    Gurman: This is interesting. Apple just got FCC approval for a network adapter/wireless router for use in factories, internally, and in stores. Codenamed “Meerkat.” This won’t be sold to consumers.

    Deep Sleep 3D, Is this the highest quality nature, rain and thunder sounds app in App Store? Since I couldn't find a good nature sounds app with very high quality audio (actual recordings and NOT computer generated), I wrote one myself. I want to know if I really did it right. What do you think?

    2019 MacBook Pro Died x5 Times in 6 mos, WHY??

    Posted: 15 May 2020 04:43 AM PDT

    As above, I bought a 2019 13 inch MacBook Pro in November 2019 and since then it has gone completely dead 5 times, approximately after a month each time. The first three times it was repaired by Apple (logic board, display replaced). After that, Apple replaced the device with a brand new one. That one broke after 2 months, and I sent it back to Apple yesterday for repair.

    I am frustrated by this and feel that Apple hasn't been able to determine the root cause and is repeatedly repairing something and not getting to the core of the problem.

    How I use it: at my desk plugged in all day, shut down when I'm done working, stays plugged in overnight. Connected to a usb c hub with power pass through. I have replaced the charger (brick and cable) and the hub with a different brand all together.

    I am at a loss, why does this keep happening? Do I have any recourse with Apple to get a refund and start over if this keeps happening?

    The Reinvention of iPad

    What Apple could be doing with those cloud engineers...

    Posted: 15 May 2020 02:13 AM PDT

    So apparently Apple has been on a hiring spree to acquire talented cloud engineers. Various people who have been instrumental in creating the cloud infrastructure that developers today know and love are now working at Apple. And I'm here thinking: why are they doing that?

    Not that I don't think Apple needs to finally join Team Cloud and seriously invest in their services division. Not that I don't think the tooling around cloud development could use the investment. But I do wonder why they felt they needed to hire those specific engineers. I mean, the cloud tools are there, they work, they're just waiting to be used by Apple; the problem is not in the tooling...

    But let's zoom out a bit and look at the bigger picture here. Apple is often not the first party to enter a specific market segment. There were other tablets before the iPad came along; same with the iPod, iPhone or any other new piece of Apple hardware. The difference is that the products Apple came up with were fundamentally better than what the competition had been doing.

    So what I'm proposing is that Apple may be looking at a way to provide a fundamentally better cloud computing experience.

    Right now, if a business wants to move (part of) its infrastructure to the cloud, they need a team of highly-specialised system administrators to do the heavy lifting (source: I'm personally doing just that for a small non-profit right now). Making cloud infrastructure work together with on-site systems is even more involved (as anyone who has ever set up an Azure VPN to do AAD-synchronisation can attest).

    What if all that were seamless? What if any time a freelancer or small business added a disk to their local computer, the storage would automatically become available in iCloud? What if heavy processing jobs could be seamlessly farmed out to iCloud and to that blazingly-fast Mac Pro that's being shared between employees? What if everyone could have a completely silent passively cooled tablet and still enjoy the sheer processing power a desktop system has to offer?

    I think that's where this hiring spree, as well as Xcode on iPad Pros and the switch to ARM suddenly start to make sense...
