If I was starting new today, I’d probably get the base configuration 16”. But I needed a computer in July and got a 2018 refurb in the 15” model, and not feeling even a hint of buyer’s remorse. And the savings between the new and refurbished models paid for the computer that now runs my HTPC...

Here’s a dumb question - I know I’m no longer a typical real world example of how people use these products, or at least, I don’t think I am. Do people generally use Siri on a daily basis? As far as I know, the majority of my friends and family use iPhones rather than other brands, and I’ve...

Yes, my mistake, that’s what I was thinking of. I’d love a HomePod if I could get the computational audio benefits without the personal digital assistant interface requirement.

I love everything about the AirPod and the computational sound that Dave has eloquently described before. What is keeping me from buying is that there doesn’t seem to be a direct input on the thing. What if I don’t want to use Siri? I’m not down with asking objects to do things. I get the wide...

I think I want an iPad but I’d like very much for it to be free :D

I had the best mushroom of my life at one of Gordon Ramsey’s restaurants. Not something I’d usually order on its own, it was one of several sides paired with a beef Wellington for two. I’d eat that again. Fly me to London and I’ll show you where it was :)

What is bilateral charging again? Is that the thing where you put it next to the thing and it charges itself?

I did buy Apple Care for my 2009 MacBook Pro and I’m glad I did - I burnt out two optical drives during the extended warranty period.

I’ve noticed a decline in customer service across the board at pretty much every major company I’ve had dealings with over the past ten years. It used to be that they’d make efforts to retain you as a customer, especially if you spoke up a little bit and escalated above the first layer of...

Are these regular or magic mushrooms that we're feeding Sam?

First off, I wanna apologize if I crapped on an exclusively Mac Pro discussion. I may have read the posts I was responding to a little quickly and started a tangent that was much further off the path than I intended. Just wanna get that said :) I’m not interested in Mac Pro, Mac Mini or iMac. I...

To be honest, the older I get, the less interested I am in tech stuff. Maybe it’s just the natural evolution of my interests. I also recognize that I occasionally have quirky interests in terms of what I use the tech for. At the same time, Apple has always been the kind of company to remove an...

I completely understand and emphasize with Ted, as Apple has moved away almost completely from providing the functions I find most useful in a computer. I don’t want to switch to a PC, but I’m not happy with the current offerings either. My MacBook Pro is from 2009 and surely must be on its last...
