Arturia does that, and Korg did as well (making controller keyboards specific for emulating a synth, with the software running on a Mac or PC. Downsides: - if the software doesn’t get updated, you’re stuck running an old OS an old Mac that

Love the product, love that you don’t need a cloud account. Congrats! I’m in the same situation where I seem to improvise better when I haven’t hit the record button.

I wonder what would be the alternative, though? Other companies/universities would eventually have made the same breakthroughs, and I don’t think the answer to the innovators dilemma is to do less ambitious innovation? In the case of G

I think what you say is true, yet some base research takes time. If you have a “ship it” attitude, you might push teams towards taking smaller bets that they know are within reach? I don’t know how the transformer breakthroughs at Google&#x

I'm usually hesitant to give advice since I'm never in someone elses shoes, but here's some thoughts: A lot of community building comes down to trust, whether you are developing a commercial or open source platform. As a cust

Apple was able to manage this with a much bigger market and a lot more apps (when transitioning to OS X), so while it would be hard, I think Palm could have been able to do that as well. But as you say, the company structure, market positio

Does Apple require an Apple ID/iCloud account to set up a Mac? I thought that was a difference with windows 11?

Granted, I have iCloud turned on (for syncing notes and calendar) but I have it turned off for everything else. I’ve never had it ask me to turn on any of the other iCloud features like iCloud backup or drive / desktop sync. (And I’d g

There’s 12 cameras and 3 screens to drive, how many lanes would you need for that through the cable? How chunky would the cable be after adding necessary shielding?

Why assume it's a greenfield project? I would think most open source software that comes out of companies have lived internally for a while before going public?

Lots of processor types are programmable, not just GPUs. Apple is well known for making purpose built chips for their hardware. Main point is that they reuse the cores across different chips. A chip with 12 camera interfaces doesn’t sound l

Apple likes mentioning whatever is a competitive advantage. M2 has 100GB/s, M2 Pro 200GB/s. They put in the bandwidth they think is needed for the purpose. Likewise with the 12 camera interfaces. It’s a safe bet that there’s some

The article does nothing to back up the claim in the title, that Prusa is actually floundering. Presumably if somone writes a post tomorrow about how the Hare programming language is floundering, and that ends up trending in various forums

The company I worked for had our office renovated/redecorated. As part of that, we moved offices temporarily, and one of the larger meeting rooms was relocated to a remote building. We didn't have a way of wiring up that meeting r

Our startup needed to automate our invoicing process. Back in the day there were only a couple of reasonably priced, web based ERP systems in our country. The one we picked had good API docs, but we didn't read the fine print - API acc

Are they forcing people to the cloud services? (I'm still running without cloud enabled.)

Do you have a link to any of those adapters? Have a 600SE and a 3D printer, would be nice to give a new life to the camera.

The closest to what you describe would actually be Bluetooth, but that's also a kitchen sink standard that tried to do everything and ended up with a lot of compatibility and connectivity issues that we still live with today.

I have a hard time thinking of how terraform as a piece of software can do to much more than it already does to fix things? When terraform fails, it's typically because of a an API error or a configuration issue that is beyond its cont

My thinking was simply that they had millions of loyal, happy iPod users that would be replacing their iPods at some point in time, and iPhone would be a natural upgrade path for them. And they had retail outlets where they could push the i

Calling it a dumb phone with a gimmicky interface doesn't add up to me. Yes, it had a 2G modem, but it was still running OS X under the hood just like all the following models and had a suite of apps that worked way better than existin

Apple went with the operator that would allow them control over the device. This was at a time where Nokia sold specific versions of their smartphones with WiFi disabled in the US. And the situation was similar elsewhere. So in many of the

Agreed. IMO, a naysayer that did their research should have watched the original iPhone intro and would not miss the slide where Steve Jobs says "iPhone runs OS X", with a list of all the features they "got for free". Yo

I think most of the "iPhone is doomed" people fundamentally misunderstood what the iPhone was and what it did compared to existing phones. And of course, they judged Apples future on the first device, which they considered flaws i

The Zune came quite a while later, though (2006 vs iPod in 2001). The main competitors at the time was Creative (Nomad) and frin 2003 (IIRC) iRiver, and they typically had slow USB ports at the time and were more bulky.

My wife doesn’t care about CPU architectures, but she was astonished that her new MacBook Pro didn’t get hot on her lap, and how she could work through the day on one charge. Then she was astonished by the sound quality of the speakers. It’
