One people on the planet do this.

I'm personally not saying that excuses it, but I've once read that it was an absolutely conscious decision by Apple to put the port where it is.

A lot of people tend to simply leave the mouse plugged into a cable when using it, even once it's charged. Apple is famous for the image that they would like their products to convey. They don't want people leaving the mouse plugged in because it's convenient or they're unable to act on a month-long warning. They want to force you to use the mouse as it was designed -- wireless.

I'm not saying it's good, I don't have one myself and I plainly don't like the ergonomics of it. I like the look and I think I would be able to work around the port-location constraint, but it just doesn't feel nice to hold.

Pretty to look at, though.

Well yeah, a person getting their SIM swapped is not the same as someone getting scammed.

Until it is.

What's silly is this comment, as it has in no way furthered the discussion. It only enables one to feel smug for a hot minute. Surely you're smart enough to infer that "natural causes" are said in contrast to "human-made causes".

It sounds more like gatekeeping to me rather than being cranky. Not saying you are actively doing so, but I'm not sure RFID and the likes are "easy to teach things". Quite the contrary, actually. So if this motivates some teens to go out possibly discover an affinity for hacking, it has done its job. That's my thought of this product anyway.

Keep in mind that you're commenting in the thread about the iPhone 15, not the iPhone 15 Pro. With your comment you're comparing the new iPhone 15 with the features of last year's iPhone 14 Pro. The Pro features are always more extensive, just as this year's. The following year, most of those features typically trickle down to the non-Pro iPhone.

It seems like the person you're responding to has a problem with them selling their data in real-time to 3rd parties, rather than just any Google employee knowing where they are heading.

What would have been the intention?

> It is only restricted to anonymous users or users who are not subscribed.

Those subreddits are restricted, not private.

so r/ich_iel shows up on the current front page? because it's still private[0], and even left a note saying they moved to lemmy.

But they have done neither. They did not build the most popular 3PA features into their native app, nor did they offer to buy them out.

Then what is your definition of a power user?

Fair enough. I've never come across that saying and spend a considerable amount of time online, but I get what you mean.

Well, seeing the path many of the big social media players chose, I could imagine that the term enshittification will be around for a little longer, unfortunately.

Yeah people weren't exactly thrilled about the look of AirPods when they first released. Everyone thought they looked so unflattering. I do agree that the AVP does look too clunky for the general public, but it's not hard to imagine that this will be improved upon with every future generation.

I'm not a big fan of the word per se but it has been coined to describe the _exact_ concept that's happening here. What would be an established word for it? Deteriorating? Diluted? I'm not an English native, but the internet has always been a bit of a vulgar place and all that so enshittification seems about right.

Just wait another 3 weeks ...

It's the same song every time Apple releases a new product. Yes, bits and pieces have been present in a variety of already existing products, but there is simply no one single existing product you could compare this one to. And history has simply shown that Apple usually gets a lot of things right and is a main driver in mass adoption. I don't know if that's gonna be the case here, since it's still "a lot" to put on something intrusive like that on your face for most people, but it's just not right to compare it directly to a Quest or something.

Similarly, sure, maybe NReal and BigScreen have done something similar and were earlier in doing so. But they simply don't have the same audience Apple does. I get the frustration -- we shouldn't credit Apple as the sole inventor of all good things. But they are usually really good in stitching a lot of good things together and releasing them in a single product that usually turns out fairly successful.

Oh there's none of that. You only see the subreddits you visit or any conglomeration thereof, such as multireddits or simply the frontpage. Unless you're subscribed to r/washingmachines, you'll never see a post from there. I didn't even know that was a thing in the official app, that turns me off even more.

I'm gonna go ahead and say everything. It's faster, no ads, beautifully designed so that it really shines on iOS, you can customize it to no end, ... the list goes on. Check it out on the AppStore if you like (or wait and see how this all turns out beforehand).

Different strokes for different folks for sure, but I personally cannot stand the "official" app. It's popular for sure, but mainly because reddit is popular and most people simply opt for the "official" client by default. The one time I tried it I hated all the ads, the inability to follow comment chains properly, the sluggishness -- really, everything. Apollo was a GODSENT back when it was announced. And I'm not even talking about tasks you would do as a moderator. I do hope that they reverse their decision.

Yikes.

You talking about Ireland, UK, Europe or ... globally?

All good points, especially the one vs many membership to viewers ratio. You're probably right (at least I hope so) that someone will have run the numbers. I guess we will see.

This frustrates me to no end. I haven't encountered the issue of having German audio only, but so often there are no English subtitles and it drives me mad.

I doubt these two scale linearly, otherwise how would they make money? Also, I could imagine that the people that want their comfort show to be running in the background 24/7 are the ones that won't cancel their subscriptions. It's the occasional watcher that will most likely deem netflix worthless to them, so their subscriber to usage cost ratio might even worsen. I'm just guessing here though, obviously.

It's a great show and at times really makes you wish that's how things would have transpired (i.e., we would not have taken a collective ~30 year break from space travel). Fully seconding this recommendation!

HN is certainly one of the last bastions of quality discussions online.

On the other hand, having such a high density of people who are probably reasonably intelligent within their subject (which I will broadly define as [Software] Engineering) has shown me that there is a very clear tendency to overestimate ones intelligence when it comes to topics that are outside that realm of expertise. I frequently get the feeling that comments will take on positions that are arguably contraire in what seems to be an attempt to show how deeply one may have thought about a given topic and to have come to a conclusion the majority of people can't even fathom.

It's difficult for me to pinpoint exactly. It is, however, a joy to see how respectful most discussions are, which I will also credit to the tight moderation on this site.

... but as soon as you start scrolling on said page, the address bar minimizes? Are you sure that's an actual problem you have?

I don't know much about it so let me ask: is this primarily a software or hardware "issue"? I feel like it wasn't really an issue before the Pro's, and I've been using AirPods since 2016. I may just be misremembering things though.

I totally get it, too. When I'm on call with someone and they do kitchen stuff or whatever, I quite literally feel an erratic rage building up and just want to hang up immediately. It sounds so infuriatingly loud, even though the other side may have only put down a glass on the counter or something. It's really bad imo. If this somehow gets fixed, I'll buy a pair at an instant.

That's what I'm wondering. It's impossible to do anything while on a call without the other side complaining that it sounds like I'm banging cutlery on my pots.
