if it lightens the load a little to allow it to run cooler I'm ok with it. Hopefully not a huge price jump though.
 
Midlands. (in the middle of the 'England'...UK...) Some thing that is wildling territory. It's not. You need to go further up north into Yorkshire or the 'umberlands for that...as for the ice creatures...Scotland...beyond the wall...

Beer (we call it 'a pint...') or Tea - Ear Grey. Hot. (and yes, there's coffee drinkers here in the UK...)

If you come here one day, I'll shout you 'a pint.' ;)

Azrael.
Oh, Azrael. I thought so highly of you, but the midlands? Ooft ;)

And yes, coffee > tea, imo. A nice IPA does the trick too!
 
I'd like to say you would not catch me dead in the Midlands considering all the British murder dramas that are placed there, but I tend to think that might be the only way you'd catch me there. ;)

Not by choice, gusping.

Honour comes 1st.

My heart belongs to Scotland.

I find watching Sweeny re-runs gives me a sense of 'appreciation' for the midlands.

Still, if you pressed me...I'd say I was in the heart of darkness.

...a vortex of time and space destruction best avoided.

Travel 'lightly' around these parts..., CWallance...go lightly...*(wind your windows up, put your foot down, 80 mph should get through minus any bricks thrown...)

Coffee. Great for migraines and palpatations.

Not to mention irritability.

Where's the goddamn iMac, Apple? *Raises voice.*

Ahh... that's better, haha. Please tell me you have a strong Scottish accent!

My heart belongs to the home counties. However, the commute into London nearly killed me so I had to move. Again, not by choice :p

Somewhat 'bourgeoisie' according to the natives around these parts...

...however, my ancestry and family come from there...

I don't understand anything.

Ahahahah

That is a good place to start...

Haha! I might move to the midlands, just so I start being referred to as part of the landed gentry!
Beautiful...

Sorry, got carried away. Yes, I'd like a nice new iMac too!

Ahahahah
Don't worry. Azrael and I will give you a nice tour of the UK when you come. Well... we will miss out Wales, and a few other bits...

Where are the midlands ? I'm trying to see on a map. Is Manchester in the midlands ? Or Birmingham ?
Ignore the term, 'midlands'. If it is north of Watford, it is 'The North'. You want to be below Watford, if possible.

*Azrael mumbling* "Classic southern pleb"

That's .... direct ..... and not so gentle .... lol
I added some clarification! I better keep quiet or i'l be banned soon. I forget people can't tell I am joking over the internet. Usually ends in tears.

And dw, the English hate the Welsh (or pretend to), and vice versa. Just part of the banter being thrown about.

Damn. We don't have the same definition of North. For me, Northern England is like ... maybe Bradford ? Doesn't know that city. Or Middlesbrough ? lol :p Just saw you have a city called Halifax and Washington lol !

Here in Quebec, "north" is like real far north. Not a 45 min drive northern Montreal. ahaha

Wales seems like a quiet place. Never heard of anything happening there until I watched The Crown.
