Prove its a problem. Do it. Find some facts or evidence beyond "person said thing is hot".

Of course Apple phones and laptops are increasingly becoming seamless orbs in the pursuit of thin-n-light, and the iMac Pro is kind of a special case since it's using an existing enclosure and no one really expects to be upgrading all-in ones, but if the 2018 Mac Pro is significantly user-upgradeable is the real bellwether for if Apple's plan is just to squeeze every last drop of blood from every stone forever

ITT, an employee of a company that made somewhere around $10 billion in profit over the last few months tells their customers that they are babies for not wanting to pay for an overpriced battery replacement so that their already overpriced phone runs properly.

Less than $1079.

Yes, as long as you paid $1078 or less for you iPhone it wasn't overpriced. You got me.

apparently I’m the official Mac fag at work, because I use an Apple laptop and phone and watch

I hate Apple fans though

like seriously the only reason I use Apple is because everything else loving sucks dick, I’ve been computer janitoring since MSDOS 3.1 and switching to macs in 2012 or so was a revelation

so it’s pretty ironic I’m now the Apple fan here for some reason

I think they expect me to slash my wrists whenever Apple fucks up in security or whatever, they’re always telling me about the news with smug faces and like “are you gonna cry because the batteries are bad?”

is there any technical reason why airplay 2 is delayed, or is it just mismanagement of resources?

paper books don’t display the page number in a little box covering part of the text, whose background constantly changes color as you scroll to make sure your eye is drawn to it


not in safari they don’t. it works in iBooks I guess which is great if you like losing your zoom setting every time you change page

I dunno, the previous youtube appletv app was pretty terrible, the new one seems like an improvement over it so far.

What was so great about the previous one then? I remember it being pretty frustrating and clumsy, I mostly watch youtube on my iPad in the kitchen and even that app is terrible.
The framerate in the menus is kinda janky but it is much easier to actually browse your subscriptions in this one.
The new playback controls are perfectly fine and disappear after a couple of seconds, or you can force them to go away with the back button right away.

The only thing I can find that feels worse than before is seeking to a specific time in a video since you can only skip forward or backwards in 10 second intervals.

maybe apple should save some money and buy it off the shelf instead

The Management posted:

iTunes was the last Mac first party application to go 64-bit (not counting the Xcode iOS simulator which had a legitimate need for it). for a while it was the only 32 bit app shipping with macOS. this was because they were depending on some carbon code in there and it just could not be fixed. when carbon was killed, they had to find a solution. obviously that solution was to statically link in their own carbon mini library to keep that code running.

I think they eventually managed to kill it since it is 64 bit these days but lol, those guys are terrible at software engineering.

why are you under the impression that xcode has anything to do with itunes

is it because they use some of the same art
