#242I realize this is totally off-topic, but has anyone else noticed how wide-stanced all of the presenters have been? Like your legs don’t stand that far apart normally; the announcer right now seems to literally need to constantly shift her legs to keep her standing stance so wide. I’ve noticed this a couple of other places too; is some body coach teaching the weirdest crap out in California right now?
A wide stance implies surefootedness and confidence. They are absolutely coached to appear the most certain they can when marketing/communicating statistics.
I would wager there is a coach (or several) communicating with each live presenter via an earpiece.

#243The new iPhone SE looks like a really solid phone. The only thing it doesn't really have compared to the 13 is the better camera and the larger form factor / fancier screen tech. And weirdly there doesn't seem to be much in the Android world at that price point anymore.
My iPhone SE 2020 is either hacked or it just cant handle running the latest iOS(it stumbles and stutters on various click actions). Also, the battery life is awful!. I am semi-excited about getting the SE 3 as it's the only phone with Touch ID and for me I think that's the best and safest unlocking UX especially if you ever need to open your phone in the car. Just grab it and its open ...one step vs. grab it..look a…
I have an iPhone 12 mini, and sometimes when I drag down to enter the search field, it feels like I'm waiting for an HDD to spin up (stuck for a second or two).
It's probably not a hack, but just the towering complexity of all the different software systems developed under tight deadlines.

#244Did Apple just imply that buying a faster processor from them levels the playing field for underrepresented minorities? Did anybody else hear this or am I hallucinating?

If the battery is shot then the phone will start throttling the CPU which may explain your problems. My iPhone 7 has no problems running the latest iOS.

Clearly someone thinks so. They convinced the UK Conservative party to do it a few years back. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=conservative+power+pose&t=ffab&iax... I don't think I've seen a single person who doesn't think it looks ridiculous.
Thank you. Now my coffee is on am display. LOL.

#248The pace at which apple is pumping out new silicon is astounding. It’s hard to imagine anyone competing with them pound for pound, especially in the flops per watt game. I still can’t get over the fanless MacBook pros and the battery life. I actually hope somebody is challenged enough by this to really push for competition as this level of performance asymmetry will ultimately result in further pricing asymmetry as c…
It’s all fun and games until Taiwan is invaded, what then? Back to Intel chips?
Yeah it's scary. I fear Taiwan is becoming very important to the US national security wise.

No, they include the basic tilting stand in the $1600 model. [1] If you want tilt and height adjustable, it's an extra $400. The VESA version is also available for the base price. 1: https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/mac-studio-display
I stand corrected. 1600$ for a 2014 LCD monitor remains fucking outrageous.
Nothing about this monitor is comparable to a 2014 monitor.

Why not?
In my case Face ID was a significant downgrade, even before the pandemic and masks. With Touch ID, I can reach into my pocket, place my finger on the button as I'm taking the phone out, and by the time I got the phone out it's already unlocked, played the unlock animation and is on the home screen. If the phone is on the table/etc I can just put my finger on the button and unlock it - so again by the time I actually…
Can someone explain to me why unlocking with FaceID requires you to swipe up? Pressing the power button and having my face visible seems like a good signal to let me start interacting with icons. That, to me, was the FaceID downgrade. It's still easy to unlock when you pull it out of your pocket, it's just annoying that you have to shift your grip downwards to swipe up.
(One problem with designing products in California is that they don't have public transportation, so nobody beta testing the phone is standing on a crowded subway, hanging on with one hand and trying to use their phone with the other. The SE was great for one-handed use. The subsequent phones are difficult there.)
