Even dumber is that Apple didn't do the obvious thing to make the giant trackpad pay off: Make the Pencil work on it! DUHHHH

WTF!
If not, that seriously hampers this product as a training/refresher tool.
Then Mayor Daley the asshole destroyed the airport.
Santa Monica is next. poundMAGA
And IoT devices typically require tiny throughput. Is your electricity meter pumping out 4K video?
But the Ataris had S-video outputs (in 1978!), which of course is not composite. The color resolution is too high to produce artifacts when using separated video, so those games were essentially black & white on a good monitor like the Commodore 1702 hooked up with separated Y & C signals.
The Ataris were great, forward-thinking computers.
The canned collection of TLDs should have been abolished years ago, but when it looked like ICANN was going to do it and allow arbitrary TLDs, they turned it into a gargantuan rip-off and sham.
Talk about regressive.
But let's face it: The stupidity of the public seems to have no bottom. Look what Apple gets away with.
It's tired and lame.
Come on. This is tiresome.
I spent a goodly amount of time preparing a questionnaire about the client's business needs and purposes for doing ad-hoc database queries. None of the questions were leading or simply offered up a feature. They required some thought and would yield useful information.
The project manager was baffled by it. NO! he said, clearly flummoxed by this divergence from what apparently was his (and perhaps the firm's) lazy, half-assed approach: Look up all the available products for the customer's task, put all of the features they claim to offer in a big list with checkboxes next to them, and hand it to the client. This is exactly what I was told to do, in the rebuke I got for doing it right.
I referred to this as the grocery-list approach. Of COURSE the client is going to create an imaginary need for most of the features and check them off. Who wouldn't?
Another great example is "customizable UI." How many thousands of man-years of work have been wasted on this boondoggle?
They’re consistent between fonts.
Even old TV shows look better than ever, as long as they were scanned from film. Look at the original Star Trek or Twilight Zone on Blu-Ray.
This basically calibrated the thing to look normal... with the magnet there. It took quite a while to restore to normal.
The phone MUST create analog audio signals, to drive its own speaker. Denying customers a connector to access it is petty and offensive. Compounding that offense is requiring every listening device to now incorporate redundant D/A converters. Contrary to apologists saying that this enables better quality, it in fact results in wholly unpredictable quality.
Not to mention that your ears will ALWAYS require analog audio. So do billions of amplification devices around the world.
There's no excuse.
