there's less of an urge for every driver and app to cram a new entry in, at least

i've never noticed it take literal seconds to load; a feat i've seen the windows one accomplish numerous times. so probably not?

the fact that 1st and 3rd party programs create entries for themselves willy-nilly. they're useful about 1/3rd of the time and i don't like having to janitor my menus.

does tim just make it harder to alter the context menu? or are mac app writers just less annoying?

i think the only way you can get something in there is to create a service, but those go in a sub menu and you can show or hide them in system preferences

My 6 is feeling old and boring and giving apple some money may help briefly fill the void inside of me, so do I buy a 64gb 8 or get a 128gb SE + 128gb LTE iPad 9.7"?

maybe the difference is not running an mdm solution that has battery drain issues on ios 11?

i don't really believe you have a job

i'm just pointing out that the other shared data point in that survey is their mdm software, so if they hosed it up on ios 11, you'd see the same results

the touchbar is extra annoying because it shuts off the screen. it’s bad that you have to hunt for an escape key or volume key, but having to push twice is annoying , and then the volume controls don’t disappear automatically after you use them, and and and
