That’s more terrible than great.
They didn’t call Alexander the Great that because he was a good dude. “Great” doesn’t inherently mean beneficial. The iPhone changed the world. As did Apple stealing their concept for a GUI and cursor from PARC and running with it.
ARM is its own thing.
Sure, but not every ARM processor is the M-series. The M-series proving the capacity of running a desktop OS on ARM in a meaningful way was important.
As someone who is not a musician - crushing all those instruments into one crazy thin form factor may allow me to play around with music but I’d never claim to be a musician
Sure. Although I wouldn’t say someone who creates music entirely on an iPad can’t be a musician.
This is similar to other forms of art. I’ve played around with visual arts on the iPad in ways I otherwise never would, but I wouldn’t call myself an artist. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t artists whose entire medium is iPad.
I was so frustrated by the controversy over that introduction. I thought it was a great way to represent how much the device can do in such a thin form factor. If I were more conspiracy-minded, I would think Apple created the controversy themselves for extra attention. It just seemed so ridiculous.
People got pissy because, in an effort to show all the things the new iPad Pro can do in an insanely thin form factor, Apple made an advertisement in which a bunch of paint cans and musical instruments and books and other stuff were crushed by a giant hydraulic press, and when it rises up, we’re left with a crazy thin iPad.
I thought it was creative. And the new iPad Pro is WILDLY thin. Discounting the camera bump it’s the thinnest device Apple has ever made, thinner even than the iPod Nano.
But the internet got all butthurt because it was disrespectful to art and music or something. They thought the ad was saying we don’t NEED paint or instruments anymore. But obviously the point of the ad was that all of that stuff is squeezed into this device, not that we can destroy everything else.
You know how the internet is. Someone will always be mad about something.
Edit: For the record, I’m a musician myself. I’ve sung with a professional orchestra for fifteen years. I’ve played violin (albeit not very well) for most of my life. And I use an iPad for my sheet music. Before anyone tries to tell me that I just don’t get it because I’m not in the offended demographic.
The first woman in space was a lesbian and I wouldn’t want it any other way.
No, the first American woman in space was a lesbian.
Valentina Tereshkova, who beat Sally Ride to space by twenty years and two days, isn’t a lesbian (as far as we know). She’s been married twice, both times to men.
Leo is a pedophile. He won’t openly date a child but he will go as low as he possibly can without going to.jail
Leo’s behavior isn’t very socially acceptable, but he isn’t a pedophile.
His explanation is that he doesn’t have any interest in starting a family or having children, and he thinks that the drive to do so for women kicks in in the mid-to-late twenties. Women he dates know this going in, they know it’s never going to go anywhere real, they know there’s an end date. They get to participate in his lifestyle, they get to meet a bunch of important people, etc, in exchange for a sexual relationship with a very wealthy, attractive man.
They’re young, but they’re adults capable of making decisions for themselves. Maybe some will regret it later, others won’t. But regardless, it’s a mutual agreement between adults.
Gross? Creepy? Yeah, especially the older he gets. Sexist? Oh absolutely. 100%. Pedophilic? No.
Edit: fixed a formatting typo
Apple? The iPhone was kind of a big deal. It wasn’t completely original, but nothing ever is. It made the smartphone worthwhile for the average consumer in a way that Palm and BlackBerry and others simply didn’t, and directly led to the mobile ecosystem we have now.
Obviously there were plenty of players in the space but Apple had right combination of features and potential market due to the popularity of the iPod.
Edit: Oh, also the M-series processor. That’s pretty great.
And yet they turned down having thumbnails for seeking because it would be too resource intensive. 😐
Magnificent. Top tier joke. 😂
I’ve got this bad boy. Has a nice big battery in it, can last a few nights without being charged.
It’s not a fan, but the white noise is really good and it has lots of sound options. Highly recommended.
My three monitor set up is two landscape monitors on the sides of one glorious portrait monitor for my code.
I can confirm it will not. All it will do is leak a bit and then you spend years trying to figure out which specific spice has a bit of food coloring on the bottom because every now and then you find a green circle on the counter.
Money on Zuck been making his own version of TikTok on Facebook.
That’s just Reels, already on Facebook and Instagram.
Here’s the thing. You said a “chimpanzee is a monkey.”
Is it in the same infraorder? Yes. No one’s arguing that.
As someone who is a scientist who studies monkeys, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls chimpanzees monkeys. If you want to be “specific” like you said, then you shouldn’t either. They’re not the same thing.
If you’re saying “monkey infraorder” you’re referring to the taxonomic grouping of Simiiformes, which includes things from lemurs to librarians to humans.
So your reasoning for calling a chimpanzee a monkey is because random people “call the monkey-shaped ones monkeys?” Let’s get raccoons and koalas in there, then, too.
Also, calling someone a jackdaw or a crow? It’s not one or the other, that’s not how taxonomy works. They’re both. A chimpanzee is a chimpanzee and a member of the monkey infraorder. But that’s not what you said. You said a chimpanzee is a monkey, which is not true unless you’re okay with calling all members of the monkey infraorder monkeys, which means you’d call librarians, humans, and other apes monkeys, too. Which you said you don’t.
It’s okay to just admit you’re wrong, you know?
Well of course not. It’s a feature of the Castellano accent in Spain.
Give me more video inputs
I recommend a receiver. Then you only need one video input on the TV (and as long as it has ARC or eARC, if you DO have additional inputs on the TV their sound can still come through the receiver).
All they’d need to do is generate thumbnails for every period on video load. Make that period adjustable. Might take a few extra seconds to load a video. Make it off by default if they’re worried about the performance hit.
There are other desktop video players that make this work.
