the pain argument isn't even relevant because he just needed surgery not even chemo. he died like a dumb poo poo for nothing after doing a bunch of dumb bullshit

he tried a vegan diet, acupuncture, herbal remedies, and other treatments he found online, and even consulted a psychic. He was also influenced by a doctor who ran a clinic that advised juice fasts, bowel cleansings and other unproven approaches, before finally having surgery

ok i think we've established Steve Jobs wasn't part of the goon hive mind and clearly didn't read the hallmark 2004 GBS thread "if you had cancer, would you suck balls at least once before you die?" which tackled the correct and proper ways for smarty pants goons to die.

quote:

Stephen Foskett and Daring Fireball's John Gruber speculate that Apple could potentially introduce a refreshed Thunderbolt Display with a built-in graphics card, which would result in a display able to work with almost any Mac because it would be driven by an internal graphics card rather than the machine it's connected to.

this is a cool idea and i'm sure i've floated it around these forums before, but drat is that unlikely. i want to believe, though. maybe it will use Polaris.

i can't wait for my monitor to become obsolete in 18 months when the poo poo-tier laptop-grade graphics card is no good anymore instead of, gently caress, i don't know, a decade or more? do high quality IPS displays ever really become bad? I don't think so. Hot drat.

I still have a IPS Dell monitor from... 2004? That I use as a secondary portrait monitor, and it's still chugging along, although it's got some pretty noticeable ghosting artifacts nowadays.

if they do this its gonna be some intel graphics like thing. this is not about gaming theyre not gonna be dumb and stick in there something that needs to be cooled like a nuclear power plant.

its about making 5k possible without having to switch to an imac which i personally have a huge boner for

the graphics card is never out-dated because it's meant to power one thing: the 5K display. unless the display can jump to 8K with a software update, the card will have exactly enough power to run the display forever.

what's out-dated is actually the MacBooks and Macbook Airs out there. this would actually extend the useful lives of devices from 2011.

as far as i know you cannot use Intel graphics as a discrete graphics chip like this. maybe there is some super custom solution that Intel uncharacteristically agreed to make. it's most likely an AMD chip. they already have AMD chips powering iMacs with the exact same form factor, regular heat pipe and fan and all.

the grognard in me is super pissed at the idea of using a 480MBps serial data bus to transmit an encoded signal that needs to be decoded again at the destination two feet away when it could be carried equally well in a simple analog pair and fed directly into the transducers

I'm not intimately familiar with signaling over twisted pair, but I'm not really sure if simple signaling at GHz frequencies over a single twisted pair, even over only a distance of two feet, is really practical. Definitely possible with coaxial cable though, and that'd probably be the 'analog way' of doing it.

If you use the right connectors and cables, coaxial cables can signal at frequencies up to 110 GHz, albeit with a lot of attenuation. It's pretty old technology, but it's not cheap though. For example, a single 50 GHz coaxial connector costs like $50.

it's probably gonna be a 480 chip or some variation in it since it's about the same power as the 390 iirc

lol why would anyone think this is a good idea and lol if you think apple wants to extend useful life beyond what the target price point justifies

lol @ the people who complaints about leaks


if you stepped into a factory back in 2010 or prior, you will find that pretty much no workers has a good enough cellphone for leaked photos, at most they have those Nokia or other candy bar clones that can text and call
now pretty much everyone has a good enough camera on them to take indoor photos

on the logistic side of things, there are usually 20k-60k workers in those factory
you can't ask them to remove their personal cellphones even if you'd like because they have breaks and personal time and some people just take the break or nap right near the assembly line, and even if you do, it will be pretty much impossible to enforce

also if you are really hellbent on setting up some sort of back scatter X-ray for 60k workers to go through everyday, there's no way it will fly with the local gov because someone can post it to weibo and make a huge deal out of it even if you just want it as company policy


in short, don't quote stymie

You're right; the current trend of extremely pricey tech goods becoming less and less end-user-maintainable and planned obsolescence is actually good in the hosed up brain of someone who upgrades their phone and computer to the latest Consumer human being model. But do me a favor and try to think what someone without disposable income would think about paying double the price for a monitor with the drawback of having to replace the monitor and graphics card at the same time

if you don't have disposable income then you should consider buying a less fancy computer. you can buy a perfectly fine used PC for like $300
