i'm still trying to figure out how the lifecycle management thing is a "thing"

like, the preferred system would be for your phone to start shutting off at 30% charge after two years, like an android?

Does iOS warn you about battery condition at all?

BangersInMyKnickers posted:

Yeah, they give you a polite thing telling you the battery endurance is low and you should consider servicing it.

If that's the case i dunno if it's really deceptive. The answer is to just give the user more info sooner.

shaggar knows dick-all about industrial design. to make the battery user replaceable the phone has to be bigger or the battery smaller

if you're used to some brick-looking piece of poo poo like the lumia 940 this probably sounds like a reasonable option

The phones are too loving thin anyway who cares

windows 10 is Real Good and shaggar was right that people doing Actual Work do it from windows.

come and watch some of my students try to use SolidWorks on a macbook, with no physical escape key or forward-delete key, through parallels, with the trackpad that doesn't middle-click and which scrolls in a hosed up manner, and see how long you last

As someone who deals with Engineering software in education we've basically made it a point to tell the parents of incoming students to not buy macs.

buncha my students have the new macbook keyboard and whenever i'm showing them some code or w/e it's all can do to stop myself from commenting on how bad it is

We've had some long-time Mac ecosystem people either buying old Macbooks or just buying latitudes/precisions and getting used to Windows because the new Macbooks have gone over so poorly.

I had to go save one of my student workers a while back from a prof who had ordered one of the new macbooks and somehow managed to miss the part where he was going to have to throw basically all his old poo poo away and enter the dongleverse.

where I come from this is called "walking" but i guess in cupertino nobody walks further than the distance to their car unless they're "working out"

It thinks youre 'working out' because your vitals indicate the walk to your car has put you on the verge of death

your first mistake was using macs in a business environment. the only business case for using a mac is writing ios software

or running an art gallery or boutique where your POS just has to match the minimalist brushed aluminum aesthetic

No one here who works in any of the engineering colleges can run any of the software they need in MacOS*. If anyone has a macbook you know they either do nothing of real value or they just like blowing grant money on an SSH terminal

Which hey, if you have the extra grant money and it's use it or lose it why not I guess

*this is not an endorsement of the quality of engineering-related software- all of which is bad

If I was a desktop user I'd be terrified of what the iphone engineers would do to the iMac. I really dunno what else you can do to the iMac design at this point outside of actually just making it a bit bigger so it can have proper cooling, adding more i/o, or upgrading the screen.

The XPS is pretty good but really the newer Precisions are good too. Dell's enterprise class stuff is perfectly fine for 99% of people and has been for a long time.

yeah, it's complete nonsense because even dell's baseline xeon* workstation with the fisherprice options start at like $2500.

Baseline Precision desktops start at around $1000ish with "why not just buy an optiplex" hardware

But we're contracted so our pricing structure is different

from what i observe with my students, i suspect we're entering an era where the trackpad is the "normal" way to interact with a computer and a mouse is a weird secondary peripheral only used by old people.

i tell them again and again to please just go and spend ten bucks on a three-button mouse, it will at least double your working speed and it's far more accurate than a trackpad, plus your joints will will thank you, just trust me on this one it's causing me physical pain to see you struggling with solidworks by dragging your finger around like a toddler

but there's a few in every class who say "i just like the trackpad and i've kind of gotten used to it now lol" and they'll stubbornly stick with it, even when they're literally rotating the viewport with the loving arrow keys

drag, drag, drag, pause, drag, drag, drag, pause, click "oops" drag, drag, drag "oops" drag, drag, drag

We got around this by just buying 3d mice for our cad labs and making it required to learn how to use them

parallel workloads are good on zen, yes. in particular, epyc chips are great value and could be a dece fit for new mac pro for some purposes. not everything is a parallel workload though, and not all ryzens are equal (also lol @ amd mobile offerings, be it zen or second coming of christ himself)

zen2 would work perfectly fine but I think AMD has a weird way of binning officially sanctioned workstation Ryzens despite all of them technically supporting ECC memory.

It's strange to say it but for desktop CPUs there isn't a fantastic reason to go Intel anymore.

Gpus on the other hand, yeah no Vega kinda sucks
