    Time to increase taxes?

    Inflation is at 3%, public sector salary hikes have started, private sector is creeping up, minimum salaries have already determined hike-schedule. As long as government doesn't increase Personal Allowance & Higher rate boundaries, this will in effect be a tax hike. Coming from a nordic...

    Retina displays?

    You can always get a "small" 4K display. I run a 24" 4K Samsung screen. It supports retina scaling, has good colours and is nice in every other way, except that with newest Macbooks you'll need a USB-C - Display-port adapter. Those are cheap on Amazon. Can't compete on aesthetics though, so if...

    MacBook Pro CPU getting slow. Looking to upgrade, please help

    It means that you shouldn't put stuff from other retailers as ocuk doesn't like that. Why don't you check what application is actually using so much CPU? Do you run some custom code on top of your charting apps? If you have some bad functions that loop constantly and are badly written, they...

    Connecting 2016 Macbook Pro to Dell u2515h

    USB-c alternate mode should allow direct passthrough of displayport. Try getting a USB-C - display port cable. They should exists. I recommend to get it from place where you can make a return if it doesn't work.

    ** The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus Thread **

    So instead of this somehow being iPhone 7 bonus, it is the bonus from buying a new cable, that would have worked just as well in iPhone 6s, 6 or presumably even iPhone 5...?

    People Who Moved from Windows to MacOS. How was it?

    I think the primary thing is to understand that workflow needs to be based on the capabilities and features of the tools. Or choose the tools according to the workflow. But don't just randomly pick any tool and expect it to work the way your old tool used to. Let's imagine that your task is to...

    Where To Move House To In The UK?

    With those windows / roofs / windowed terrace walls whatnot he'll need about £250k / year just to keep it from freezing during the winter. I would not get anything like that unless it is somewhere south of Málaga, and even then think twice. :D

    ** The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus Thread **

    I agree. I only skimmed the article I posted and assuming the data you post is correct, then the Qualcomm baseband modem supports more bands than the Intel version. However: Couple of explanations could be at play things that should be noted here. Maybe european version could have different...

    ** The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus Thread **

    https://www.techwalls.com/iphone-7-plus-model-differences/ 2. A1778: The iPhone A1778 has a very similar cellular connectivity as the A1660, except that there is no support for TD-SCDMA and CDMA EV-DO Rev. A bands. Therefore, the phone won’t work properly on CDMA networks like Sprint or...

    ** The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus Thread **

    I'm guessing that the silver one is probably the most forgiving regarding visibility of scuffs.

    Pages,Numbers Download

    Hmm, do you have old versions installed on any mac? I still haven't upgraded to Sierra and my apparently old version of Numbers gives a popup every time I start it stating that I should upgrade to sierra and visit appstore for an update. I'm running 3.6.2 (2577) (Can be found from Numbers /...

    Apple to Introduce New Macs at October 27 Event

    I think the key travel is something that one gets used to. For example when my old wired Apple-desktop keyboard started missing keystrokes last year, I bought the new Magic keyboard and it really felt awkward for a while. Now I pulled the old wired keyboard from storage to adjust some bios...

    Apple to Introduce New Macs at October 27 Event

    You should be able to buy the applecare until the original 1y warranty period expires. At least this was the case couple of years ago when I was contemplating on getting the applecare for family 13" rmbp. Salesperson said that I have 12months to decide...

    Apple to Introduce New Macs at October 27 Event

    I almost exclusively change between apps using mission control. I've bound it to 4 finger swipe upwards i think... Also, I have virtual desktops (spaces) next to each other and I've set four finger swipe sideways to jump between them. Big touchpad should make the gestures a breeze.

    Apple to Introduce New Macs at October 27 Event

    I've visited multiple stores in UK and Denmark over the past couple of weeks and 13" bottom end models are on display everywhere. I've yet to spot 15" touchbar versions, but on the other hand I've been mostly interested in the Apple Watch section of the store and only shorty stopped by at the...

    Airport extreme

    Airport extreme made sense years ago when proper 3x3:3 AC-basestations were hard to find and expensive. Now other manufacturers have upped their game and there is less reason to get airport. For someone using a mac, I can recommend time capsule as it makes backing up the mac a breeze. However...

    What on Earth have they done?

    This is a work of marketing genius. They insult few brits and in exhange every single person outside of UK feels good about themselves, because they still have access to proper Toblerone and they even get to laugh on someones harmless misfortune.

    Apple to Introduce New Macs at October 27 Event

    Having just visited apple store just to have a look at the new 13" machine, I would not use word 'vastly' in this situation. Comparing new MBP13 and MB 12", it is indeed better / firmer, but the difference is not huge. But it is a meaningful difference nonetheless. Wife was also positive about...
