tbf i downloaded an app that let me have natural scrolling on the touchpad but regular scrolling on a mouse wheel, since it's extremely unnatural to do the mouse that way, and as far as i can tell, macos doesn't let you have separate settings which is dumb

the difference between normal scrolling and "natural" scrolling is the difference between feeling like you are moving the viewport around and moving the Content around. the latter obviously makes much more sense on a touchscreen and arguably on a mac if you are the sort of "Creative" that apple wants buying their macs and you are primarily just scrolling around your facebook feed. of course this breaks down when you consider that the primary purpose of a trackpad (moving the mouse pointer) is fundamentally a part of the viewport and not of the Content but i guess our old man brains are not plastic enough to effortlessly handle this dichotomy

they want to but intel still doesn't have a chip that supports lpddr4, they could use regular ddr4 but that would reduce their best in the industry 30 days standby to one week and more people would complain about that then the lack of 32GB of ram

also the loving iphone 6s has lpddr4 so intel is really slacking here

intel didn't implement support for lpddr4 or more than 16GB of lpddr3 because those are smartphone/tablet memory formats intended for SoC integration and nobody but apple builds their "performance" laptops like a smartphone. why waste the die space and engineering time on redesigning the i5 and i7 memory controller to support an esoteric ram type that some tiny sliver of less than 10% of a subsection of your entire market will ever consider using?

intel also has had lpddr4 supporting SoC x86 systems since September of last year.

the mouse pointer isn't content or viewport, its a proxy for your finger, the thing humans instinctively use for pointing at things. the relationship between how the touchpad moves the cursor and the content is entirely consistent with this. slide your finger upwards irl while it's pressed against a piece of paper and the contents of the paper scroll downward.

Also "down" on a scroll-wheel still scrolls down - why make "down" on the touchpad scroll up?

natural scrolling rules.

ye olde scrolling was from the days before mouse wheels. if you put your mouse on the screen, and you slide the mouse up, the cursor goes up with it, following the mouse motion. if you slide the mouse down the cursor goes down. but if you scroll the wheel up, the content moves down, opposite of the direction of your finger. natural scrolling fixes this and makes the motion on the screen analogous to the muscle motion, just like it is for the pointer.

You see, but you do not observe.

does iTunes not sell TV shows? I would like to buy some seasons and I can’t find where to search, it mostly shows movies.

the Apple TV 4K music/iTunes/Apple Music interface is kind of a mess, I don’t know where to find most content. For instance some concerts are available to buy on iTunes but purely by chance I saw them for free on Apple Music

wrong. a scroll wheel is not like moving a mouse or touching a pane of glass. it is a literal wheel, one of the oldest human inventions and one we are all intimately familiar with. much like moving the mouse pointer around is as if you were moving the mouse itself over the viewport beneath it, imagine scrolling a wheel that is in contact with the viewport beneath it. as you scroll the wheel upwards the wheel pushes the viewport beneath it downwards, making your relative motion be to scroll up the document. owned.

seriously.

old school scrolling = you're scrolling in the direction of the arrows on a vertical scrollbar ui element

natural scrolling = you're pushing around the content as if you're touching it. if you're using a touch device like god's own magic mouse and using inertia, this makes more sense and feels great. content moves in the same direction as your finger: naturally.

pretty simple

basically people who like "natural" scrolling are like the babies who paw at magazine pages trying to get them to scroll because they don't know any better

yes, the move to natural scrolling is actually a direct result of touch screens and other touch devices becoming very popular. i don't think it would have made as much sense in a world where good capacitive touch screens didn't exist.

Someone argued me for 12 hours after I told them to update their iPhone when they had the autoreplace bug. This includes getting angry enough for them to wake up at 4am and write a rambling wall of text comparing me to Matthew Bevin or something.

I saw another guy as late as last night still postin with that dumb bug. How can you be so unaware.
