The Apple issue was not a case of forgetting to renew a certificate, certain 3rd party apps just weren't handling the upgrade correctly. So maybe not quite as easy to find examples after all.
Are you arguing that the internal workings of a company can't be visible at all to outsiders? Or that there's no correlation between the rate of public, easily preventable failures and technical incompetence? Or just that it's not "helpful" somehow to point these things out?
The point of syncing is that you leave it overnight. It’s simply not designed for syncing while you wait. The settings app makes this clear too. Moreover, how often are you syncing a totally different musical catalog to your watch? It sounds like you have a nonstandard use case (needing instant syncing of large amounts of music regularly) that Apple intentionally did not design for. I imagine most people leave the default settings to sync recent and frequent music, or pick a few playlists and leave it at that.
The ignorance on HN always astounds me. Not everyone is a young software engineer making $100k who can move anywhere they want. You realize there are people in this country who can barely afford food, right? Let alone picking up and moving to a whole other city?
Or maybe just the particular companies you work for. At many companies I've worked for, and many others I haven't, drinking with coworkers happens often enough that many they have regular official happy hours at bars.
There's a great deal of cases where Apple went out of their way to help out 3rd parties with compatibility, including quite a few cases with the M1 Macs themselves. Is your comment based on anything or just typical HN "Apple = evil"?
I don't know. I have one spare left — when that's gone I'm toast. I think I remember reading something about a logitech keyboard with similar key travel, but that was years ago and I don't remember the model.
As others have mentioned in this thread, "right" and "left" are all relative. From my point of view, a neoliberal like Biden is right-of-center by any reasonable definition of "right" and "left", but obviously that varies person-to-person. My point is that most of the people on the far left tend to dislike identity politics since it's such an effective distraction from real economic issues.
I know others have mentioned this but to make it explicit: the idea that the wind turbines are responsible for the outages is both false, and being widely spread intentionally to increase public distrust of renewable energy. I'm not suggesting you're doing that, but you should be aware.
I've been using this model keyboard for probably around 10 years now. I even have a couple spares sitting in a drawer since they don't make them anymore.
* they're very durable (talking normal usage + spilling drinks a few times a year — no stuck or broken keys)
* the key labels never fade
* there's 2 low-power USB ports (I think USB 2.0?) which aren't good for much, but good enough to plug a mouse into
* it's not the easiest thing to take apart but if you get crumbs under a key, it's pretty easy to pry it up and then click it back in
IMO this line of thinking implies a lack of contextual understanding about Apple's culture, strategy, and history. Of course we can never predict 100% what big companies will do, but we can be pretty sure Apple isn't interested in doing that.
I think you're way off the mark with the bizarre pseudopsychology in the last paragraph. "Mob mentality" is a well-known phemonenon. People behave very differently when part of a group — especially when you feel like you have right on your side.
Everyone has and knows Discord and it works pretty well. Forcing the use of some unknown open-source tool would only hurt involvement in favor of ideological purity — all the ideology in the world won't save your project if you can't get contributors.
> and many other things that 1 percenters have made for us?
Jesus christ, this has to be satire. The people "making" these things are not in the 1 percent. We don't have to look up to the elites in gratitude because they deigned to give us their magical gifts.
I mean this in the nicest way, but are you seriously suggesting Apple is looking to the open-source Linux community for UI design ideas? Isn't it much more likely the trend is just industry-wide, and Apple is part of it as much as Gnome is? Apple's own UI has been moving in that direction for years anyway before Big Sur.
> (Red circles mean record, grey circles don't have much meaning, but hey, need to keep that UI minimal, can't let usability or actual meaning get in the way!)
Each button in the screenshot toolbar shows a tooltip when you hover over — not even after a couple seconds, but immediately. The one you're talking about is labeled "Record Entire Screen."
Pythonista is great but it hasn't been actively developed in a couple years, and I think pieces of it might be broken. But as long as you stay away from the UI-building aspect of it, it should be enough for what you need.
Updating privacy details don't require an app update. You set your details and immediately publish them on the console — there's no means by which Apple can "hold" their updates.
