    If your sales go down by more than 100% in a year, you have bigger problems than arguing decimal places.

    I heard this morning that Apple wants to start making movies

    I hope they're not going to try to edit those on a new Macbook "Pro"

  5. 30 bps on Mac Sales Declined Nearly 10 Percent Last Year (9to5mac.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    Thanks summary and article for quoting "30 bps" seemingly without knowing what it means.

    Anyway, I looked it up. It is a financial term, not a bandwidth one.

    A basis point (often denoted as bp, often pronounced as "bip" or "beep") is one hundredth of a percent.

    I don't know how 30bps is easier to understand than 0.3% but there you have it.

    Google Chrome only supports up to 48KHz audio. Good luck encoding a 100KHz tone with less than a 200KHz sample rate.

  8. Is this all LG Monitors? on Apple Seemingly Censors UltraFine 5K Monitor Reviews After Poor Feedback (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 2

    I bought an LG monitor in 2015, just a basic 23" 1080p display, and it turns off instead of going to sleep. There is no way to wake this screen with any computer.

    A pretty big design flaw, but I'm too cheap to replace it. I have to turn the screen back on every time I wake the computer.

  9. Is it just the media? The government itself is establishing a Ministry of Truth type of system. And that was put together by Obama, but it's scary nonetheless.

    My response was definitely not serious. But yeah, battery space dominates most phones now to a degree I would have never guessed back in those days.

    Only full-size SD card slots supported. Massive brick of a phone required.

    That means you can maybe see the start and end. You buy it with cash, it gets traded/sold numerous times. You can see when/where it was spent, but you can't follow it back through its path

  14. Re:Ranking of reviews is better on Apple Will Finally Let Developers Respond To App Store Reviews (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    On the other hand, when an app requests 20 new permissions and you refuse to update, you'd like to leave a review that affects their rankings without having to install that newer version.

    While connected you can use GPS and a small table to record the phones location every minute. Round robin it for maybe an hour. Stop writing table when unpaired. Then when you need to find them...

    Then when you need to find them...your phone's battery is dead.

    First you find your phone using icloud.com, then use the phone to find the airpods. Though I suspect that you might find both on the web site.

    To the point of purchase (the victim). By the time anything happens after that, it's relatively untraceable.

    It said it was expired, which the package didn't warn of. The code was honored anyway on the redemption web site. I think we have a comprehension problem here.

    As I said 8 posts ago, this is the reason that they are ignoring the expiration date. To avoid a class action, because they screwed up.

    What's to stop people from going to Venezuela and buying 10 copies of Final Cut Pro and bringing it back to the US?

    The fact that it's only sold in the App store now?

    Beside that point, too much of this reselling will eventually raise the GDP of that country - solving the problem.
