tbf you need to amortize the cost by the amount of time it'll be worth keeping it around without replacing it

my calculator tells me this value is infinity so you're getting a bargain at 879 euros

ya my iPhone 5 is hosed after dropping it drunk all the time, i probably should buy tbh

i read john fireball's thoughts on the apple event so you don't have to

* john fireball wants you to know he is a genius because in 2013 he suggested nintendo make an ios game
* people only use google docs for its collaboration features and its ugly and it sucks and iwork is so much better
* "If you think Apple Watch is a flop you are a moron."
* no mea culpa for being completely wrong about the goldwatch
* "the new iPhones own their bumps."
* "It’s like being a car pundit and judging the new Porsche 911 with a “meh” because it looks like the previous 911, and never even considering what it’s like to actually drive the new car." :iiaca:
* "AirPods are so impressive"

i was super smug about never having broken my phone screen or even not having any significant marks on the glass despite keeping it in the same pocket as my keys.
then about 2 weeks ago i dropped my phone on my way to work, shattered the top left corner of the screen. got the screen replaced on the same day. two days later i drop the phone again and the glass goes neatly in two with a horizontal break in the lower third of the screen.

pretty much the same with my 5

got a friend to replace the screen, but the case was slightly warped and it didn't fit in perfectly, presumably this extra mechanical stress made it crack super quickly

welp

itunes: if you click the play icon in this screenshot, what would you expect to happen?

1) start playing the album dark side of the moon by pink floyd beginning from the track "on the run"
2) nothing else why would it that's obviously what it should do


well you would be wrong. if you click the play icon it starts playing all your songs, in alphabetical order, from the point in the list where On The Run is.

EVEN BETTER - if you double click "on the run" it does exactly what you'd expect and starts playing the actual album

why does it do this? who knows!

apple is officially bad now
