Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Should I hate or love Apple right now?”.
I used to be just like you. I didn’t have a single tech news to my name and now look at me.. I’Ve got so much tech news. It’S oozing out of my pores [ Riley ] Thanks LTTStore.com I’ve got tech news, zits, [, Riley, ], Oh., That’s nice. Apple is infamous for make it ( clears throat ) less than easy to go. Get your expensive iJunk repaired at a third-party shop. But that looks like it might finally be: changing. Apple is going to start sending official parts to independent repair businesses, which will make it a lot easier for consumers to have their Mac. Serviced.. Reportedly Apple is even going to provide training resources, and you know. The only conclusion I can come up with here is that the Epic lawsuit hit them a bit too hard in the head ,’cause this is-.
What is it? This is not the Apple. I remember [ Riley ], I like it though. The move comes on the heels of explosive sales, growth for Macs as more people are working and learning from home. Wow Apple. You finally changed your ways and all it took was a worldwide pandemic.. On the subject of laptops, you may have noticed that it’s been a little tricker to come by an affordable one recently., Because so many school districts in the U.S.
are moving to online classes. As schools start back up for the fall, there is apparently a shortage of lower-cost laptops in the United States.. Chromebooks have been in especially high demand, as many households and school districts require only a laptop with basic functionality for virtual lessons. Wow.
That’S like kind of the opposite of a humblebrag. [ Riley ], It’s a humble-dis. Yeah, a humble-dis. In fact, Acer’s U.S.
division said that they weren’t even close to pumping out enough Chromebooks for all the students that want them. While another industry analyst has pointed out that laptop sales are up by as much as 40 %, The good news, though, is you’ll, probably still be able to get that beefy $ 4,000 gaming laptop you’ve been lusting after assuming that they ever give you another stimulus, check. By the way, please, please don’t use it on a $ 4,000 gaming. Laptop.
Speaking of budgets, though motherboards built around AMD’s budget A520 chipset have recently leaked Yes, my friends, we filled them with water and they did not hold the water. [ Riley ]. No, The A520’s big brothers, the X570 and B550 have already been around for a while, but the A520 will allow you to build a current-gen Ryzen system at a lower cost.. Now you will be giving up some features, notably CPU overclocking PCI, Express 4.0 SSDs and running your graphics card at x16 speed, but in terms of real-world performance that last one shouldn’t be too much of an issue.. Rumors indicate that Asus, MSI and Asrock will all be rolling out A520 boards as soon as this week, so keep your eye out for them. If the very idea of overclocking gives you anxiety.

Wow. The gloves are frickin’ off now. Aren’T they Epic has filed an injunction to stop this from happening and it’s clearly retaliatory, but if it does happen, Epic and not just Epic, any developer that uses Unreal Engine would be left unable to modify their games.
