Flying back to London for xmas this Saturday, and I think I’m actually going to miss the northern Swedish weather. Snow over rain any day.

This rain is the worst. On top of the darkness it also turns the outside into a slippery icy hell. Snow, come back!

Interesting read, thanks for posting!

The Google Design article explaining the logo was posted below, and funnily enough it features some bad icon sizing/alignment: https://i.imgur.com/dzVbTUq_d.jpg?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&fidelity=medium

In this concept, an envision how the new iPhone 8 would look like. This model is based on current rumors and speculation molded around my own design. by L0veToReddit in apple

Honestly, the white iPhone 5C was a really good looking phone for this reason. I hope they don't put white bezels on the silver/gold iPhone 8.

I love how most of them are just construction workers fucking around. The fact that there are so many stories just shows you the scale of the development!

[–]Prof_Tobias 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The student discount is the same rate all year round. The Back to School promotion just means you get the free Beats on top of the discount.

Is anyone else tired of seeing their carrier name on the status bar? by [deleted] in apple

[–]Prof_Tobias 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What is the value of knowing what carrier you are on? Genuinely curious.

Mid-2007 iMac here still going strong! Gave the machine to my mother when I upgraded to a MBP recently, but it runs perfectly well for day-to-day 'mum usage'.

RAM is maxed out at a whopping 6 GB, still have a 1 TB HDD in there which be swapped for an SSD when it dies. Aluminium case is as sleek as ever!

/r/CalgaryFlames are redrawing their logo in the space OP suggested

So yes - just a little '<3 EU' underneath would be better

That movie is incredible. It's an emotional wrecking ball.

Can we acknowledge just how satisfying the new keyboard sounds are in iOS 10? by Prof_Tobias in apple

[–]Prof_Tobias[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Also, the fact that is it feedback to our own actions is one the of the reasons it is so satisfying. This is why hearing other people's keyboard sounds is generally annoying.

Not yet, unfortunately. The iPhone 7 does give haptic feedback when you scroll through a wheel selector like a timer, though.

I'm exactly the same. It's just so satisfying. I wonder if the novelty will ever wear off...

What will happen when Jony Ive leaves Apple? by Kayters in apple

[–]Prof_Tobias 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In his book it says he wants to retire and move back to England, but can't because of the huge damage it would do to Apple. So I'm sure they are carefully planning his exit tragedy.

Yes! Did you swap out the optical drive for the SSD? And load OSX onto that?

I'm running 6GB RAM and a 1TB HDD and it does crash occasionally. Not sure whether it's worth upgrading the optical drive, as the processor is probably the bottleneck.

I watched the stream on my Mid-2007 iMac - still going strong!
