So instead of getting light, wireless, noise canceling headphones to use on the go, people should get heavy, wired, semi-open headphones that aren’t even efficient enough to use with most smartphones

Its really more a matter of designers who don’t think TVs should be in the main family room so they don’t put a logical spot for one. But people want a TV in every room so they jam as large a TV as they can fit in between the mantle and ceiling and it looks like shit.

Some people literally don’t know any better.

They can be uncomfortable even and not realize what the issue is.

It’s like how people don’t know what they want until you tell them.

As to your 17" I’d say at least upgrade to a 24"

Or a 32" tv could be had for around $100 if you look on ebay.

I would recommend Vizio brand,…

I know it probably seems like a logical place, design-wise.

I never really did understand that. I know it probably seems like a logical place, design-wise. But I never liked going to friends places and craning my head back to watch tv.

If you are going post dumb crap to make your point, like the government buying $600 hammers, you sure as heck ought to check your sources. You’re literally pulling the modern day equivalent of forwarding a right-wing chain email.

In a proper world, Equifax would end up in bankruptcy 10 times over because of this, not just for the incompetency but double as a warning to other companies.

Its not iOS11 breaking the apps, its the devs who are breaking them by being lazy. They gotta get their lazy asses off the couch and start coding in that sweet sweet notch and safe areas for the X.

So it worked exactly as it should? That sinks in fantastically.

I agree with you. But I am not the media or the 90% of the population who likes to blow things out of proportion.

Good demos usually work.

Unfortunately the glitch happened on the biggest feature addition on the phone.

So yeah, Face ID failed during the keynote because too many people looked at the phone. Let that sink in.

Apple has just become shitty at throwing tech demos?

And if you or someone else were to input a wrong password MULTIPLE times, the phone locks you out for a period of time (for OBVIOUS reasons). In other words (spoon feeding time) it (face ID) worked as intended.

I read that it was actually caused by multiple people handling it prior to the demo. Each person handling it inadvertently caused the phone to attempt a face-unlock, which it correctly failed. And with so many legitimate failures, the phone requested a real PIN.

If that was the case then it would have said “iPhone requires your passcode after restarting” not “Your passcode is required to enable FaceID.” It’s likely that too many people handled the phone while setting up the presentation resulting in too many failed FaceID attempts.

Apple’s response was that FaceID worked as ironically intended: the stage hands that prepared the demo units were handling the devices before the demo, and they triggered FaceID enough that it forced the device to revert back to requiring a passcode (since remember, after 4-5 failed TouchID attempts you get the same…

Apple’s statement said the unlock failures were because non-Craig people were handling the device and it was trying to authenticate their face...like if people who didn’t have their fingerprint on my iPhone kept on holding my phone and putting their finger on the Home Button.

That actually works in Apple’s favor then. FaceID failed the same exact way TouchID would’ve failed. Too many failed attempts. But in this case it was sabotage (in a way) instead of the technology failing.
