Hey at the risk of injecting semi-serious talk in here, how much of an impact will the complete switch to 64-bit apps only in ios11 have on these? I would assume no new apps will run on it and existing ones will probably never get updates?

(I realize this iPad can’t run ios10 or 11)

also nintendo didn't include a microphone jack on the console and instead want you to use a dongle to mix voice chat and game audio

the new 2DS xl by default sucks because there's no IPS screen lottery like there is with the new 3ds xl systems

the screen on the Switch is gorgeous. I don't know what they used but it's better than most IPS screens I've ever seen. some people speculate it's the "color gamut" they used but I have no idea what that means and if that's just a software thing or actually a hardware thing

and I had to buy three Switch docks before I found one that did not bend slightly towards the screen. jfc Nintendo get your poo poo together

yeah, I like that my ipad air 2 is really light but it can actually be difficult to pick up when it's lying flat on a table. there's nothing for your fingers to get under.

my ipad pro does not have this problem, looks like the camera bump is actually good

i'm often surprised at the amount of apps that target old releases of iOS. my ipad 3 using iOS 9 had 25 updates waiting when i got back from a trip last week.

i have an iphone 4 running iOS 6 and it still receives 3 or so app updates every couple months

i wouldn't count on 32 bit devices 100% dying in support right away.

I'm using spideroak to back up some of my stuff. There was a goon referral thing years ago, where you got 7 gigs for free. Maybe the thread is still in SH/SC, haven't checked.

take it to the apple store and tell them you feel it's a fire hazard, 99% chance they'll give you a new one for free. go when there aren't a lot of people.

i mean... it's "ok", the lack of esc button is made up by the Touch ID login which is honestly nice.

i have one and it's sad that I can't enthusiastically recommend but it's a great laptop, just too expensive for what it ended up being

i think the iPad Pro is close in performance or something
