Does a macOS update nuke CC? Genuine question, because I don't feel like living in a world where I have to completely nuke CC and all its applications, then reinstalling it from scratch after every OS update that somehow breaks it.

I'm this close to just pulling the trigger on the 14" MacBook Pro after Windows 10 managed to completely break Creative Cloud with its "signature" updates.

I'd ask here first:
- https://www.reddit.com/r/creativecloud/
- https://community.adobe.com/t5/download-install/ct-p/ct-download-and-install?page=1&sort=latest_replies&tabid=all
to see if anyone has firsthand experience. I'd think no, but haven't used Adobe since CS6. I'm out of touch.

The most important thing is the glass. If you go with the X-S10, factor in potentially purchasing one of the Fuji f/2 primes like the 23mm f/2 or 35mm f/2. The high ISO performance on the X-Trans4 sensors are very good for an APS-C format sensor, but having a fast prime will help with that significantly.

They've always been owned by Oppo. Just that the company back then was operating somewhat separately.

Should I be worried about OLED burn in?
D13H4RD replied to TheProPizza's topic in Phones and Tablets
I have my old Note8 since launch, and I still do. I used Discord pretty heavily, and so some elements such as the username and the icon for the hamburger menu plus the keyboard are already starting to show signs of permanent burn-in. But this is also like a 4 year old phone that's going into its 5th year pretty soon, and it's honestly not so bad to the point where it's distracting to a large degree. You can extend the life of the display by not cranking the brightness too high all the time and utilizing sleep mode whenever possible. -
Why does the s21 have worse PPI and resolution than s20?
D13H4RD replied to MS-DOS's topic in Phones and Tablets
To be completely honest, VR on phones kind of died almost as soon as it came on. I had the Daydream View. It was cool for its time but the novelty soon wore off as it became painfully apparent that no one was gonna be using their phones to have immersive VR experiences. That much is evident when VR on the PC space seems to have found its firm niche, whilst phone-based VR is basically just Google Cardboard for 360-degree video...and even that was kind of a fad. With that, I honestly don't mind the drop in PPI. 424PPI is still plenty for how you tend to use your phone for, PenTile notwithstanding. -
Take the iPhone 13. The Pixel 6 is a great phone but not having local warranty and missing Google Pay whilst Apple Pay works in your country is enough of a reason to pick the iPhone. The only bummer with the iPhone 13 over the Pixel 6 is that it doesn't have a display that refreshes over 60Hz, but given that my experience with my iPhone 13 Pro (which, admittedly, has the 120Hz VRR display, but putting it in power saving forces maximum refresh to 60Hz), iOS does still maintain a fair amount of fluidity and smoothness even when pegged to 60Hz. The Pixel is probably the smoothest Android experience you'll ever get, but it does hitch every now and then. With all that said and done, just having local warranty and support alone is enough to pick the iPhone over the Pixel, but you should also ask yourself if switching to iOS is feasible, given that you're coming from a good stint on Android. For me (and another guy above), who has been using Android for over a decade, switching to iOS was largely painless, but it might differ for you.

Give it time. The component shortages have pushed back deliveries on a lot of computing and electronic products.

To be fair, Apple has one giant advantage in that it also has been slowly designing its ARM-based SoCs to be more powerful and capable in around the same time its software team was working on an eventual transition to ARM. It was definitely far from a "one year" project, but Apple had a lot of cards working in its favor, no least the synergy its products have with their hardware and software thanks to both parts being designed by their manufacturer. That doesn't excuse the joke that Microsoft and Qualcomm have released though. Especially the latter.

The next generation flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon processor is named...wait for it....
...the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen1.
How the fuck do you name these things???

Remember how Google used to name their Android Phone OS's are desserts?

I guess they ran out of good ideas

Too bad they'll probably have to drop their scalped prices soon after. There's not much of a reason to buy DDR5 right now. Especially when the next DDR5 products will likely be much faster.

I've had it for over a week, but I finally managed to get a replacement daily driver phone. It's a 128GB iPhone 13 Pro in Silver, and I'm very, very happy with it so far. It's been pretty difficult to find in-stock due to shortages in combination with strong demand, but I got extremely lucky when a store had one and copped. My previous Galaxy Note8 now lives as my secondary device. Also, this took a pretty long time to settle due to shipping, but I finally managed to complete my ideal travel tripod; the Peak Design Travel Tripod in "Carbon F'N Fiber" paired with the Really Right Stuff BH-40.
-
So, know how the 128GB iPhone 13 Pro has ProRes recording limited to 1080p30 at its maximum due to storage limitations?
Yeah, apparently, ProCam somehow got around it...or so they claim.
-
Nah, they did. The prototype vehicles obviously didn't, but they definitely were headed that direction.

This isn't new. Google (now Waymo) has been experimenting with cars that do not require any intervention from the driver via the steering wheel and pedals for a couple of years, with the notion being that in the future, full self-driving cars may not require them at all. My opinions on this can reach 2 full pages, so I'm not going to say it. But I'm just going to point out that this isn't a new idea, just that Apple tends to get all the headlines when they do it.

Even though I own an iPhone 13 Pro (excellent phone Btw) and dearly hope that this is exactly what it looks like it is, given Apple's track record, I'm putting on my "healthy skepticism" hat for a bit.

Intel's Core i7-12700H Benchmarked Against Apple's M1 Max
D13H4RD replied to Lightwreather's topic in Tech News
Yep, but I still think it's better to run them in order to paint a more complete picture of the architectures strengths and weaknesses alongside other metrics such as software compatibility. That last bit is important because there's still several applications that either natively support Apple Silicon but is very iffy or still utilize Rosetta emulation. -
Intel's Core i7-12700H Benchmarked Against Apple's M1 Max
D13H4RD replied to Lightwreather's topic in Tech News
Yes, because it is actually a legitimate benchmark. The only problem I have with it is that a lot of reviewers just run a GB run and just use it to evaluate the overall performance. You should supplement it with various other benchmarks such as PugetBench, Cinebench R23 and such to paint a better overall picture of what it can and cannot do. -
The RAM is the reason I'm looking into the Max. I've frequently made 32GB look tiny with my files. M1 Pro would work fine, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the happiest doing 100+ megapixel HDR merging.
-
That depends on you. The iPhone 12 is already a pretty damn good phone, all things considered. The iPhone 13 makes small but meaningful improvements in key metrics, such as a brighter display, improved camera system (notably the main camera that was taken from the iPhone 12 Pro Max), bigger battery and smaller notch (it actually makes a bigger difference than it appears). For $50, you can very easily justify the jump to the iPhone 13 over the iPhone 12 for the battery alone, with the rest being an added bonus. IMHO, not really. 128GB is a lot of storage even by 2021 standards for more "basic" levels of use. 256GB is obviously recommended if you plan to store a lot of games/media or shoot plenty of video. My usual cardinal rule for buying Apple products has always been to buy the storage SKU that's a step above the baseline, but that's really mostly true for their products with asinine base storage configs (like 16GB vs. 64GB, or 32GB vs. 128GB). Unless you know for sure that you will be storing a lot of stuff locally, or you're buying a 13 Pro and know you'll be shooting 4K ProRes, 128GB is plenty. Although if you can afford the jump to 256GB, there's really nothing stopping you.

I'm honestly quite tempted by the 14" with the M1 Max. If my photography really does take off, this could be a very nice portable photo-editing machine that pairs well with the Nikon Z7ii

How to single-handedly ruffle the feathers of 2 different hardcore fanboy groups all at once.

There were plenty of reasons I made the switch Tbh. Chief of which is the software support timeline. Android is getting better in that regard but I feel that iOS devices just get supported for quite a bit longer still. My aging 12.9" Gen1 iPad Pro is on iPadOS 15.1 and whilst it's not exactly the smoothest running, it actually runs it quite decently.

Getting used to iOS on a daily driver phone is proving to actually be quite straightforward.
Just wished the default photos app had better organizational tools from the beginning.

16 minutes ago, AluminiumTech said:Kinda surprised you chose to move to IOS tbh given that Apple plans to implement backdoors into their software by the use of their Neural Network Scanning tech. For now it remains focussed on CSAM but it will one day be used for many other purposes.
I mean that program has been canceled until further notice. The latest development on it in a while has been Apple adding in the child protection text scanning feature as a parental control in upcoming versions.

AFAIK It hasn't been officially cancelled, only delayed.

Running 15.1 on my 13 Pro. Seems fine so far, but I'm also running it on Apple's latest and greatest, so YMMV
