I HATE APPLE

lol what is this trash, is this supposed to entice people to subscribe to Apple Music?

don't all of the streaming services have exclusive content now?

ugh, is that st vincent as well?

lol that's Alison Brie

lol ok, that's not as bad.

man, beck wishes he had annie clark collaborating

or maybe would if he thought about it, idk

happy w/ my apple music subscription but yeeeesh that video

I think Wright may be broken now.

I love my AirPods when they are working perfectly, which is as much as two thirds of the time

I hate the exclusive content racket. I briefly tried Tidal and its selection was so much worse than Spotify. I'm not paying for two or three different services, even if it means I never get to hear 4:44 or whatever.

But extra lol @ getting Apple Music for the new Beck album. Beck is so spent.

Kind of shocked that everyone is now fine with having long white boogers hanging out of their ears.

so if I sign up for Apple Music can I stream all the weird stuff in my library or am I just limited to whatever's on their service

iTunes Match comes with Apple Music now, so I think you're set

well yes but itunes match doesn't really work

it’s worked well for my just under 100k song collection

works pretty well for me

It was rough going for me at first, but it’s working quite well for me now. Sometimes you’ll come up with an oddball version of a song when you were expecting something else, but not too often.

how does apple music compare to spotify

No comparison. It's better in most every way, especially if you use iTunes and have an iPhone. You can ask Siri to play any song; really convenient. You can save albums right to your iTunes library and automatically download them on your phone when you're off line.

Only disadvantage is if you like playlists. More people seem to use Spotify for shared playlists.

the voice activation/siri sounds appealing since use mine in the car a lot. Is it as deep as Spotify selection wise?

Almost exactly the same library; never seen anything on Spotify that wasn't on Apple Music. And it used to be Apple Music got pretty big exclusive releases for a while (Drake, Chance, etc.), though it's been a minute since that happened

Spotify has a slight edge in the algorithmic “for you” discover playlists but Apple has the edge in the curated essentials influences etc playlists. Apple has the suggestions too but they don’t seem as deep or varied. But the curated playlists are great. Something as simple as Beatles influences and you end up with a great mix.

apple has a much higher library limit, 50k i think. Spotify is STILL 10k

apple is 100k actually

Spotify still has the 3,333 offline song limit (per device). Another thing that drove me to Apple Music.

i <3 allison brie but not enough to pay for Apple Music

me too. can’t believe spotify just left it like this.

If you have an existing iTunes library on your phone, then it's a no-brainer imo - Apple Music has everything integrated in one place, with similar ratings system and smart playlists that don't differentiate between your own music and the one you subscribe to.

That’s the bit I hated most: some things could go to iPod, some things couldn’t. Some things would disappear because of rights, some things wouldn’t. Some things deleting was fine, some things it was a Big Mistake.

Hmm haven’t encountered that, but I’ve only been on it for 4 months

i'm quite surprised at this since I've never heard anyone say anything positive about apple music.

taking holiday photos has been an absolute god damned nightmare because apple still can’t get gestures right. swipe from lock screen unless it picks up your fingerprint in which case it’s an up-swipe unless it’s snapped to horizontal in which case it’s an up-swipe from the left edge unless it can’t be fucked picking up an edge swipe as an edge swipe because it has no fucking idea what an edge is

honestly the gruber take on this is just embarrassing

"fantastic news"

All people want is a high end CPU, a bunch of memory, and expansion slots. How hard is this?

I really have no idea what the fuck they're doing with the Mac Pro

I don't think the iMac Pro is a bad product per se, but it's a clear admission that the need to design an object is getting in the way of releasing anything at all. As in there's apparently no way to shoehorn new components into the trash can model, they don't have a new case/design, and it's easier to make a fat iMac than compromise on aesthetics and just release an ugly desktop or retrofit the old design (Ive screaming "never go back" maybe)

I think they've been hemming and hawing internally about what the roadmap is as far as switching to their own processors or integrating both as a stopgap that's just resulted in releasing nothing for five years

I would guess the hardware implementation dudes have been fighting the design dudes and it's gone nowhere

they're not likely to get scooped on this but I still wish they would hurry it up

just put the iMac Pro motherboard in a metal box and graft some PCI ports on to a riser card ffs

kind of hilarious to me that stores were discounting the iMac Pro by $1,000 just a few weeks after release

it's the bizarro world where you can get a steep discount on a new machine, or buy the exact same mac pro they've been selling for years for.. $3-4k ?!

i assume yall talked about this already? lol

I'm using one of those right now and the keyboard is truly fucking awful.

just hating the iphone right now, upgrades, the company's abusive attitude. is there another phone option out there that's a little more humane? i don't need a virtual fucking wallet, i just need phone, internet, music and a company that isn't going to fuck my shit up on a regular basis. anyone who has migrated to android or whatever and is happy with it?
