I HATE APPLE

It's a fair assumption, just because (regardless of OS) you're not spinning to edge of the disk as often, running out of hard cache, etc.

xp that recommendation brought to you by the same people who repair permissions when they can't send email, ime

haha

thx koogs, good to know!

Unix depends on the free 10% so much that some versions of df don't even report it as free space, and say the disk is 100% used when it's only 90% full. (which means you can get a disk 105% full, with persistence)

When I upped my iPad to iOS 6 last night, the iTunes window claimed that the iPad was over-full by 9GB for a minute before the iPad rebooted. Impressive.

aw man I want ios 6 where do I sign up

t0rrents or ask a developer friend

caek when you've not got a lot of RAM the 10% free disk space thing is croosh ime

edward, it's getting released on the 19th of the month apparantly.

eh, you're not missing anything. they just messed up the maps app, removed the system youtube one, and changed some colors here and there

will google maps be a purchasable app?

i believe it's already available for free?

there is no standalone google maps app yet afaik, but I would bet they will make one.

the youtube standalone app points the way for that

wouldn't upgrade my iphone to ios6 for the maps reason but would upgrade my ipad since I don't use that for navigation at all

won't update iphone to iOS6 for fear of messing it up but tempted to upgrade my iPad 3 - altho the thing is I use G maps quite a lot on the iPad (esp street view) so would not like to lose that - what are the benefits of iOS6 again?

<crickets>

well there's the new disimproved maps, and there's also some other things that are indispensable

you won't know you loved without it

you loved how you lived

they've not improved the auto-correct, i notice 8)

weird shit

woke up today and my SSD had basically filled up by creating 65 GB of swap files overnight

what could be the culprit?

i did two things out of the ordinary last night:

1) left grand theft auto vice city running all night

2) enabled a new set of junk mail filtering rules on mail.app

i am thinking maybe some memory hooey with GTA?

seems likely

btw restarting my computer solved the issue but still ... wondering where all that junk in private/var came from

i wonder what sort of exotic shit was happening in vice city last night

i shut it down as soon as i woke up, maybe the city had filled up with like 1,000,000 residents or something

and now they're all dead u genocidal maniac

They don't just pause when you walk away, they continue interacting and building a world in there

nanites!

Yo, iOS 6 won't let me search contacts in the Messages app; what the fuck is this bullshit?!

I like complaints like this

http://gizmodo.com/5948045/the-iphone-5-may-be-the-best-phone-in-the-universe-but-its-calendar-icon-still-sucks

"Please examine the number 1 placement in the Calendar app's dock icon. It's optically centered and it looks great"

looks like it's on the wonk to me, isn't tilted as much as the page is.

also, the 1st was a monday...

xp ha yes i miss that kind of grouching. kind of pointless now with the suede calendar and marker felt : (

1. podcasts app is kinda dumb and glitchy
2. why do people get excited about panoramic photos when there is no good way to view them in their full size?

'cuz they're cool

any word on whether the "1" in battery percentages lines up with the other numbers now? i'd upgrade for that.

why do people get excited about panoramic photos when there is no good way to view them in their full size?

they're dumb, yeah. where is my triptych app.

if ppl are moving, panoramic photos become the greatest thing ever

ppl are always moving

A winter's day
In a deep and dark December;
I am alone,
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

question about auto"correct"

suppose i want to type sudafed

spell-checker wants to change it to sedated (not a bad idea)

a little "sedated" shows up under "sudafed" with an "x" to reject the change

is there any way to reject the change without using the trackpad? like a keyboard shortcut?

Esc key, I think.

thankign u

in iOS, typing a random letter and backspacing it clears the x thing as well

Apparently no one at all has iPhone 5 chargers in stock, and the Lightning-to-oldtyle adapter hasn't been released yet, so if you lose or damage your charging cable you are just plain fucked

http://consumerist.com/2012/10/09/lose-your-iphone-5-charger-youre-get-stuck-with-expensive-pretty-brick/

The adapters just shipped a couple days ago

iphone 5 users are so fucked

poor bastards, gonna go tell my coworker who just got one that he's in a sticky situation

the risks of being an early adapter

lmao @ 'bendgate'

is maps getting any better? can i upgrade yet?
