The notification system on iOS is steaming hot garbage. The notifications are on the app itself, not a notification bar, so if they don't hear the chime originally they might not see it if the app isn't on the home screen. It's annoying enough that a friend and I had to switch back to SMS from Signal because she…

This was my issue. I just could not wrap my head around how to even use iOS. (This was probably 8 years ago...) Anything I tried to do, I ended up saying “Wait, why can’t I do <simple thing>?“... or “Those steps are so weird!” ...etc. And I’m a technie.

Honestly, I said the same for OSX. It was close enough to Linux…

I’ve tried to switch to Apple - and honestly? It sucks.

Android tablets suuuuuuck. That is the one area in our home where iOS still rules the roost.

Such a weird article. I’m not sure who this is for. Sounds like an Android user who’s jealous of their Apple-using friends. I doubt there’s a massive population of Apple users that are pining for Android just as much as I doubt there’s a massive population of Android users pining for iOS. Once people find what works…

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.
