Note: Sorry for the radio silence! Long story short, the latest MacBook Pro seems to have some kind of line-wide defect. When I first bought it last year, the screen died a day later. And I got another one, and it worked fine for like a year and then about three weeks ago the screen died again. I took it to the Apple Store for a repair, they fixed it, I got it...and the screen died again. And so I had to get it fixed all over again. Unfortunately I opted for the 64gb ram version, which they don't sell in stores. So every time I need it fixed, it takes a week to order in the parts. Needless to say, this has completely made me unable to edit the show or any other videos. But I've got my computer back now and it seems to be going strong, so we'll be back to regular posting.--BACK OUR PATREON!https://bit.ly/deepcutspatreonCHECK OUT OUR NEW YOUTUBE CHANNEL!https://bit.ly/mysterytreehouse--If you lived in New York in the '80s or '90s and had a taste for the weird corners of cable television, you might have stumbled upon a public access show called Dirge of the Charlatans. It aired at strange hours and looked like something taped in a janitor's closet. Its host was a manic street corner preacher in a cheap suit who punched up at politicians, crooked police, and the government at large. But his passion was infectious, and at least once, hauntingly on point. --Written by Adam Smith--Join our Discord server!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/deepcutsdiscord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠--Pick up some Deep Cuts T-Shirts and other merch!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/deepcutsmerch⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠--Get the official Deep Cuts shoulder patch!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://bit.ly/deepcuts_patch⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠--Listen to our album, a 9 song rock opera about the rise and fall of Napster!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/album/63C5uu1tkzZ2FhfsrSSf5s?si=q4WItoNmRUeM159TxKLWew

Apple just announced seven new products, including the new iPhone 17e, the MacBook Neo, refreshed MacBook Pro models, and updated iPad Air and Studio Displays. In this episode of YourTechReport, Marc Aflalo and Mitchell Whitfield break down the biggest announcements and what they mean for Apple's product lineup. The new iPhone 17e delivers a surprising amount of performance for the price. It includes the A19 chip, Apple Intelligence support, MagSafe, improved battery life, and a refined 48-megapixel Fusion camera. At $599, it offers many flagship features while skipping some high-end options like ProMotion and multi-lens cameras.  The bigger surprise may be the MacBook Neo, Apple's lowest-cost laptop yet. Powered by the A18 Pro chip, the same processor used in the iPhone 16 Pro, the Neo challenges the traditional Mac lineup by delivering performance that rivals older MacBook Air models at a significantly lower price.  Marc and Mitchell also discuss the broader shift happening across Apple's lineup. As entry-level devices become more powerful, the differences between “standard,” “Air,” and “Pro” products are getting harder for consumers to understand. Is Apple preparing to restructure its entire product lineup? This episode explores how Apple's latest releases may signal a major shift in how the company positions its devices moving forward.

This week's been wild — Iran bombed AWS data centers to take down Claude, OpenAI dropped GPT-5.4 (and it's seriously good for coding), and living brain cells are literally playing DOOM. We've also got a heartfelt take on what it feels like to be a 10x engineer in the age of AI, plus some cool new tools like Handy for speech-to-text and web haptics. Oh, and new MacBook Pros with M5 Pro and M5 Max are up for pre-order. Try not to impulse buy (or do).

Analizamos el lanzamiento más sorprendente y dominante de la semana: el nuevo y económico MacBook Neo. Comentamos cómo Apple ha creado este portátil integrando el chip A18 Pro de los iPhone, buscando conquistar a estudiantes y usuarios que priorizan el ecosistema de la marca.Explicamos que, aunque presenta recortes técnicos evidentes como los 8 GB de RAM unificada o la inclusión de puertos USB 2.0, su precio de derribo y su rendimiento lo convierten en una amenaza directa para el mercado tradicional de PC de gama media.También repasamos las actualizaciones del resto del catálogo de portátiles, comenzando por el MacBook Air, que da el salto al chip M5 como una actualización de transición y abandona por fin los 256 GB de almacenamiento base. Profundizamos en el verdadero salto tecnológico que suponen los nuevos MacBook Pro equipados con los chips M5 Pro y M5 Max; detallamos cómo Apple ha rediseñado su arquitectura introduciendo los nuevos "supernúcleos" y destacamos su brutal rendimiento gráfico, el cual permite a desarrolladores ejecutar modelos pesados de inteligencia artificial en local con una eficiencia energética sin precedentes.Para terminar, exploramos la renovación de los monitores de escritorio de Apple, y el nuevo iPhone 17e, debatiendo en profundidad si realmente merece la pena frente al modelo estándar. Explicamos cómo, aunque esta versión económica mejora notablemente respecto a la generación anterior al incorporar por fin tecnología MagSafe y duplicar su almacenamiento base, sigue presentando recortes drásticos, como mantener una pantalla a 60 Hz, una única cámara trasera y una anticuada conexión USB 2.0.

Dave Ginsburg is joined by Mike Potter, Chuck Joiner, Marty Jencius, Jill McKinley, and Eric Bolden to break down a big week of Apple news. The panel discusses visionOS 26.4 beta updates, iOS 26.4 beta, the new iPhone 17e, M4 iPad Air, and refreshed MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models with M5 chips. The biggest debate centers around Apple's brand-new MacBook Neo, a $599 MacBook designed to compete with Chromebooks in education. Is it a smart gateway device for new users or an underpowered compromise? The panel shares strong opinions while also discussing Apple's strategy for expanding the Mac ecosystem.

The discussion begins with updates across Apple's platforms, including visionOS 26.4 beta 3, which appears to focus mainly on bug fixes and stability improvements as Apple prepares the platform for a future release. The panel shares their early impressions of the update process and discusses how developers are continuing to explore new possibilities around XR streaming and immersive experiences on Vision Pro. The group then moves into Apple's latest software updates, including iOS 26.3.1 and iOS 26.4 beta 3, along with updates for iPadOS, tvOS, and watchOS. While many of the updates are minor, Apple continues refining features such as Apple Music's Playlist Playground and preparing Apple Podcasts for native video podcast support. The panel also notes Apple's continued improvements to system security and stability while reminding listeners that beta software should still be used cautiously on primary devices. A major part of the episode focuses on Apple's latest hardware announcements. The panel begins with the iPhone 17e, Apple's new entry-level iPhone that includes the A19 chip, improved portrait photography, MagSafe support, and a 256GB base storage configuration while maintaining a competitive $599 starting price. The group discusses how this model could become the ideal recommendation for many users who want a reliable iPhone without paying for a higher-end Pro model. They also explore how the device could work well as a travel phone, a secondary phone, or a practical upgrade for family members who want simplicity and value. Next, the panel examines the newly refreshed iPad Air with the M4 chip, which now includes 12GB of RAM, Wi-Fi 7, and Apple's N1 wireless networking chip. The panel largely agrees that the iPad Air continues to be the "sweet spot" in Apple's tablet lineup, offering powerful performance without the premium cost of an iPad Pro. They discuss how the Air remains the most common recommendation for everyday users who want a capable iPad for productivity, media consumption, and general use. The conversation then shifts to the Mac side of Apple's announcements. Apple updated the Studio Display with Thunderbolt 5 support and upgraded internals, though the panel debates whether the premium pricing makes sense compared to other high-quality displays on the market. The discussion continues with Apple's updates to the MacBook Air with the M5 chip and the MacBook Pro with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, which bring major performance gains, increased base storage, and improved graphics capabilities. Dave shares that he plans to upgrade his own MacBook Pro to an M5 Pro model, while the panel reflects on how dramatically Apple Silicon has improved Mac performance since the M1 era. The biggest debate of the episode centers around Apple's surprising announcement of the MacBook Neo, a brand-new entry-level MacBook starting at $599 and powered by an A18 Pro chip. Designed to compete directly with Chromebooks in education markets, the Neo introduces a new tier in Apple's laptop lineup. The panel dives into a lively discussion about whether the Neo represents a smart strategy to expand Apple's reach or a compromise that may struggle with longevity due to its limited memory and ports. Mike Potter delivers a passionate critique, arguing that the device feels like a disposable computer aimed primarily at schools, while other panelists see it as a secure, well-built, and affordable entry point for students, travelers, and users who need a simple Mac for basic tasks. The conversation also explores how the Neo might introduce a new generation of users to macOS while potentially competing with low-cost Windows laptops and Chromebooks. Some panelists see it as a gateway device that could lead users to upgrade to more powerful Macs later, while others question whether a refurbished MacBook Air might be a better long-term option. To close the show, Mike Potter shares updates on MacStock 10, including expanded programming, the addition of Ecamm's Creator Camp, and a new Saturday evening event that will be announced soon. The panel reflects on how MacStock continues to grow each year as an important gathering for Apple enthusiasts and creators.

On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we discuss Apple's concentrated week of announcements that saw the introduction of 10 new products.The most significant announcement of the week was the MacBook Neo, an all-new entry-level Apple laptop that starts at $599. The ‌MacBook Neo‌ is designed to compete with lower-cost Windows laptops and Chromebooks, while expanding the Mac lineup with a substantially more affordable option.Unlike every other Apple silicon Mac, the ‌MacBook Neo‌ is powered by the A18 Pro chip originally developed for the iPhone 16 Pro, making it the first Mac to use an iPhone-class processor instead of an M-series chip. The machine features a rounded, colorful design available in Silver, Indigo, Blush, and Citrus finishes, with matching keyboards and wallpapers that give it a more playful appearance than Apple's existing notebooks. At 2.7 pounds, it weighs the same as a MacBook Air.It offers a 13-inch Liquid Retina display with uniform, iPad-style bezels rather than a notch, a Magic Keyboard, a mechanical trackpad, two USB-C ports, 8GB of memory, a headphone jack, a 1080p camera, dual mics, dual speakers with Spatial Audio, and a battery life rated for up to 16 hours.Apple also updated several existing devices with modest specification improvements. The iPhone 17e retains the same design and price as the iPhone 16e but adds the A19 chip, MagSafe support, Apple's second-generation C1X modem, and 256GB of base storage.The 11- and 13-inch iPad Air gained the M4 chip, 12GB of RAM, Wi-Fi 7 support via Apple's N1 wireless chip, and the same C1X modem in cellular models. Meanwhile, the 13- and 15-inch ‌MacBook Air‌ were upgraded with the M5 chip and a higher base storage capacity of 512GB, though the removal of the 256GB option increased the starting price to $1,099.At the high end of the Mac lineup, Apple refreshed the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with the new M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, introducing a "Fusion Architecture" that bonds two 3nmdies together into a single processor. These models also gained faster SSD speeds, higher base storage, and Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6 via the N1 chip. Battery life increased slightly across the lineup, while GPU cores now include dedicated Neural Accelerators intended to improve AI workloads.Apple also expanded its display lineup with a new Studio Display XDR model, replacing the Pro Display XDR. The new model offers a 27-inch 5K mini-LED panel with up to a 120Hz refresh rate, HDR brightness up to 2,000 nits, and Thunderbolt 5 connectivity. The standard ‌Studio Display‌ was updated at the same time with two Thunderbolt 5 ports, improved speakers, and a camera that now supports Desk View, but retains its 60Hz panel and 600-nit brightness.All of the newly announced devices became available to pre-order on Wednesday, March 4, with the entire lineup scheduled to launch and begin arriving to customers on Wednesday, March 11.Get the right life insurance for you, for less, and save more than fifty percent at https://www.selectquote.com/macrumors00:00 - Intro01:17 - iPhone 17e06:42 - M4 iPad Air08:46 - M5 MacBook Air11:53 - Sponsor: SelectQuote13:40 - MacBook Pro: M5 Pro and M5 Max Overview21:30 - Studio Display25:58 - Studio Display XDR38:05 - Introducing the MacBook Neo

Apple enchaîne les annonces en ce début mars avec une rafale de nouveautés grand public. Ordinateurs, smartphone d'entrée de gamme et tablette polyvalente : tour d'horizon des produits et de ce qu'ils disent de la stratégie de la marque.MacBook Neo : le Mac “accessible” à 700 €Apple lance le MacBook Neo, un portable 13 pouces au châssis aluminium, pensé pour le grand public et surtout pour les étudiants. Affiché à partir de 700 €, il mise sur une puce A18 Pro (issue de l'univers iPhone) pour privilégier l'efficacité énergétique et une autonomie annoncée autour d'une journée en usage standard.En configuration de base, on trouve 8 Go de RAM et 256 Go de stockage, avec une montée à 512 Go. La connectique reste minimaliste (deux ports USB-C et une prise casque) et certaines fonctions sont réservées aux versions supérieures (comme le Touch ID sur la déclinaison 512 Go, selon les informations évoquées dans l'épisode). Apple met aussi en avant des coloris plus “jeunes”, et une remise étudiante visant clairement le monde de l'éducation.MacBook Air et MacBook Pro : la puce M5 partoutPas de révolution esthétique, mais une mise à jour musclée : le MacBook Air passe à la puce M5, avec des promesses de gains en performances, en graphisme et en traitements liés à l'IA locale, ainsi qu'une réactivité accrue (sortie de veille quasi instantanée, selon Apple). L'appareil conserve son positionnement : ultraportable, silencieux, sans refroidissement mécanique.Sur la gamme pro, les MacBook Pro adoptent les déclinaisons M5 Pro et M5 Max, destinées aux usages intensifs : montage vidéo, 3D, compilation, développement et exécution de modèles d'IA en local. Une tendance de fond se dessine : faire tourner davantage de calculs “sur la machine”, plutôt que d'envoyer systématiquement tout vers le cloud.iPhone 17e : entrée de gamme, mais pas au rabaisApple ajoute un modèle plus abordable à sa gamme avec l'iPhone 17e. Au programme : puce A19, compatibilité MagSafe, connectivités modernisées (5G, Wi-Fi) et un design ajusté (bordures plus fines, nouveau coloris). Surtout, le stockage de base passe à 256 Go, sans hausse de prix annoncée par rapport au modèle précédent, autour de 720 € dans l'épisode.L'angle est clair : un iPhone “d'accès” qui conserve l'essentiel, sans les raffinements photo/vidéo des versions les plus premium, tout en restant prêt pour l'IA embarquée… même si Apple doit encore concrétiser sa promesse sur ce terrain.iPad Air M4 : l'iPad polyvalent se rapproche du ProL'iPad Air évolue lui aussi avec l'arrivée de la puce M4, rapprochant ses performances de celles d'un iPad Pro. Apple maintient sa recette : une tablette “à tout faire”, aussi à l'aise en divertissement qu'en productivité avec clavier et stylet.Deux tailles sont proposées (11 et 13 pouces), avec du Wi-Fi 7 et une option 5G. Le but : couvrir aussi bien l'usage “canapé” que les usages plus sérieux en mobilité, dans la lignée de l'iPad-ordinateur que la marque tente de pousser depuis des années.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Apple lo ha vuelto a hacer. Pero esta vez no ha sido un "más de lo mismo con mejor nota". El 3 de marzo de 2026 presentó los chips M5 Pro y M5 Max integrados en los nuevos MacBook Pro, y lo que hay dentro es el cambio de arquitectura más importante desde que llegó el M1. No hablamos de más núcleos ni de un proceso de fabricación más fino. Hablamos de repensar desde cero cómo se construye un chip. En este episodio desmontamos la Fusion Architecture pieza a pieza: qué es un die, por qué dividirlo en dos cambia las reglas del juego, qué implica para la disipación térmica, para la fabricación y para el futuro de Apple Silicon. Hablamos de los Neural Accelerators integrados en cada núcleo GPU, del aumento del ancho de banda del Neural Engine, de los 614 GB/s de memoria del M5 Max y de por qué eso importa más que los GHz cuando hablamos de inteligencia artificial en local. Y hacemos la comparativa con NVIDIA que todo el mundo hace pero casi nadie hace bien: CUDA vs MLX, H100 vs M5 Max, datacenter vs mochila. Sin banderas. Con números reales.

Segundo día y Apple pisa el acelerador dando todo lo que podríamos esperar. Te lo cuento en este capítulo 2926.Si te gustan los temas de Emilcar Daily, Weekly te va a encantar.

Alles over het Apple-voorjaarsoffensief in deze aflevering van die Bright Podcast. We bellen met Erwin die er in Londen bij is, en bespreken alles van de nieuwe MacBook Neo, maar ook de upgrades voor de MacBook Air en MacBook Pro. En natuurlijk de iPhone 17e, de vernieuwde iPad Airen de nieuwe Studio Displays. Verder in deze aflevering: de meest opvallende dingen van Mobile World Congress, onze grote accutest-test, het einde van de budget-pc en het de Odido-hack wordt er maar niet beter op. Sponsor: Check de TechControl videoserie van LVNL en ontdek de technische wereld achter ons vliegverkeer. Ga naar komwerkenbijlvnl.nl/techcontrol Tips uit deze aflevering: Gadget: R36S of vergelijkbare, betaalbare retro-handhelds. Tim ontdekte die van hem opnieuw tijdens het opruimen. Met de zomer in aantocht een leuke gadget voor op het strand, want met die lage prijzen en groot game-aanbod kun je je geen buil vallen. Op allebei sites voor een paar tientjes te vinden. App: HazeOver, een Mac-app waarmee je alle achterliggende vensters een donkerder tintje kan geven. Daarmee wordt het duidelijker wat het actieve venster is en dan weet je ineens dat je dat miste. Standaard staat ie op 35 procent dimmen van niet-actieve vensters, je kan dat gelukkig zelf aanpassen want dat is nogal fors. Kost 6 euro en blijkbaar is dat de prijs die je neertelt voor het fixen van Apple’s interface-problemen. Bright: We hebben sinds vorige week eigen verticale video's op Bright.

The hosts preview an upcoming Patreon episode about self-hosted, locally run AI for clients who want AI-powered editing without sending sensitive content to cloud services like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude. Jerry describes setting up a local AI system for a client to refresh medically based academic writings while keeping privacy, noting most of the solution was free aside from the computer, and contrasts this with internet-connected autonomous AI bots that require credentials and could be influenced by other bots online. The conversation broadens into Patreon topics about business operations, client attrition and return, and discussing sensitive client situations more freely.   They discuss hardware and product preferences, including choosing iPhone models (with repeated recommendations for an iPhone Pro), interest in a MacBook with built-in cellular to avoid carrier hotspot throttling, and debates about MacBook Pro battery life versus MacBook Air. Sam explains he switched work email to Outlook on Mac and iPhone due to Apple Mail reliability issues and to better separate work from personal notifications, while others compare Apple Mail smart mailboxes to Outlook's saved searches and discuss organizing workflows with smart folders and flags.   Sam recounts testing whether an iPad could serve as a second travel workstation for a client who relies on an on-prem Mac server (SMB file sharing and FileMaker Server). They run into clunky SMB workflows in iPad Files/Word, inability to favorite deep SMB paths, OneDrive-first behavior in Word, and a FileMaker version mismatch where an older iPad (limited to iOS 16) can't connect to the newer FileMaker server. They consider shortcuts like web clips but conclude a second MacBook would be simpler.   The episode also covers a bug on iOS/macOS 26 where Microsoft 365 accounts in Apple's native Internet Accounts setup appear authenticated but don't actually work, leading them to use Outlook as a workaround and consider resetting MFA/credentials. They close with a story about extending the usability of a 10-year-old MacBook Pro by installing Firefox ESR, and discuss typical Mac lifespan expectations and guidance for clients on replacement timelines.   00:00 Self‑Hosted AI Teaser: Keeping Client Content Private 02:20 Wild West AI Agents: Credentials, Bot Networks & Security Risks 03:34 On‑Prem vs Cloud (and Why VPN Matters) 05:19 Patreon Plug: Business Ops, Client Attrition & "Juicy Stories" 08:16 iPhone Upgrade Debate: Pro vs Air, Foldables & Pro Cameras 09:04 Dream MacBook Features: Built‑In Cellular, OLED & Battery Life 15:42 Switching Mail Clients: Outlook for Work, Sanity on iPhone 18:28 Email Overload & Smart Mailboxes: Apple Mail vs Outlook Searches 26:56 iPad as a Work Device?

Apple's dropping a wave of new products this week — and Tom and Jeff break down everything that's expected: a budget MacBook starting around $600, an iPhone 16E follow-up, iPad updates for the non-Pro models, and possible MacBook Pro upgrades with M5 Pro and Max chips. It's a preview packed with speculation, opinions, and the occasional tangent about fingerprints on laptop screens.Then things get analog. Tom just joined Jeff in the Field Notes notebook club, and they talk about why a pocket-sized paper notebook has become a surprisingly useful tool alongside all the digital gear. They also cover two weather apps worth knowing about — Acme Weather (from the Dark Sky team) and what's new in Carrot Weather 6.4.Enjoy the show?
