I have had many iPhones and have been happy with them so far, but I am not going to pay $1000 for a fucking smartphone(my local price for a 7 with 256GB, converted to USD). My iPhone 5 died, so I got a SE for $550, and that's a lot of money too. Like the new MacBook Pro, the latest price hike just became too much.
I am not using any apps now that does not exist on a android system, so I might as well switch. The MacBook Pro is too expensive, they lack a good upgradable workstation for video editing. Well, it has been a good 10 years since I switched from Windows, when the next computer replacement comes around, I am taking a look at switching back to Windows again.
Most of Europe are fucked in that regard. Some worse than others. Germany and Sweden would be poor choices. Sweden gets an extra bill of 59 (is that billions in US english?), the price of 10 new "super-hospitals" as they are called. But that is what happens when your leaders all say. "come all in everybody, you are all welcome", that did they think would happen?:)
Now it is after I got my fiber connection it is all gone. My old *DSL connected at 50/10 mbit(errorfree) but I couldn't get anywhere near that(30mbit at most) and latency were way too high. Only place it caused me some problems was when I worked from home and the Citrix connection as I don't play online games.
I know it's not going to happen. It was just wishful thinking. Apple should be leaving, but you know they are not going to. They will fold and then the lawmakers in the US sees that and they will have to give in at home as well.
There is such a thing as common decency. If they try to moderate their platform so people behave in a decent and civil way towards each other, there should be no exemptions. I don't owe black people, or people with any other skin color for that matter, anything. I would like people to talk nicely to each other, but when people are assholes I am not going to sit down and take it. Twitter, as it is, has decided that tell me that I should be exterminated because of where I come from, and that is perfectly acceptable. So why the fuck would I want to use that place that has no respect for me?
It kinda seems to me that it has already happened. The news anchors are such drama queens. And then they waste everybodys time by airing crazy bitches like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
It's a freak show already, why would I want to get cable TV again?
I have the same issue. Even though I have been very happy with the Apple enviroment of OS X and their hardware. They are moving further and further away from something I want to spend my money on. Their recent MacBook Pro "upgrade" have made them useless for me and all too expensive.
My late 2013 iMac still packs a punch with the Intel I7. I can have FCPX pro rendering in the background while websurfing and other stuff still runs smooth. It feels like a workstation, it has a cmd line I can use. it used to have a proper disk utility program etc etc.
Of course that is because I am running external RAIDs on the USB3 ports for the rendering, etc. I need to accessorize a MacBook Pro with numerous dongles, and after a while, external storage because I cannot upgrade it. So it is becoming useless too fast and too expensive for my wallet. Like I switched from Windows in 2007 to OS X, I might need to do the reverse when the next upgrade comes around and see if I work with Windows again.
It is really sad how they have dumbed every thing down.
Also if you are editing 5K videos. You are running out of disk space really fast with Apple ProRes. A macbook pro with 2TB SSD is going to fill up fast if you are editing anything past a 3 minute video and have multiple camera sources and takes.
The intervals might be fast enough. But you need a lot of terabytes of storage to do editing with FCP X. Those Apple ProRes files takes up 5x the space of the video you import. Then it saves all the renders it has made so if you adjusted fx color, you have how it looked before the change and after. And for every thing you change to a clip a version is saved if I had time to render it in the background.

Send it down SR-179 and let's if it gets stuck in one of the many roundabouts. Perhaps stuck in a infinite loop.
heh.
try running a ad blocker and not having ads or 3rd party trackers. it doubles the page load speed.
Well, something has changed here. News t about politics seems to be the most popular.
When I go here, it's usually to avoid topics regarding politics.
How I love statistics!
USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!
and so forth.
They are probably recording and indexing it in text already, might as well add translations as a feature.
Sorry but who gives a fuck about this?

if some big tech companies would leave the U.K. market because of that. But of course it wouldn't go well with the shareholders. :D
Yeah. :) I removed it some time ago. When the same rules don't apply to everyone, it is really not something I care to use.

Unless he says "fuck white people" or "kill all white people". You can do that with impunity on Twitter. Their hypocrisy knows no boundries.
Can it hear what I am typing?
Well, never mind because I, for one, welcome our new Amazon overlords!
Who thinks that the news channels have any integrity left? People over 60?

It seems that he is turning into a politician really fast. By February, they will have him reeled in.
As long as you can get 1$ workers from Mexico there's no need for innovation.

I'm afraid . . . has disappeared completely up its own asshole.
If I remember correctly, wasn't the launch codes 00000000. they might not really have changed them.
There's not going to be a president Donald Trump, thats not going to happen.
