You can use a controller and it works great, but at this point I bet you’d rather use a larger device. It does make a lot more sense on iPads though

Their latest announcements are interesting because they say some of their privacy claims will be verifiable by independent firms (mainly when it comes to their custom built AI servers iirc). Is this actually worth something or is it just marketing fluff?
Just buy used. You get all the goodies without supporting their shitty practices, while not even having to deal with the ethics of piracy. It’s all win.
I feel like people will still be saying this in ten years (sadly)
This is what I had read about the iPhone 13 one too and I was ready to jump on the hate train, but I’m pretty pleased with mine (got it for free when I bought my phone). I’ve been using it for around six months and it’s looking the exact same as it did at the beginning
Seeing Apple admit a fail is always such a treat. Hope the replacement will be even better than the last leather case!
Will do! Thank you 🙌
I’m one of the devs, always nice to find users in the wild! 🔥
Yeah :( It sucks because I don’t think there are any alternatives, and they’re expensive too for what they are
I don’t know about the 400Mhz part but I’ve had a similar experience with my 2012 Retina MacBook Pro. I replaced the battery multiple times with an iFixit one, and since then the computer has had all kinds of problems (dying at 40% battery, randomly switching off and other similar things). I’m on my third replacement battery, so either I’m really unlucky or there’s something fishy going on
You need to verify every week, but it’s automatic as long as your computer is on during the verification
To be fair you can already do it for YouTube with uYou and AltStore, it won’t be as seamless as on Android but it’s possible :)
If it’s not in the US, I fear developers won’t take it seriously and we probably won’t get many good sideloadable apps anyway
It’s slow? If it is indeed a 2020 one it shouldn’t be slow, there might be a problem with it. I’m using an iPhone XS (2 year older phone) and even that isn’t slow.
Sure but it’s no excuse to making things worse
Typical Lemmy user lmao, come on. I feel like this is the kind of shit I used to read on 9Gag 10 years ago.
I bought the thing for programming, photo editing, graphic design, video editing and general tinkering. And indeed it’s fantastic for media consumption as well thanks to the great display and speakers.
The main reason I enjoy macOS is the third party apps. There are lots macOS only apps I absolutely love to use because of their great UI and features. Things like Transmit, Telegram for macOS, Final Cut, Screenflow, IINA, Alfred, BetterTouchTool, Parallels Desktop and Fantastical come to mind. There are alternatives to these elsewhere of course, but none come close in quality in my opinion.
I don’t even use any of Apple’s services, not even iMessage. I think lots are unreliable (or there are better third party alternatives) and I don’t like the feeling of being in a walled garden.
It’s a great investment because it holds its money really well. My old 2012 MacBook Pro can still be sold for like 400€ whereas most PC laptops of that era would be worthless by now.
Not going to defend Apple’s stupid attitude towards right to repair or any other issue. They’re FAR from perfect.
Not saying you’re wrong about the Apple logo thing when it comes to normies, but as a power user there are many reasons to love Macs. And even normies can enjoy good build and software quality, just let people enjoy their things. As long as it’s not a monopoly like iPhones are starting to become, I don’t see the problem.
Ayy, nice! I got a base 14" M1 Pro myself and it’s a blast, especially thanks to that display. The refresh rate, brightness and colors are amazing. If you’d like to stay with a single computer, I’d totally recommend upgrading to it as the performance makes a lot more games playable.
Check out the Create mod in Minecraft if you like Factorio, you will love it. It’s basically Factorio but in Minecraft. Oh and Hades should run well on your MBA as well, I’d recommend you try it if you haven’t already!
Never said I bought it for gaming. It’s my main computer I use for everything, and if I can use it for games, I will.
I also have a desktop PC I use only for gaming but I rarely turn it on, it’s annoying to switch computers and I would rather play on a laptop most of the times.
I used to love playing Infinity Blade back in the day, but it was another time and they were games built from the ground up for touch screens so it’s not really comparable
