lol @ the thread title implying apple users are gay or homosexuals and basically using gay/homosexuals as a derogatory term, while also implying that most gay people have AIDS because it's obviously a thing that gay people commonly have


comeon son, you can joke about how inept or money-grabby they are without dragging sexual orientations into this

oh cool mobile ads blocking


the worst one i've seen is a html5 video ad that literally autoplays with no interaction from users at all when you scroll by, i reloaded the page just to make sure that i didn't accidentally click on anything and it still autoplayed while killing whatever music i had playing

the other ones are those full-page ad-layer that pops up and completely blocks whatever you were trying to read while giving you a tiny tiny x button somewhere on the page that you have to carefully click, any mis-click means you've just clicked on their ad and went to some other terrible page full of ads that'll take ages to load

it's ads all the way down

can you easily switch between 2 Apple IDs on a single iOS device?
you can't really run two accounts at the same time probably due to design decision regarding usability and limited battery/processing power

if you mean disabling one account and optionally erase its content then login to the other then yeah it will take only few minutes

how much storage/processing power/battery life should be devoted to the other account? how are you going to handle notifications for each users that's coming in at the same time? what sort of security do you need to separate the users memory usage?

most importantly how many users do you think will use this feature to make the resources devoted to this 'worth it'

gently caress ads for loading a bunch of bullshit and makes each page taking like 10 seconds to load even though the main contents are texts and you have good LTE coverage for 50+Mbps speed

and good thing the block is coming just in time as there are more and more loving autoplay html5 video ads that will pause/cut your music as you scroll by the page even if you didn't click/touch anywhere near the frame of the ad

the worst part is that you have to literally go back into the music app to resume your song as the pause/play shortcut in the control center now pause/play the ad

but at the same time they are still the only option if you want to enjoy the benefit of the recent tech advancements

sticking with your 4s?

well guess you will miss out the faster lte speed, voice over lte, noise cancelling that basically allow you to talk in a bar and still hear each other, much faster SoC with better battery life, brighter screen with much more accurate colour that looks decent even in the sun, better camera with the latest sensor that does on-sensor phase detection for instant AF, better and more efficient radio and so on

it all adds up

idiot users need others to protect them from themselves, it's probably one of the cost of doing business if you want to sell as many phones as possible


on a related note it's funny to see that people complain about how fragile the phone is but no one really do drop test on dSLR cameras or SLR lenses

imagine if they drop tested the canon 300mm 2.8II or 70-200 f2.8 II lens and come away surprised that the glass somehow shattered

echinopsis posted:

iphones are meant to be carried on your person like all the time, and should be durable to handle doing so

also whats this about small phone numbers droping off?
which is why the camera lens comparison is pretty apt since you also have to carry it 'on your person like all the time' through rough or even rougher terrains when you go out for a days shooting or something

but no one complains to leica/canon/nikon when they dropped and shattered their multi-thousand dollar lens

do the iphone lenses have any moving parts? also they are signifincalty smaller


once sagebrush made an excellent point that constantly driving toward a goal like getting thinner isnt necessarily a good thing in of itself. there will be a sweet spot for thickness and strength. is the iphone6 too thin? my sources are pointing towards maybe
the 6/6s plus has the optical stabilization element in there which is probably really bad with shock, along with the precision aligned lenses

but we are mostly talking about the giant piece of glass in front of the phone's display, which is actually quite a bit larger and thinner compare to the glass elements in most $2000+ camera lenses



and yet people still dont really complain when they dropped and shattered their own camera lenses

i dont care because i already preordered the 6s

it's doing some stuff in the background after the update, let it sit for a few moment and pickup and use it again and it should be fine

if you want to force it then do a reboot or something, but supposedly the system will be doing some sort of cleanup especially after an OTA update, but all is well when i went back about 30 mins later

wait you can jailbreak to add pressure sensor?


it's like the same idiots who complained that there's no facetime on 3gs and they wanted to jailbreak to add that functionality because using the back camera for video chat is somehow a usable thing

it also meant that they had to clone the ecid/deviceid or whatever from another iphone 4 and hack that onto the jailbroken 3gs in order for the device to be even registered, but of course that breaks a bunch of other stuff too on both phones

If you have low-impedance/high-efficiency headphones, the 6s makes them buzz when the CPU does stuff, kind of like the audio outputs on a taiwanese motherboard from 2001

This issue is pretty noticeable with my 6s+ with cheap monoprice headphones, but since you can't hear it with the apple earpods I guess they figured it's close enough.

why drive your tesla in the snow though?
they sell quite a few of them to nordic countries

The Management posted:

yes, but they get warm as they discharge and in hotter weather they can't dissipate that heat as well. tesla batteries are both actively cooled and actively heated. fun fact, if you park your tesla unplugged in freezing temperatures you will wake up with considerably less charge than when you left it. plugging it into a normal 110v plug will just give it enough energy to maintain current charge levels.
yeah li-ion self discharge quite quickly in higher temp when they are not being used, while they actually store better in colder temps as it has a lower self-discharge rate

but since the car is designed to be driven, you are probably right and they'll do whatever they can to keep the battery warm and ready to be used in colder climate or else it will drain really really quickly when they start driving it
