9to5Mac on ‘compute module’ in iOS 16.4 code, what is it referring to?

An article by Jeff Benjamin at 9to5 mac speculates on the ‘compute module’ in iOS 16.4 code.

I hope it really is for the Mac Pro, but honestly I doubt it. I think the Mac Pro will be a higher end Mac Studio, with more Thunderbolt ports. After the seeming upgrade-ability of the last Mac Pro which only had PCI slot upgrades, I just doubt they are making some upgrade-able aspect to the Mac Pro.

It seems much more likely to be a processor for the Reality Pro headset.

No Film School on how you should use ProRAW vs. ProRES on an iPhone

James DeRuvo from No Film School has a great article on ProRAW for Photos and ProRES for Video on the iPhone.

The one thing that doesn’t get touched on, which always drives me nuts about the iPhone is not only that the video frame rate tends to drift, but also that there is a 24FPS but not 23.976. I know 24 is film, but most people shoot everything for video which is 23.976 in the US, and most of Apple’s stuff should be for TV.

Apple Podcast app needs individual podcast controls for Playback speed

Apple’s Podcast app is a good app., and getting new features soon (according to MacRumors), but what it really needs is the ability to remember playback speed on a per podcast basis.

I listen to news podcasts that I always listen to at 2x speed, and then music podcasts, that need to be listened to at 1x speed so the music is correct and it is annoying to change the setting every time. You already set podcast feeds to have individual controls to how they are shown (in what order, newest or oldest first. All I ask it to allow a setting to always playback at the speed you select.

Scott Simons at PVC on how to Unlock all the Resolve for iPad pages with this simple trick

This is very cool.

It basically shows that the whole software is in here, but not activated for iPad yet, so that means it will likely be added in eventually.

I have seen people who are so negative on DaVinci for iPad, but I am psyched for it. To me it is basically the first full pro software for the ipad and I can’t wait to use it it with my Blackmagic camera.

AppleInsider has a disturbing article on extended file attributes in iCloud

Chip Loder has this article on How to store extended file attributes in iCloud.

I hate that any of this is necessary, because iCloud should not be doing anything to your files. It is the whole problem with iTunes and it’s cloud services that can ruin your whole iTunes Library.

Apple needs to fix this, but I think they see it as a feature not a bug.
