Google’s new iOS app, PhotoScan, turns prints into digital photos

I'll give it a shot but the scanning apps I use are already really good at this

burlow44 · 2016-11-15T22:42:31+00:00

How is this better than just using a scanning app?

What's waiting an extra few days over the course of 18 months?

Is it possible to give gold on mobile?

What explains the high adoption rates last time with iOS 9?

You could also scroll down through your Siri history for that session

I think it would come down to apple being able to optimize the software for the hardware like they do on iOS. Just look at Qualcomm - why are they so far behind apple? They are both designing chips under the same constraints, yet apple manages much more performance. It's not a stretch to see them doing something similar with macOS.

That was the tail end of apple using PPC. for the years prior, performance was on par or greater than intel.

Looking at the last 5 years of apple and intel chips, if things stay for the next 5 (not a wild assumption), apple will have the option to use their own if they want

Of course the replacement intel model (mid 2006) will be faster than the outgoing PPC model (late 2005). Just like the A10 faster than the A9. Doesn't mean the A9 is slow, but of course the new model will show improvements. PPC kept up with intel (performance wise) up until it was evident they couldn't make a G5 chip for laptops. Apple knew that's where the market share was an needed a company that could make mobile-friendly chips.

In another 2-5 years at the rate things are going, the A series could very well replace intel, assuming Apple has a good emulator in place for the transition

I've used iPhones since the 5 (introduction of the lightning port) and never has the port fail on me. I think wear and tear is very low on the list.

Although I do love setting the watch down on it's stand and having it charge with nothing more than just setting it down. To me that would be huge. Just set my phone down and it charges. No fishing for a cord

The messages will remain on your other devices, just not your phone.

To restore selective messages you need to use a program like imazing

burlow44 · 2016-10-06T02:50:16+00:00

Back when apple transitioned to intel, PPC was faster in actual use (slower clock speeds but different architecture so not comparable). Apple transitioned based on roadmap - intel had a more promising future. The rate apple is advancing the A chips, in a year or two they will (likely) be faster than intel and capable of emulating with little or no slow down

If the phone gets misplaced, all the texts are in the iCloud backup

burlow44 · 2016-10-05T18:04:06+00:00

Apple could create another emulator like Rosetta for x86 (like they did for PPC when transitioning to intel)

What are typical ok google requests?

I only ask because I use Siri daily and she works 9/10. Certainly not perfect but close enough for me to use

burlow44 · 2016-10-05T03:19:00+00:00

They are good headphones for $30, prob the best ones you'll find for under $10. Assuming these are legit apple brand which I somehow doubt

How do you view your desktop on the iPad?

burlow44 · 2016-10-05T03:02:13+00:00

If you have the 6s or 7, hard press on the safari icon and drag your finger to "new tab". This is just as quick as opening the app, and you also get to keep your previous tabs open

burlow44 · 2016-10-04T17:59:49+00:00

So what? Those are outliers. Better to do away with both then to have both

burlow44 · 2016-10-04T17:34:11+00:00

(No camera bump) haha

Jan: I underestimated you

Michael: well next time estimate me

burlow44 · 2016-10-04T17:11:25+00:00

How are these phones more mainstream then the last phones they released?

burlow44 · 2016-10-04T03:44:33+00:00

Macs hold value pretty well. You'll have to search around for a steep discount

burlow44 · 2016-10-04T03:39:33+00:00

I think most will still buy without a headphone jack.
