Why did you have to phrase it like that? I don't feel it benefits discussion. It doesn't feel like the HN way.
If you had done an inquiry into the matter, linked to a stack exchange discussion on this bug persisting or being fixed that would've been a lot more useful. Maybe some technological quirks would surface that we could learn from. It's such a shame submissions like these, which the author clearly has spent a lot of time on, will get derided with snark like yours.
Now jkimmel continued in this vain; your comment has anchored the discussion in what i feel is a negative way.
- Sean-Der 11y agoBecause it is frustrating to debug a closed system. I am all for starting a stack exchange discussion when working on things that built communally and not locked down. However, when you are paying Apple for a product, it is frustrating to deal with things being broken and on top of that you have to circumvent their restrictions.
- untog 11y agoBecause it is frustrating. Judging by my post getting positive votes as opposed to negative ones, it appears I am not alone in this. Incremental improvements to the Mail app are lovely, but I (and many others) do not use it. I use wi-fi all the time. If you Google "macbook wake up wifi does not work" there are plenty of complaints, a couple of half-hearted solutions, but not much else. I didn't link to any of them because it isn't worth anyone's time to have to read them. Yes, I am technically minded. As such, I could debug this further and further, but: 1) I can only go so far. This problem requires Apple to issue a fix, and they're definitely aware of it. 2) it's a little like asking a car mechanic to do some car repairs in his spare time for fun. My Macbook is a tool, I want it to just work.
- MrJagil 11y agoYeah, I totally get where you're coming from. I'm not asking for you to debug and fix the problem. I get that this is deep-seeded, and the ball is on Apple's court. I just don't want HN to be a place of one-liners. In your original post you were complaining without adding any substance. Sorry if I sound harsh, it just really irks me. Maybe I should've left it at a down-vote, this back-and-forth is not particularly fruitful either.
- untog 11y agoI just don't want HN to be a place of one-liners. In your original post you were complaining without adding any substance. I guess we can agree to disagree - I don't really know what useful substance I could provide. Plenty of people experience the same thing, and I don't think posts should be wordy just for the sake of not being one-liners.
- MrJagil 11y agoWorked out though, with fogleman providing some good feedback!
