Apple maps tends to not give enough warning on turns for me. on ms jones’s phone, the voice nav will sometimes just stop talking for mysterious reasons

car play is real good tho

i just pulled up apples online store, and my exact laptop (which is a late 2013 model) except with a 7th gen processor is like $1500. same amount of ram, same ssd.

what the gently caress apple? how is 8 gigs of ram remotely acceptable for a “pro” computer in 2018? like i really enjoy using osx but if they don’t get some non-trash computers by the time this one dies im gonna end up with a linux laptop and that’s a fate worse than death

no i get that, it’s the part where someone thinks that’s what the writer was actually trying to convey. “oh he just meant black/blue, there’s clearly not something else going on here” is pretty dumb

i've been trying to use safari lately

i was at bugmenot.com, getting a login for netgear.com

safari repeatedly autocorrected netgear to nether

there exists a product manager somewhere that thought this was a reasonable thing, and then some developers implemented and released it.

that's the nz gov's fault to have terrible consumer product policy that require all the electronic products to all basically have extended warranty, which result in padded pricing for all the stuff that's sold in the country

so people who are careful with their electronics items like iphone will have pay extra to cover other people's devices even though they will never see those money anyway

lol i never thought id see somebody getting all stupid and fygm about consumer protection but here we are

oh my god apple hid switching from front to back cameras during facetime behind an extra tap and a modal that blocks the entire screen and is buggy as poo poo to dismiss

several people looked at this and said “this is a reasonable user experience, let’s do this”

just adding an already existing picture to an imessage takes an extra tap now

how's that? it's the same for me at 2

old way:
click camera, it goes to photo-timeline-with-live-camera-as-option, click the photo

new way:
click photo app button thingy, click photo

like if i'm being honest, new way is actually "click camera, say 'gently caress', go back, ..." but i assume i'll eventually adapt

i guess if you really want to take a picture and send it but not save it to photos, it saves a click, but gently caress that (maybe this is send-nudes-mode, but that's not exactly my use case). the change is dumb, but it seems dumb to me because it's a change for no reason, not because it makes thing strictly worse like the facetime change does. im on an old 6 though, the flow on more recent devices might be different :shrug:

because gently caress you, that’s why

i searched for “dog friendly restaurant” in apple maps the other day and it came back with a restaurant called Friendly in South Korea

it took me a minute to figure out how the third word got in there

just to be very clear, I am not making a joke, apple maps is actually that bad. I just did the search again (from home) just now and it returned the results you’d expect though 🤷‍♀️

existentialism - sartres in particular - talks about how the conceptual joints of the world are projected by human consciousness. what is projected is “nothingness”, the lack of something. lack as in its x and _not y instead_. the nothingness in the joke is reified, such that no-cream is distinct from no-milk. someone (especially Sartre who was a garbage-person) caring about the distinction is the funny(ish) bit.

it kind of dovetails with the Pierre (not) in the cafe example from being and nothingness

if your phone is "Bricked' by the definition which I'm familiar, you have bigger problems than posting without wifi...

unless “bricked” means “doesn’t work in some capacity” now. which wouldn’t really surprise me tbh, terms like that seem to have a pretty short shelf-life
