I love the pro I bought last year, but I find I don’t use it as much as I’d like because I cannot use it around my 5yo.

deeply regret installing mojave. constant freezing.
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Monday, 19 November 2018 19:31 (five years ago) link
i'm sorry to hear that but thank you for reaffirming my decision not to install until i finish a very important project
btw, for ppl with touch bar MacBooks: mine froze the other day, and I had no idea what to do because there's no power button... there actually is, it's on the right end of the touch bar. it's there. maybe this is old news. i thought that was cool.

My new favourite Shortcut is Upload to Imgur. Handy for getting pictures ready to post on ILX, which I always found a massive faff on iOS before

I like using the TinyPic keyboard for ilx image uploads. Uploads it and created the bbcode for you, all from zing.

Everyone I know has the stupid watch now so I guess I should get one too. But the only use I can see for it would be to see what song is playing

i literally know no one with an apple watch

I have one. I wear it sometimes. It’s best for letting you see who’s texting you without taking your phone out of your pocket. It’s also great when you have your baby as the wallpaper and said baby always asks to look at it and starts thinking that everybody’s watch has a photo of her in it.
― dan selzer, Wednesday, 19 December 2018 02:26 (five years ago) link
My idea for the watch is to get the lte version, take off the band, put it in my pocket, and use it as a mini phone / music streaming thingy

the thing about the apple devaluation and the link in that with people not buying so many iPhones now is that apple always (usually) made beautiful objects but now that a phone is all or only screen there are not many ways in which an iPhone is a cherishable object over something else that all or only screen, is there?
― brokenshire (jed_), Friday, 4 January 2019 01:15 (five years ago) link
esp. in a case.
they could have had they come out of the gates with a notch-less screen

Yeah man, apple made some killer bezels back in the day
― calstars, Friday, 4 January 2019 01:19 (five years ago) link
my SE as a thing to hold and have is better, more lovely imo, than an equivalent android would be but an XR is no different than something else that is only a screen. If it's only-screen then it's only a screen.
― brokenshire (jed_), Friday, 4 January 2019 01:19 (five years ago) link
i’m still using an 8+ and i legit forget that it even has bezels.the race to eliminate the notch is more interesting than the race to fill the phone face with screen imo. when the notch problem is solved once and for all, this era of notchy phones is going to look totally ridiculous.

Never want to upgrade from my 6s really. Although I did just order a mini headphone amp so that would obviate the need for the headphone jack around the house.

It's extra annoying because Apple's current wireless keyboards are pretty great - can't you just put that keyboard in it, or merge the goddamn teams, or something...
