funmanguy posted:All the info I can find about the fusion drives is that they use 5400rpm drives. Thats checking the computers I have handy, they don't say specifically w/r/t the new 27 inch imac My 2013 iMac w/ Fusion Drive definitely has a 5400rpm drive in it. It's very noticeable when booted into Windows. By "noticeable" I mean it's slower than dogshit.

Apple's always been wary of acquiring technical debt by bending over backwards for... backwards compatibility.

Binary Badger posted:So I was given a 2018 rMBP to set up the other day; setup is exactly the same as 2017s, however there is one part added to the setup script that's nice- you're given the option to toggle back and forth between TrueTone™ and no TrueTone and they let you see the difference right off the bat. that's exactly what it's supposed to do, right? Like you leave TrueTone on and in your dark computer cave the tones are darker and more orange, and then when you take it to the office it autoadjusts to a more birghtly lit room?

Binary Badger posted:Steve passed away on October 5th, 2011.. the last MacBook Pro to have a combined analog/optical port was the non-Retina mid 2012 MacBook Pro 13 and 15 inch. The first rMBP which came out June 2012 had only digital/analog ports, so yeah looks like an obvious case of "Lets honor Steve by removing all the poo poo he kept screaming at us to keep." There's no way they redesigned the Macbook Pro to the Retina version in less than a year.

Binary Badger posted:The non-Retina and Retina mid 2012 were both introduced simultaneously in June 2012, it's easy to conclude that they had the Retina on the back burner for some time before release. The 2012 non Retina was just a bump up to Ivy Bridge from Sandy Bridge. Right, so Steve obviously had a say in what ports were on the rMBP and it wasn't some fan fiction revenge scheme that you mentioned

that's not how it happened at all. google wouldn't let apple use its maps for realtime turn-by-turn directions unless they could mine more data + other terms that apple couldn't agree with. apple wanted to stay relevant by having built in turn-by-turn and other new tech (vector maps, etc. google maps was still using tiled gifs lol) hence apple made their own mapping engine (it wasn't great-- true), but just lol at the thought that "they [google] had no warning"

Yeah that makes sense because "True Tone" isn't just display hardware. The meat of it is probably whatever hardware + software they use to actually detect the lighting, which can be applied to additional displays

As far as I know, eGPUs are not officially supported on Bootcamp. There have been some hacks where people trick their EFI partitions into booting into Windows, but I have no idea what hardware combo that works with.

Lambert posted:The Thinkpad software allows you to extend battery life by not always charging it fully. It's the same reason why Tesla stops charging at 80%, the extremes always degrade these batteries more than using them in the 20-80% range. Apple has no such functionality built into their products. Yes they do. iOS and macOS slow charging considerably at 85 - 90 percent and discharge occasionally when the battery is full. Last Chance fucked around with this message at 14:39 on Dec 30, 2018 |

unidef freeman posted:Has anyone wondered why Apple chose FreeBSD as a base for macOS/iOS yet adapted different user interfaces for each respectively? idk much about unix philosophy, but I imagine Apple wanted to stay far away from having to maintain a UI that was the same across mobile/desktop after how terrible old Windows tablets and phones were to use when they had the same (or at least similar)UI as their desktop counterparts.

Lambert posted:I've used a Core M machine: It would frequently chug even with just a single video playing in the background. Scrolling would frequently lag. They're just too thermally limited to be useful. macOS relies heavily on the GPU for things like scrolling and video decoding. you wouldn't see chugging scrolling with videos playing, but all that said, you wouldn't be doing much more than web browsing/youtube/doc editing on such a machine.
