This design does not look like it will seesaw or rock more than any keyboard with angled stands. And the bump prevents scratches to the lenses.

This design solves that as well. If anything, it orients the phone in a slightly more convenient angle.

This was very nice to use once you got used to it. It definitely improved the reachability of the interface and took up less space than the next UI which added a bar to the bottom, but kept the top bar. It seemed like a very logical design.

Could the current model have TB4 enabled via software? Is everything there on the hardware side?

The unique thing about this is that it takes a widget from the app, and expands it out while blurring the rest of the screen. So it’s not just an OS gui component.

That’s why I specified “light web browsing”.

> Along with submitting “widget” hierarchy updates, it also supports submitting “animations”. Is that how all these third party iOS apps all have completely consistent “pop” animations on long press?

I like it if the laptop only starts the fan up when the device actually is working. Not constantly turning it on and off during like light web browsing. My 2018 MBP 13” and the Surface Laptop I’ve tried did that well. An XPS 15 I’m currentl

Edit: the parent commenter does not have a miniLED iPad. If you have the 12.9” M1 iPad, the ghosting is likely due to the new miniLED backlight which was introduced with that model. This backlight is not static, but tracks to content in ord

realtime audio and good color management are two things a lot of people use macOS for..

The “dark mode” on this website is cute. I wonder if it might help some people read.

Why is there so much padding around each tab? I guess it makes for clear click targets. Honestly was a fan of the old initial design, though I do lean towards compromising for more screen space.

laptops are always Wh in my experience.

Why did the mobile industry decide to use mAh instead of Wh.

This has been a feature on at least higher end Samsung Galaxy devices for some time now. There it is less restricted, and you can basically use your phone as a standard Qi wireless charging pad.

First use of Reverse Wireless charging on an iPhone. Also, the iPad charging is one way.

To clarify the first bullet point: When the battery pack is plugged into an outlet, it will function more or less as a standard 15W wireless charger. When unplugged from the wall and drawing from it's own energy, it will only provide 5

Bose’ QC series of headphones is great. Incredibly comfortable and well tuned with noise canceling that’s still very competitive with more recent headphones. The newer Bose 700 makes too many compromises to look nice IMO.

That’s a nice looking website.

Anything that made more drastic changes from the raw HTML look would be frowned upon on this website. That combined with the drop in requirement means it could never be too much of an improvement.

Well I think the version with CSS looks moderately better. It feels less haphazard. Such a small quantity of CSS is not really going to impact loading times significantly either. </shrug>

How fast does this feel compared to VS Code? I went into the whole onivim -> revery -> reason rabbit hole and the native code compilation is compelling, but Flutter does the same thing and is pretty slow.

Back in the early days of Chrome, I definitely feel that a lot of people switched and continued using it because it looked and felt better.

To me it still seems fairly clear which tab is being focused since it's the only one outlined. I think separating the tab into its own bubble may pave the way for more interesting UI in the future. These bubbles could be stacked or dis

I am beginning to doubt you actually read the article. In any case, are you trying to compare India to North Korea?

What is up with the comments in this thread? How are people seeing this as the Indian government taking a stand against censorship or whatever? The same government is upset that Twitter reinstated several accounts critical of the administra
