I guess one man's overly dramatic is another man's laughter at the absurd. Or, perhaps you missed the "laughing so hard I'm crying" emoji? Anyway - this is exactly what Apple wanted. They knew it would make people t

It's pretty simple - we've been using rectangular screens since forever. With rectangular screens there are no compromises within our software and there are no compromises in our field of vision. Obviously, the notch stands out. I

Clearly "what's bad for you" is subjective given that there was a time when many would have said that masturbation causes self-harm. The other issue is that sin taxes just don't work. They don't stop people from par

People are complaining because screens have been fucking rectangular since forever! And this change forces klunky software compromises for no good reason. If they made a triangle of extra screen area jut out on the right, you'd get ext

It limits how many menus your apps can have or makes them draw around it. If you enable compatibility mode you'll be back to an even fatter bezel which looks like dog shit. Rationalize that away.

It's just a laptop in the same old rectangular shape, in the same old colors that is actually just catching up and there's nothing at all special about this one… Try to catch some breath. Nobody anywhere likes the notch either. Tr

Of course. But the fact that I was pointing out was that the Windows percentage is actually quite small in the grand scheme of things.

Oh, gee well I thought we were on a developer/techie forum. McDonald's is also one of the most popular restaurants. I eat there once in a while. I still run Windows boxes to play games too. And it's more like ~30% for Windows

Yet another one of these comments. When XP came out, people were switching to Linux. When Vista came out, people were switching to Linux. When 8.x came out, people were switching to Linux. When 10 came out, people were switching to

Why would I want to optimize for working on planes, trains and in meetings? That's not a good work environment. I run desktop computers and since I don't need to play video games on them, I just use the CPU graphics. However, even

It's easy to over simplify things to the point of absurdity. This is like saying that when you read "because science tells us" that you translate it to "because I believe anything that scientists say" as that is wha

Same with the Linux kernel and it's got a larger codebase than Chromium.

Market power makes it an antitrust situation and since you can't run a profitable app business without going through Apple, that certainly makes this a hostage scenario. We haven't seen the last antitrust case against them. I&#x27

Sounds like I have to go through Apple to get to anyone with some money to spend. So much freedom! I get to market my stuff to poor people and picky, principled tech users.

It's a plain analogy, any drama would be created by the reader's reaction. People also stop complaining simply because they've complained enough. It's definitely not always the case that they "get over it". Peo

Well, it's kinda like if someone made a really nice meal for you but left a booger on the top of the plate. You'd complain about that booger, right?

And if Apple doesn't provide that app, it will break after every update.

There are literally still so many comments just like that and plenty of people who simply won't buy a phone that has a notch. The comments never stopped. The screenshots showing application menus almost hitting the notch are ugly af. I

Sounds like the TERFs have a very reasonable position that doesn't involve the rest of society changing the definitions of words based on extremely questionable socially and politically motivated soft sciences.

They will take your money and if you keep giving it to them they will continue taking more and more of your freedom too.

In the US their unit share is now greater than 50%. It's too bad that they're taking all of our money and not exporting much. And for a country that loves "freedom" so much, it's also too bad that we don't make
