New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

no, force touch meaning the more dynamic use. not the regular features that mimic a mouse with a left and right button

lol, one republic
this is what happens when you burn out U2

sorry bro

xp

oh, so you disabled the deep click part

it's still using the exact same vibration part, just on weaker mode

you just angrily ripped the third button off your mouse

Who the fuck is one republic

the most middlebrow act they could find

maybe imagine dragons were booked

iPhone upgrade program sounds promising?

multicolor bands for your uselesss smartwatch, ipad surface maxi, ipencil, amazon itv, iphone force touch and onerepublic
i want none of these things and i spend money on truly useless shit

Includes apple care + ?

mh

i recommend you go a week with it "disabled" (or turned off, like i say) and then compare how different it is

I like the new OS updates I don't have to pay for, they seem chill

also the only mention of OS X revision's release date was in an on-screen sample email, lol

Probably requires handing in your old phone every year though

I could see iPad Pro as a truly great music production device.

yo infinity guy I never really use it anyway, since only safari seems to support it, and I have accidentally "force touched" a sum total of zero times

maybe you just click really hard?

iPad pro seems... really big

wait are you guys serious about OneRepublic

hahahahahahahahaha

:)

i think you've missed the many things you can do with it, bro

like all great things, it depends how you finger it

you'll get the hang of it

and let it be known that my touch is as gentle as a feather

namaste

the jump the shark factor of onerepublic is so great

onerepublic sucks, yeah, except that one tune counting stars, because it brings back mems

everything that kills you makes you feel alive, is i think what you meant to say

i feel the love, and i feel it burn

I think what irritates me most about all of these devices is the gradual move over the last couple decades toward a replace-every-few-years model for nearly everything, to the point that I almost feel like a tech subscriber rather than buyer. I also find the rapidity of the tech change itself less tolerable as I age.

I wish they'd make a smaller iphone

iphone 6 OG

Actually disappointed not to see a new regular iPad in there. First time they won't get a yearly update

they might do a quiet refresh?

the separate environment tvOS is really counterintuitive to me, can anyone suggest why they're doing that

what do you mean? It's a different kind of interaction so they need a different UX. It's all just forks of OS X under the hood.

The diff "OSes" mostly refer to the different GUIs and availability of special APIs on each. Most of the programming interfaces are shared, it's just a different project target. I'd imagine most games wouldn't take a whole lot of changes outside of controls.

but i don't WANT to be under the hood

new ipad mini seems like... maybe i finally take the plunge?

then why do you care they're different? xp

Just imagine they are all the same, but there are a handful of components, which we'll call: A B C D E F
Watch OS uses AB and F
iOS uses ABCD, although D only works on iPads (something like multitasking view)
tvOS uses ABDE

So if I'm a developer and I have a library for other developers, it might apply to everything like AB does
If I want to extend an application I wrote, I can use common code for some bits, write a different GUI, and it now works on both iOS and tvOS
Otherwise you end up with stopgaps like the pixel doubling mode that lets you view phone apps on an iPad -- it works because the iPad has the right capabilities for the most part, but it's clunky.

Apple TV already has a stopgap mode, which is the AirPlay mirroring -- you just use it as a display for another iOS device. So basically multiple OSes make it so things work correctly, reduce errors and support needs, and gives you proper testing channels and verification -- they can run automated tools on app store submissions to make sure the API calls are the right ones

Android apps, mostly on rooted devices (which you could probably do on Apple devices, too) can run on other platforms they weren't meant for but it's hacky and a nightmare for developers getting crash logs from random shit they never wanted to support in the first place. I can understand someone wanting to, for example, play a game on Fire TV that is meant for an Android phone but encouraging the path of just shoving the same executable on every device is actually a lot more work than making a native version

too long, do not read unless you are a developer, really

short version: when you design an OS for all devices, whether it's touchscreen tablets or desktops, you get Windows 8

mh, i was riffing on

if i buy a CDMA iphone outright at the same time as signing up for the new month-to-month simple verizon plans, i know that means i can put a european SIM in it when travelling, but can i also put an, e.g. at&t or t-mobile SIM in it in the US. or is it somehow locked inside the US?

i think you can - hard to say without seeing the tech specs tho?

my verizon 5 is somehow locked inside the us, can't even roam properly with a european sim when back in the usa. maybe they fixed that in later phones?

ty for humoring my lack of reading comprehension

caek, when I got an iPhone 6 last year it was via my friend with a Verizon plan. at that point, Verizon had stopped locking their phones completely. I think that's still the case. as far as it being a CDMA phone, it was no prob because there are no "CDMA" phones anymore -- they just support the most common bands for the region you're in but I've used both Cricket and Rogers sims in there with no issue.

Euler, you should be able to request an unlock from Verizon, I think, since you've had the phone long enough

How portable is the Mac Mini, and how possible is it to use it in some situations in lieu of a laptop, assuming you have a portable display? I mean obviously you can't like use it on your lap on a bus, but would it be realistic to carry it around with a portable monitor and set it up in a café where it can be plugged in?
