big trade show announcements were a lot more important before everyone had a constant internet connection in their pocket Like, I don't need to go to macworld any more to see a presentation of the new Photoshop features or get a demo version of myth II

I just discovered that you can double tap the task switcher button to cycle back and forth between your two last apps, like pressing alt-tab, instead of pressing the task switcher and then tapping the one you want. This is going to change my life. Android you absolute madman

i wish i had one of those. i have an htc magic, which is the second android phone ever sold. i got it because all-touchscreen was cooler in 2008 than one with a keyboard, like a fuckin blackberry or something. but these days it would be fun to say yeah, i have the very first android phone ever made.

jit bull transpile posted:I had mine for 5 years and it never got gross the way you see pictures of online. I use it every day too. these nasty keyboards are owned by loving disgusting people who do horrible poo poo to their computers. i once had a student who asked me for help with his solidworks model and i literally couldn't see what was happening on his laptop screen through the grime. there were sprays of brown god-knows-what all over the glass, like he'd been driving it through the mud, and grunge caked on so hard you could see it was three-dimensional. i got him a bottle of windex and some paper towels and told him to clean it off before I could help. that may have been humiliating for him but jesus christ dude have some pride

i mean you really don't, as long as you don't buy a phone that doubles as a CCP intelligence device and then immediately root it and install an operating system image customized by putin's nephew my sony android has no ads other than the poo poo in the youtube app. does ios have ads playing in front of youtubes? that would be a major win for them if no

When I was like 12 years old I had a subscription to MacAddict and would read every issue cover to cover over and over again. I told my mom once that when I grew up, I wanted to write for a tech publication like that, and she literally laughed in my face A good mom as it turns out

one of my students was showing me a picture on his new sarnsung or whatever and i noticed that it has a very skinny (maybe 3mm) full-width bezel along the top of the screen, which still contains the cameras and sensors. it looks like 1000% better than any notch. pretty loving amazing that androids are now not just matching but beating apple's industrial design

phones with full keyboards are dead. swype style gestural typing is very fast and much smoother than thumb-tapping, and if you need to write an essay on your phone there are apps like airdroid that will mirror it into your computer, or you can be a super goon and just get a usb or bluetooth keyboard.

Not really? Open source software (and, to a lesser extent, hardware) is incredibly wasteful because it's predominantly made by incompetent amateurs with no budget, scope or timeline

my phone updated to android pee last night and i loving hate two UI changes in particular 1) the clock is on the left now, with the notifications, instead of on the right with the "system tray" stuff. this makes it look like i constantly have a notification active 2) when you change the volume, the slider pops up in the middle of the screen along the side, obscuring the screen content, instead of at the top like it used to i believe that both of these changes were made because phones are all gonna have that stupid loving notch. now you have to balance stuff at the top left and right (clock) because the center top isn't usable, and a slider at the top of the screen also naturally would be partially obscured so it has to go somewhere else i could get used to the volume thing but of course there is also no way to return the clock to the right even though my phone has a normal screen. go gently caress yourself, google

all notches are stupid and bad there are sarnsungs out there that cram the camera and all the sensors into like a 1/8" bezel at the top of the screen. there's zero reason to make the screen a weird shape with cutouts when you can do that instead.

i don't know about the Big Game thing but here is his long-suffering wife's opinion on the matterquote:Several years ago I asked Nilay for a new suitcase for Christmas, expecting a sturdy Samsonite or Tumi. You know, a suitcase. Instead, I received what he had deemed the “prettiest one.” It was subsequently destroyed both aesthetically and functionally after its very first journey in the hands of American Airlines.

i just wanted to post that it's p cool that everything is going to usb-c finally. it's neat to be able to mix and match laptop chargers between any recent models regardless of manufacturer, and also use the same one for my phone in a pinch. like i just noticed that my phone battery is low, was too lazy to get up and walk over to its charger, but oh look at that i can just unplug my wireless keyboard and use that cable and it just works. my laptop has 2x USB-C and 3x USB-A and that's excellent and appropriate for the next 5 years or so, but i hope usb-c continues to grow and doesn't get replaced with some other proprietary dogshit a year from now

yeah that's real dumb. i put my 14" thinkpad beside a friend's 15" mbp and it's exactly the same thickness both open and closed, but in the thinkpad they managed to fit three regular usb ports and a full size hdmi as well as the two usb-c. apple has zero excuse. other than courage, i guess
