I uninstalled my Bazzite partition because of the text. Initial searches showed similar frustrations on reddit without obvious and immediate fixes, so I decided to cut my losses and go back to using Windows full time instead of spending hours or days trying to get the rendering to an acceptable level.

They know that. They’re saying the fact that it ever shipped in the first place should’ve been a warning sign.

The only thing that saves Safari syncing for me is the tab groups. iCloud automatic syncing is terrible. I'm pretty sure it's not even syncing my iPad's open tabs for some reason and I have no idea how to start troubleshooting it except for removing my iCloud account and then signing back in.

Even if a theme is perfect, it eventually stops getting updated with new versions of whatever you're using so you have to give it up eventually.

How often do you actually need a repair from Apple? I used to buy AppleCare but stopped in the last few years and have yet to need any repairs done except a battery replacement on a 14 Pro that I was giving to family.

I can’t even imagine what brands they’re buying where support is dropped that quickly.

It annoyingly hugs the right side of the lane for some reason, especially when you're activating BC. Once it goes far enough right it works well. There's a few spots on my 20 minute commute that it likes to disengage because they repainted lines and did a shitty job but that isn't strictly the car's fault.

There's absolutely no way your computer is functioning properly if you have multi-second delays on a simple double-click in Explorer.

Their flagship model SR-X9000 are by far the best headphones I've ever listened to. EStats are insane and it's a new goal of mine to get the whole setup.

It depends on the car I believe. My Mach E doesn't brake as hard as Teslas that I've driven and honestly I'm braking too late more often than I do with normal 2 pedal driving. Mentally it just adds a split second of hesitation because I can't judge as precisely how quickly my car will come to a full stop. The Teslas that I've driven are nice because they brake much harder, which I personally like.

The Mach E has pretty mediocre

Swipe is good on keyboards other than the stock iOS keyboard. That one is worse than every other option imaginable and it sucks to see because iOS used to have the best mobile keyboard bar none back before they tried to get smart with it.

This was my biggest gripe when I used a MacBook 6 years ago. You’re telling me this issue still persists in current versions of Safari? Ridiculous.

I want my EV to last a month on a single charge and yet some people are arguing against battery improvements. Crazy.

This is more the fault of DDG / Bing being awful, than it is Google doing a good job. I’ve found Kagi and Brave at worst are on par with Google without being bloated with ads. And oftentimes they’re simply better.

I had to dig around to find a few names and I had 0 idea what those were when people were dropping them as seemingly viable alternatives. If you decentralize, you don’t get any users who are able to be monetized, and if you centralize it, you’ll end up with another reddit API situation in half a decade when people get greedy or stupid.

Honestly I thought I was only exaggerating a bit.. I thought it was top 3. Crazy how far off it is from the top half. Not to say that’s any excuse for them failing to turn a profit for so long but damn I thought they had more users they could shovel ads onto.

Their ads in the iOS app are formatted exactly like normal reddit posts. I’ve tapped on them by accident quite a few times in the last week. I’m going to assume the New Reddit experience is largely the same, but I’m not about to turn off my adblocker on PC to test that.

Wasn’t Twitter the most popular social media site on the planet and still losing money?

People started this blackout without any alternatives. Twitter users had Instagram, Facebook (even though that’s a worse shitshow and IG is owned by Meta), tiktok, Mastodon, and probably a couple others I’m forgetting. There’s nothing equivalent to reddit with half as much daily activity as even the worst Twitter-alternative, so they’d never catch on. People append “reddit” to google searches now, that’s how integral this site has become to the internet. The strikers should have waited a few days to a couple weeks before this strike instead of reacting immediately.

Every sub is pointing to their own discord server. That’s absolutely not an alternative and a chatroom will never replace a global forum.

The Denver Nuggets sub didn’t even shut down because they were so excited about their potential win. That’s literally the best time to show solidarity and they fucked that up because they cared more about posting 1 sentence meme or hype comments to a game thread.

They’re not even asking for their love to be returned though. They’re just disappointed that Apple is releasing poorly tested products. And that’s troublesome because bad quality directly affects Apple's sales and reputation, so it should be in their best interest to fix it.

Are you telling me people have to be responsible for their own money? The horror.

Even though I use 1Password, I used to use weak passwords on some accounts I frequently had to sign in to because I couldn't stand typing my master password in to my iPhone every time I wanted to open it. Finger print unlocking means I can use significantly stronger passwords for almost everything with little trouble now. That feature has been invaluable to me. Probably one of the most important mobile features ever, for me.

I expected them to display the first 140 characters or so then have longer content expand upon tapping into the tweet once they started introducing those cards into the tweets.

But iPads and Android tablets don't have a UI that practically requires the precision of a trackpad. Obviously you don't have to use the Desktop on your Surface 3, but Microsoft is clearly pushing that as a core feature.

This is exactly what happened to me. DDG is good for my basic searches, but anything more complex often results in me having to fall back to Google.

Unrelated: I hate that DDG doesn't show dates, which I find invaluable for many of my searches. Is there any way to show those in DDG?

Can you explain why the pixel is so much better than the Retina MacBook's screen? My retina is by far the best screen I've ever seen, but I've never had the opportunity to use a Pixel.

FWIW, I've never had any burn in issues with my first gen Retina MacBook in all the years I've owned it. Although based on many of the complaints I've read, that's because I was lucky to get the better screen.

> can't be held easily with one hand

This argument may have been true 3 years ago but they're all vastly easier to carry around in one hand without getting fatigued now. The iPad Air is incredibly light for its size and I was able to use it for hours at a time without wanting to put it down like the older iPads. The retina Mini I have is even lighter.

I agree with everything else you say though. They're great for consuming web content, but I barely use mine for anything else now. If I actually got a phablet like the iPhone 6 Plus, I would probably end up selling my mini altogether because everything I do on my iPad I could do on my iPhone with a larger screen.

That's the main reason I clicked the link, honestly. "Woz quitting OS X? I wonder what he has to say about it."

Yeah it's obvious what they meant, but they probably could have worded it better.
