tfw Xcode's Accessibility Inspector tells you UI Element names that are completely wrong for AppleScript

AXSplitGroup, role name: split group, applescript name: splitter group
AXRowCell, role name: cell, applescript name: UI Element because gently caress you

It wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't so sparsely documented, but holy gently caress when you have to write AppleScript to spit out the correct element names for every child object in the AppleScript DOM as they apply for _that specific app_ :ughh:

tbf, the galaxy nexus screen was notoriously bad. amoled's come a long way since then, and in terms of performance, it's better than lcd in every respect and allows for things lcd doesn't

you can turn on parts of it separate from the entire screen which is definitely something that isn't a complete loving stupid gimmick and is actually a useful feature for neurotypicals

also black pixels are off entirely

You're wrong here, oversaturated reproduction is not accurate reproduction.

yeah outside of oversaturation oled/amoled screens are much more pleasing to look at.

they'd think they look like apple displays, which are generally ok for what they are

amoled is a cool and nearly mature enough technology. a non garbage company that gave a poo poo could probably make v nice (non pentile (lol), calibrated) amoled displays

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.
Amoled displays are perfectly fine as long as you don't go outside and use it in sunlight (has never occurred for a typical anorid user ) so it's unknown what effects it would have on nt iphone users

nah they're brighter now and supposed to be fine in the sun

and you're supposed to buy a new one or trade it in at the apple store before burn-in is much of an issue

is sony's oled tech their own spin on it? the original vita had an oled screen and burn in wasn't that much of a problem.

iPhone screens are kind of a pain in the rear end to see in bright sunlight especially if you have sunglasses on

I've found toggling night shift to be super useful for that situation, but my eyes are all kinds of hosed anyway and having even minimal warm color shifting tends to help a lot for me.

the vita unless it's set for full power mode clamps the output, it's a sad screen but not many used it

white uses more than black, yes, for fairly obvious reasons, and i'm fairly certain subpixels even use different amounts of power at a given luminosity. they also wear at different rates*, hence some really weird custom roms that make the entire screen red to preserve the blue and green subpixels, as well as use less power. i don't know if the actual in-use difference would really show up at the end of a day, though.

*current tech is rated at something like 25k-40k hours to half the luminosity. virtually no phone will ever get that much use in its lifetime, though a display model left on 24/7 will show noticeable effects pretty quickly as a result. i'd be concerned about the long-term effects on a tv, though.
