You knew what you got into when you bought it. Do you buy a Nintendo switch and expect to play Sony exclusives? Lol.

You must want android. Enjoy.

The hate for the charge port baffles me a bit though. Charging for 10 min is enough to last me a day at work, then just plug it in when I’m done to top it up.

I actually quite like the feel of mine for my laptop. I use a pc mouse on my iMac though.

lol. You sad little person.

Dear Apple. Pull your devices from Europe for a few years and let them “enjoy” android devices only.

Photos app new interface sucks.

Better believe hearing aid manufacturers gonna try and legislate these out of existence lest they lose their cash cow.

My bet is a patent troll lawsuit.

They’re obscenely priced too. If AirPods can do even half as good as dedicated ones they’ll be an amazing tool for people with poor hearing.

My wife’s dad is too proud to buy hearing aids but he might be convinced to use AirPods because they’re just headphones like everyone wears.

Most countries regulate medical devices rather closely. The US ASND Canada have some parity of regulations so an obvious first step.

It’s awful. I had other incompatibilities but I would’ve uninstalled it for photos being so awfully itself.

Getting to a specific album is slow and a chore, it feels clunky.

Maybe it will be faster with AI but it’s not there yet so I need to go with what I see.

I like the feel of fine woven. Got it with my 15 pro max.

It’s aged a bit but not worn through or fraying. I did spray it with scotchgard when I first got it though which probably helped somewhat.

Yup. I had 2 medical procedures that would’ve set me back over $100,000 in the US. In Canada I was miffed that I had to pay for parking during the surgery.

People gotta go watch that scene from The Newsroom.

I’ll link it. It’s true.

There are lots of places in the world where people have far better quality of life and don’t need to cower in fear of who’s going to try and kill them and their families next.

Any Will Smith movie.

Unraid checking in. 150TB ish. Dual parity for media files on XFS drives. Can lose 2 drives before array data is at risk, and even then if a drive fails, I’d only lose the data on that drive not the entire array.

Important data is on ab encrypted ZFS array which is snapshotted and replicated hourly to a separate backup server and replicated one more time weekly to 3.5” archive drives which are swapped out to a safe deposit box every few months.

I used to use rsync to do it but snapshot replication with sanoid/syncoid does the same thing in a tiny fraction of the time by just sending snapshot deltas rather than having to compare each file.

Sounds like a pink case is in order.

We upgrade bi yearly right now, but our entire household is iOS.

15 Pro Max here. Totally happy with it. Not gonna worry about 16.

As a parent and someone doing tech support for oldsters the more walled their gardens the less work for me.

And for me that’s all that matters right now.

I don’t hate it but I don’t love it either. I find it slower to get to what I want though than iOS 17 which is annoying.
