Flux has been such a great tool. I love that Apple is copying that functionality and I hope the Flux team understands that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
- feelix 10y agoConsidering that it's costing them their business and fame, I doubt that they would see it like that.
- kalleboo 10y agoWhat is their business? It's a free app. Have they licensed the technology to anyone?
- edwinjm 10y agoFrom their website: "f.lux is patent pending". So when they get their patent, they can sell licenses.
- drivebyops 10y agoOr sue Apple ;)
- dan1234 10y agoConsidering they’ve both implemented it, I’d guess Apple & Google have either already licensed the tech or decided the patent application has no merit.
- asendra 10y agoWell, given that the Flux team has refused for years to allow us to configure the times and for how long it activates itself, I welcome Apple bringing this to the mac.
- ClassyJacket 10y agoI can't understand why this is. Surely it was harder to implement the sunrise sync than a simple time dropdown? This is the one reason I want to get away from Flux. Does anyone know what their supposed motivation was for not letting us set the start and end time?
- asendra 10y agoI read the other day a bullshity response in their forums like that their objective was to understand human behaviour not just set timers or something like that. Edit: - "Our goal is to further the understanding of human biology, not just turn things orange on a timer. It's a longer term undertaking and a much more difficult one." https://forum.justgetflux.com/topic/237/custom-sunset-sunruse-schedule-default-is-not-ok-for-me/84 https://forum.justgetflux.com/topic/237/custom-sunset-sunrus...
- dingo_bat 10y agoLol. That's indescribably smug.
- TorKlingberg 10y agoI always set my location some way to the south west to make f.lux dim later. Sweden in winter may get dark at 3 pm, but that doesn't mean I am going to bed.
