    ** The Official WWDC 2024 thread - Keynote 10th June at 18:00 BST **

    Main reasons I've seen so far are better ST performance and more ram. If this doesn't apply to you, keep your M1 Max for a few more years. I have M1 Max at home and M3 Max at work, wouldn't upgrade my home machine anytime soon. Maybe M5 or M6 generation.

    ARM is coming.

    Let's be a bit optimistic here...

    ARM is coming.

    Death of x86?! ARM is already here, actually has been for a while and is gaining ground in the server market as well. x86 will be fine too, there's no reason for it to die. Apple's migration to their own ARM chips has been very successful, and we'll see more ARM in PCs outside Apple in the...

    AMD how to turn off SMT?

    This might have been beneficial in some limited cases, on older games/hardware. Not the case with modern OS/game/hardware.

    Yeah, new perf cores about 35% faster, and there will be 50% more of them in M3 Max, so 3 times as much in the Ultra. Big ST and MT performance boost. I'll stick to my M1 Max though, maybe I'll upgrade in the M5 generation.

    Alienware announces the AW2725DF and AW3225QF (worlds first 4k 240hz and worlds first 1440p 360hz QD-OLED monitors - launches January 2024)

    I'd have already pulled the trigger if the screen was flat. The price makes it a great value compared to alternatives in the UK.

    Dell 32” 6K

    I've used this screen and OLED screens, there's no comparison for HDR contents or black levels. This is an edge-lit LCD so you should not at all expect even Mini-LED type black levels, let alone anything from an OLED. You should only buy this for pixel density and text/image sharpness/clarify...

    *** The official M3 24” iMac thread (it has the M3 chip and everything!) ***

    Very decent price for this sort of thing and it's going to look amazing there.

    Going Old-Skool

    I'd be very surprised if it doesn't work.

    Advice on asking for a pay increase?

    Consider the positive, you're leaving a toxic employer and they're paying you to find a new job, it's much better than the alternative (letting you go and asking you to work your full notice).

    National insurance cut

    The only wealth tax that can work seamlessly is a land/property tax, similar to how the US does it.

    National insurance cut

    State pension should be abolished and rolled into universal credit with similar criteria. If universal credit isn't enough to live on for a pensioner, then it's not enough for others either, and let's increase it for everyone. Raising taxes on private pensions (e.g. abolishing the 25% tax-free...

    *** The official 2024 MacBook Air 13" and 15" thread (it has the M3 chip, WiFi 6E and everything!) ***

    Around the same, give or take £100 or so. Poor value too.

    *** The official Mac Studio thread (it has the M1 Max, the M1 Ultra and everything!) ***

    MacOS doesn't support DisplayPort MST either, so Apple is not making this easy. I'm guessing you can probably make 3 displays work if you connect a displaylink hub to the KVM switch.

    *** The official Mac Studio thread (it has the M1 Max, the M1 Ultra and everything!) ***

    There's only one thunderbolt 4 KVM switch afaik (Sabrent) but it won't support three displays. https://sabrent.com/products/sb-tb4k

    National insurance cut

    I'd rather they increase all thresholds inline with inflation (and recalculate them from when they froze them) than significantly raise taxes and then cancel a tiny bit of it and call it a "tax cut", nobody is getting a tax cut as long as the thresholds are frozen. A 1% cut to the basic NI rate...

    Linux on M3 Apple Silicon

    Not much has changed. The two usual suspects (VMware Fusion and Parallels) are there, there are some open source ones too (UTM) but they're not as refined as the two commercial options.

    What is the best Apple product you have owned?

    Base model starts at AA, doubles in price for every upgrade. And it's soldered to your bones so you better make the right choice.

    What is the best Apple product you have owned?

    Maybe we'll have an "Apple" shaped Silicone implant too. Would be a good product. Apple Silicone.
