I HATE APPLE

I think, when I was still into taking and uploading photos, I bought a pretty nice extension for doing so. Wonder if that's still a thing.

Photos has totally broken Flickr support.

Friendster support, too.

lol all you want but i have finally gotten my family to pay attention to my flickr stream instead of waiting for me to send several MB of photos via email to them and it's pretty f'in annoying (and has been for some time)

there's also no quick way to get photos to save out a smaller version of a photo (i used to use the share... email thing, then choose "medium" size, then drag the image to my desktop - then spread the resulting paste between two intact photos, obv)

File -> Export in Photos has an option to select file size.

Waiting for an iOS 9 jailbreak.

Supposedly it's already out: http://www.ios9cydia.com/ios-9-jailbreak.html

I think I'm getting my work BB replaced with a work 5S. This should be entertaining.

That's a scam. Can't truss it.

thank you Chris Elvis!

Tracer, be careful!

I've been jailbreaking a long time, and that shit is FAKE. Seriously.

lol no i meant about the grand-dad level advice re: saving down smaller images from Photos

would not jailbreak in 10000000 years

Hah!

YW! Also Photos does work with Automator so if you're having to do a lot of repetitive shit, script it up.

I used to jailbreak my old phone whenever I upgraded, but the scam/backdoored jailbreaking kits are a straight-up legit attack vector. No way I'm letting that kind of nonsense into my life - especially now that I finally have iCloud working out OK.

lol it is pretty astonishing that they would design it that way

stunning.

makes no sense, but it sounds like you can run it for hours off a five minute charge (full charge takes about two hours and lasts a month) so I'm guessing they're doing some sort of capacitor buffering. or whatever the correct electrical engineering term is

if you could use it while charging then it would be a CORDED mouse. it is a CORDLESS mouse. steve would approve of this dickish move.

idk I have a pretty nice desktop mouse that is both wireless and corded and it doesn't actually charge in corded mode -- you have to set it on the base/charger when not in use to charge

lol Tracer with the semantics

On a par with hiding all the iMac ports round the back instead of on the side where they'd be more accessible, and making the power button so flush you can barely find it by feel and have to peer round the back just to turn the fucking thing on.

if you don't freak everyone out just a little with every launch, how do you know you're innovating hard enough?

- the zip hoodie code, #32

also that is still pretty much a ridiculous place for them to put that port on the mouse, didn't mean to excuse that. lol

reminds me of how the ps3 controller power cords are too short to reach any couch so you need to buy two controllers and cycle them.

A beached dead whale on your desk whose very design caused it to strand. This is just as stupidly annoying as the hockey puck mouse.

The garbage thing is Apple will redesign it “new, more conveniently designed and the new Right Way” when it should have been done right the first time. Apple's done this forever both with and without Jobs around. Worse, OF COURSE I'm going to buy one because my magic mouse 1 has been flaking out. Also have to worry about taking a mouse charger with me when I travel.

no trackpad 4 u, elvis?

Apple has never made a good mouse and I applaud their efforts to mock people who want to buy them

I still use the v2 hockey puck every day. I love that mouse

Why don't you marry it then?

It said no

Y'all just didn't click, I guess.

hmmmmmm that photo... if you're supposed to be rolling it on the narrow side like that, they should make it look more like a taco or something

Can't deal with the separate trackpad - even though I'm a laptop full-timer and have one in front of me. I can't get quite the hang of using it in GarageBand and Logic Pro.

I'm addicted to the gestures, can't imagine not being able to see all windows with a simple little push up on the pad

How does the trackpad (not the magic one, just the regular bluetooth one) fare in Windows? my work mouse has seen better days and I'm considering trying it out at work

Mail has crashed out twice since the update, not freezing, just quitting completely out of the blue when I'm not even using it

love the font though :/

Mail crashes all the time for me
Music is terrible now, the number of awkward swipes and taps required to navigate between albums, artists, and playlists is ridiculous

i updated itunes on one of my other laptops (windows) so i could sync some music to my gf's new iphone. i had to update itunes and now my library is empty and about 3 years worth of playlist were deleted.

also, on iOS, Music forgets what point you were at in the song. not every time, just sometimes. so listening to a DJ mix, for instance is so aggravating that it's not worth it

Do you have a backup of your libray.xml file? If so, swap out that file for whatever the new xml file is.

my single most hated iOS feature used to be one of my faves --- i'd plug my phone into my car stereo, and it would just pick-up playing whatever i had last been listening to (be it Music, Rdio, Podcast)

now when I plug it in, it immediately starts playing my library, starting at the beginning of my library, so it's the same song opening every time, and i have to either shut it off or go in and find what i actually wanted to listen to

Can't believe I only discovered three finger drag a few days ago. Almost never have to actually press the trackpad down now.

iOS Music app is probably the worst app i have ever used. like i am considering getting a 3rd party app now??

me too, i have zero investment in itunes, don't care about transferring ratings. it would be nice if i could export my playlists to another app but it's not strictly necessary. i just want an app that can sync with my phone and not forget the point in the track that i stopped listening.

I'm the resident defender of pretty bad apple ui probs and I will now willingly admit that thing has some serious problems

Idk, I really like the music app. iTunes certainly has its issues, but it's the devil I know.
