re: Buying a new Macbook
Posted by lsu02150 on 1/31/24 at 5:33 pm
If a 2011 MacBook was still getting the job done for you until very recently, the new MacBook Pros are overkill. Get a M2 MacBook Air. Check how much storage you use and upgrade that from base model if you think needed.
15" deals at Best Buy are killer right now.
13" I'd get Apple Certified Refurb...

If laying new conduit, put a few mid run pull boxes every 100-200' or so and anywhere you have to make a turn. This will make pulling the fiber way easier and also make it ...

re: Apple supports Communist China.
Posted by lsu02150 on 12/1/22 at 10:22 pm

So they will gladly hide behind those policies and comply with the Chinese government because they want to make money more than anything ...

1. Apple policy is to comply with laws in any jurisdiction in which it operates. Xi’s word is as good as law in China.
2. Apple has a duty to shareholders and China can and will turn off the iPhone, MacBook, iPad, etc “faucet” without hesitation if Apple didn’t comply with a government request. W...

[quote]Does the watch have the hardware to measure ambient light? [/quote]
It does, and when you raise your wrist it 'wakes up' and auto adjusts to ambient light level. In my experience, it does it quickly and to a viewable brightness level >99% of the time.
OP, are you talking about how dim ...
