is Apple Music worth anything? Spotify seems like it's still the more usable music app.

if I listened to music that wasn't 20 year old mixtapes and had wifi at work I'd probably pay for it

it seems like a bunch of curators just fell off the face of the earth tho, i want to be able to follow some unemployed music snob who has the time to make a dozen playlists a day. also apple reuses way too many loving songs on their playlists. loving harlem shake is on like six playlists i have rn

you can justify it's poor positioning all you want as some kind of planned feature but we know it's just a "wgaf" move by apple

I don't know what you mean.

there's no space anywhere else for it without reducing touch surface space and it charges 9 hours in like 5 mins?

i guess plugging things in very awkwardly to get a pittance of usable time is now a regular thing with apple

here's a nutty thought: design them properly so you don't have to constantly plug them in, or at the very least make them convenient to plug in

PleasureKevin
Jan 2, 2011

once a month you have to plug a thing in over night

that's what your gripe is

I do this every day with my iPhone

and with my current Apple keyboard have to remove and then recharge the batteries in a separate device so in no way is this not and improvement

it warns you when the battery is low so just plug it in that night and you're good

maybe they didn't want people using it while plugged in since it's bad form e battery if they do that constantly

the g700s? it's a single AA and runs a laser and talks to the dongle 1000 times a second or something so yeah

i mean at least it's an eneloop

it's only a matter of time

stick a cellphone-tier charging circuit and half of a cellphone battery in any other mouse design and you'll get the same result as the magic mouse 2, it just wouldn't help the g700s very much because of what it is

the mighty mouse was okay except for its 2 foot cord and the ball dying after 6 months. the rounded adb mice were fine for what they were.

just the fact that you can't shuffle all songs without playing a song first is p. bad imo

also why the gently caress can i still not shuffle by album? come the HECK on, apple

You're already dead

Even this dumb looking Razer mouse had the right idea http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-mice/razer-orochi

Wireless mouse with charging port on the front where a cord would normally be, and when you plug it in not only does it charge the mouse but it also switches the mouse to being driven over USB instead of Bluetooth and increases the polling from 125hz to 1000hz
