  • Microsoft unveils new Surface laptops, AI-powered Windows Copilot

    macxpress said:
    Microsoft Surfaces are some of the biggest pieces of shit you could ever buy, including the Surface Pros which are way overpriced. 
    i mean if you are  a mac user, you would say that about any windows laptop :)
    have you ever used a surface laptop? the one piece laptop not the tablet with the attached keyboard

    we have many surface laptops at work, we do both macs and windows
    and never had an issue with any of surfaces
    i am actually writing this on a surface laptop 3 i have had for 3 years, zero issues
    i would say the only issue with them is the chargers go bad with that proprietary plug
    but we also replace those damn usb-c cables for macbooks on a regular basis when people twist them around the chargers
    so i would say excluding power supplies, there is zero difference in reliability

  • Spotify may finally join Apple Music's lossless audio party two years late

    lossless is useles on iphones unless you have a 3.5mm out
    because the bluetooth codecs supported on iphones do not support high res audio
    so whats the point?
    no LDAC, no aptX HD etc
    maybe if you use carplay it might work, but for airpods etc, no point really

  • Early iPhone 15 tests after overheat-fixing patch don't show any performance losses

    If the reason behind the heat issues really was Instagram and Uber apps
    Don't they test these phones before mass production starts ?
    I mean Instagram is common enough that anyone testing  a phone probably has it
    Same with uber
    this wasn't some unknown app that's rarely installed 
    that is why we have quality control
    to find out these issues before the phone is produced and you have tons of negative press
    i have a lot of people at work that got it and the heat buildup was pretty common
    I'd say 40%
    Sucks even more when you just (over)paid $1200 for a phone and you have issues

  • Will Apple save us from surveillance advertising?

    first thing i do when i install any app is disable notifications and location (unless it really needs location)
    only about 5 or 6 apps on my iphone have notifications turned on
    the vast majority of apps DO NOT need notifications, although they would all love to have it turned on
    no game needs notifications
    maybe bank apps for when you use your credit/debit card
    ebay (for auctions)
    espn (for when my teams score)
    whatsapp/signal/imessage etc
    thats about it

  • New OLED iPad Pro will probably cost as much as a MacBook Pro

    Galaxy tab S8 + has a 12.4" oled screen and starts at $899 for Wi-Fi version
    and galaxy tab s8 ultra has a 14.6" oled screen and starts at $1099
    ipads are already pricier than their competitors 
    I doubt many people would buy it at laptop prices

  • Fewer iPhone owners are upgrading to iOS 17 than for the iOS 16 update

    i've learnt that lesson a long time ago
    i don't jump versions on my devices, if i get it with 15, i will update to the latest 15 and not go to 16
    already ruined 2 devices when i upgraded iOS to the next number up and the devices became unusable
    had to basically throw an ipad away that worked great the night before on the older iOS
    even browsing to a website would take like 2-3 minutes on the new one

    plus i have rarely noticed the difference between iOS versions
    ok i get a few more emojies, big whoopie

  • Apple insists 8GB unified memory equals 16GB regular RAM

    Considering the price difference between 8gb and 16g 
    why are we having this discussion?
    Just put 16gb and give up a few dollars in profits 
    considering they will be buying a lot more 16gb chips, the cost difference will be marginal at best

    If only the power button would be moved back to the top, so I don’t take screen shots from turning off the display or using volume buttons. 
    i do this on a daily basis, several times
