What are you, monsters? I disable tap to click on everything I touch. The fact it's impossible to disable on a Surface Pro and turned off by default on a MBP is all anyone should need to know about good and evil.

Bulgogi Hoagie posted:seriously tho the tap to click + double click with two fingers + three finger drag makes using the trackpad incredibly fast and i now prefer it to a mouse Well my history with tap-to-click was back from when Synaptics touchpad were a dumpster fire in the 2000-2006 era. So I'm pretty soured on it. But since everyone seems to love it on the Apple, I'll give it shot.

I'll give click to tap on the MBP. It's always been a dumpster fire on Windows, though. And I never knew three finger drag even existed. EDIT: nope, still hate click to tap. Three finger drag however is awesome. Bob Morales posted:REVERSE SCROLLING Australian style scrolling. Krispy Wafer fucked around with this message at 03:20 on Mar 19, 2017 |

Drag lock for life. I use the old scrolling convention because nine times out of ten, I’m scrolling down, and my fingers find it easier to move that way.

I'll try it, but I don't understand how it could be better. I push to click and then use my other fingers to drag the thing around. Works great! I hate tap-to-click.

Three finger drag has literally been around for about 10 years. Having such a nice trackpad and then not using it to its potential is sad. Sad!

Go to Trackpad options and change the Exposé and screen switching options from "do [activity] with three finger swipe' to four fingers, then go to Accessibility > Mouse & Trackpad, click Trackpad Options, enable dragging and select with three finger drag. And then, whatever, drag things around with 3 fingers. Yay.

Heads up, LG Ultrafine 4K/5K monitors seem to suffer from the same image retention issues as my 15" rMBP (which also had a LG IPS panel) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1fMYj5HuPs https://twitter.com/jasonrbarry/status/837022972833632262

At least it's only retention and not 'burn in' like a plasma. I think most modern panels suffer from some form of retention? The rMBPs do, so does the Surface Book, so do LCD TVs (like my Vizio but also Samsung does too). It will go away, just run a screensaver that is all white for a night or two, it's not permanent.

Strong Sauce posted:tap to click is the devil. YUP The pads of my fingers are really heavy and hard due to playing bass for 25 yrs so I get false clicks all over the drat place if tap to click is on. I just click with my thumb still, works fine. Three finger drag looks like it's usable concurrent three-finger back-swipe so I'm gonna give it a try. Wonder how it'll work with Logic stuff, though.

Yeah, it's crazy to me that you all can leave tap-to-click on. I tried it for like a month and got so many false clicks I had to go back.

~Coxy posted:Remember back in the PPC days when every Mac model got updated once or even twice per year with more RAM, faster CPUs and better GPUs? Yes I remember the time when all three of those things were clearly inferior (by a very wide margin) to cheaper PC hardware and they flailed around trying to make the best of distant second-best tech from Motorola and IBM I also remember when Apple was forced to market on very narrow performance metrics (AltiVec number crunching) which made their hardware look good because outside of that, it wasn't SourKraut posted:I remember when they didn't update the PPC G4 PowerMac for what seemed like a couple of years because Motorola couldn't push the G4 past 450 MHz. I remember when Jobs keynoted the brand new PowerMac G4 and announced 400, 450, and 500 MHz as the good/better/best clock speeds, but by the time they were able to start shipping for real those numbers had to be rolled back to 350/400/450. Generally speaking the reason why Apple has become less diligent about refreshing all their Macs every year is quite simple. It's the list of killer applications that sell new computers which absolutely require this year's Intel CPU and AMD/NVidia GPU and will run poorly on chips from two years ago:

Apple did try to make the best out of a bad situation, they just did it retardedly; if anyone remembers the liquid cooled 2.7 GHz G5 that used the system built by Delphi that oozed green slime due to poor seals. IBM kept telling Apple if they wanted more than 3 GHz (to keep up with the fastest Pentiums at the time) they'd have to pony up huge money to improve the technology faster than IBM was doing it currently; Jobs balked at this and ordered the switch to Intel. IMHO we're never getting another Mac Pro, we might get iMacs on steroids, but every time Apple tries to deliver a pro workstation they always make the wrong decisions during design and there's always something basic that they gently caress up due to their own hubris, like the non-upgradeability of the GPUs on the TrashCan.

It's really really good if you have long nails. That's one thing I really like about Mac peripherals - they work no matter your nail length.
