It'd be hilarious if Apple bought them after the price crash. IT had been angling for a buyout for years, I think, and Apple still holds a minority stake.

Obviously I know none of the details of their GPU or the code used to support it, but the suggestion that Apple couldn't lock a couple dozen mega nerds into a room to do a clean room implementation over a few years is ridiculous. They've literally got the biggest bankroll on the planet, if anyone could do it it's them. GPU's aren't THAT big of a mystery.

Yes, Apple will certainly see some regression by moving to in-house but the basic concept of getting a pixel on a screen is not a mystery. All we have to worry about is whether they suffer growing pains on stuff they're selling, or it's just sweating that their prototypes aren't good enough. But they did bring their main processor design in-house a few years ago and seem to have done okay.

A couple of clarifying stories seem to indicate Imagination Technologies believes Apple has poached some of their IP designs/concepts during acquisition talks in the last year. But it's hard to separate that from IT's other concern of losing over half their business.

So I washed my Airpods and they are toast. How is the fruit stand on having no receipt? I bought them off eBay so have no proof of purchase.

Did you pay for the Airpods with a card that has a purchase protection benefit? If so, you could check the terms of your card benefits to see if your purchase was eligible and find out how to file a claim if so.

I took advantage of Apple by cracking my screen and still getting AppleCare+ by passing the remote diagnostic.

Binary Badger posted:Intel hasn't been able to vastly improve their integrated GPUs for a while now, although they do make some progress from gen to gen.. To defend Intel a bit, by building the integrated GPU into the die, there's a limit to how clever and powerful they can get without blowing the thermals or cost out of proportion.

"2 wrongs don't make a right," I hesitate to commit $160 in fraud, Apple isn't committing fraud by making $$$$$$ off of consumers in very clever ways. I think your analogy game is weak.

Guess I should have said I plan on telling them what happened and hoping they would do an exception like they do sometimes with people losing them. Just wasn't sure about having no receipt.

They are seriously the most convenient headphones of all time. I used istocknow.com and got an email that Target had them in stock online, I ordered them and got them 2 days later. A+ to both Apple on the airpods and to istocknow.com for not having to fight any preordering/in store hunting fight.

Been using the 6 plus for 2 years. Contract is done. Time for a new phone. I'm craving the SE. I loved my iPhone 5 and the design and flat sides which meant no case needed. Anyone else downgrade from the big screen to the smaller one?

In the time i installed apple news (a few months) I've only ever had three breaking news stories pushed to me The first one was about trumps muslim ban being lifted. The second was about it being reinstated. And now the third one is about a basketball game. Okay.
