rminder that using chrome over safari on a macbook whartever lowers effective battery life by around 3 hours.

quote:

While reviewing Apple’s latest ultraportable, The Verge carried out its usual tests to find out just how much battery life users could expect to get. This involves setting the display to 65% brightness and cycling through a series of websites until the battery dies.

Using Apple’s own Safari browser, the MacBook lasted for 13 hours and 18 minutes before it switched off. But when running the same test with Google Chrome, the MacBook gave up after just 9 hours and 45 minutes.

apple music status: downloaded a playlist yesterday and started listening to it in the car

in the car today, went to continue playing it, and discovered that apple music had thoughtfully deleted all the songs in the playlist (including the one i had paused on) and left the playlist as an empty husk to taunt me

amazing, magical

i kinda like it because i dont even like hitting back even on my 5s so i cant imagine enjoying it on a 6+. reachability is a shameful hack for a shameful problem and it would be could if i could make a custom gesture to go back, like drag from bottom-left-to-top-right and bottom-right-to-top-left. i thought maybe assistive touch could help me do that but nah

they've already hosed up the sanctity of drag directions with "drag down from top for notification center" and "drag down for search" anyway

you cant use swipe to go back in all instances because sometimes items on that page have hidden directional swipe commands

actuallyl reachability owns withotu soidng something idiotic like making a nother button for no reoason like an adnrdoi.

instead of having seperate buttons like android, the way apple does it is give you one button that you need to press in a combination of morse code like presses to get it to do what you want

you have one press for home, two presses for multitasking and hold for siri it's hardly morse code or even hard to understand

yeah this, meanwhile android back button is always there even when not needed or appropriate so you better hope the developer of the buggy app you just got dumped into implemented it properly

was using an andorid device earlier and the back button on one app gave a pop up asking i fi wanted to clsoe the app and then when i said yes it dumped me to the home screen and not even the page iwa s on before i opened the app why do people put up wthis
