What would be better?

When I search the Android UI, it looks very similar, but horizontal.


I was just saying it was funny that they just used the in real life used screen as their design of the worst thing they could come up with, especially as Apple touts itself as great at design.

As others have said, if they made it a non-linear scale so that there is more room between the lower value and less as it approached the max settings.

However, it is at least functional opposed to the person that I replied suggested it wasn't.


Speaking as a New Zealander, this is correct. Having the FBI raid Dotcom was quite the show.

Maybe you could recreate it now, but with better music?

> Apple's AI features can be turned off with one global toggle, as well as more granular ones.

I’m an Apple user. Turn off Siri and CarPlay gets painful from memory, and my AirPods won’t translate without it turned on.

In terms of privacy, they are slipping. The dialogs ‘ask apps not to track’, and don’t appear to block them. Watching Tim surrender to authority at ever at every opportunity makes me sad.


I mean that's what you'd expect turning off the whole of siri. They provide granular options to turn off individual aspects like the listening for "hey siri" and such. If you wholesale disable the entirety of siri you are going to find it annoying if you use features provided by siri.

This sounds like LinkedIn.


Wait a minute. It is owned by Microsoft.

It’s a relentless horror. I signed my wife up to track down a driver that crashed into her.

I think LinkedIn spam is worse than being in a crash.

I had dental issues there too, but soldiered though after seeing the state of the dental clinic.

Used needles on the doorstep, signage spelt wrong etc.

I think the elevation exacerbates problems.


So Starlink ‘Offence’ could be an upsell on a basic ‘Defence’ plan.

That dating analogy would work better if America wasn’t messing up every relationship with lunatic behaviour.

Everyone swiped left long ago.


They famously ate their iPod market. It was the most successful consumer electric product ever and they destroyed it.

The iPhone has done well.


The smartphone destroyed the iPod. If Apple artificially made the iPhone not capable of playing songs, then people would just buy a Samsung phone (which could play music).

Yes. And Apple led the way.
