You may want to bring up trying a different one? Not all of them do that, and not every one affects everyone the same. Bupropion didn’t have any of the numbing effect for me.

Hm. I ended up wiping my Nexus S and reinstalling so many times I never had that, but I see.

The dropoff in searches could just be people getting used to it, as in boiling a live frog by raising the temperature bit by bit.

I remember when the iPad and many other iOS products came out, people who said they didn’t have enough RAM for future proofing were mocked for not “getting it”. It certainly seems to be the biggest pain point right now. A5 with 512MB absolutely chugs on iOS9, 1GB devices do better but reload apps and tabs all the time…

What do you mean? I found the Nexus S could get new apps more regularly than the iPhone 4 on older OSs. OS support may have ended earlier, but Android applications generally support more versions back. The Play store will also allow you to download the last compatible version for apps that drop support.

If it’s caches or background processes, that still means that new iOS installs leave too much cruft.

The Air 1 isn’t even slow hardware...Did you try a wipe and reinstall? Did you also try turning off predictive keyboard? I’ve had those issues, but with the A5 first gen Mini. I didn’t think it would go to faster hardware too.

The thing about holding off on iOS updates is Apple really only patches their latest OS quickly, and their N-1 OS slowly and then not at all. I.e, you could stay on iOS 6/7 for the 4S/5 to avoid the slowdown, but they also don’t get critical security updates.

Pretty annoying problem.

I wish there was an extensive test of the performance of the last few OSX releases. What’s the post-Snow Leopard performance peak? Mavericks? Moountain Lion?

Any OSX after Snow Leopard doesn’t like under 8GB and HDDs much. If you have a SSD it’s probably fine, if you have both an SSD and upgrade to 8GB you’re golden.

If you’ve seen pictures of it there, I find it interesting that it always has external tanks and even a Luneburg radar reflector on all of them. So I think they're hiding what the true clean radar profile would be on purpose, as the reflector and tanks add to its RCS.

The other thing that’s awkward, I’m not near making “fuck you” money, but I’m in my 20s and statistically my peers would only catch up at around ~55 years old (if my income never increases), so it’s a bit awkward telling peers who are often broke how much I make.

The lunch out every day thing always gets me, because I want to jive with my boss and team who do go out every day, but averaging say 15 dollars a day over a year is an obscene amount of money for food compared to home made.

How much do you make?

I had a brief philosophical debate about this myself earlier today, when a classmate point blank asked on facebook (private message) how much I was making at my new job since she was thinking of applying. Ended up deciding not to overthink it and telling them, but the mild discomfort of telling them was outweighed by…

I still have weird networking errors with Safari stalling in loading pages and sometimes taking a few hits of enter to start loading them at all. Disabled DNS prefetch, changed DNS providers, deleted all plist files and caches, nothing has seemed to help.

Am I nuts or is that a Yamaha Tesseract with a wheel removed?

Where are those any-shaped screens promised for cars anyways? That way you wouldn’t need that big square, it could sculpt around some other features.

Can anyone answer if it’s still using a Tegra 3 like the Model S?

Not crazy about the nose. Looks a bit flat.
