Incredibly useless. It is obvious that Apple doesn't have UI/UX designers over 40. Increasing the font size doesn't effect everything and breaks too many things. For example, you can't change the size of the time in the

They make aftermarket tips that are a bit smaller. Still to big for my ears so I switched to the newer "cuff" style and am reasonably happy with them except when I want noise-cancelling.

How are we to take arguments for teen literacy seriously when they ubiquitously use "screens" as a pejorative? I had a 12 year old nephew ask me why I was reading while on vacation. I sent him a link to this clip: https:/&#x

I found "aggressive" was too much (which if you look at the custom option, sets the scoring to 4). I am running with scoring = 5 on the worst account and it misflags some emails - ironically it tends to misflag emails that are com

The majority of mine are changeable, but the process is typically convoluted. The two that I have run into so far that I can't change are OpenRouter and Ecobee.

I recently switched over 6 gmail accounts (both personal and business) from gmail to fastmail. I have been suddenly bombarded with a mountain of spam that the goog must have been catching. It doesn't seem like my constant flagging is d

Here's a view for "clean:" 1. Every chat should have a context used/remaining measurement so you know when you have to ditch the current chat for a fresh one. 2. Every chat should analyze and categorizes each element of

>Because it looks better and is a guide to communication. Personally, I think em-dashes (when in a font that shows the damn difference) look exaggerated and silly. They certainly don't provide any important guidance to its meaning t

----------------------------------------- huh? Oh - you meant iOS. I don't see a need to differentiate dashes there either...

by anonthrownaway 2mo ago
Wrong analogy. Why should I bother to differentiate between the length of a dash when the vast majority of readers don't have a clue what it means (and don't need it to determine meaning).

by anonthrownaway 2mo ago
Funny - the ChatGPT app on mac uses a font that doesn't differentiate between any dash. I use dashes in place of commas, semicolons, colons, and brackets all the time - I just use the standard keyboard dash. Why the heck should I bothe

/agree (and wondering why this angle of criticism isn't being constantly brought into all discussions of the Siri fail) Siri isn't lame because of the lack of frontier LLM. Siri is a massive failure of simply coding it to do

>The only difference is that the menus, dialogs, file pickers, keyboard shortcuts, and windowing all use native macOS Cocoa APIs. Why would I want native macOS dialogs where the save as dialog can only show 32 characters on the screen at

Exactly - they do not GAF because there is no worthy competitor. No one else has a (semi) functional ecosystem...

by anonthrownaway 5mo ago
I know :( I use all 3 for different reasons, but Macbooks are my daily driver because I want an ecosystem. Too bad there are so many ecosystem fails. I want to believe, but this $4T megacorp can't figure out table stakes.

Amazing HW. SW that is stunningly bad. My example that makes me want to divest myself from my all-in on Apple's ecosystem: Native save as dialog box with a filename text box that shows (at most) 32 characters on the screen at once. Ev
