I actually hated the face unlock. But my initial experience with the 6 Pro makes me miss it. Fingerprint scanner on the back was best. 

Face scan should be coming back in a later update.

I’ve only experienced it post-patch, and I don’t have a screen protector on it yet... it’s slower than the back-facing predecessors by at least a quarter second (which is fine if you haven’t used them before, it’s a nuisance if you’re used to the old speed). I think I just really prefer having it on the back, because…

Macrofactor is by far the best app in this space. I am the same way as you I hate when an app starts freaking out because I didn’t follow it exactly.

Hydrox cookies.  It’s Oreos or GTFO over here.  

Hellman’s (known as Best Foods west of the Rockies) Mayonnaise.

The “ease-of-use” generation, I’d like to call it, I guess. The generation even past that which grew up with computers you could just buy at Sam’s Club, plug in at home, and get on the internet without much hassle - this is the generation that uses iPads at home instead of computers and “it just works” so when it…

mmm so it’s another “synergy” that’s gonna be thrown around willy nilly without any meaning.

Makes me want to go dig out a bunch of my dad’s old slides and show them what a slide deck really looks like.

Yep - my last work place it was just “a deck.”

“Deck” yes. I hear people use “deck” all the time.

Yeah, I was in management strategy consulting 20 years ago, and that was the term then.  It’s hilarious that she’s using an outdated term to sound up-to-date.

I heard it for the first time maybe a week ago, from my 32 year old partner who also had never heard of it. She works with almost exclusively 30-somethings, and they make a shitload of presentations.

I worked at a Fortune 50 manufacturing company and it was “a pitch.”

It’s a favorite word of consultants.

I offered to write a co-worker a check for something and he looked at me like I’d offered to pay him in shiny rocks and bear claws.

If you don’t know how to convert a Word file to PDF, how to make a bar graph in Excel, or how to copy paste without using the Edit menu, are you on any nursing home waiting lists yet? The good ones can take years to get into.

As someone who has been losing a lot of weight in a short span of time (medical issues), thank you for putting this article out there.

At home, I do pour-over and at work, Nespresso. It’s good! I was a restaurant in Lyon (the “Culinary Capital of France”) and I went to one of their typical Lyonnais restaurants. It was great. I ordered coffee with my dessert, and the little espresso cup was marked “Nespresso”! I (skeptically) asked the waiter if that…

You can get better espresso for cheaper (after a few years) with a real espresso machine and grinder, but you are also getting a new hobby...
