I HATE APPLE

Also celebrities who complain about paparazzi harassing them usually get laughed down, and that's been going on for decades.

these women did not consent to have the general public see them naked. this whole thing is unbelievably gross and it's been really demoralizing to see men who are ostensibly feminist allies treat this so lightly.

really unbelievably gross

like you cant believe it

the only thing that shocks me about this little episode is that whoever possessed these photos didn't make bank out of it

although maybe all of this is part of a longer game being played

saw some thing abt people getting bitcoin donations for posting the noods to 4chan, all the best internet stuff in one place

this is unfortunate for the people involved obviously but I'm surprised that the fbi is 'investigating'. will they do that if this happens to a non famous person? I suppose you could say this negatively impacts these people's careers but...does it, these days? I'm not so sure.

also surprised this isn't just a huge promotion for Sex Tape

The "revenge porn" phenomenon, which does affect non-famous people, is an even more disturbing issue. IDK whether the FBI gets involved or not but there have been lawsuits and legislative attempts to deal with it.

fbi prob mostly concerned with "hacking" tbh

ios8 is running like shit on my iphone5

After reading this I'll be definitely be giving it a miss on my 4S

http://arstechnica.com/apple/2014/09/ios-8-on-the-iphone-4s-performance-isnt-the-only-problem/

Am I crazy if I just stop updating apps too now? I feel like it's just showing signs of getting annoyingly sluggish and I'd rather not risk anything that could make it worse until I finally decide to get a new handset.

avoiding app updates probably is a bit paranoid, you'll get better stability improvements by deleting stuff if you're below like a gig of free storage on your phone

yeah, being really low on space seems to still be performance death on iOS/OS X

I've got a 64GB one and have 17GB free. It's not really slow, but it's not as fast as it was, and I can only assume that apps making greater demands of it are the reason. If there's some other trick, do let me know.

fwiw I didn't intend to, but I ended up completely wiping when installing iOS 8 and then restoring my settings from a backup and it seemed to make a reasonable difference in performance

then again, who knows

this happened to me too, when I installed iOS 7. i get the feeling their upgrade procedure is less efficient than restoring from backup.

iOS 8 quite underwhelming so far

also LOL @ emoji button

whats it got is there any point

afaict not much!

emoji button sounds good

double-tap menu has recent contacts across the top, you can send audio messages, siri has integrated shazam, you can have family members share app purchases, it will eventually ask you if you want to let diff apps do shit in the background (it detects lots of background activity and sends you to settings if you want)
battery usage by app is also available, letting you know what's draining things

SwiftKey keyboard looking pretty good

1password integrated into safari is a very welcome addition (also i think it's free for ios now?)

you can send audio messages

My dad had a pager in the 80s that looked like the talkee part of a walkee-talkee. His customers could call the number and say their message. In a few moments, that thing would go off and you'd hear this garbled CB voice come shredding out of it.

No, it's great that we've gone back to those halcyon days.

*annoys all of you*

A commie hacker friend of mine is thinking about getting a smartphone finally. I jokingly mentioned how grateful I am that Tim Cook allows me to install custom keyboards now but then halfway through realized it wasn't a joke. :/

iOS 8 won't install on my Air because it needs 7gb space free. On a device they ship with 12gb free that's definitely I Hate Apple territory.

i have 2gb+ on my 4s showing up as "other" which, a quick google tells me, is actually ios8 downloaded on to my free space even though i didn't download it, permit it, and all signs point to me not installing it on a 4s. That's also definitely I Hate Apple territory.

i mean, seriously, where the fk do these people get off? taking up 25% of the free space on a device that i own and paid a pretty high price for without my consent.

If you connect it to a computer it takes a lot less space iirc

in that case, thank you apple!

2GB pretty big for a U2 album

I always have 4-5 GB allocated to some mysterious "other"

dont even try to confess to that shit

yeah i def recommend updating via USB rather than via wifi (much smaller!)

really good question imo

wonder if the watch cld sense that somehow

An example of how OS X baffles me these days. I turned on my Mac, and some messages were popping up asking me to log back into iCloud (I'd recently changed my password). I was on the phone at the time and just closed the windows thinking "I don't want to deal with this now". I come back to it later, open the Messages app to continue a text conversation I was having on my phone to a new contact and of course I'm not logged in. Is there anywhere in that window to log in? No. If it was a conversation with an existing contact I could at least fairly intuitively start typing a message in the window, hit return and then get prompted to log in. But because it's a contact I've not established in the desktop version of the Messages app, I'm left dangling. Turns out I have to go to Preferences – Accounts, the check a checkbox called "Enable this account". That's just the kind of crappy UI people used to take the piss out of Windows for.

you're texting on your computer, of course it's going to be messy! when you fly to close to the sun you get burned, iirc

system-wide standard iCloud auth widget would be the preferred way to do it, in addition to the service that runs in the background that throws up the annoying prompts

Yeah, at one point I thought: "There must be a system-wide thing for iCloud – I know: I'll go up to the Apple menu and see if it's there. Nope. Just 'the other sort of login'.

yeah iMessage is great while it is working and staying in sync, and infuriating the times that it's not
