imacs make no sense to me. there is no reason to compromise on hardware capabilities, gently caress up the repairability, and reduce the cooling capability/introduce throttling/make it noisier because the fans have to go full blast more often, just so you can have it all in a tight little package.

the change from magnetically attaching the screen to gluing it the gently caress on is also such a gently caress you to anyone who needs to work on them.

it turns out that if all billion iOS devices decide to update at once then the internet breaks, particularly on major releases. your device will discover that updates are available usually in about a week if you don’t manually check for it.

I really wish there was an option for downloading and updating automatically without user intervention. I would set all of my parents devices to do this.

looking forward to this silently becoming the default in a future version

so this seems as good a place to ask as any: I used to take my worn out or broken apple cables, power adapters etc to the Apple store and they’d just swap them no questions asked even if they were kinda old. is Apple still like that? the controls on my EarPods have stopped working.

the problem is not particularly browsers or being electron-based. the problem is that the engineering teams aren't incentivized to make the performance good enough.

3.5mm jacks are needlessly large/long and consumed a important spot where a larger second speaker could go and they already had a different port that could pull double-duty of course they killed it

on the other hand my 3.5mm headphones will work with loving anything else I own

what’s needlessly large/long is either the dongle or the extra set of 3.5mm headphones you inevitably have to carry around

now do one about device manufacturers getting rid of vga ports

ok? there’s an actual path forward for the industry from vga (dvi, hdmi, DisplayPort, usb-c). if you need a dongle it’s also much less cumbersome in a laptop/presentation environment than with a phone that lives in your pocket.

there might be a path forward from 3.5mm—but it’s not gonna be loving lightning. lightning headphones won’t even work with a Mac, let alone any device by any other company. after releasing iPhone 7 Apple continued to come up with 3.5mm ports on new Mac designs so clearly they have no loving idea what they want to do about headphones.

Apple wants you to own a phone and a tablet and a smartwatch and air pods and a laptop so your life will be full of stupid bullshit you need to charge every night. gently caress that.

luv 2 watch a gaggle of nerd men haplessly befuddled about why :females: prefer a phone they lets you see people better on face time and interact on social media easier.

it's almost like most of our time on a phone is not spent hunched alone in a corner of the cafeteria typing long epic posts but is instead spent talking to ppl
