Hmm that’s a scary conspiracy. Seems like checking that there are at least a handful of contributors needs to be part of adding new dependencies.

Honestly, too long. I think 8” really is the sweet spot. I hate long cables!

Different regions do get different devices though. US gets a different 5G antenna, and chime gets dual physical sims, just as examples. I’m sure there are other differences between regional variants.

iPhone “color” rumors are like spoilers to an episode of MASH. Who even cares? On that note, I’ll just make my own prediction that the next iPhone will probably come in a dark grayish-black color, among others. Where’s my leaker money?

Ok.

You’re insane if you actually believe that this will happen, but also I hope it does. I reckon they’re more likely to change their position on homosexuality.

From a product perspective, I really disagree.

Twitter’s value is/was that it was ubiquitous. Everyone (important) was there and it was the only Twitter-like thing that there was. Even the Pope tweets. I guarantee you the Pope will never be on Mastodon. Not that any of us necessarily care about updates from the Pope or Lebron James or whoever, but your favorite journalist was, and the developers of all your favorite indie iOS apps were, and if you live in a city, your local public transit authority was likely there as well. Twitter was really the only place for microblogging type of content.

On the other hand, Reddit is, by nature, just a centralized collection of forums, which I think is far more easily recreated in a decentralized way. You already have posts organized into communities, now with Lemmy we’re just adding another layer of organization on top of that. As another commenter said, much of Reddit’s value is that it was the place where someone asked the same question you now have and so you can read those answers, but Twitter’s value really is for real time communications.

The issue I see with both frankly is search. It can be kinda hard with either to find the community/discussions that are interesting and relevant to you, but hopefully that will improve.

Yes, I believe you can export passwords from Safari. It’s a little bit Janky, but doable. I think you have to go to Safari’s version of the keychain manager and there’s a button somewhere that lets you create an Excel sheet.

But is there enough bandwidth to spare such that you can still send data back the other way? Pretty much all displays function as a USB hub as well.

Overcast is king! Smart speed and voice boost are two stand out features. Can also use it in your Mac if using Apple Silicon.

Yay user testing! Actually the period was from autocorrect. But should specifying a specific date time, like I did, work? Seems like it wants relative time duration instead.

!Remindme 4.5 months.

!remindme December 1.

Cool, we’ll see how that works. You should post about this if you haven’t, these are the Reddit features we’re all used to but aren’t sure about yet.

Agree, if Threads majorly flops they’d just pull the plug, add they’ve done before.

This obviously isn’t very good though cause it will only index posts on lemmy.world, not other indexes, no?

Nice.

As far as data, ok. Haven’t ever looked for an 8k display. Nothing in the Apple world seems to do 90hz though, it’s 60 or 120. I wonder if MacBook Pro support display outputting those high res/high refresh rates also.

Oh yeah I mean their stuff has absolutely no resale value. Like I said, I think the introductory price is just to see if anyone nibbles, catch those “early adopters” such as it is, who for whatever reason didn’t buy the Studio Display, maybe cause they thought it would be market making and inspire competition.

Is there a !remindme 6months feature/bot in Lemmy yet?

Do we know if/that Lemmy posts are getting indexed by google? I haven’t had much luck throwing “lemmy” into my google searches but presumably if we do it should start getting more traffic and increase rank?

I’m stoked that they’re making this! Please buy it! There isn’t anything else in the same class as the Studio Display (5k/27”) to my knowledge which was why Apple had to make the Studio Display, but also why they can charge so much for it! It’s nice that it works with Windows for people who use both macOS and Windows, but I’m guessing exactly 0 people buy this exclusively for their XPS/HP laptops.

I think the introductory pricing will come down within a few months. I stated in another comment, but maybe ~$1000 by holiday/ Black Friday season? This looks like a good product, but it’s hard to imagine why someone would spend the same amount for a similar product that isn’t first party (Apple), even if this has some nice included features (matte display and adjustable stand) that Apple charges for. I think long term, the best marketing for this product is “it’s like the Apple display, but costs way less.”
