And why would I need to do two things instead of one previously.

The worst thing is Safari removing all tabs button. Quick way is to pinch out with two fingers but that is impossible one-handed. Another is to swipe up (or left/right) on address bar but that often triggers app switching because he in

Which is shit because with launchpad you had muscle memory. Imagine you no longer have pages with icons on your phone and instead only have a search bar

Well too bad for them making 17 pro as heavy as 13 pro steel. Too hot? Well bu-hoo, throttle it. Or, I dunno, don’t run glass shaders. I drop my iphone more often than I need it to compute pi. Aluminium deforms on drop too easily. Thanks, I

Three sets of glasses means you had nearsightedness before you got presbyopia. That means you still get to see fairly good at short distances. People with ordinary presbyopia can’t see shit at arms length and closer.

by piskov 1y ago
But the whole point of presbyopia is that you cannot see what’s in close proximity. The way you know you need your glasses is when your arm’s length isn’t enough to move your phone farther (not closer) to see.

What’s with the size? I comfortably use pro max with one hand: phone rests on the pinky at the point where usb-c hole is. Reachibility (gester of swiping down on home indicator) brings UI half screen down to reach upper regions. Some use po

Well, for the same reason I’ve mentioned, they should: even pro max on 1,25…1.5 zoom will easily become mini

People get old. Old people cannot see small text. Big text requires bigger screen to fit. One could argue that a lot of 50-ish people have pro max with iphone 5-ish screen estate. Small screens ain’t gonna happen

I was talking about swapping esim back and forth: definitely harder than an ordinary sim. Sure you can transfer them while upgrading the phone to a new one.
377.
by piskov 1y ago
You can’t swap them easily between phones. If you break your phone, you may lose access to the number until you return to your home country. Other than that, it’s the same. For most people esim is better

At least air is titanium. Pro returning back to aluminum is very-very bad for durability. Aluminium is very soft: it just deforms to a splash on every drop. I really hope they go back to steel.

What exactly did I misunderstand? Also “learn to use them” feels you’re holding it wrong vibes. See also https://machinelearning.apple.com/research/illusion-of-think...

Check swe-bench results but for C#. It’s literally pathetic how these things just memorize, not achieve any actual problem-solving https://arxiv.org/html/2506.12286v3

Bembo-like font is atrocious. Kerning is horrible. Small caps have different stroke widths. Tufte’s style is ok, just the open-source Bembo bad-clone font is very-very bad.

Could you actually cite some from Brave’s privacy policy (as firefox has now) to corroborate these claims

After the shit Mozilla pulled with ad/tracking this summer, the first step for improved privacy should be to delete firefox and switch to brave / what have you.
