At this point Smythe is like one of those moderators Lowtax imposed to destroy LF from the inside when it got too popular.

Tolerating outright death threats from the likes of Amethyst, joking with AIDS, or tolerating and using words like "retard" and "human being" not only makes him a bad moderator, but a bad person.

that was the only time LF was any good

a laptop from a couple of years ago would have 4gb of ram

one of mobile slowfaris biggest problems is lack of ram and its worse in failos7/8 cause most of the ram is eaten up by jonnys poor design decisions.

the hardware was sub par when it was new, but failos 7/8 are just so damned bad that it makes the web unusable.

the only place you would use slowfari is in failos and that's because apple wont let you install a working browser. are you running some jailbroken version of failos w/ adblockers?

anyone else publishing on Apple News?
I put our RSS feeds into it, and it updates really infrequently, and when it finally does it picks up like 2 new articles when a bunch have been posted. Like it doesn't even match our feed.

e: i also changed the name of one of our section headers like 2 days ago, and it hasn't taken effect...

wth is apple news?

its a fantastic new feature coming in iOS 9

Basically it lets publishers syndicate their content to iOS without having to make an app.

by far my favorite part of apple music is when i tap "make available offline" on a playlist and it doesnt do anything

my second favorite thing is when it does it, but then later randomly deletes some or all of the songs

so they just renamed itunes to music?

if you had an iphone you would cause they have no ram and it makes the phones unusable.

why the gently caress does one device with bluetooth and NFC built in need an add-on to communicate with another device with bluetooth and NFC built in

god drat it

cable cards are easy to use and any 3rd party cable box that didn't use cable card would have effectively the same thing built in. the problem is most people don't actually care about cable boxes and the few that do already have them via cable card

Shaggar
Apr 26, 2006
altho cable card was pre-switched digital so you have to get a tuning adapter which does suck but they give them to you w/ the card.

According to a new report out of Variety, Apple is looking to enter the TV and movie production industry in a way similar to how Netflix has recently done. The report claims that Apple has been looking to hire both actors and directors to create production divisions that would produce exclusive long-form content in-house.

Specifically, Apple is said to have made a bid to hire the stars of the BBC series Top Gear, but Amazon won out in the end and secured Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond for its own original content.

my iphone 5 is almost in perfect condition as it dropped and the bottom corner cracked a bit but its barely on the screen, no bend

how the gently caress do you bend phones without sitting on em or purposely doin it haha

fewlz

the iphone 6 is the one that bends with normal use.

Shaggar
Apr 26, 2006
the iphone 5 was not as well built as the 4s, but it definitely would require significant force to bend unlike the iphone 6 which will bend with normal use.

Shaggar
Apr 26, 2006
I doubt it because the iphone 6 bends with normal use, not just being sat on.
