That's just reduction to absurd. I clearly meant their approach to UX and usability. Are you gonna argue only one DE in Linux is to take serious approach to it?

What you're talking here is what I mentioned: Gnome maybe goes too far with removing some functionality, but I personally haven't used desktop icons in like 10 years and, based on current macOS trend, neither does Apple bet on it.

That's the beauty of it, it just works.

> I often take dozens of screenshots per day, and I save one maybe once a month Sounds borderline implausible. If anything, that's not a typical user user case by far.

So... Steam TV Box confirmed?

by cromka 8mo ago
OK, do me a favor and switch over to Gnome and try there. You'll see what I am talking about.

I am absolutely certain they're headed in the right direction, but even some minimal Usability Testing would give them tremendous amount information on all the low-hanging fruit they could fix/optimize and substantially improve t

Except that's exactly my point. You come to that DE, you don't want to modify and optimize every single nook and cranny. I mean sure, some do, but this is a vast minority. If Linux is to become truly popular desktop, it needs DEs

I did, but I don't share the sentiment. Moved this year from macOS and KDE is over-engineered with little thought put into the UX. For example, try to take a screenshot. I was quite literally shaking my head for good couple minutes loo

If this can run AndroidTV apps (don't see why it couldn't), then it can be a hit.

Dude, "thing you have" and "thing you are" are things that are already defined in context of authorization and MFA. You can't "argue" that just because it fits your narrative. EOT here.

by cromka 8mo ago
Same way? That thing isn't biometric, how is this protecting me in the same way? That's just ridiculous. Yubikey Nano is a "thing you have", TouchID is a "thing you are". I swear you must be trolling here.
823.
by cromka 8mo ago
Yeah, that's fair point.

And this here has A 18 Pro. Don't know what your point is. EDIT. OHHH I get it now. A18 Pro in this vs A10 (non-Pro) in iPhone 17e. My bad and fair enough!

It does. One prot is USB3, other is USB2. iPhone uses fast external storage for RAW video footage.

Which of the parts you mentioned are by definition more expensive? A modem? FaceID is 10 y/o now btw. You're just speculating and selling this as facts. Meanwhile actual material like aluminum, copper, lithium and others are genui
827.
by cromka 8mo ago
I don't know. How do you know the cost of shrinking it is higher than the cost of extra material I mentioned? Also higher cost of shipping? There's so many variables that I think it's safe to assume Apple has similar markup o

Honestly, I don't see it. Are you gonna stay at home with yubikey plugged in? On your couch, in your bed, etc.? It's a matter of months, if not weeks, before you break it? And also need to remember to remove, because otherwise wha

Much bigger screen, keyboard, big battery, lots of copper and aluminum, extra USB port, touchpad, a charger.

People miss that point. An entry level Windows laptop is an upper and complete garbage. You get the ick within seconds of using it. This thing will sell like crazy. No longer is Apple an expensive brand!

by cromka 8mo ago
I'd like to bring to your attention the 2026 irony of how much things now cost: this thing has nearly the same chip, way bigger display,a keyboard, extra USB port, a touchpad, lots of copper inside and aluminum outside, way bigger batt

I want you to read this thread again and try see what was logically implied.

Not necessarily this, but a legislation mandating long-term (10 years) support for software and security updates could result in Apple offering Linux after they decide they don't want to continue releasing macOS for older hardware.

It's the firmware that is made in China that's problematic, not where the motherboard is soldered. Framework assembled there, too, but use open source coreboot firmware. Doesn't get any better than that. Almost every upgrade

Most of the laptop BIOS updates are now for CVEs and other security fixes, from my experience. You don't have much choice but upgrade.

They did. You're nitpicking to not lose face while you could have easily say "OK, didn't know they were separate brands" and we'd all move on with our lives.

This was debunked so many times and people still repeat this crap. No government mandates lack of charger.

Doesn't affect then because of massive, bilion USD contracts they have in components.
