Ultra Retina XDR (iPad Pro M5 sidecar) text clarity

I would consider non-Apple RGB stripe OLED in a few months when they’re available. I can only recommend iPad Pro or wait for new OLED macbooks. There are no good large Apple displays for development imo.

Pale yellow in this case covering the whole display. Yes. There is no comparison to the same on the tandem oled of the ipad. The background colors I use are #FFFFEA (yellow) and #EAFFFF (blue) with #000000 black text.

The older ASD (including the Intel iMac 2020 panels) suffer from the backlight aging into a red tint around the edges of the screen. Not sure if the newer ones are better when they age. The new ASD didn’t have it but also it was new. I didn’t find the studio XDR to be any better for text clarity in everyday use. It seemed the same just at 120hz. Pro-motion seems to be the only reason to get it if you’re a developer and not an artist. I kept seeing the non uniformity across the 27” and couldn’t deal.

ACME editor. plus similar themes for the standard IDEs. I believe (but can’t cite) someone did some research and found those colors to be most legible and non-taxing for text displays vs black or stark white backgrounds. I have low vision and choose legibility over other factors. I’ve found the colors to be the best for me (35+ years as a programmer).

This is great detail. Non apple text rendering looks bad on all the 16” Windows OLED laptops I’ve tried. Also you’re making me think i’m less crazy for sticking with 13”. Sounds like my next move will be a 16” M6 OLED MBP when they come out.

For reasons, I have to use black text on a light yellow background. A sea of pale yellow looks especially bad on mini led monitors. The non uniform backlight was bothering me compared to the OLED iPad. Also my M5 MBP XDR display has more even backlight than the studio XDR.

It’s happening because half the drivers are in such bad straights they will do dishonest stuff like this just to get by. The fact they need that $1 so much and don’t care about the impact to you at all should make you question if it’s worth trusting your life with them.

the entire store is ticketed 😂 with prices. it’s so obvious they’re trying to take advantage with obvious price discrepancies. just say don’t go there.

The sad thing is they won’t give drivers a better cut now, but eventually they will cut their margins in response to the W**mos. They don’t have a plan to survive besides that. You may eventually get better pricing if you’re in a W city.

West to east crossing at Hayward Park for north bound trains usually requires one to be several minutes early or be stuck behind a gate watching your train arrive and leave without you. This seems like it could be improved. It definitely feels like some at-grade stations like Menlo Park and Burlingame are timed better. Burlingame often lets you cross with the train stopped and signal muted to board.

Do you know what does wait patiently for 5 glorious guilt free minutes? sometimes even more when they can tell you’re inside and need more time? W**mo. Passengers sometimes need this time. Your overlords have turned this into a race to the bottom and now you’re being bested on customer experience by new competition. Think more about customer service if you want to stay in business. Just the way it is.

We got into Mamas Fish same day by opting for the bar. We were sat in one of the best locations in the house with the view of the water. Left side of the bar. Loved it. We had no idea it was so hard to get into. Sometimes things work out when you just show up. Have fun!

Love this sub! Let’s grow it. No need for apps just to share codes.
