    Comment by 'amoulton' in 'How I feel about the new iPhone X'

    Better to be locked down and have to pay for apps than to be tracked by the NSA, different strokes for different folks I guess.

    Comment by 'amoulton' in 'How I feel about the new iPhone X'

    Let me know when Android phone processors can achieve benchmarks that are even half of what the A11 does.

    Hypothetically speaking, if you had/have a child would you let him/her with a male childcare assist?

    Men are more likely to be demonized for doing something bad. A woman targets a male over 14 and it's considered a win for the boy.

    UPDATE: 32TB of Windows source code and betas have NOT been leaked

    But would they still be able to sell the government all it's user's data if the source code was known?

    Going to start selling candies in school. Tips?

    The vending companies might have exclusive contracts with the *schools*, but you can't just sue somebody for honing in on your territory. If anything they'll pressure the school into punishing the student.

    Nintendo stops offering repairs for original 3DS

    Capitalism is human nature. Even in communist dictatorships, free markets emerge. auto And parents who only have $100 to spend on a console for their kids can go straight to hell

    [Headphone jack] What's with all the apple hate?

    Several companies made smartphones with downloadable apps before Apple, but it's largely irrelevant until you set the pace with a product for the masses.

    [Headphone jack] What's with all the apple hate?

    Their hubris to remove the headphone jack is based on the company's values and their vital role in shaping computing over the past several decades. auto They're just paying me in constant security updates for my aging hardware. I'm living the dream.

    [Headphone jack] What's with all the apple hate?

    I mean, it's about the headphone jack Apple removed, but more broadly, the reasons Apple makes the choices it does. My main point is that they have a set of corporate values to maintain a quality user experience, and it overwhelmingly works. They're not out to squeeze every dollar they can out...

    [Headphone jack] What's with all the apple hate?

    Man, I could not possibly love my iPhone 6S any more than I already do. It isn't constantly losing apps to OS fragmentation, I'm not getting mysterious ads in my notification bar from shitty apps, I know my data is secure, and I don't have to worry about exploding batteries. Frankly, I don't...

    [Headphone jack] What's with all the apple hate?

    I don't know man. I mean the port has more functionality and versatility, but I just can't get over the hollow connector. I have serious doubts about it's long term durability.

    [Headphone jack] What's with all the apple hate?

    Oh my god. Don't even get me started on the rescinded advertised features on Android. Let's focus on the misguided hate directed at the most valuable computer company on the planet. Added features with a software update. Oh, the horror. auto Sure they are. They're also quite particular.

    [Headphone jack] What's with all the apple hate?

    I'm saying I don't take time out of my day to quibble over cosmetic differences. Having changeable themes and movable widgets takes a toll on the processing resources available. It's like my vape. I could spend a lot of time and money getting fancy batteries with adjustable voltage and...

    [Headphone jack] What's with all the apple hate?

    Ehh, anybody who uses the word "normies" and desperately requires Android levels of control on their phones is somewhere on the spectrum.

    Yes it's designed for the laymen, not for the autistic outliers who need pandora's play button on their home screen or else they'll RREEEEEEEE

    [Headphone jack] What's with all the apple hate?

    1. Google Play lets adware and malware into the App Store. It's not as thorough of a vetting process. 2. Linux is very stable and very secure, and for a person willing to compromise on software availability it's a fine option. 3. Everyone has skeletons. I'd like people not to know how many nudes...

    [Headphone jack] What's with all the apple hate?

    I guess that's fair. Nothing is more secure than my non-internet connected Gameboy from the 90's. It's a balance between obscurity and software availability. If I was typing documents that required a high-level clearance but never needed to be checked for grammar, I might pick Linux too, but I...

    [Headphone jack] What's with all the apple hate?

    Tim Cook Apple is unfortunately not the same as Steve Jobs Apple. Steve Jobs wouldn't have put out a $300 art book but they're still overwhelmingly molded by his vision. 1. iOS as it comes out of the box only runs apps from the app store, which unlike the Google Play store, is thoroughly...

    [Headphone jack] What's with all the apple hate?

    I have a 11" and 13" MacBook Air, a Dell Studio XPS 8100 (windows 10), iPhone 6S, an iPad Mini retina, and countless Androids. I use iOS most frequently because it's the most secure and the most consistent experience. If I only had an iPhone I'm not sure I'd even know what Finder was...
