How does your neck feel from holding up such a huge fedora? You must be a real blast when people are having a light conversation until someone makes a grammatical error and you start foaming at the mouth.
I feel like you're doing something wrong here. Isn't the default action of iTunes to automatically sync the device when you plug it in?
Clicking that main sync button only syncs phone data, not media. Why, I have no idea.
If you aren't interested in using iTunes as your media player, why are you adding the files to iTunes's music library to start with? Just add them with your third-party player and leave them off iTunes. If the third-party player can't read the phone's iTunes library files, and doesn't have an automated way of loading tracks to the device, it sounds like a lousy player. And going back to my previous paragraph, iTunes adding the music files to your phone and causing things to duplicate is something you've done wrong in your original device configuration.
I was talking about the media player on the phone. On my PC I use Winamp. iTunes is the only way to copy files to the phone. I don't like the media player on the phone so I downloaded a third party one. The only way it sees files is to enable sharing with iTunes and copy the files in specifically for that app. It won't play what already exists on the phone. That is how Apple locks things down. Yead you
I use an Android handset myself. But I have my music library in iTunes on Windows (because of my old iPod), and the files are synced to my NAS on an automated schedule (it's running right now, in fact). There on the NAS, the files are accessed for playback through 1) a generic DLNA server, 2) Plex, and 3) Subsonic. I have a third-party Subsonic app on my phone, which is what I use to load/play back my own music library on the device instead of manually copying files. The Subsonic client can natively playback all but one format of music from my synced iTunes library, and that's the old 128 kbps DRM iTunes Music Store files, which I have a handful of. It plays back the CDs I ripped in AAC (.m4a), the WAV files, even the Apple Lossless files, all without transcoding. But I can configure the Subsonic server to transcode the high-bitrate lossless files on-demand for streaming specifically on the phone's player. This way, the download usage/storage for the phone is much lower. I have the phone's client set to only download over wi-fi, but I paid the piddly $12/year fee for Internet access on my Subsonic install. So I can load and playback any file from my Subsonic server from any wi-fi connection. I don't really have to plan what music I want on my phone unless I'm going to go on a walk, since I can get whatever I want otherwise. If I was willing to pay for a cellular data plan even that would not matter. Oh, and the client has a setting to automatically load new files that have appeared in the library since the last sync, without me having to set up a Smart Playlist-style trick.
I was an Android user for a long time but got tired of cheap phones and no support from the vendors. The only thing I miss is having extra physical buttons.
I don't need that god awful piece of shit iTunes to manage content on my phone? I mean the main window has a sync button. I add files to my library and click sync but it never copies the files. Only when you click on the tiny phone button on the toolbar and then look at the storage space breakdown does a second sync button show up. This is what actually copies files to your phone. What the fuck Apple?
Oh and say I don't like Apple's default media player. In order to use a third party app I have to enable file sharing with that app, and copy my files over to it. That means I need to delete my iTunes library or else everything is copied to the phone TWICE. Again, what the fuck?
What really blew my mind was reading that Apple's biggest desktop customer is now IBM. That should tell you something when big blue is distancing themselves from Microsoft.
Are you kidding? I could be independently wealthy now had I bought bitcoins back when they were worth pennies. I'd buy Amazon gift cards with bitcoins and then sell the cards for cash.
Can they stop those css pop up screens? You know the kind that darken your background and ask for your email address when browsing many sites? You are forced to try and look for the nearly invisible X to close them. Tons of mainstream sites do this and its annoying as hell.
Why can no one use this term correctly? Bricked means the device is dead and can't be powered up without reflashing firmware. Bricked does not mean it can't connect to a 2G network.
I'm happier without touchscreen controls in my car. All that stuff is going to age terribly and from the complaints posted here work stops when the car ships. You still can't beat tactile knobs and switches for control.
I own a laptop that only gets used occasionally for trips. Every time its booted svchost.exe uses one cpu core and thrashes my drive for nearly an entire DAY looking for updates. If you kill the process it starts again. I disabled updates just for it to be useful again.
These weren't even real prototypes. The whole thing is vaporware at the moment. You won't see this thing for another 5 years at least. Find me a graphic card capable of driving three 4K displays, now explain how you're fitting that inside a laptop.

This is only if you're coming from one of the seven banned countries.
Also see through clothes like those Sony camcorders from the 90s?

The cookies and advertising scripts have already identified you long ago. Not to mention all the big names selling metrics to each other.
You know Firefox is going to follow suit as they have become Chrome Junior.
Reminds me of trying to get stuffit installed on an old Mac. Nobody ever supplied stuffit as an executable, it was always compressed.
Funny how the OpenBSD team doesn't have that problem.

At this point, what would be the average time for a GPU or even a CPU to mine a bitcoin?
It hardly matters when the problem is the idiot sitting there opening suspicious email attachments.
The character had two minutes of screen time at best.
Could be a driver problem, but sure blame DRM...

Where are you shopping for flip phones? Dollar General sells them and even Android phones for like $40.

Like it would have made any difference if they had an outdated Linux distribution.
Oh my god people on the internet were wrong! The horror...
They finally plugged the analog hole. You know DRM is going to work its way in.
So why a mockup if the technology is there?
