I remember the doodle feature being primarily used to send "rocket ships" to each other. very fun when in a meeting.

‘Digital touch’ seemed like it was a transparent attempt to get kids and teens to buy into it. A bit like bbm before it, you only required a critical mass of a few people at a school sharing secret messages and doodles before everybody else wants in on the action. There is no way in hell any serious adult thought that it was an actually viable method of communication.

the fact that it needs a charge every night is the absolute worst thing about the watch and everything else pales in comparison

Last Chance posted:do you take it off at night? No, not unless there's a specific reason to. And just by the way the argument "you can just take it off and charge it every night and get in the habit of doing that" is a poo poo argument akin to "well you can just reinstall Windows every couple of months to stop your computer from slowing to a crawl, that's just how you use it" Sagebrush fucked around with this message at 01:07 on Jul 20, 2018 |

What if I want to check the time and I'm in bed? Obviously I can't have my phone on my bedside table because of the radiation waves so it's either a watch or an alarm clock

obviously i take my watch off in the shower, to do the dishes, to change my motorcycles' oil, etc. it's like you guys have never owned a watch or something. amazingly, at none of these junctures do i have to put it on a specific little stand or risk having it nonfunctional the next day.

they're also real bad at being watches, on account of the whole needing to charge every day, and also the watch face isn't visible most of the time

looks like i9 mbp is perfectly fine for cpu-only workloads, e.g. a potential upgrade for coders etc, especially if you manually change the fan profile from “Jonny Ives aluminium vacuum cube” to “fans spin when computer hit”
