its good to have the 150mb limit because it slightly disincentivizes devs to put too many sensor tower/analytics packages in with their binary

qirex posted:honestly ios7 to me looks like they ran out of time, so many rough edges that pure unrestrained wankery would have fixed they definitely ran out of time. that was the first 64 bit release, which was a huge amount of effort for everyone. and so naturally jony decides that all the UIs need to change at the same time, too. a lot of the new UI plans required way too much power (frosted glass effect is computationally intensive) and had to be walked back for performance reasons.

on the one hand, everybody knows that pr photos with trump look bad now and are only going to look worse in a few years on the other hand, trump’s entire tariff system is designed solely to make corporations come bend the knee or else get turbo-hosed

It’s all Sketch now, and its complete lack of bitmap editing. word qirex posted:apple has never wanted to support the use case of multiple people using a remote library or even one person using a library stored on a network, to the point that they built itunes match from scratch to avoid doing it iTunes Home Sharing has been a thing forever. It’s been in iTunes for as long as I can remember and in everything since. I used to use it all the time when I wasn’t a lonely hobo. cinci zoo sniper posted:150mb store restriction is the dumbest loving thing ever. i have unlimited data plan on my 4g connection, let me use it When the developer puts their app on the store, it will warn them if it’s too large to download on cellular. They can then use on-demand resources to make it much smaller. But seeing as iMovie is 700MB, and they want iPad Pros to be the new personal computer, yeah it should be higher. rjmccall posted:on the one hand, everybody knows that pr photos with trump look bad now and are only going to look worse in a few years Tim Cook is a Republican through and through.

Hi Apple thread. Are Apple products still terrible but better than the alternatives in all relevant categories (phone, tablet, laptop, TV-top)? If not, please provide best-of-breed alternative and justification for this.

what do people actually use apple tv or chromecast for? is it things like going to youtube/netflix/hulu/etc, or connecting to a local DLNA server, or connecting to some other local resource (e.g. casting from a chrome browser instance or an iphone) or something else

if you have the others you may as well get a laptop, it is a nicely integrated experience (or if you have interest in any sort of Apple development, unless you got an iMac or want to go through a bunch of hoops (hackintosh, VMs, etc)). it’s still the best desktop *nix. they’re not perfect but still good, just, don’t care too much

I guess we could stream to it from the NAS but I've never bothered getting that working.

if you want to hear a song and you're not at home just look it up on apple music or spotify and stream it. no need to overcomplicate things.
