Considering practically every smartphone to this day is derivative of the 2007 glass slab hardware design (and software UX), I'd say they were on to something even if it didn't launch with the App Store immediately.

What they offer is an annual subscription on a monthly fee, which is a pretty deceptive offer

Even before that, the first iPhone simply not having the brand name of the carrier plastered on the front like every other cell phone felt so nice.

This sounds like some kind of conflict with your privacy settings

Haptic feedback touchpad is vastly superior to the button style. Less force required makes it easier to move your finger while the "button" is pressed. Most higher end laptops use it as the standard touchpad these days. MacOS is also well optimized for touchpads to the point that the traditional mouse experience is somewhat degraded. The smoothness and interactivity of the animations in response to touchpad gestures give a powerful placebo effect for how good the hardware is.

Acceleration is pointless because of the hidden Mini Turbo stat

Yeah, whatever pretenses gamergate started with, they got brushed aside pretty quickly in favor of right wing outrage politics. The beginning issue (games journalism being a big club of hollywood wanabes supported by corporate bootlicking) was quickly turned into an angry mob of misogyny and anti-intellectualism.

Around 2015-16 the same stategy was deployed to mainstream politics, which is when I feel internet culture truly died for good. Social media went from a pastime to an engine that fueled real world events.

Yeah, 60fps in Slay the Spire 2 and Risk of Rain is very feasible with just about anything.

I'm surprised I haven't seen a generic "turn a raspi into carplay" firmware or anything of that sort.

Is privacy a concern if the monitoring is locally processed? Apple claims it is.

I say it's amazing how far we've progressed. We could've prevented an entire Seinfeld episode if cameras could warn the user of the presence of nudity in their photos.

They had to have known that free options like Jellyfin were on their tails and pivoted to a revenue model that doesn't rely on competing with FOSS

I imagine a lot of their users (like myself) use Plex because it was the best option 10 years ago and premium was $40 during sales

I personally just have a discord with myself as the only member. With their webhooks API you can even automate the PC side.

It's the unofficial "where's my mouse pointer" macro

At least one DE I've used (MacOS? KDE?) even had it as an official macro that would make the pointer 10x bigger when you shook it
