Rounded corners (and the utterly massive drag area next to them) are touchbar 2.0. Features that no one asked for, has questionable value, and that provides marginal benefit even for its intended audience (touchscreen…
This 100%. I _like_ new features and new UX when it enhances things or makes them easier to work with. That used to be a huge selling point when purchasing a Mac vs PC, genuine thought and consideration had been given…
> What is godawful about it? I'm specifically commenting on their UX decisions, and in that respect literally everything. Tahoe, like every major upgrade, is iterative. Very few things that bowl a person over.…
How dare you remind me how old I am ;)
Mac OS's UX design has been in free fall the last 5-10 years (ever since the "iOS-ify everything" zeitgeist took root). Sincerely hope that they one day revert back, because the current UX is just godawful for any…
Having used Whatsapp for the majority of my messaging the last decade or so, every time I'm forced to use iMessage for communicating with family I can't help but think it's absolutely a garbage interface. Buggy, slow,…
Oh true, I'd forgotten that. Of course the issue with it being in a different place is that many people use multiple OSs and muscle memory is a thing. I'd rather have a reprogrammable key where meta should be.
Completely agree. Now if they would just add a meta key to the bottom row of the keyboard I'd be a happy user. Ctrl and Alt are not enough. And seriously, they are comically large on every chromebook I've owned. Give me…
And that sort of begs the question doesn't it? why isn't buying healthcare basically the same as buying groceries? both are large complex industries with lots of moving pieces that rely on vast networks of distributors.…
FoldingText was an absolute work of art, best outliner I've ever used. It's one of those pieces of software I keep using, long after it has been discontinued, holding my breath with each OS release to see if this is the…
I had many of the same complaints with my remarkable 2... returned it and got an onyx boox note air 2 instead. Still not perfect, but I find the experience much better for my needs.
thank you for posting this.... it looks like exactly what I've been wanting. Looking forward to where the product goes!
And his defense of his mind numbing stupidity was that he was at a Bureau of Land Management meeting and so it was a completely coherent thing to say. Clear cut forests, build a really tall jenga tower, and push the…
And don't forget the ability to run a web server from within the browser. Opera was sometimes buggy, but it was really the first "browser as an operating system".
I'd forgotten about that feature! God the old opera was a hell of a browser. M2, the first stand alone web apps ...
I think the solution is clear... we have to blow up the moon.
From my experience during this outage, the ability for the computer to "open" may not actually mean much. While trying to fix what I assumed was a localized software issue I rebooted my machine. Typically this takes a…
Arrow keys, escape, are controlled via a modifier key. In theory this seems like a horrible job idea, but in practice it allows me to largely keep my right hand on the home row which is great. it took me a few days to…
Fascinating read, thanks for sharing!
Having lived in Zimbabwe for almost three years, I'd say that while the average American is better off financially, the average Zimbabwean is happier with their lives. Close knit families and friends seem to be the big…
I can confirm this on my end as well. Switching out Comcast equipment for my item router and modem has effectively doubled my speeds.
