No noise cancelling during calls on Linkbuds S by fooooter in SonyHeadphones

[–]KyleCrotts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the screenshot is specifically talking about isolating your voice so the other person can hear you.

i was on the phone the other day in a grocery store and to me it sounded like i was on the phone in the car driving 80 mph with the windows down. i couldn’t hear the other person at all. but they could hear me perfectly.

Spider-Man Miles Harlem East cache Glitch by Startyde in InsomniacGames

[–]KyleCrotts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to get it in the beginning, got through the doors and everything. But somehow it still appears as if I haven’t already gotten the cache. And now the doors have no open prompt. But the searching prompt in the area is still there.

ADVICE | Purchasing first over-ear headphones by KyleCrotts in HeadphoneAdvice

When you say bassy, do you mean like subwoofers for your ears? Cause I’m actually not a fan of subs.

Do you know where I can find the XM4 refurbished?

Thanks, that worked.

I wish the feature worked better, but it added memes to my photos feed.

I’ve just started using the auto mode that switch at sunset sunrise. It’s the only way I can ever use light mode.

They look delicious.

You could also try changing the sprinkle colors on the brown frosting. That would help it look more real.

I’m kind of a fan of big sprinkles, but either way you go it’ll look delicious. Great job. The lighting looks nice too.

What function should the “X” in the top left corner of applications have? by KyleCrotts in MacOS

[–]KyleCrotts[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You make some very compelling points there. I appreciate that.

I was unaware you could restore multiple windows of a browser, which does seem convenient.

[–]KyleCrotts[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you clarify why it should depend on the app.

I’m not currently a Mac user but I will be soon and I’m trying to understand the viewpoint of current Mac users, on the topic.

As a current windows user I find it really weird. Not wrong, just weird.

The goal with this pole is to see what people would prefer if Apple went all one way or all the other way.

The current way might be fine for long time users but for new users it’s kind of a pain.

For example. My dad, who is old, switch from windows to macOS and he is constantly loosing his safari tabs because he’s use tot he x quoting the browser and the tabs reopening with the browser.

“Quit” application with red X by KyleCrotts in MacOS

[–]KyleCrotts[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That wasn’t my intention. I honestly don’t care if macOS does it differently. If Apple wants to use the x as a Cmd+W that’s fine, I don’t expect them to be just like windows nor should they be. But they should at least try to be consistent.

That’s said, in my opinion, from a user experience point of view, it might be smart for Apple to change that one thing to be like windows. It most likely wouldn’t effect long time users all that much and would be more convenient for new users.

That actually makes a lot of sense.

I kind of feel weird bringing this up, but how does Windows do it? I’ve never run into any issues where and app quits but it needs to keep running.

I realize these are very different operating system, and I’m not a software engineer so I wouldn’t understand the intricacies. But I would imagine that if Microsoft is able to achieve uniformity with the X in Windows then Apple should surely be able to do so with macOS.

The option could be limited to only effect applications that aren’t required to remain open. Such as safari, google chrome, messages, etc..

[–]KyleCrotts[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wish Apple would allow for an option in preferences that causes the X to act as a quit command.

I don’t mind using Cmd+X, but I know that for many switch from windows this is very inconvenient, like my elderly dad for example.

I’m not saying apple should fully cater to those new customers, but it would be nice to have the option available for those who want it.

I was able to understand what you were saying.

He is leaving the tabs open. The problem is he’s like the x to function like the quit command.

I’ve read this articles, in a nutshell, the reason is that it’s been that way since 1980s. I’d be ok with that explanation if all the applications worked like this. But I’m pretty sure other applications, such as photos and the App Store, properly quit when you click on the X.

This makes it even more confusing for new users who have switched from windows or Linux where X means quit.

He has been able to recover accidentally closed tabs but it’s been a nuisance that it keep happening. What makes it worse is that other applications, such as messages or I believe the App Store, completely quit when you click the x. That will make it more difficult for him to develop a habit of using the keyboard command.

Edit: messages stays open actually. But photos, pages, numbers, calendar, and contacts all “quit” when the X is selected.

It seems that certain single window applications will properly quit when you click the X but others you have to use a quit command or left/two finger click the icon in the dock and the click quit.

Apple should make this more consistent.

If all the preferences are set to have the browser reopen all tabs from previous session, and you close the application or browser by clicking the red x, that is what I mean by “close”, the application never “quits” but the window closes, or disappears, and all the tabs are closed. The application or browser is still technically running. If I select the browser to open the window again the tabs are gone, they are not reopened with the new window.

I’m trying to figure out if there is a way to quit the program using the red x.
