  • iPhone fold display when open rumored to retain a familiar aspect ratio

    LumpyTapiocaLumpyTapioca
    Just what people want.
    An iPhone that's more expensive, heavier, thicker, fussy to operate, and far more delicate.

  • Apple is planning to make enormous design changes to iOS 19 & macOS 16

    LumpyTapiocaLumpyTapioca
    I wish they would bring back the traditional macOS title bar,
    Just the traffic lights on the left, window title in the middle,
    *with a well defined place to grab it*

  • Apple's diversity efforts are 'selfish & practical' says head of developer relations

    LumpyTapiocaLumpyTapioca
    When Richard Kerris was in charge of Apple Dev Relations, they made sure that the frameworks met developer's needs,
    the API documentation was up to date, and they didn't compete with us every time an app started making a little money.
    I miss those days.

  • Apple shareholder group urges a no vote on CEO Tim Cook's $99M pay package

    He's got lots of money. I'm sure he'll get out of bed and go to work on much less, and if he didn't, get someone else. It's a big world. He'll be fine.
    People tend to think that he's "running" things at Apple. He's is directing some of the people that are running things as Apple.

    I'd much rather have Apple spend the money on 1,000 $150,000/yr. software engineers and have them work on fixing as many bugs as they can.
    For a year, no big new OS features. Just spend it reducing their technical debt like Jobs had them on Snow Leopard.
    I think Tim Cook maybe runs a few internal apps, checks mail on his phone, and wears an Apple Watch, but he's coddled and tended to.
    He doesn't really use Apple products to create anything so he either doesn't know, or doesn't care about usability or developers.

    Document every API element like they used to. Provide useful working code examples. Like they used to.
    Quit pandering just to the photogenic narcissists and fix things.
    And please make iPadOS something worth running on iPad Pro.

  • Intel to build $20 billion chip factory in Ohio

    LumpyTapiocaLumpyTapioca
    There might be 3,000 construction jobs, but not once the fab complex is up and running.
    A fab has very little to do with "electronics". It is a hazardous chemical plant and the fab itself is but a giant machine.
    Raw materials in, wafers out. And those raw materials are some of the purest, most potent chemicals available.
    As far as providing "tech" jobs, the chip design work isn't being done on-site, nor is the design of the ASML-supplied fab equipment.
    There might be a small workforce to do maintenance, but the goal of modern fab design is to have no humans inside the facility at all.

    This is Intel getting free land, free infrastructure, and taxpayer subsidized workers.
