you don't know that. maybe their next desktop offering will be just a plain "mac" that replaces both the mini and pro.

i tried the apple surface keyboards and they're insanely bad, the surface mini one in particular

like i get why tim wanted them since he's terrified of ms surface ads, but they were like sub-belkin quality

steve would never have even have considered them in the first place, but apparently tim just rubberstamps anything apple designers churn out

i'm not sure why timb would be terrified of surfaces, i mean win10 still does not scale all applications, or rather applications can overrule scaling and they do so more than follow it

iPads became too needs suiting with the Air 2. It's almost 2 1/2 years old and it's as fast as the first day I got it. I can see it lasting another 3 years.

when the ipad 3 came out, ios barely did multitasking and didn't do much of anything in the background. that changed quite a bit by the time the air 1 was out.

this was a fully patched ipad running iOS 9.whatever right up until december when I had to replace it. I even imported my icloud backup from the 3 on to the air 2.

without looking it up, i wouldn't be terribly surprised to find out that the features that would hurt battery weren't included in the ipad 3 build

not terrified of the surfaces themselves necessarily, just the ads

That's just a bullshit word.
so what is the current state of win10 DPI scaling. is it usable?? what apps support it and what apps don't?

like hands down my favorite thing about macs is how clean everything looks because of retina (this post brought to u from a 27" iMac)

the os ui and any apps that aren't using decade old/snowflake ui frameworks scale fine

jimmy's first LOB foxpro app that's been used sans updates since 1996 will not scale right, and you'll have tiny icons or ui elements that physically can't fit on the display

Apps can decide to opt out of display scaling by claiming they will handle it internally. The problem with this is lots of stuff claims to handle it but then doesn't (like all QT based applications) so windows trusts them to scale but then they don't so they show up tiny. For things that don't opt out windows scales them automatically.

as long as jimmys first lob FoxPro app uses win32 apis it will work fine. if jimmy used some 3rd party ui framework its gonna be a problem.

Half of my apps didn't work. I work in an academic setting.
