The last time I used a disc drive was when I went skydiving and they burned the video onto a DVD. I asked if they could just upload it to Google drive but they said that was against policy. I had to open up my computer and plug the disc drive back in because I had stolen its cables for an extra ssd They also wouldn't give me the raw video, only their edited version with a soundtrack and watermark, because they said that somehow it would be a legal liability for me to have the source file

the first time i met a guy whose job it was to keep applecare appointments for macbooks i was seated next to him at a client site and it turned out his salary was about 2x mine i found that pretty humiliating but, i didn't have to spend all day every day handing out loaners and driving to the apple store, so, tradeoffs this was still in the ppc era, too, so the client was pretty loving stupid for having an army of software developers using lovely g4 macs, in order to write java gui software for windows client PCs write once, debug everywhere

iOS Version Whatever should introduce the ability to have the user require PIN or Finger scanning to open a given app. This is not something that should be left to devs to implement app-by-app if they feel like it. Controlling access to programs and files via writing ACLs (which this is the iOS equivalent to) is a core OS function and users should be empowered to do so.  E: also FaceID should be ripped out root-and-branch and replaced with the comparatively less-poo poo TouchID on all future products.

You should get that looked at before it spreads. FaceID is a delight and it is great that my phone can validate me much more often because I don’t have to actively do anything to make it happen.

The only thing I don't like about faceID is that it could be a little more verbose about the status of scanning your face It is really nice to have the iphone unlock without having to do anything special. They should still bring back touchID as an option, just make it part of the rear camera tumor. And add another physical home button to the side of the phone because it loving sucks to have 100 different types of swipe interfering with apps and games.

As few things as possible should ever be left to developers to decide, they're uniformly terrible people with bad decision-making skills (else they wouldn't be Computer Touching as their careers). E: The proximate cause here is Microsoft's Authenticator can be made to require unlock but Google's can't. But it's also that, of the four apps in my taskbar, three can be made to lock but the only one of those four made by Apple (Messages) can't. E2: And until the issue of the 4th Amendment and biometric unlocks is determined by SCOTUS you shouldn't allow TouchID to unlock the phone (and you should never allow FaceID to be anywhere near your phone ever, although not for jurisprudential reasons, it's just loving poo poo).

It’s great that Apple locks features like autofill behind FaceID on devices that have it. Before, it would autofill automatically, and it was great. With FaceID it would check your ID automatically and then autofill. That was very great. Now it asks you for account in addition to FaceID, and also asks for TouchID on autofill if you have that. On devices without either, it doesn’t ask at all or only asks for account without validation. The automatic behavior with ID check is really great for common things. For things where I should give explicit consent (transfer money or whatever) TouchID is just as good as FaceID + confirm button. The automatic behavior should be much more common (optionally behind a switch), to confirm sending messages/mails, maybe for responding to calls, setting/removing alarms, ordering a metric ton of dildos. Texting exes after midnight should have an inverse FaceID check.

FUN FACT if you have any desktop Mac, and you have an active AppleCare plan, you can ask for an onsite repair and they'll dispatch a tech to do the repair for you. Got AppleCare+ on your phone and don't want to deal with the Genius Bar? Request an Express Service Replacement and they'll just overnight you a new device at no extra charge, and you just send the old one back when you get it. They will build you whatever wacky plans you want once you reach a certain threshold (I think like 200 units?). Want a 2-hour turnaround time? sure, knock yourself out. Buy a gold plan for like $10k/year and you get a stack of support incidents and a technical account manager who can get you answers beyond 'known issue', and will get the wireless team to fix a weird bug between iPhones and your specific model of Cisco AP. Got over 1k Apple serial numbers at your company? Cool, now you can just get direct access to the backend, and as long as your credit isn't trash they'll let you keep a seed stock of units, so when someone breaks an iPad an IT person can just give them a new one and it all gets charged to the company. This is also the point where you can order warranties without labor coverage to save money, because your internal computer janitors are the ones fixing things.

I ask a friend for her brother's email address. she sends it to me. I go to that email and long press on his address, select Copy Email. start a new email and paste the address into the To: field. it shows up as a url "mailto:thatdude@mailthingy.we" that is now a single object that can't be edited to remove the "mailto:" bit. if I try to select any part of it, it just grabs the whole thing. nicely done.

i had something similar trying to copy a link out of a note to paste into imessage i could copy the entire note, or i could open the link (which would then redirect in a dumb way because mobile, so i couldn't copy it back out of the address bar), i could not under any circumstances just copy the link. if the link is the only text in the note you just straight up can't copy it. how they managed to gently caress up copy and baste, a feature that's worked since ios 3, is beyond me
