Ik woon en werk in een van de 7 Emiraten; Ras-al-Khaimah. Dus, wil je weten hoe het echt zit in Dubai enzo? Dan kan ik daar op basis van ervaring iets over zeggen.
@ClassifiedPancake Also very true. People have no objection against living in the walled garden, as long as everything is there. The Wi-Fi in our house still runs on airport extremes without any issues, and close to 0 installation hassle.
@th3dogcow thanks for the question, this was not meant to ask for help. I know it’s a commodity. I still think there’s a huge base of Apple fans that would be delighted if Apple would make a good printer with calibrated colours, that would connect to your computer as easy as your Apple Watch connects to your iPhone.
@fourish Apple created the Apple Vision Pro for roughly four thousand euro’s. At best 1 million people were waiting for this inspiring device.
They could make a really good printer for €500. About 50 million people would be really interested just to get rid of the never-ending hassle.
A revenue of €25 billion euros in about three years would be easily achievable. Apparently, having your own ‘next big thing’ was more important for Apples decision makers.
@BombOmOm I’m struggling big time with Epson. Completely unpredictable. Works like a dream for a month or two, and then it will take hours to get it working again.
Point being, the iPhone was a reinvention of stuff that was already there. I’d like Apple to reinvent printing.
@Ghostalmedia I do have CarPlay.
[ off topic ] Apart from that, there’s something else Apple has to fix before diving into AI.
As long as I’ve used MacBook Pro’s (had three of them) I get electroshocks if I’m touching the keyboard while working with bare feet. And I don’t mean a ‘vibration’, but a real shock, even if the MacBook Pro isn’t connected to a wall socket.
Reported it several times and for years to Apple Support; nobody cares.
@Ghostalmedia Siri, specifically in the non-English speaking world, has such an unbelievably bad rap that I really think it’s not going to recover. Apple doesn’t need AI, it needs a bunch of clever If-Then rules. For example, my daugther has a quite familiar name with a diacritical sign on it. I had to correct that 12,312 times before that went OK automatically.
Every day if I hop in my car, I have to switch off the music and start the podcast. How hard is it to learn my habits?
@bici @apple_enthusiast not to mention Apple Classical. Reinforcing all prejudices Europeans might have against American companies and classical music. I know these are prejudices but Apple really didn’t get, and doesn’t get classical music categorisation. This issue is dragging on for 20 years now.
@TORFdot0 @Reverendender i’m getting a bit sick and tired of this nagging about 30% cut that Apple takes. Every experienced entrepreneur knows that 30% for all the invoicing misery, part of the customer care, doing the legal affairs around software in 181 countries, and of course putting it in a display/shop that has a billion views per year, is a reasonable deal.
@Rexios @Earthwormjim91 a simple Huawei does 66. Yes. It matters.
@Bobicus @tst123 same here. I type this message, like all messages, with my thumb only. I really like having one hand free. Sooo much more efficient and relaxed. And yes, my hands are big, but not that big.
There’s that solution of not using the upper 1/3 of your screen, I know. But it’s difficult to access that option. I’m open to suggestions how to do that quickly.
And I have an iPhone 13 mini and indeed…keeping it as long as possible.
@misk better hope it’s USB-C.
I now have USB-C cable for my Mac, a lightning cable for my trackpad and a special charger for my AppleWatch. Being trapped in the most expensive eco-system means carrying around three separate cables.
The Huawei watch can be charged by placing it on top of a Huawei mobile. #NoCable
