I just bought the fucking thing.

It's going to replace a 2008 Mac Pro.

“Apple today released a wireless Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad priced at $129 in the United States. The wired version has been discontinued.”

Let’s hope I don’t need another one of those.

the ghost of markers, Tuesday, 6 June 2017 01:08 (six years ago) link

Love too charge my keyboard!

the ghost of markers, Tuesday, 6 June 2017 01:08 (six years ago) link

when I got a new work laptop I decided to treat myself to a new keyboard for the desktop and I bought the microsoft surface wireless one

it is a pretty good copy of the apple one! it takes aaa batteries though, and they're supposed to last a year

the only weirdness is that there's no spacing between the alpha/home&arrow/numpad areas

mh, Tuesday, 6 June 2017 01:15 (six years ago) link

oh yeah, and I had to break work's arcane "windows 7 is standard" policy for windows 10, because microsoft made it require bluetooth 4 which has the low energy profile. so it probably takes less energy than apple's?

These motherfuckers...

LUCKILY, I have a brand new one of those things on the yet to be used desk in my bedroom! And I’m typing on one to all of you beautiful people right now. But they’re being replaced.

the ghost of markers, Tuesday, 6 June 2017 01:42 (six years ago) link

And the new ones are over a hundred dollars for a fucking keyboard.

the ghost of markers, Tuesday, 6 June 2017 01:42 (six years ago) link

And you have to charge them.

the ghost of markers, Tuesday, 6 June 2017 01:42 (six years ago) link

And I know there's going to be an update that will cheerfully say to me afterwards, "The device connected to the USB port cannot be recognized..."

thanks, mh - those are terrible. Maybe made on iOS 11 alpha?

Yeah, I set aside the one that came with my current imac when I got it 3-4 years ago and forgot about it until a couple of weeks ago. Glad I've got a spare.

Given the lack of ports on anything Mac today I'm okay with a wireless keyboard. I used one of the Logitech ones for a long time.

Stop it!

I've got a Logitech at work, but it doesn't have the little green light in the caps key, which I miss much more than I would.

pplains, Tuesday, 6 June 2017 05:57 (six years ago) link

Than I thought I would... Too busy looking at markers' keyboard while typing that.

pplains, Tuesday, 6 June 2017 05:57 (six years ago) link

ugh $129, bullshit. i loved the wired one, but my newest iMac came by default with the short, number pad-less bt version

Nhex, Tuesday, 6 June 2017 08:55 (six years ago) link

for $129 just get this (i have it and it's great)

Fun part about spending tons of money on something is it leads you to need to spend tons more money on other things. Now also looking at an OWC 4 bay thunderbolt enclosure. Fun times.

dan selzer, Tuesday, 6 June 2017 16:42 (six years ago) link

I'm thinking about getting an external Thunderbolt GPU thingy :(

Is there a specific date for Amazon on AppleTV?

a warm bowl of soap (WilliamC), Tuesday, 6 June 2017 18:25 (six years ago) link

Not yet.

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 6 June 2017 18:26 (six years ago) link

Hoping this increases the possibility that eventually Apple Music will be integrated with the Echo.

Jeff, Tuesday, 6 June 2017 18:40 (six years ago) link

so not gonna happen

is it time to upgrade my macbook pro yet? it's still running fine (Mid 2012 model) and i've been holding out for a must have pro upgrade.

Mordy, Tuesday, 6 June 2017 19:28 (six years ago) link

I'd wait a year. Seems like Apple got a wake-up call on pro stuff after the last MBP.

Uhura Mazda (lukas), Tuesday, 6 June 2017 21:08 (six years ago) link

I kinda hate my new MBP. does nothing better than my 2012 and has a bunch of annoyances that I didn't have before.

sounds like what people need is BIG IPAD instead

Jeff, I’m an Apple Music subscriber and we have an Echo in the kitchen here. Is there any way to the audio from, like, my phone to the Echo now? Bluetooth? Anything? Probably not?

the ghost of markers, Tuesday, 6 June 2017 22:10 (six years ago) link

Yeah you can do it with Bluetooth, it's just not as easy as saying Alexa play this from Apple Music. I subscribe to amazon music unlimited too, but it doesn't have everything I want and the app UI is terrible.

Jeff, Tuesday, 6 June 2017 22:16 (six years ago) link

Ah, thanks. Better than nothing, I guess!

I haven't seen the demo, but Affinity's osx software is pretty nice.

It actually looked great on iOS, will have to look at the workflow with files in 11.

what is the app with the series of color blobs at the top of their iPad marketing page?

mh, Wednesday, 7 June 2017 03:41 (six years ago) link

planet of the apps has gone up on apple music if anyone cares

why is the BIG IPAD PRO not offered in rose gold but the SMALL IPAD PRO offered?
