Can confirm headphone jack works great with 600 ohm headphones, and that this thing has yet to get hot or ramp the fans up Transferring my mp3 library from my desktop and it’s insane how fast it imports 60 gigs of music at a time

I guess I don't know how to read stats like this The M1 Pro/Max Macbook Pro are machines for professional developers that -Want to do professional computing e.g. multithreaded, encoding, ML -Want to do professional audio/visual editing e.g. HDR, high impedance audio, video output If your use case is -Chilling and looking cool at a coffee shop get an M1 Macbook Air -Playing video games get a PS5, PS4, etc. -Having one machine do everything OK get a windows 10 laptop. There's event hat Asus Zephyrus that you can have light up a big apple on the back. If you don't need a laptop this year, uh.... wait? I'm positive that next year (or even whatever comes out in 6mo) will provide laptops with even more benefits. Hell, they'll probably have mostly solved the notch bullshit. ********************* I have a question for me, though: can I do streaming from an M1 Mac Mini at home to an iPad on the go? I'm thinking something like Parsec or Moonlight, but to an iPad.

Speaking of the notch… https://twitter.com/Pogue/status/1453593474801020931?s=20 Also, somebody said macrumors was mentioned like the posters are pro Apple, but like 90% of posters there bitch about not having Apple do one specific thing the way they want. We joke about goons being goons, but that group is very special

I think the wording there is a little unclear (at least to me) -- if I check that will it adjust the menus so they omit the unavailable notch area? I think the "fit below" part is just messing with my mind. In my head that means either we're scaling the app and menu to physically exist below the notch (which would be super weird and I'm sure not what it means -- or the menu is bouncing up and down depending on which app is highlighted), or if checked it allows an app to make use of the area "below" the notch (as in, behind), which should be off by default for all apps on notch-macs. I articulated that terribly. I don't want to beat a dad horse but if that means the menu bar moves depending on which app I have focused then it's a pretty dumb solution.

Most of the time it just works™ In some cases, the developers need to make changes in the app to make it work. In the event that this doesn't happen, you have the fallback of that setting. If you really, really don't want the notch you could turn that on for everything and pretend your Mac doesn't have that extra screen space.

Kreeblah posted:No, add an option to just turn off the pixels to the side of the notch, and move the menu bar underneath. And make it a system-wide setting. It'd leave things at the same aspect ratio as MBPs have been for years, without doing . . . this: This really seems like a debugging tool that someone tossed into production as a hail mary, because that’s just about the least elegant way I can imagine to fix that problem.

Why does that option add padding on the left and right instead of just the top? I thought the screen was supposed to be a normal 16:10 resolution, except with just enough extra vertical pixels added for the menubar to extend vertically with the notch. It seems like they could leave the notch vertical space empty and just have a natural 16:10 resolution without affecting the width at all. Do fullscreen apps that don't use the notch space also shrink horizontally?

Martytoof posted:Curious if anyone else has a delivery estimate of 11/1 but their package has been "In transit" in Shanghai for like three days now. Different timestamps but all say the same, in the same location. Just guesstimating that my 11/1 will slip back to original 11/5 window which is fine but it gives Apple time to push a bugfix for the greatest injustice of our generation, the menubar notch day one bug! This happened for me but my original estimate from UPS was 11/2. Now it has been a couple days since it shipped and it is till in Shanghai and my delivery date changed to "Check back later"

Yeah I just got a text that it's back to 11/3 now. Oh well, I'll get it when I get it. Thankfully it's just a tech upgrade for me and I'm not up the creek if it arrives a few days late.

As someone not using apps with a million menu bars I’m just excited to have 16:10 full screen app space to work in while the notched menu bar sits above it. I would be down for software that colors the menu at background black though so the notch doesn’t stand out so much.

I got a 14" Pro and I'm real happy with it so far, especially the absurd battery life. First time I've been able to take a machine with dev tooling running away from a power cable any significant length of time. Literally the only thing that bothers me about the notch is that Bartender doesn't totally play nice with it yet. I was never using that space in the middle anyway, and in fullscreen the mini-LED stuff makes that strip vanish completely, so I have no other reason to care.
