What is the non-standard OS that the writer is using?

This is an important article. It catalogues the failures that are contributing to the demise of Apple's reputation as a company that was utterly focussed on user experience.

Unfortunately, some of these bugs make using the OS for daily tasks frustrating. That is not a good look for the software that runs such expensive pieces of hardware. I am becoming saddened and disappointed by Apple. I am losing my ability to defend my choice to Windows users.

I always accepted the Apple Premium for the luxury of privacy and a user focussed experience. What is the premium for now, apart from a fancy piece of hardware? Hardware required supportive software to justify the Mac Premium. It was always their marriage that we paid extra for.

This is an excellent point.

So interesting that it is activated so instantly. I am going to test this.

This is most likely the reason. I will put it to the test. Thank you.

My phone provider denies they removed the option from iOS (even though the infrastructure exists) and Apple denies it is them.

There is a consumer unfriendly ethic behind this. Overly long answers are a cunning was to increase token cost and therefore profit. Consumers are savvy and will prohibit monopoly whilst there is still plentiful competition.

There are many more people who write, than who love words enough, to consume and generate great writing.

This is also why projections of AI's impact are overrated in some domains. Everyone can 'write' an app now. Relatively few will actually make one.

I have updated this app twice since your feedback. I do hope that it feels easier to use...

Also, just a note, the displays reflect the adjusted parameter to get the desired exposure value in Tv(shutter speed) and Sv (ISO) modes...so one value in one of those modes will always adjust live to compensate to get the exposure. I

like app best in M mode. I basically lower the iso and adjust the shutter because I like taking pics of high contrast scenes.

Oh wow, thanks for the feedback. I am really, really grateful. Ill have an update asap.

If the shutter speed get too long, as with many "pro" apps, the refresh becomes slow. Like a mirrorless, best to keep the iso low as poss as the shutter speed to match your needs. Small sensors are not great at long exposures.

I think I may have let it enter burst mode way too quickly if the shutter zone is pressed. Ill fix that...Actually, ill implement a toggle.

Anything else in particular re the fussiness? I would love to make this as good as you expected it to have been for a paid app. Thank you.

Amazing. Magic Mouse Next please : ) Again, this is just amazing.

Fascinated that the author shares an experience of discovery in libraries. The internet, in its early days felt like that. Of course, no longer.

Libraries are certainly declining in their traditional form. I find it odd that everyone has a digital resources in their pocket yet libraries are squeezing out physical books to make way for more and more computers. Try to find paper copy of the Sony founder's book.... that will be £50 on amazon. Prohibitive. No library within a 10 mile radius has a copy.

I remember joyfully discovering Tony Royce's book in my library a few years ago. That enlightenment will never happen now. Primary knowledge is being lost, churned crude will forever lubricate the delusions of those who have no facility to collate the basis of our understanding.

This is a fascinating resource. Wow. Thanks to the OP for posting this.

Even with memory off this occurs within a conversation.

It is like an annoying friend, who remembers something from a past conversation, that you have grown and developed from, but they still want to hold it against you.

I love as yet unexplained visual phenomena.

I cant wait to read/view this in detail. Super exciting, thank you.

And who said cameras linked to Meta in their glasses were a good idea?

Can anyone else see some remarkable similarities between a 1999 Ford Concept Car and the New Ferrari Luca?

I made a video so I can ask youtube to see what they think about this possible association too:

I've been using macs since the Classic. I have used macs because the OS was rarely a limiting factor in my productivity. In fact, everything has always been made unobtrusive. Presently, there is misdirected focus at Apple. Most consumers will not have known better. But, that complacency has never been the way apple managed to innovate to be so ahead.

Amazing!!! As ereaders get faster and with colour, this could make books from the Project even more attractive. I love the work of your team. Thank you.

Is Project Guternberg ever going to add PDF download options?

yes

It is very challenging that the moderation and rule making is more arbitrary that you would believe from community rules.

Yes, I do agree. But my long standing frustrations with Reddit came to the Surface with this OpenAI article. My thoughts reflect on how we are soon to be subjected to the whims of the LLM masters when it comes to conformity.

I find it worrying that a handful of software companies will define what classifies personality "type".

How can we solve this problem, of the current state of the internet, without reverting to the compromises of the past? This has been on my mind for a while. The layer of trash some companies have built over the internet has been ruinous.

could the same be said of iOS?
