Same. I hate all these messaging apps people use. Unless you need security, then just use the one your phone already has. Otherwise use signal.
Man I’m so good at sleeping though. I get at least 5 hours a night, so that’s 40 a week! Woohoo!
/s
Because it’s one of the most popular multi-tools on the planet? The only one more popular is Victorinox
No he didn’t. They literally sold it as “choosy developers choose gif”. It was part of the marketing to software devs. He didn’t feel the need to say anything on fucking stage until normies started using it and couldn’t understand context.
I mean that’s literally how it works. You pronounced the peanut butter with a soft J. You probably pronounce Lyft as Lift and JoS A Bank as Joseph A Bank. What a company chooses to name its product (gif was a product trying to be sold to software devs) they can choose however they want it to be pronounced. If you stop thinking of gif as a normal word and more as a product that was and continues to be sold then it makes a lot more sense why they literally gave it a catchphrase; “choosy developers choose gif”
lol daisy chaining your 3 5k monitors with your cell phone!
weird that the pixel doesn't allow display out. wonder if it caused massive battery problems or screen overheating or something. that's usually why they outright disable features like that.
Apple will definitely not sell a single type c cable that isn't capable of at least 30W PD, so they can charge a shit ton for them, even if the product will never use 30W charging. Actually not sure about that. I should go check my beats cable to see what PD it's capable of.
What's up with the Pixel's Type C impl?
I used DDG for like 2 years. Almost every single search I had to search in both DDG and then in Google since the results from DDG were terrible. I recently switched to Kagi and have only had to try to find something in Google twice, and neither time Google was able to find what I needed either. You're not just paying for no ads, you're paying for actual search engine results, whereas the other companies, you are the product.
The only things I've cared about using Kagi are the ability to completely block domains, lenses, bangs, and actual search results that get me what I need. The rest is just a bonus.
lol yeah my camera bag is over $300. A good camera hiking bag is most definitely worth the money.
I did the trial for kagi and completely stopped using Google within 3 days. Kagi is so much better it’s easily worth it. And it has actually useful features unlike Google. It’s insane how long google sat on their haunches and waited to let others surpass them.
USB C is a mess, sure. But if your solution to that is to try and justify sticking with an old, proprietary standard that supports only a fraction of the features of the competitor, then I guess it’s your money to burn.
I most definitely am not doing that. Lightning was good for the time, and the benefits of USB C now are overwhelming (compared to a few years ago). What I am talking about is the blatant whitewashing of the past. USB C didn't exist, and the lightning cable was amazing for what it replaced. Absolutely astounding honestly. And the connector still is. But time moves on. But lots of people love to hate on Apple and just completely ignore history.
Yeah I hate the shape as well. The first apple earbuds (up until the most recent ones) are trash. I had to start wearing ear plugs to bed the past few years though so I've gotten way more used to stuff being in my ears. Still, earbuds suck.
I mean... I have several android tablets and have the exact same issue on those as well. Not sure how Android solves anything here. Except that you also get the hardware button that sometimes does absolutely nothing, or it goes back to a different location than the back button on screen.
It's literally impossible for USB C to have been
standard on THEIR OWN DEVICES since 2012.
It wasn't even announced until 2012, much less have any sort of spec. The spec wasn't even finalized by the USB Implementers Forum until 2014 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB-C
Apple would not have changed to an objectively better port if it weren’t for the EU regulations.
... they already switched on all their other devices. Why would they have not switched eventually?
Also, lightning better than USB-C? A USB 2.0 port that transfers at 1/100th the speed? You’re insane.
Yes. I don't give one shit about transfer speed, just like the majority of phone users (not just iPhone users - all phone users). You sync using the cloud. If you're using a cable to sync you are in the minority
alternative streaming service started by youtubers. super high quality content. costs like 15 bucks a year.
Ground news.
What is wrong about going up a folder?
I am not who you were talking to, but:
Window edge snapping is incredibly frustrating. Linux desktops and Microsoft Windows have had proper window snapping support for decades.
Completely agree, if you want a good solution though, don’t use any of those window managers that people always list for Mac like magnet, rectangle, whatever other junk is being sold. Use hammerspoon. Not only will you get better window management than even Linux (yes, I’m still yet to find a solution like it for Linux), you’ll also get tons of other things like easy jumping to apps, automation capabilities that would be very hard to do in Automator, etc. It’s definitely the best app on Mac by far. Oh and it’s open source and free.
The app uninstall process is inconsistent, with some apps remaining contained in the .app folder while others spill out all over the system
Isn’t this the fault of the app though? Apps that need to do stuff outside of the bounds of a regular app install shit elsewhere. I do hate that though. Not really sure it’s better on Linux though. If you install using apt or yum or whatever then sure, but plenty of other apps don’t install that way and they can leave junk all over the place too.
The recovery mode process for resetting an Intel-based Mac is incredibly tedious and time consuming
A lot of stuff on the Intel macs are terrible lol.
WatchOS has an inconsistent and difficult to navigate UI. The bubble menu is inconsistent and difficult to navigate, and the list view requires that you sort by alphabetical when a “recently used” sort would be significantly more efficient.
Agreed, but you can also just see recent apps by double tapping the button on the side. You don’t need to go to the app list at all.
IOS doesn’t allow sideloading apps.
Very annoying
TVOS is filled with ads for Apple’s premium services like AppleTV+
The only place I’ve ever seen ads on TVos is literally on the Apple TV app. Where else are you seeing them?
IOS home screen icons cannot have blank space and must instead tile to the top of the screen.
This is so incredibly annoying for multiple reasons. Any time you try to move icons or folders around it makes it impossible because everything on screen reflows as you’re trying to organize. It’s fucking insane.
Methods for going back to what was previously onscreen are inconsistent in IOS.
This is the second time in a week I’ve seen someone say this. I don’t know what everyone is talking about. Can you explain more?
IOS browsers are required to use mobile Safari’s web engine
This is also super annoying.
That’s funny because I think the AirPods are quite terrible, but what is great about them is how they just work. I have beats because I wanted them for working out, but they never have issues connecting or switching between devices. But they don’t sound great and you can most definitely get higher quality audio from other brands. But you can’t beat how easy it is to use them.
But why? Why not just text people? What does WhatsApp give you that’s worth handing over literally every private conversation to Facebook?
