unbelievable that they haven't yet canned the shittest of all possible keyboards. so shit neither Samsung or Acer have copied it

swipe keyboards are an improvement. i feel like i've lost a superpower when i have to use someone else's phone. though the autocorrect is still so bad. surely this is a good use-case for the kind of natural-language tech that powers Alexa etc? don't suggest words that make no sense?

actually interested in this wwdc keynote for once
― stet, Monday, 3 June 2019 17:00 (four years ago) link
I'm vaguely interested because it seems like a moment where something interesting *has* to happen?
although right now they're telling developers about how great their original streaming video content is going to be so we're not off to a good start

multiuser TvOS is good. Goodbye Horrid Henry, Goodbye Gardener's World

this is really starting at trundle pace for something that was meant to pack in a whole lot of shit
― stet, Monday, 3 June 2019 17:14 (four years ago) link
I get that these talks are widely viewed outside of the developer community but ranting on about first-party app features on existing hardware without mentioning new APIs they're using seems like a complete waste of developer time

I will never enable dark mode on anything and you can't make me

love how close to parody these presentations skew

why stet? I'm exactly the opposite I will never disable it.

not me! I'm a dark mode stan myself

oh sorry meant silby!

dark mode is essential it saves my eyes
ok, the email masking stuff is good but more of a cloud service offering. nice to have it built in
― mh, Monday, 3 June 2019 17:43 (four years ago) link
I just don't care for it, seems silly
― don't mock my smock or i'll clean your clock (silby), Monday, 3 June 2019 17:44 (four years ago) link
I also have the system text size slider all the way to the left tho so apparently I don't care about my eyes in general
― don't mock my smock or i'll clean your clock (silby), Monday, 3 June 2019 17:45 (four years ago) link
imo the best not caring about eyes would be using dark mode 24/7, even outdoors

dark mode is good, it makes it like you are in a secret cave

multiple docs side-by-side is huge for me. And direct Lightroom import

i don't like dark mode because it doesn't feel like an apple os. feels like windows or some shit like linux that i don't understand

Yeah DM meshes all my open windows into a black mass which looks great but makes it a little hard to distinguish them visually

Mac Pro starts at $6k

$4999 for the screen, fucking hell, $5999 for the matte. And the stand is another grand FUCK
― stet, Monday, 3 June 2019 18:43 (four years ago) link
how much for the Mac Pro wheels? HOW MUCH FOR WHEELS?
― mh, Monday, 3 June 2019 18:47 (four years ago) link
curious to hear what the maxed out price is, i'm guessing 8999
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Monday, 3 June 2019 18:57 (four years ago) link
maxed out is going to be way north of that. the Xeon 28-core alone is $8k
― stet, Monday, 3 June 2019 19:00 (four years ago) link
$23,999.

“Apple said that when a device is offline and sleeping, it sends out a secure Bluetooth beacon that can be detected by other Apple devices nearby, even the ones owned by other people. This results in a network that works to find lost Apple devices through a secure, encrypted, and anonymous signal relay.”This is weird...widescale mainstream mesh

Looks like they finally have a solution in place of the online store saying “we’ll be back soon”

haven't done it for a few years but a friend and I would jokingly max out the top-end system on the website back when Mac Pros were a running thing with regular updates and, even without RAID you could hit $10k reliably
