I like how DNS resolution is a giant loving mess in OSX/iOS and it was so bad in yosemite they tried to switch to something different, made it worse, and then switched back.

Apple has solved the problem of smartwatch battery life with its latest software update iOS 9.3 and WatchOS 2.2.

Users will now be able to pair more than one Apple Watch to an iPhone and automatically switch between them, which means the faithful can now replace a watch that has run out of battery by hot-swapping to a fresh one.

And, why would you gently caress with DNS resolution in the first place? Unless Apple put some sort of DNS caching mechanism in OSX?

It uses mDNSReponder, and they tried to use discoveryd during earlier releases of yosemite but they had to put mDNSResponder back it because discoveryd hosed up too many networks

its fine i guess but sometimes it does some dumb poo poo when paired with bonjour and it tries to assume that you don't have a router with DNS Forwarding and DHCP that actually handles everything

and allegedly that finally got to fixed because of vint cerf telling timb that his poo poo was broken

dehumanized yourself and face to the metrics in timb's apple

automated crash reports are low, customer sat is high, so the software must be fine regardless of how broken dns is

what if you can easily afford a new mac but your old one is so needs suiting it would be bad for the environment to replace it unnecessarily

If Apple is a new breed of industry titan, one that is being defined today, entering the car market will signal the beginning.

I foresee future history books recanting how Apple engulfed the planet by delivering inescapable products to humans of the 21st century. For example, creating self-driving cars that allow a segment of the population to gain X amount of hours of their day back or devote to working. This segment of the population will increasingly separate itself from the middle (?) or lower classes, as it has the extra bandwidth to deliver more working hours or more free time (and rest) thus allowing for better work productivity. At this time, Apple will have gathered enough information and market dominance that will create affordable driver-less machine solutions, allowing the rest of the social classes to participate. In return, the lower classes will need to agree to certain terms and conditions that will require monetary devotion to Apple.

During this time Apple will have facilitated creation of a new style of housing for the modern (non-upper class) human across the globe. Its main achievement will be the ability to work and live within one structure. Humans who choose to live in Apple's structure will have all fundamentals needed for existence provided for - thus creating the dream that working hard enough would allow for external living, eventually.

In a short time, humans living in these structures would out number outside humans 10,000 to 1.

At the same time, Apple's main competitor Ubeair (AirBnB merged with Uber) also created similar life structures. Ubeair's growth hampered by Apple created modified machines with the sole purpose of destruction. Thus began a new era on earth, where humans were made obsolete due to the their inability to combat effectively against machines.

The industry titans of this era stopped supplying humans with dwellings and food and focused their efforts on delivering the strongest year over year growth on earth. The industrial growth wars eventually progressed onto the neighboring planets, the next frontier for exponential growth. The remaining humans were left to take care of themselves with the remaining resources, insufficient organic matter and a lack of knowledge prohibited human population growth. Today, humans societies are small groups of humans roaming the earth for scraps and potential dwellings.
