Just wish the quality control was the same as in the Jobs era.
I don't think Steve Jobs would let a 'Your battery is under 10%', 'interruptive' notification stay this long on a phone.
If you took out a screenshot of system preferences from OS X tiger or something and compared it to today, see how easy it is to find things on that one. Even with simple things such as the wording of 'General' vs 'Appearance'.
Why not ? He was happy with the giant, interruptive volume overlay for all those years.
But I’ve never had a Dell or HP laptop come without a bezel scratch or something like that. So in my books, Apple are still a league ahead on quality, even.
Of course not! If there was dust it would immediately brick the keyboard.
- my mail will disappear. I would open a folder and see emails from 2007 at the top... wait and see he is loading them again and more are popping up.. takes few minutes to catch up with 2021.
- my contacts will not work when I start typing email. literally sometimes the do sometimes they don't
- emails that previously were formatted well, would be crashing with odd CSS issues I never seen before
- I would click email.. start reading, then it would shift to the next email.. on its own!
- I had few emails automatically disappear for good... only to find them in trash folder.
Its a disaster. A classical situation where after a system update I'm banging my head against the wall "why the heck did I do that??"
I clearly remember at the time all of the rampant speculation about the downfall of Apple and thinking it's all bullshit, that the people doing the real work are still there and still care and his absence would make little difference, which was true immediately, but gradually over the last decade? perhaps individual work ethic is not enough in a large megacorporate structure to overcome corporate pressures. Perhaps, in such a large structure you really do need someone pushy and particular enough at the top to get emotional and pissed at people when small details suck to prevent it adding up over time.
Many Apple products in particular OSX was pretty bad during Jobs era.
(I will say one thing about leopard, I iinstalled a boot disk of it on an intel machine and I was able to boot an old ppc mini. That was impressive at the time)
