also no traditional USB and no MagSafe.
My next laptop will be a non-Apple one.
(luckily my McBook Air serves me well, recently extended its lifespan with new battery)
“Shoving it down your throat” would mean that you had no choice but to install it. You do have a choice. Just ignore the red dot. It’s not that hard.
Although why you’d want to is beyond me. We’ve been saying this here since iOS was a thing. People didn’t want to go from 6 to 7, or 7 to 8, and now 11 to 12. And yet, here we all are.
In case you really do not understand please google 'disable ios update notifications' (note the hit count), or alike.
(you must have limited experience in iOS despite of your long time exposure)
Do you want to suppress my perception?
The tone of the answer was in tune of the reply, if one was thorny, the other too. You may choose to see that the other user was intentionally ignoring common knowledge to pick condescending tone, but you chose not to.
You should not be arbitrarily partial.
Thanks!
Agreed about the 4s.
I expected having the same form factors with less borders for a bigger screen. There was quite a potential in that (edge to edge screen might been exciting the coolness chasers as well). Shame did not happen.
I don't get it.
Do you suggest that Google or big players make things better than anyone else?
Or other way around, small startups cannot make good products?
I believe if it was so then only companies starting with 1000+ people could do anything useful, small startups were doomed to fail, also big player could never do wrong.
Sounds a bit simplistic and contrary to countless examples from life.
In the specific space of machine learning in life-critical applications, I generally prefer product from established companies with reputation to sub-1000 startups.
The incentives to cut corners and go to market are much higher for small startups with short runways. I don't want corners cut when lives are on the line.
"I don't want corners cut when lives are on the line"
...still not sure if you are talking about the (heavily) cost optimising conglomerates or not....if we agree to constrain the topic to finances leaving out innovative ideas, ethics, integrity, trustworthiness, etc. where conglomerates may be loose with standards.
Also do you know how Apple and Google started? (I hoped the suggestion will get through without stating the obvious, but it did not)
"Nobody even really sells desktop PCs anymore except custom gaming rigs and low-power kiosk boxes."
I believe you should embrace the novelty concept called 'work' sometime. Then you may see some 'niche' application of PCs.
Mobile devices can, yes, be sold in bigger numbers, may produce higher profit, many trivial applications like browsing for news and sharing our newest and greatest experiences by tweets and photos do not require, luckily, a desktop anymore and so these paramount usages could been shifted to the only important platform of mobile devices, yet the second grade activities of design, manufacturing, academia and so still rely on the archaic concept of desktop computers and they keep alive this dying artefact. Even traitor mobile developers (all of them, the fools!) dare to use desktop computers still instead of solely relying on mobile phones. But not long, soon the last aircraft engineer or corporate accountant will sell their desks and throw away the last of the keyboards moving to the only necessary platform of mobiles so the PC can go extinct finally!
"the doctors bigger concern may be insurance fraud"
Less serious but immediate is the bad publicity of the fact that they aggressively sue unsatisfied patients.
I may think twice going to such a person instead of other alternatives.
