what time is it?

quote:

I know, because we measure; nor can we measure things that are not; and things past and future are not.

But how do we measure present time, since it hath not space? It is measured while it passeth; but when it shall have passed, it is not measured; for there will not be aught that can be measured.

In what space, then, do we measure passing time?

Is it in the future, whence it passeth over? But what yet we measure not, is not. Or is it in the present, by which it passeth? But no space, we do not measure. Or in the past, whither it passeth? But that which is not now, we measure not.

that might have been true in the year 32 or whenever the gently caress this was written but now the answer is: we measure passing time in switzerland



switzerland is the wealthiest country per capita in the world. it has the pointiest mountains in the alps. the most competitive economy. their army has the most crap tools on their knives. and it all rides on the back of one thing: the finest timepieces known to man

poty posted:


switzerland the day before the apple watch

but on september 9 2014 tim cook got on stage and announced:


"switzerland. is. hosed."

after nokia and finland apple has a new victim in their sights. something smells rotten in switzerland and its not their cheese.


switzerland the day after

today the swiss will gather in their mandatory nuclear war shelters to learn about something no bunker will protect them from: the apple watch. how many are we allowed to buy? how many X is apple gold better than normal gold? which would have been steves favorite watch? etc

:siren: take into account dst in the us the keynote is an hour earlier than usual for the rest of the world :siren:

the macbook can drive a 4k display somehow, but the much faster air can still only do 2560x1600

i have a sneaking suspicion its gonna lag like a dog. just like my last macbook - the plastic whitebook. my favorite laptop ever, despite crashing constantly and being slower than your moms "dash" to the salad bar.

I think apple has proven with the New MacBook and with the Lightning connector that using a single "smart plug" is a viable option with today's technology.

we live in very exciting times my friend

ya but only apple things had lightning. i have a lot of non apple things and i dont just mean like at home. like in the booth there are 999999999999999999999999 kinds of cables. i dont mean special ones like we got a lot of xlr or 1/4" but like firewire and poo poo. what a fail.

the problem with proprietary connectors is that they're proprietary. there is all sorts of esoteric pro gear that is spend huge dollars on that will never a lightning cable due it being proprietary despite it having good specs. thats why im kinda stoked about usb-c

i mean i understand that lightning is a good cable that has great specs. good transfer rate, reversible, idk other cable things. data integrity? idk man. but one thing i DO know is ALL proprietary cables are doomed to failure, backwards, and bad. period.
