lol when a ndroid phone making hdr "photos" finally look decent enough (better?) when compared to single frame captures from a timbphone is proof of android superiority. apple will go the same way though next year. the fake as gently caress bokeh effect on apple fonepad is just the beginning.

There's no way to reliably unlock my drat iphone anymore. I used to swipe and type in my passcode. Worked every time.

Now I hit the home button an pray that it actually unlocks. Might have to jab at it several times. Might have to enter my passcode after a delay. Sometimes it unlocks while I'm typing in my passcode before I finish. Sometimes it just unlocks. Hate it.

i have this problem too on my iphone seven maybe your iphone is defective like mine

they "partnered"* with lg for 5k usb-c thunderbolt displays


*offered to sell an existing product to cover the gaping hole in their linup

its really bad because the new one is fully black like every other shitheap monitor out there. if they'd made it look nice like the  cinema display (i.e. silver colored metal) then that would be cool

i care about this becaues now our office will be tainted by a couple of lame black monitors amongst the sea of beautifule apple monitors

you can spec out your own computer how you like, but stop telling other people their computer has too much ram or storage or whatever.

what i'm saying is that when you happily pay the premiums on everything a popular manufacturer sells, other manufacturers look at that and start selling everything at premium too. that's the entire concern, not whether if you need x or y in your computer. for example, storage space - i dont care how much of it you need/want/have in your laptop; what i do care about is your wallet showing the industry that a 300% markup on storage space is acceptable

you could argue that just about every possible thing is already there on the keyboard. the iMessage emoji setup is just replacing command+control+space, etc. if the touchybar isn't there to make frequently used operations more convenient then what the gently caress is the point?
