Dislike button posted:yep and that's pretty much what Tim Cook is saying, it's political crap to attack them for following the rules when the governments responsibility is to set and enforce those rules. Of course they have better things to do like try to repeal obamacare for 70th time yeah corps aren't subject to notions of human morality but they also don't need to be defended by fanboys against political attacks as though their human feelings are hurt. apple is a convenient example of a large company that pays less US tax than joe voter might consider fair, and politicians using them as an example to advocate for corporate tax reform is perfectly valid since any eventual law changes would be applied equally to their fellow multinationals.

Shaggar posted:apple cables disintegrate with normal use Shaggar posted:apple cables are the lowest quality. you need to go with monoprice or amazon basics if you want cables that last shaggar was right. ive had three apple lightning/30pin cables turn blue/green and then burst open at the seams. had similar happen to two magsafe's. i'm not rough on my cables. the amazon basics lightning cable is still going strong (as is every other computer cable i've ever used by any other manufacturer)

pseudorandom name posted:I wonder how "distance from Apple Store" compares to "accuracy of Apple Maps". im 2 miles from one and they still don't have my street on the map yet, or any of the other nearby streets. i've reported it missing in apple maps multiple times. these are small side streets that are part of an apartment complex, but it means Maps can't direct people to my home. google and even openstreetmaps have the streets just fine. it's really inexcusable >2 years after launch

reviews all say surprisingly spotty battery life, touchbar is a work in progress, usb-c still nascent, and it costs too much. guess im sticking with my early 2013 another year and see how their next update shakes out. sounds like the new keyboard design is decent tho

that spot on the left is a really weird design choice. if you're going to have it symmetric with the physical power button on the right, just make it a hardware ESC key like the nerds want and save the touchbar space for the other poo poo. when they showed the first pictures i had assumed that's what it was.

the new non-touchbar mbp has a removable ssd, so they can't even say it's some inherent trade-off in the new design also those speaker grills always looked ugly imo so if they're not even useful it's even stupider

Notorious b.s.d. posted:it might actually be though. the touchbar is a complete watchOS system embedded in the macbook, arm chips screen and all well a lot of reviews say the touchbar models have significantly worse battery life anyway, so if that's the explanation they probably should've just made it a millimeter thicker or something. they also needed room for the extra thunderbolt controller i guess. but any way you slice it this is looking like the ipad 3, a product pushed out a couple of months before the underlying tech was where it needed to be to meet deadlines. maybe 6-9 months from now they'll update with the newer intel chips and other tweaks and it'll be good, who knows

Linguica posted:it looks like the Macbook Escape and the Touchbar Edition were two entirely different potential designs, with the former having up-firing speakers and the latter not, and Tim said "porque no los dos?" and then they added fake speaker grilles on the touchbar edition so that it didn't look like it was gimped compared to the cheaper one ifixit now says there are high-freq tweeters that probably use the speaker grille. still looks ugly tho

The New Function Key 13" MacBook will be my last laptop. to be fair it might be lastpass doing something stupid in their app, although it would be p funny if apple was so busy jerking off over touchid that they didn't even consider that someone might still hand type a password

C.H.O.M.E posted:if it is a password manager it should say something like "password for account <userid>" there's like no way it should ever say "my password" that is just insane no i mean lastpass might have rolled a non-standard password box that wasn't marked as "do not parse this input" for whatever api the touch bar interfaces with. it wouldn't have been a problem until now so they might just need to fix their app. real question is whether password fields in every app do this or just lastpass

THC posted:cant believe anyone uses lastpass when 1password is a thing i have used both, and while 1password is better in many ways, its icloud sync is poo poo. multiple times it has failed to sync with no notice until i tried to fill a recent login on my phone and it just wasn't there. now they seem to be pushing their own lastpass-like subscription service with their own servers for sync, idk if its better or just a way to keep up a steady revenue stream.. but the whole value prop of these commercial p/w managers is security and convenience, the minute i need to janitor my p/w database synchronization i might as well be using some open sores abomination.

lord funk posted:i ran into the password autocorrect things from a few pages ago. i was typing something elsewhere and one of my passwords appeared as the autocorrect solution. loving hell actually then the touchbar is good, it's embarrassing lazy devs who aren't using the right field for password entry. even on macs w/o a touchbar that leaky password data is probably being stored for predictive input analysis somewhere vulnerable, or being entered in a way that's less hardened to spyware, etc etc do passwords entered in webforms on the major third party browsers show up too, or just random badly made apps? i know firefox rolls it's own cross platform UI widgets...
