I HATE APPLE

Keep your fscking phone in your pocket and just shoot in medium format if you’re so concerned about photo quality ffs

Are you talking to me?

Yes you, “Michael Jones,” and billions of others too

Ok.

My point, if I had one, was just to anecdotally confirm how ridiculously quick the M1 is with Apple Silicon software vs older gen machines (or maybe just how sluggish my old MBP now is). Not really about super-res at all (which might be handy for older pics, I guess).

Yeah. Bug sir seems to be built around the m1s. My intel beast takes forever to restart

oof. the funny thing here is that Mike is probably the first person who'd warn you about upscaling given his job and all, and those weddings he shoots, and his resident photographer gig.

What the fsck is calstars on about? Where do phones come into this?

if you're planning to upgrade to Big Sur, upgrade your device drivers first. could only boot in safe mode until I upgraded the software for my audio interface. it was exciting, what with needing to get work done.

Someone explain how the 12 pro has better battery life than the 12 if they have the same battery

Just reminded me that there were five different iPhone models in 2020 (four 12 + the SE). Which is a lot!

New SE is treating me fairy well so far; thanks for the advice ilx!

i just love how MacOS nags me daily to "install updates," by which it means upgrades (to Bug Sur), which i absolutely do not want. and i love how there's no simple way to stop the notifications.

Fresh installed Catalina yesterday but it wouldn’t recognize safari keychain ffs

this, to me, is classic I HATE APPLE

one of these days, they'll catch me off guard, i'll mistakenly click the wrong rectangle and the upgrade will ruin my ability to work! i can't wait!

please...please apple....remind me tomorrow.....gasp

Big sir is fine in my experience fwiw

old-school nerds impressed upon me ages ago to wait 6 months after release before i upgrade an OS and the advice stuck

NO SHIT?

Um, why can’t I get it to stop autojoining WiFi networks even when I forget them?

I think you have to go in when connected and tell it to not autojoin that network before you forget it.

Joined Wi-Fi Network “Fubar”
This network is found at a new location

I have Auto-Join Hotspot at Never
And
Ask to Join Networks at Ask

Then I forget and it rejoins anyway at new location

Maybe Reset Network Settings but that seems extreme

Piece of shit OS, go fucking die

YEAH I MEANT TO SAY “DUCKING” THERE GO F Y

I'm trying to figure out whether or not I need to do a full or partial erase of my iPhone to deal with what looks like some malware that surfaced overnight

So far it's just put a ton of stuff on the phone's calendar for the next few days - with shit like "your phone may be infected!" Nothing else.

For now I have it on Airplane Mode and turned off while I figure out WTF to do, as it seems like in-person help isn't available until Monday at the soonest

(And I changed several passwords and disconnected a number of things, just in case.)

Update - Apple Support chat bro sorted all this out with me.

Calendar spam is a pain in the ass - sounds like that what it was?

So it seems. I'm hoping that's ALL it was.

I gave the Apple support guy a glowing survey response, he was incredibly knowledgeable and patient.

Curious about leather phone cases - are the cows killed just for the leather or is their skin used as a by product when theyr’e killed for meat?

TURN IT UP FUCK IT UP

Waiting for Libraries

i'm about to make my mac mini m1 (which RULES) 40% better one with 1 crazy trick

it's the bottom part, for $80, and it adds the things it should had in the first place, in the front so you don't have to be a jackass scraping up behind your desk to plug-in a goddamn headphone

prime reason for purchase is to fix the stupid SD omission. i mean, i can get a dongle, but fuck yoooooooou apple, you used to be the thing that was good for people doing stuff

in fairness, how often are people still using flash cards and usb drives these days?

anyone with a camera uses an SD card

yeah. it's just annoying and kind of signals a shift away from a certain crowd. i wish they'd make an extension of their products that just put all the ports that everyone wants on the side.

I fucking hate Apple for so many reasons tonight piece of shit new M1 Mac and Adobe and bullshit reading of how full the disk is and USB dongles and disks telling me off for not ejecting them properly because presumably the dongle moved a millimetre and I can't log out because I have to wait for thousands of things to empty from the trash so I end up aborting that process like so many other things and all I want to fucking do is get the photos off my wife's full iPhone but the worst of it all was when her stupid 5kg old MacBook slid off the bed and on to my bare toes and Jesus it hurts.

i can see the argument for dropping ports from a mac mini of all their machines. it's supposed to be small, and if you need the ports then connecting a dongle is less hassle on a non-portable.

my port complaint right now is that they put the two usb-c ports on the m1 macbook air on the same side. two is fine! but put them on either side! i assume this means they only need one usb controller, so it saves space/money etc. but the old macbook air managed usb-a ports on both sides.

Is now the right time for somebody (the lovely Emma B) to upgrade to an M1 laptop? Just basic officey stuff, no real heavy lifting.
