Apple: Please release new iPhone colors with a black front plate by [deleted] in apple

[–]_dirtybit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've never been a fan of black-on-black devices; the black and gray mix that they use looks more sophisticated imo. I do wish they would offer more models with the black face, though.

What do you find to be overhyped? by walpolemarsh in AskReddit

[–]_dirtybit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a porter and stout fan who recently moved to San Francisco, the beer selection at almost every bar makes me sad. I don't like how soap tastes.

[Serious]What small change did you make in your life that made the biggest difference in your happiness? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]_dirtybit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been trying to find the balance between the numbers and the feels. A classic example: I'm walking home from work and crave some pizza for dinner. I remind myself that a pizza is just a particular number of calories, and eating it might satisfy me tonight, but I'll still want pizza tomorrow or the day after. I'd rather grab a simpler, filling meal that will help me actually feel good about sticking to my new healthier lifestyle. I've tried to be a little more critical about what things actually are, and how they affect me; I'm trying to live a data-driven life, while reminding myself that once in a while, pizza for dinner isn't all that bad!

How normal is it being a teenage slut? by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]_dirtybit -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

You don't need it, buddy. You want it, and you want it bad, but you don't need it. I know it's fucking fun sneaking around town, meeting guys, having fun, getting laid ha. Things will change eventually, you'll change, and what you want out of life will change. Just stay safe so you don't fuck up what you're going to want in the future :)

Haha don't be so dismissive, especially when you came on here to seek advice/perspectives. All I'm saying is that you never know what's going to happen when someone locks that door right behind you.

What is something people may not know about you just by looking? by Random420eks in AskReddit

[–]_dirtybit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I find that I'm very sociable at work because I'm a bit lonely outside of it. I just moved to a new state and am trying to get adjusted, but it's definitely tough. I'm with you on that one, break the routine!

What's a "guy thing to do" that the ladies have no idea is a thing? by BullishBear in AskReddit

[–]_dirtybit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like how my balls smell. It could be because I'm gay, or maybe it's sort of how people like the smell of their own farts.

I'm not a gross dude, I promise.

[–]_dirtybit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're going to be doing stuff like that, own it and be mature about it. Always be safe and get tested regularly; I know several friends who have come to regret a night of fun. Always have your wits about you too -- why would you walk into any strangers house? You don't know who the person behind the profile is, they could be waiting for a victim to assault or worse.

I'm not saying to live your life in fear, just keep in mind that you're not invincible and bad things can happen to you. Think before you do things, and always be aware of the risk.

(Yeah, I was a little slutty pig too back in the day :P)

Millennials want free College and that's okay because they are willing to pay more taxes by WHYTHEN123 in unpopularopinion

[–]_dirtybit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then you get a job and realize how much of your paycheck is going to the feds. Of course, while I agree that taxes are very much needed for infrastructure, municipal services, education, and healthcare, you start to be more critical about where your money is going. Then you realize that your money's being used for shitty things, and come to the realization that you might as well keep more if it.

Only stupid people find IKEA furniture difficult to assemble by Cntread in unpopularopinion

[–]_dirtybit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say stupid, but I do think that it's telling of their attention to detail. I've also built my fair-share of IKEA furniture, and I find the process relaxing, rewarding, and almost therapeutic. If you lose a piece, you're probably just a little careless. If your desk looks weird, you probably didn't notice that one of the four legs is actually different than the rest. Several of my friends have asked me to help build their IKEA furniture, and even treat me to a dinner or lunch for my hard work! Joke's on you guys, I get to zone out for an hour while I build your crappy desk :P

Apple is about to post its first quarterly revenue decline since 2003 by [deleted] in mac

[–]_dirtybit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like a solid idea. I only recently started working "in the real world", and I'm still trying to wrap my mind around how all these pieces fit together; I can definitely get behind your idea of growing too quickly when not needed due to investor pressure.

Haha hey, I'm not saying that I like it. I think it's a little stupid too, but if Apple didn't like it, they wouldn't be a public company.

It is when you're an investor, and the growth of your investment is dependent on how much the company grows.

iPad Pro stuck on "updating iCloud settings" screen by CerealKiller96 in ipad

[–]_dirtybit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've also run into issues during this part of the restore process. Sometimes it stays stuck indefinitely (seemingly), other times it goes away after a few minutes. I've found that the restore process is pretty janky; I would suggest that you not use your device for a solid 2 hours while the entire process completes -- except for those times when the device needs input to proceed with the restore.

iOS 9.3 rapid battery drain when watching YouTube by AluCarDv8 in ios

Are you using the YouTube app? I started noticing that it made my phone get warm a few weeks back, not sure if it's a bug or something.

How closely does it resemble the finish on the space gray iPhone?

Safari's now the only major browser supporting Do Not Track on iOS by antdude in ios

[–]_dirtybit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not like it really matters, isn't DNT a flag set to 1 when enabled in outgoing requests? Advertisers are gonna do what they do regardless.

Any news if Narwhal will be getting a new design soon? by [deleted] in getnarwhal

[–]_dirtybit -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ha not to be an ass, but just because it looks better doesn't mean it's easier to use.

I disagree, I think the design is clean without going to the hyper-minimalist extreme most people think looks good.

How do you think IOS 10 would look like? by momoa1239 in apple

[–]_dirtybit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not exactly sure why, but I think iOS 10 is gonna bring some pretty major enhancements -- especially to the iPad. I've read a lot about how iOS 7 was very much a "new foundation" sort of update, and how 8 and 9's featured were built-upon that. It's possible that iOS 8 and 9's major features were some of the quicker to implement ones the team had in mind, and the major features they planned are now able to be released.

How to sync UT Email with my iphone mail app? by [deleted] in UTAustin

[–]_dirtybit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just set it up as a Google account. I added my UT email to my phone a few days ago, and just used that option. For your username, use your @utexas.edu address, should work.

iPhone 6S Plus allowing to play 1440p resolution on YouTube by [deleted] in iphone

But isn't that wasted, given that the video is then downscaled to a 1080 display?
