OG SE might be on its last legs, but I can't say I'm excited to buy anything with FaceID since the only time I would want to use it would be out in public with a mask on. Maybe in a year the next one will have usb c and touch id on the power button like the ipad mini?

well you're in luck because faceid doesn't work with a mask on. the workaround is to buy an apple watch and your phone+watch will use wifi time-of-flight calculations to determine if, when your phone vaguely sees a face in the front camera, if it's within a few feet of your watch and unlock.

made a jbod for my iTunes library and I can't believe I didn't think of it before.

now i gotta restore the backup from an external HDD and by god I'd forgotten how slow spinning rust can be. also it keeps loving disconnecting, but that's why I use rsync baby

the workaround is almost seamless though when you do have the apple watch. it’s just funny because they couldn’t have anticipated half the users wearing masks all the time.

I’m convinced the notch bar will be black 99% of the time and will only be used as a camera on indicator and maybe explicit opt in for full screen apps.

There is no way that full screen Remote Desktop is going to have a notch cutout.

i think notch will be cool and fine as long as they put the menu bar up there and figure out a way to cleanly work around the problem where there are enough menu items or system icons to run into it.

if I move my mouse along the top from left to right does my cursor: stop at at the notch,
go behind the notch and obscure my cursor,
trace around the notch or teleport to the side of the notch

it should stop at the notch with haptic feedback in the touchpad whenever you bump into it

eh, i expect the notch will be fine, reducing the bezels on the macbooks was years overdue at any rate, and it is key that they squeeze out the last few millimeters so apple fans can now switch to being aghast that anyone can live and work with stuff like the xps13.

(i mean, i am aghast at that too as a not very happy xps13 owner, but the format/bezels are excellent)

this is already a problem with the current screens. my fingers are so fat, and my sweat so awful and acidic it eats through whatever thin layer they put on these things.

i think the notches will be cool and good and unlike the phones so small relative to the area of the screen that it’s barely going to be a thing

and you’ll basically never see it during videos since the screens are 16:10

bezels are good, they help you focus by separating screen content from the environment. bezel-less screens are already dumb but a loving notch on a laptop screen is dumb
