I've got an upgrade and am going to use it, but is the Xs worth it over the regular X? maxxx or no? nah, aside from a slightly larger screen and better camera, it’s pretty much the same phone if it’s cheaper to get the x, I’d go for that

I also take a shitload of photos so the better camera appealed to me. usually keep my phones for a while, upgrading from a 6, so might as well get the latest to keep from having to upgrade sooner. it's real nice, thanks tim.

 it's amazing that a factory reset is the only way to address most ios problems remember when we used to make fun of windows users for always having to reformat and reinstall windows?

A Wheezy Steampunk posted:if you're the expert, you tell me why apple software is buggier than it was in the mid-2000s quote:I was on the team that wrote the requirements for the original version of Radar, in 1988. At that time each department was using it's own flat file database for bugs. Also at that time, there was a very large testing group. All testers at Apple were together: more than 400 testers. We had a strong culture of testing. We had pride in ourselves and our company. This was pretty much thrown away when the group was disbanded in 1989. Professional testing culture was replaced with the attitude that only developers mattered. Hurray for "Total Quality Management" and later Agile, I imagine. I was gone by '91.

Installed Mojave a few months ago, the screensaver doesn’t work anymore. Sometimes it works for a while after restarting, usually it doesn’t. Tried using activity monitor to find what is preventing sleep, but the answer, as always, is capitalism.

there are no good computers, so now that -~=MAI WAIYF=~- needs a laptop i have to buy something bad. i've made my peace with that. since we've used an imac for nearly 6 years without issue, she leans macbook. the question is now that macs are bad is applecare+ a definitely-needed thing, or do we bank on apple eventually acknowledging the catastrophic failures that would be most likely to bite us, and use our platinum card's extended warranty to cover the rest? or should i just pay ~250-280 plus another 99-300 each time is use it because we have lovely anticonsumer laws here in amerikkka and there is no guarantee that apple will acknowledge their lovely flaws? everything is dumb and bad- at least in computers
