lol what do you mean "get away with"? the definition of capitalism is "pay as little and charge as much as you can get away with"

yeah, certainly, but it is a pretty rare circumstance to have your customer cheering for your profit margins as they buy your products though, but there is some kind of genius still in play in that they can price the new mbps so incredibly high

When you hook one of LG’s 5K monitors to one of the new MacBook Pros, what you’re actually seeing on the screen is two pictures stitched together to make a single seamless image. This is because the version of the DisplayPort spec supported by Intel’s GPUs and almost all monitors these days—version 1.2—doesn’t have enough bandwidth to drive a 5K display at 60Hz all by itself. This will change with DisplayPort 1.3, which is right on the cusp of going mainstream, but it’s not here yet. Apple is actually pushing two DisplayPort 1.2 streams to the monitor over the single Thunderbolt 3 cable.

These kinds of workarounds were common in the early days of 4K displays before the DisplayPort 1.2 spec went mainstream, although you’d typically actually need two physical DisplayPort cables to make it happen. Apple actually uses a variation of the same idea for the 5K iMac’s internal display.

i cant believe its 2017 and even the computer thats nothing but future ports cant handle 5k screens without hacks

actually then the touchbar is good, it's embarrassing lazy devs who aren't using the right field for password entry. even on macs w/o a touchbar that leaky password data is probably being stored for predictive input analysis somewhere vulnerable, or being entered in a way that's less hardened to spyware, etc etc

do passwords entered in webforms on the major third party browsers show up too, or just random badly made apps? i know firefox rolls it's own cross platform UI widgets...

you wouldn't want to use it though if it requires third party lovely driver installation that might break in the next os release

nor would you want it if it's actually USB->Ethernet rather than thunderbolt/pcie->Ethernet

i mean despite the curse of success/growth stuff that seems to be strangling their engineering capabilities a bit I'm sure they can still come out with another iPad sized product. the iPhone was a crazy confluence of factors that is not going to happen again for apple tho
