Dramatic Unboxing of Apple's $700 Mac Pro After-Purchase Wheels Kit

https://ift.tt/nvEILJ

Last month, Apple introduced a Mac Pro Wheels Kit designed for the Mac Pro that adds wheels to the machine after purchase. The kit is priced at $699.


For anyone interested in what it's like to get their hands on the wheels kit, popular YouTuber Unbox Therapy has posted a dramatically staged, tongue-in-cheek unboxing video.

It's an admittedly lengthy watch at 7 minutes and 45 seconds, but its irreverent take on unboxing may appeal to viewers who would balk at the prospect of splashing that much cash on a set of computer wheels.

When adding wheels to the ‌‌Mac Pro‌‌ when making an initial purchase, Apple charges $400, but the standalone kit to be used after purchase is $300 more because the pre-purchase price includes the price of removing the $300 feet.

‌Mac Pro‌‌ users who want to purchase the wheels add-on kit can do so from Apple's online store.

Twitter Tests New Threaded Conversation Layout on iOS and Web

https://ift.tt/2ESx084

Twitter has announced it is testing a new way of displaying threaded conversations for some iOS and web users that aims to make it easier to see who is responsing to whom.

As it stands, the way lengthy Twitter conversations display can sometimes make it difficult to know who you're replying to and how the conversation is evolving, especially if the original poster is also responding to replies.

Twitter hopes its new Reddit-like interface will go some way to solving the issue. The official Twitter support account provided an example of the test interface, which includes branching lines and indentations that also make it possible to fit more of the conversation in one view.


As noted by TechCrunch, the company is also putting engagement actions such as Like, Retweet and Reply icons behind an extra tap to make replies to conversations easier to follow.

Twitter has been testing the features for over a year in its "twttr" prototype app, which it uses to try out new functions with a small subset of users.

The idea of branching conversations in a Twitter thread was publicly discussed by the company at CES 2020, so there's a good chance it will stick around if users are on board with the change.
