Every family member I know has somehow defaulted their browser to Chrome on iOS, I think they'll survive a one time nag
A nag here, a nag there, a nag for every little thing. Soon enough the EU will require a consent pop-up to make sure users did indeed wanted to use that app every time they opened it.
The cookies pop up was the worst change, just default to rejecting non essential cookies in the EU for fucks sake.
The option to select your default browser I can get behind. Although Safari was fine when I had an iPhone.

Everything the EU has done thus far is hypothetical and academic. I don't think they ever even talked to anyone actually using these products to see if they care. The loudest voices are typically the most angry but not the most frustrated. The most frustrated just tend to give up and not complain.
By and large, I think majority of users of end-products like Facebook, IG, Chrome / Safari, etc are happy to be using a good free service in exchange for their data. But the EU doesn't care about that because they actually never talked to anyone using any those products.
Regulation should step in to for safety and exploitation (why haven't they mandated E2EE for everyone I wonder? Is it because it interferes with policing and the government accessing your data 🤔???). Spotify not being slightly less profitable because they can't use Apple's IAP for free (ridiculous, btw) is not where they should be focusing their efforts on.

very hard to disagree with that.
Maybe there are going to be some use cases for AVP or AR headsets in general, but while the headset costs that much I just don't know that the developer interest or use-cases are going to be there.
Easy for people to point at the early iPhone, but everyone already had a phone at that point. The basic use case always made sense even without dev support. It grew up with the social web too, doesn't feel like there's a moment like that for AR just yet

I don't think it's even the cost, they can get it down to iPad prices and I still don't know what the point / good usecases would be. It's useless to me.
iPhone was groundbreaking because you couldn't do those things before and the UX fundamentally altered the trajectory of technology.
The UX for VR does nothing remarkable.

Bluetooth sucks, I have never had as many issues with Bluetooth across multiple devices as I do with Windows. It just works everywhere else. I have to reinstall drivers on a weekly basis.
In fact, basic ass audio on Windows sucks
Too many UI issues to list
They make search worse with every update
They make everything worse with every update
Outlook is an abomination
Teams is an abomination
Data recovery is an abomination
Every single time Windows update they reset some shit to the (bullshit) default that I purposefully change

Tiling window managers are great for my workflow. I’m always snapping windows anyway, so having them all default to behave in that manner is just wonderful.

It's been fucking up lately.
The M1 will crush it because of the integrated SoC chip and all of the power and performance efficiencies Apple is able to achieve with MacOS with their hardware.
You're probably looking at 15 hours of battery life.

The M1 MacBook Air price war between Best Buy and Walmart is on.Now that Apple’s done selling the M1 MacBook Air, Walmart is offering the 8GB RAM, 256GB storage model for $699, which Best Buy quickly responded to by dropping its price to $649.99.@s y https://www.bestbuy.com/site/macbook-air-13-3-laptop-apple-m1-chip-8gb-memory-256gb-ssd-space-gray-space-gray/5721600.p
By DY_nasty Go To PostThinking about a pixel 8 but I genuinely don't give a fuck about a cameraIf you don't care about the camera, I think the only other differentiators for you to look at would be comfort in your hands, screen quality, and battery life. Performance is good enough on just about everything out there now. I guess bluetooth version might be a thing to be aware of (you at least want 5.0 or better for some BLE and audio codec improvements).
It's impossible to get a higher end phone without a massive camera bump and i hate it
