basically phones started to get too big with the 5 and steve used actual testing and evidence to support this fact which is why the 4s remains the superior form factor

there's a lot of people that fancy themselves special with big salad fingers but they're just buying into big screen marketing because of a lack of critical analysis

is google music a good alternative to itunes match?

google music is great, you don't need to pay to use the match feature and it will never delete your music like apple itunes, which will delete every mp3 file on your computer. i just need sundar to update the ios app for the new podcasts playlists which i hear are very good!

also about twice a week apple music will hang on the app loading screen and then i have to go into ios settings and turn off wifi, go back to apple music and let it finish opening, then turn wifi back on. happens on my boss's iphone 6s too

you just have to force close the app and reopen it man. just like i have to toggle night shift mode on and off about every other morning because it gets stuck on

Will dongle be a success? Yes
Total Apple dongle sales: 500 bn USD
Total Samsung dongle phones over the next two years: 3000
Total deaths of people who starved while waiting for the new iPhone 7 Plus Pro: 15 dead
Will this cause waiting Apple users to leave the lines? No
Will dongle come in rosegold? No
Will Apple introduce a dongle to attach two dongles to one dongle?: Yes
Will Apple introduce dongle as "incredible, awesome, amazing"? Yes
Will the media refer to the introduction of dongle as "donglegate"? No
-If yes; will Apple retaliate harshly? Yes
Will Tim sacrifice Jonny (make him introduce dongle/move him to sales)? No
Will LG subsequently introduce a donglephone that supports 8 dongles simultaneously? Yes
Will Google do anything silly like try for modular dongles? Yes
Will a fake dongle cause a series of fires? Yes
How long will the dongle trend persist? ~15 years
Will Steve Jobs rise from the dead to prevent dongle?No
In the long run, will dongle be good or bad for the world? Good

We have to look at what those user casualties are- just because they're likely doesn't make them innocent! Lets take a look at a few possibilities:

1) A civilian walking down the street to market gets killed by a truck while fiddling for dongle.

2) A civilian asleep in their house is killed when their house catches fire due to a fake dongle.

OK, these two are regrettable innocents being killed- but since Apple doesn't make a habit of targetting poors who walk or buy fake accessories, they're very small in number!

3) An Android user working at a hackerspace gets electrocuted when he plugs a dongle into an electrical outlet.

4) A Chinese preparing a shipment of fake dongles sold on Aliexpress is killed when the shipment explodes.

5) A non-certified tech repairing an iPhone 7 Pro Plus is killed when a dongle shorts.

6) A YouTuber bleeds to death from a paper cut while unboxing dongle.

7) A techbro chokes to death on a dongle that fell into his Soylent without him noticing.

etc, etc. The list goes on. My point is that there are a lot of dipshit poors and idiots supporting non-Apple approved solutions that aren't exactly "innocent" and whose death would rightly please Apple. I'm an Apple user who jailbroke his iPhone and work for a ridesharing but for goldfishes startup, but I acknowledge I'm also a tremendous idiot hellfucker because of what I do. And I think the vast majority of user casualties will not be innocent.

my freaking iphone wouldn't charge today no matter which cable I used and I had to reboot the phone to fix it. what a freaking piece of crap the apple iphone is.

same thing happened to me a couple weeks ago. it coincided with my car charger dying, maybe it has a self preservation thing that shuts off the port if it gets weird power input

yet again the SE proves to be the superior iPhone.

does just pulling down on that notification actually work for you? with ios x I've started to have to sort of slide the shade up and then pull it down to get to actions, took me a while to figure out

when you watch low frame rate video at the cinema they insert black frames to counteract motion blur from your eyes tracking moving objects, on a home display in a well lit room 24fps looks like juddery garbage in comparison when it just does a hard transition from frame to frame.
motion interpolation was an attempt to counteract eyestrain from all that judder, unfortunately it is really good at revealing bad acting, props and cgi effects.

does an egpu accelerate the screen of the laptop/desktop in a target display mode over thunderbolt 3 or does it only accelerate external monitors connected directly to the gpu through hdmi or displayport or w/e?

either way it's a neat technology, but it'd be cool as gently caress to smash together a 5k imac with a huge gpu and have a poor man's imac pro

on Windows laptops the egpu will help the built in display with some performance loss compared to an external but OSX doesn't support it at all
