I too wish Esperanto would gain mass adoption but my only qualm with it is the consonant clusters that aren’t friendly for non-European language speakers.
I like dogs like I like toddlers. It’s fun to hang out with other people’s for a while, but ultimately they’re annoying, loud, and make a mess. I feel like in the past 10 years or so, dog owners have become increasingly convinced that everyone thinks their slobbering, untrained mutt is god’s gift to everyone, and expects...
I’ve never been into dogs, that is until I met my wife and her dogs. They’re two chihuahuas which have a bad reputation but I never knew enough about dogs generally speaking to really know.
Now that I work from home, I’m with the dogs 24/7. I am incredibly attached to them. I walk them, I feed them, I spend a lot of time with them.
I also understand not everyone loves dogs so I don’t take them out shopping, let them grab food out of others’ hands, etc. I’m spoiled though because they were already pretty well-trained so I’m really just reaping the benefits of her work.
I guess what I’m saying is, give them a chance. I know dogs that jump all over you are annoying as fuck but usually once they know you they calm down and leave you alone.
It would be nice if client apps allowed URL rewriting. I’m on iOS and I doubt Apple will make system-wide URL rewriting possible (ignoring jailbreaking).
Maybe so, but I don’t expect any OS vendor to tell me every tiny of detail of how they manage their hardware/performance (especially on consumer devices known for simplicity).
I raise this question because as a programmer that’s how I interpret your logic.
It makes me think you want every single little switch in the OS to be there for users and personally, I’m very much against this. I want the OS to take care of the little things and spend my time using it rather than configuring it.
I remember in the olden days I switched from Windows to Mac OS X and found myself bored because I didn’t have to maintain the Registry, defragment the hard drive, etc. In my mind Apple makes the opinionated software and Windows is configuration hell.
Is that what happened? I don’t remember them hiding anything. I just remember that yes, the OS did slow down to accommodate the shitty battery. Honestly it never seemed like a shady thing to do to me.
Agreed. If the batteries were faulty to begin with (as I’ve seen mentioned in the comments here) then I’d argue Apple is at fault.
As far as the batteries simply being worn out I know that macOS has shown the battery health for some time, on iOS I don’t recall if that was available pre-lawsuit. If that information wasn’t readily available to the user then yes, Apple would be at fault here as well.
What are you talking about? The consumer can choose another platform if it’s such a problem.
I hate Windows. You know what I don’t do? I don’t continue buying it, find something I can’t change about it (hell, let’s say the Registry) then turn around and complain I don’t have “choice” or “freedom.”
Apple should have been transparent about the changes
I can neither agree nor disagree. The change didn’t bother me in the slightest so I can’t really speak to that.
Apple (and frankly all smartphone manufacturers imo) should make it easy to simply replace the battery, and 3. making it easy shouldn’t mean bringing it to their store or sending it in for a replacement.
Again, this doesn’t bother me. At most you’re losing 2-3 days of device use by sending it in for repair and receiving it back. I’ve done that before. I’ve also done it in-store and it took like an hour.
If this is important to you, buy a phone with a removable battery. None of this bothers me personally.
It just seems so petty that you’re buying a phone without a removable battery and then crying about how hard it is to replace it. What more do you want? What do they need to do, drive to your house and immediately hand you a brand new replacement?
We’re talking about a battery that is critically low and/or is failing. Who’s expecting their phone to operate at full capacity under such circumstances?
The fact that the phone is trying to stay powered on for longer (albeit with degraded performance) keeps access to emergency services more readily available, access to critical apps, etc. Where’s the benefit of operating at 100% if you’re only doing so for a limited amount of time?
It feels like people just can’t be bothered to either charge their battery or replace it if it’s bad.
I have to disagree on Apple’s motive. Going on the assumption they’re greedy:
It would make more sense for the device to simply fail (shut off) when the battery can’t hold a stable charge (prompting users to upgrade)
One of their primary metrics in marketing is battery life, so it makes sense to slow the OS to meet that target as closely as possible (even when a component is failing) as often as possible (by not simply dying)
