Toady posted:i miss the big 17-inch macbook pros with lots of ports that were practically desktop replacements i still have one of these for my couch computing needs. i like it, but it aint a desktop replacement. the maximum ram was pitifully little. too little to do any actual work. the ram constraints make it just a really nice portable citrix client.

tk posted:Cafeteria Tray Edition the only time the width/depth of a 17" is a problem is when you are flying coach. solution: never fly coach. take a train or stump for business class. the thing apple got right with their 17 is that it is still thin and light like the 13 and 15. dell and lenovo make 17 inch laptops but they are beastly, brick-like devices.

tim will get a bigger bonus than usual during a quarter when all the moms and dads are finally pushed off their iPads 2, once they completely stop working less-bad than whatever PC would be the alternative so maybe still two years

The most recent iPads are great, but Apple really needs to put some time into stealing the Surfaces’ best feature: folding the keyboard under to use as a platform for the kickstand. It makes the whole thing really stable for resting on your lap or pretty much anywhere. The various first and third party kickstandish iPad products I’ve tried pale in comparison.

since the ipad maxi is entirely a copy of the surface they might as well go whole hog and copy everything about it, just drop the pretense and embrace the second-handedness of it all

I don’t mind the pencil stuff, it’s dumb looking when you have to plug it in, but will save you in a jiffy and it charges real fast Apple 100% did a good thing there, the alternative of charging it with an adapter or something... ugh even your iPhone can charge it, I think it owns and gives your iPhone a huge dick, which is similar to me, a very well endowed man

pen computing is awesome and i am legit happy that apple came back around, the pro line are the first really compelling ipads to me not everyone needs/likes it, but it is a pretty broad niche if you can make it integrate well

Because in Jony’s World, there are no artifacts in one’s environment that have not been placed there intentionally, deliberately, and with great consideration. His is the very embodiment of modernism, a perfect reflection of rational order, of rebellion against disharmony and indeed entropy itself. In fact, he exists more as the instantiation of a platonic ideal than anything else. In this world, a cap connector is superfluous as there is no surface angle to draw the cap away, no excess body motion to imbue the cap with angular momentum, and no environment that is not of one’s own making to otherwise obscure the cap from one’s gaze. Jony is both God and inhabitant of this world of perfect harmony and balance. Indeed it is said that His fingertips do not even secret essential oils, and that the inclusion of oleophobes on Apple touchscreens are simply a vestigial remnant of His corporeal existence. A kind of skeuomorphic echo from a distant past, if you will. Extend this logic to the larger Apple ecosystem and you’ll see why your complaints are trivial, baseless, and possibly even heretical. It is here that one will realize mewling over the MBP’s keyboard design is a concern utterly without merit, for it posits dust as something more than an abstract philosophical vehicle for exploring the concept of decay. Perhaps, deep in the hallowed grounds of the industrial design labs, He has explored its properties, but dust, as a material, simply has no value to His vision. So too it can be said of the need for dongles, which is another term that holds no inherent meaning. Remember, in a world of perfect order, there are no lesser, sullied devices to connect to. There is no concept of time, much less hurried meetings to attend. There is no concept of space, much less remote sessions to dial into. There is no environment that is not of one’s own making, so any experiential friction must be the result of one’s own choices. Jony is not a masochist and therefore cannot comprehend your lamentations. And while Jony loves you, salvation, redemption, and the imposition of rational order are ultimately your responsibility.

The Pencil should have been designed so that the Lightning connector on top doubled as a button. Press down on it and click it in like a ballpoint pen to turn it on and press again to unclick it and turn it off. Which I guess would mess it up if you ever had to plug it in.

Press down on it and click it in like a ballpoint pen to turn it on and press again to unclick it and turn it off. i think they got it right that you shouldn't have to think about turning it on and off, and while that mostly works, being a bluetooth accessory, it does occasionally flake out if you haven't used it for a while Generic Monk fucked around with this message at 19:31 on Jan 12, 2018 |
