  • Thoughts On MagSafe

    I’ve been reading and thinking about the new MagSafe feature of the iPhone 12 models. First, I don’t really think this technology is comparable to the old MagSafe on Apple MacBooks. I personally don’t think it’s worthy of the name, as there’s nothing specifically safe about it; If your dog trips over the cord, your […]?

  • Reply Feature In Apple Messages

    I found a new reply feature in messages this weekend. It was added in iOS 14. Basically it allows you to reply to a specific message, showing an obvious visual reference to the parent message and creating a thread. This could be very handy when you have multiple questions or conversations happening at the same […]?

  • Apple Launches Apple One (Service Bundles)

    Today, Apple officially launched its bundled services, Apple One.

  • Experiments V: Dark Universe

    Apple published a video recently showing off the low-light capabilities of the iPhone 12 Pro (and Pro Max). This video is very stylized footage shot in very low light with some very creative techniques. It’s an incredibly impressive video, although it doesn’t really show anything resembling real life. Unfortunately, they chose to shoot this video […]?

  • Tesla Releases Beta For Full Self-Drive

    Tesla has released a beta version of their Full Self-Driving upgrade to some early testers.

  • Quibi Is Gone

    So, it’s official. Quibi has shut down. Quibi seemed like a strange idea from the start, and surely wasn’t executed very well. I saw a bunch of their shows advertised on Amazon Prime, and a couple looked interesting, but not enough to get me to try out the service; I never even looked into if […]?

    The embargo for reviewing the new iPhones 12 was lifted. These phones should be in customers hands starting this Friday. I don’t have a review myself, as I’m holding out for the iPhone 12 Pro Max; hopefully I can actually hold such a big phone. Here are some of the reviews I personally enjoyed: Unfortunately, […]?

  • 3d.ca Is Back

    3d.ca has been offline for way too long. Life happens. Priorities change. Well I thought it was time to bring the site back. I’ll now be focusing on a broader range of subjects. This won’t be only about the latest video cards anymore. I’ll be covering all sorts of tech-related news, events, hardware and software. […]?
