Frankly, just switch the stock keyboard. It's 2026, this should be working on that ancient Egyptian joke of an OS.
If not, Apple users deserve this kind of behaviour where the user willingly signs off on their freedom

This new keyboard is revolutionary. It's not just an improvement in the way you will type — it's an entirely new way of expressing yourself. Works better with an em-dash to make it feel more like today's default ChatGPT style.
Do robots wear turtlenecks?
Dunno, but they surely are weighted a lot to sound like some people who do.
Perhaps it's just a natural case of convergent evolution when the fitness function is bullshit at scale.

> They are mediocre at best, always have been. Come on. OSX was a paradigm shift in desktop usability and intuitive design. My 85 year old grandpa asked me about 20 years ago how he should go about learning how to use computers. We were a windows family at home but I was using Macs in school and OSX was relatively new and I thought it blew Windows out of the water as far as usability. Didn’t take long for my grandpa…
So what I’m reading, is they are able to dumb-down the design to fit less tech savvy people. When tailoring for one audience you usually do tale away something from other audiences.
I understand your point and have a long list of bitter grievances against Apple, but OS X triggered a large influx of geeks to the Mac world. It was a Unix that just worked, and there were all kinds of important ways that appealed to key tech people.

I'm curious why my experience with Windows 11 is so different from what I regularly read. It was some years ago now, so I don't remember exactly what configuration steps I went through, but presumably I turned off ads when I first installed. And so, I don't get ads. I don't recall ever seeing an ad embedded in Windows. Are people talking about Edge (which I don't use) or inside the Microsoft Store (which I very rarel…
Your Windows 11 experience strongly, strongly depends on where you are. Are you inside the EU? 90% of the crap people complain about is simply illegal and you don't see any of it.
I'm in Canada. I do have the pro version though; maybe that makes a difference.

I'm in the US, I never experience any of the issues people complain about. Just checked and I don't have the setting disabled that that one guy talked about up thread. But I do have all notifications off. Maybe that is why?

I might have a bridge to sell you. What says a lot is that you had to dredge up some up to 7 years old posts on reddit, on which replies still overwhelmingly call the idea silly. This smells like an attempt to manufacture consent, but it'd be pretty low effort for even that. As a rule, if something sounds stupid to you, it will probably be just as silly to most people you should give a damn about. Certainly don't let…
I may have something to teach you about indicators, averages, and population samples/biases. We're not debating majority opinion here. Just that people exist who have that bias / perception and what it leads to. People exist that judge and exclude based on if you have have an Android. Im sure the reverse exits too. Im also sure the former is more common than the later. But I have no idea how large that population is.…
> I may have something to teach you about indicators, averages, and population samples/biases.
You didn't sample. You filtered. You used a search engine to zero in on a couple dozen in a population of 350 million, then suggest to me that the mere fact that there's at least some means it's an opinion held by enough people to matter, when in fact it's probably not - even going by the references you selected yourself.
That you throw around some statistics lingo after all that is hysterically funny to me.
Scientific rigor never was the bar to convincing me, but since you brought it up yourself, be my guest.
> People exist that judge and exclude based on if you have have an Android.
We're not debating whether such people exist, we're interested in what the experience of someone using an Android phone is likely to be. Remember that an original claim was "Which means if your an Android user in a relatively average social group: [the following will happen]"
This conversation is very much about average/majority opinion and has been from the beginning. I might let you weaken that to "an android user is likely to have at least occasional bad experiences in some social groups" - if you're willing to at least provide evidence to support that much.
After all, what could be your purpose in bringing something up that has no relevance to almost anyone? You'd just be wasting both of our time.

I have autocorrext turned off on my keyboard and typed this without any corrections. These sre the issues i've faced with the stock keyboard: - accidental periods when typing URLs in Safari - key target inaccuracy (though turning off swipe-to-tect gas ikproved this a little, though not enough) - key latnecy which causes letters innsome words to get swapped or extra unwated letters to appear (this could be a me-gettin…
I don't know if you experience any of these: - Clicks on buttons and links not registering, and needing to click multiple times, sometime to no effect. - Safari not suggesting the website you visit multiple time a day, and points you a random website you have never visited before.
Yes to both. That and Safari reloading the page you were just on (from the cache, sometimes) if it can't reach a URL
Re: Fix the iOS keyboard before the timer hits zero or I'm switching back to Android
#800I had to use an iphone for 3 years when I moved because my Android didn't get good reception at my new house. I loathed every single moment of it solely because the typing experience was a hostile and counterintuitive nightmare.
