If you’re still around, here are some juicy WatchOS bugs: https://lemmy.world/post/28799882
Great points - I’ve been thinking the same thing for YEARS now!
I must confess to having a sweet spot for a good toffee hammer.
This leads to a modified version of the uncertainty principle: either you have a banana and can know the size of something or you have positrons and are unable to measure size.
Yep, that’s the problem 😭 If Apple just finished their driver then it would work.
I suspect they’re protecting Thunderbolt hub manufacturers and DisplayLink, as Apple don’t sell a daisy-chainable Thunderbolt monitor or their own hub/docking station so I can’t see any other reason not to just implement it.
I suspect that this is a feature, or at least a partner-related market decision, rather than a bug, and I suspect the most you’ll be able to say is “the weather is nice today” or “thank you for sharing this”, buuuut…
DisplayPort 1.2 Multi-Stream Transport: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253432530?sortBy=rank
With a full implementation of DisplayPort 1.2 MST it should be possible to output to two independent (non-mirrored) monitors over a single USB-C port. This can be via an MST hub/dongle or using monitors that support DisplayPort MST daisy chaining. This is a core part of the spec to the point that my Steam Deck supports this.
macOS, however, will treat MST displays as targets for mirroring instead of separate displays. The only way to have an elegant “one wire” experience with a MacBook is to use a much more expensive Thunderbolt dock or a dock that uses a DisplayLink chipset which requires a driver to be installed (as DisplayLink are a company unrelated to DisplayPort).
It’s worth noting that macOS does support MST in the form of two video streams for one very high-resolution monitor, which is kind of interesting.
I’d love it if we could use MST docks/hubs/splitters with macOS rather than either needing expensive third-party peripherals or plugging multiple wires into our MacBooks. Especially because most office setups I’ve seen recently use MST hubs if they offer dual monitors!
Thanks for reading this far, and more importantly thank you for soliciting feedback in this forum and manner. Best of luck!
That looks pretty cool indeed! 🤩 Very nice!
I hope that you eventually build Linux and Mac clients, as personally my Steam Deck has replaced my Windows gaming PC and I’m not convinced that I’ll ever go back to Windows at this point.
I dunno, man. I don’t think the NT kernel is open source, is it?
No RAM. Only ROM.
Keep the black side down and ATGATT.
If you don’t know how to download more RAM then you need to turn in your Internet license and go outside. Sorry, I don’t make the rules.
So the new Mac Mini can do more than most people need for a cheaper price than most people would expect.
Sounds awesome!
Pictures for Sad Children was a great webcomic. Thank you for posting these.
I like to think that he forgets, keeps trying and then makes a new post about it
That was my first thought as well. I thought I’d try the first 10 minutes to get a sense of it.
Anyway, four hours later…
If it’s your car, then you are responsible for the safety of your passengers. You should ensure that any adults are aware of how to use the safety features, e.g. seatbelts, and you have a plan for evacuation of any children in the event of an emergency. Just like if you’re driving a car with child safety locks on the rear doors that prevent those doors from being opened from the inside.
Hate on Tesla or Musk all you want, but let’s not spread easily-disprovable FUD. It weakens whatever argument you’re trying to make.
Easy: it was once on the island of Lesbos, but it’s now in its rightful place in the British Museum and there is shall remain!
