I bought my almost-certainly-stolen 2015 13" rMBP for $600 a few weeks before the announcement of the 2016 rMBP and I will probably go to my deathbed never having made a better decision

by default on apple devices, some content (but not all content, because apple thinks you should go gently caress yourself) will rotate to always be the "correct" side up if you rotate the ipad

this happens both too easily (sometimes a little tilt will flip the screen) and takes too long (the actual screen rotation takes forever because apple wrote quartz in 2001 and goddamn it apple is going to make you appreciate their lengthy ui animations now that the "genie" dock effect is boring)

landscape mode on an iphone is an abortion of an idea, BUT it does make a lot of sense when viewing a landscape pic or video to be able to view that..

is tyhere any possible solutuion

somebody gifted me a mid 2011 iMac 21" and its extremely needs suiting for my nontechnical lifestyle but two questions:

1) is there any useful kind of twitter client that I can dock on one of my desktops? I use tweetbot for iOS but lol if i'm going to pay 10 bucks for it again

2) is there a remote control app that lets me adjust volume? aka I watch hulu on this when im in bed and it would be great to be able to control the volume without getting up

with the new API they allow apps to use? lmao no. the closest is a tweetdeck tab in its own window which is not great but has the benefit of at least being able to use most of twitter features (not all of them, why would their professional site even have feature parity with their normal site? that's silly)

since its a 2011 mac maybe it came with a front row remote and that might still work? (its probably already too recent a mac)

otherwise mojave has siri. cant you yell at it to be quieter or louder

so i wanted to give my mom my old apple watch gen 0 which i wanted to pair with my old iphone 5 which she also has

i had used this iphone with this watch a few years ago

but now they cant pair because the watch is on watchos 4 and only supports nfc pairing (because gently caress you?)

im still giving her the watch as an activity tracker but this sucks. no wonder apple stock is down 30%

in retrospect the camera bumps make perfect sense, making the devices not lie flat on a flat surface epithet way means it matters a lot less if they are also bent

i think a diamond of that size and geometry should break very easily with a tap from whatever tool the rescue personnel has handy, in fact i expect it'll be impractically fragile for everyday use

notably diamonds set in rings are liable to crack if you hit a hard surface, and those are set in a way intended to protect the stone as much as possible

De Beers, however, announced that they will offer affordable lab-grown diamonds to the public under synthetic-diamond technology company, Lightbox. “Lightbox will transform the lab-grown diamond sector by offering consumers a lab-grown product they have told us they want but aren’t getting: affordable fashion jewellery that may not be forever, but is perfect for right now,”
