  • iOS 18 & macOS 15 are going to look to the past for new wallpapers

    I have a desktop pictures folder that has all of it.  I've hated the new desktops for years, Mac OS 12 had the first good default desktop in a long time, but I still like the aqua ones better, so those are what I use.

    First, a reminder that "the cloud" does not exist, it's just putting your stuff on somebody else's computer.

    Second, a reminder that Little Snitch exists, and should always be used with all Adobe products, pirated or otherwise.

  • Apple's iPad Pro designers talk about thinness and the Apple Pencil shadow

    VictorMortimerVictorMortimer
    Stupid.

    A complete waste of effort.  Everybody involved should be fired.

    (Not the shadow, that's fine, if a bit silly.  Making it thinner was beyond stupid.)

  • Apple's new diversity exec hails from Bank of America

    Came here to see the knee-jerk semi-racist and pretty-much-racist responses to anything ever posted here related to this subject. I was unsurprised to find it stacking up as expected.

    It's funny when people object to intentional efforts for diversity and inclusion as a pearl-clutching affront to "merit-based" hiring, as if merit based hiring has ever been a thing. When non-male, non-white people are excluded and steered away from a field like coding or engineering at every turn starting with early childhood, the resultant competition among the folks who make it to the point where they can even apply for the job cannot then be called winners in a merit-based system. If your competition has been repeatedly kneecapped before they ever make it to the starting line, getting to the finish line first does not make you a merit-based winner. If half your competition has never had a chance to get to the race, even as you "win," you should know that you've never actually been tested in a merit-based system.
    I was afraid I'd see nothing but racism in this thread.  Thank you for being the voice of sanity.

  • Old iPads are a staple in US homes, long after they've gone obsolete

    VictorMortimerVictorMortimer
    Sounds like the problem is people not keeping iPhones going.

    But iPads are just toys anyway, as long as they keep playing solitaire there's no need to replace them.

    I've got an original mini that's absolutely great for a couple 32-bit games that never got updated.
