I definitely agree that it's nice but not useful enough that you could consider it a required feature. The point I'm trying to make is that Apple markets it as something that is essential and much better than what is out there, wh

So the typical nonsensical argument is that an architect should be a builder. Alright. You can very much do the thing when it's not too costly to fuck up. For many important things, thinking about doing the thing is even more important

Honestly, it is so infrequently needed that just having a synced note app is good enough for the few times you need it. Apple has been focusing way too much on gimmicks like that and they don't have that much value.

Tim Cook is gay and thus works like a woman. He wants "consensus" and focus on appearances to pretend everyone is getting along. The traditional masculine way of competing to show who can do better is frowned upon. It is very unsu

From experience, I can assure you LibreOffice is no real equivalent to Office. I can guarantee you that you will have people asking you about stuff that Office does just fine but isn't really possible in LibreOffice or is a major hassl

Yeah, I don't understand how people can be so surprised by all of it. If it wasn't Trump and it wasn't happening in this manner, something like that was bound to happen at some point. I think it's actually going to be ev

Well, if you define any change as success, I guess that's true. But the reality is that the change that happened is rarely what was requested, nor what was needed. Power just shifts hands, and small concessions are made to keep appear

Considering the target use case and location, they can very much replace the oil use with solar panels. It's actually perfect, because water usage is probably much lower at night, exactly when solar is weak. I doubt they are going to g

Hilariously, you got downvoted. Of course, HN is a popularity contest just like any other social media or social group for that matter. Truth doesn't matter that much for most people, they just want to belong with a tribe even if they

Econ is the only social science that isn't completely bogus. The replication rate isn't too bad, even though it is still worse than STEM of course. Everything else is basically like rolling a dice or even worse. Special mention to

Yeah, the gatekeepers just want their political power, and that's it. Also, education/academia is a big industry nowadays; it feeds many people who have a big incentive to perpetuate the broken system. We are just back to the univ

Well, that's because with the EU there is a law to allow any citizen from any participating country to receive a salary/payment. to any EU-based bank. So you do need SEPA normalization; otherwise that can't work. It's ha

It's just marketing bullshit. Make no mistake, the people using those things don't understand much more than you do; they are just going after shiny new toys, because that's much easier than building something solid that last

Not gonna lie, this kind of extreme sport doesn't attract the brightest people. I have a fascination with this kind of stuff. Taking risks is sometimes necessary and worthwhile in life, but seriously, risking your life just so you can

The only reason we have that is because fintech is eating the meal of traditional banks. They came up with ways to transfer with just a card (which benefits Visa and Mastercard, US companies) and do inter-account instant transfers for free.

Ah yes, I never used that. My car isn't very recent (about 10 years old now), and I drive very little (about 2-3k per year; I take the train to go anywhere far) because I hate it. But the adaptive part would make it much more useful in

I have no idea what you are talking about. I have been using Wero for a while in France and it works just fine and is completely free. It's basically instant bank transfer without any fee or limitation on how many you can do.

Wireless earbuds are convenient sometimes, but that comes at the price of inconvenience other times (thinking about charging and connecting). I think the noise canceling is overhyped to oblivion. Sound isolation with good tips has been more

Yeah, people hating iTunes seem to have no clue how bad all the "alternatives" were back then. I'll be the first to shit on current Apple, but seriously, it was very successful for a reason.

Same. Even cruise control is kind of useless because people in front of you don't necessarily use it and are very inconsistent in their speed. So you end up constantly having to engage/disengage, rendering the whole thing moot. I

Maybe that's it. It is really dependent on the radio environment indeed. And it uses Wi-Fi Direct for large transfers. Once I had weird dropouts streaming to a friend's Bluetooth speakers because it had weird interaction with my A

There is no trackpad connected, just the Magic Mouse that was charging. Maybe it is because of some setting stored inside the mouse (it's a Razer mini). I think it has something to do with the scroll speed that macOS cannot deal with.

If you answer a call on the watch and have AirPods on, it can figure out to switch the audio in/out to AirPods for the call; it just gets handled by the watch. Then you have to awkwardly lean into the watch and listen very carefully be

I recently discovered that for some reason, macOS doesn't want to work with a mouse with a traditional scroll wheel. It just jumps erratically all over the place. I tried using it because I forgot to charge my dumb magic mouse. I'

I'm always dumbfounded by people constantly praising AirDrop. It hasn't worked properly more often than it did. And that's not talking about the times when you send something, it gets accepted, and it just ends up in a void,

With older hardware the trick is to not upgrade the OS. Apple's strategy is actually to make people auto-upgrade to make their work of maintaining older OS/software cheaper and make people who don't have recent enough hardwar

This is satire, but it is so real that it hurts. I have encountered all of those bugs and more. The worst part is the delusional Apple fanboys who will pretend it always works for them because they have associated their ego with the ownersh
