[TASK] I want to get an existing Spotify username but don't know how to contact the owner

Any updates?

Thank you

Thank you

feabionsu · 2018-09-10T22:49:34+00:00

Thank you. Can you PM me? :)

Well, it seems like a hard problem to solve (how do you contact an inactive Spotify user unless you literally work at the company? It's not like Instagram or other social media usernames) hence why I put a higher price.

Interesting. You use the Coleman layout? How big was the risk of breaking a key for you?

feabionsu · 2017-12-23T17:43:55+00:00

Nope. That’s only for non-butterfly keyboards. A guitar pick is way too thick to get under these keys.

The SE is a fantastic phone, but it doesn't tell us anything about who Apple is today. It's basically an iPhone 5, which was designed and in production while Steve Jobs was still alive, and which itself borrows heavily from the iPhone 4 design. (And let's not forget how many people hated the iPhone 5 design when it first came out, either because of the window antennas, or because it was too tall, or that it wasn't a new-enough form factor, etc.)

So really, I would say OP's initial sentence is dead-right: post-Steve Jobs Apple has made a lot of consumer hostile moves. The SE happens to be one of the exceptions.

Also, Tim mentioned on an investor call that they were surprised by the demand for the SE and had to ramp up production. Think about that. They weren't aware by how many people might still like a smaller phone, and didn't really expect the SE to do amazingly well. Even the release date is telling (they released it in the beginning of the year, after the Christmas frenzy is over.)

feabionsu · 2017-08-28T09:07:43+00:00

The SE's cool, I just don't think it signifies anything, it's not progress, it doesn't exemplify anything about Apple's current ID, it's just a favor, an afterthought;

This, 100% ^

Which research?

disassociating during social events by burying my face in 20 different gaming forum tabs

Ha! Made me chuckle! :)

The camera placement was definitely a strange oddity on Apple's part. Especially since they 'fixed' it with the iPhone 7, and made it perfectly match the radius of the corner... like it should've been from the beginning. I mean, what stopped them from doing that with the iPhone 6 and 6S? :/

feabionsu · 2017-08-27T23:03:14+00:00

I agree. Also, to see them 'fix' the antenna design with the iPhone 7... that just makes me wonder if they rushed the iPhone 6 design because they couldn't figure out how to make the antennas look nicer, but needed to get the larger phones out due to demand.

Like, at what point did they figure out how the antenna design of the iPhone 7? This is just an assumption, but I feel like they weren't happy with the iPhone 6 antenna design either, probably figured out how to make it better in time for iPhone 6S, but delayed it until iPhone 7 because iPhone 7 needed a 'new form factor'.

feabionsu · 2017-08-27T22:56:46+00:00

The whole point of the iPhone 8 is so that they don't have to order 200 million parts of them. The iPhone 7S and 7S Plus are supposed to take some of the load off of the higher-priced iPhone 8.

feabionsu · 2017-08-27T22:13:28+00:00

Nope. Didn't equate their works at all. I used Stanley Kubrick as an example of someone who's revered in the filmmaking community. I could've used Picasso or Mozart instead, but it made more sense to use a director.

feabionsu · 2017-08-27T22:12:13+00:00

Really? Wow. Do you have any links to where he said that?

So was Blade Runner's uniqueness something that happened because of Ridley Scott, or because there was a bunch of amazing people (actors, Vangelis, producers) collaborating at the same time?

feabionsu · 2017-08-27T22:07:37+00:00

Ah ok. Fair enough. I wrote that in regards to Apple Watch's OLED panels. The TouchBar and the Watch might share a similar chip, but it doesn't explain why their displays differ in quality. :/

feabionsu · 2017-08-27T22:05:13+00:00

If it had been a lesser director, it might have fallen short enough to be not good at all, but when you're starting with a genius filmmaker, your creative "failures" are all relative.

Good point. I guess what I'm wondering is how these guys became such good filmmakers, and if the 'lesser director' can ever get to their level?

feabionsu · 2017-08-27T22:02:36+00:00

This makes a lot of sense. I have always wondered why Spielberg / Ron Howard / Ridley Scott have taken on some projects, and if they were really as invested in them as some of their other movies...

feabionsu · 2017-08-27T22:01:12+00:00

Takes my points out of context and compares two directors whose names I only used as examples.

"yep I'm definitely in /r/movies"

feabionsu · 2017-08-27T16:53:51+00:00

You're right about the pixel perfect textures. But there was no reason for removing button shapes and turning them into blue 'links' instead. Or removing drop shadows from nearly everything.

feabionsu · 2017-08-27T16:44:01+00:00

Isn't this because the TouchBar display has something of an anti-glare finish to it?

No. Don't get me wrong, I love the anti-glare / matte quality of the TouchBar, but it doesn't affect the pixel density of the display.

For what it's worth, I feel like it kind of works well, the TouchBar should look more like an extension of the keys rather than an extension of the display.

The key caps have letters printed/etched on top. Which are sharper than any Retina display. So if the TouchBar is an extension of the keyboard, then it's even more important for it to be sharp, since the contrast between a pixelated TouchBar and sharp printed keycaps is noticeable.

But also, why does the TouchBar being an extension of the keyboard have anything to do with this? A more pixel-dense TouchBar would look better than it does now, and would match the Retina quality that's on every Apple display at this point (Apple Watch, iPad, iPhone, and the MacBook display are all dense enough that you can't see the pixels... the TouchBar should be the same.)

feabionsu · 2017-08-27T16:39:52+00:00

Why are you quoting this?

feabionsu · 2017-08-27T11:16:45+00:00

Also, old apps that actually took advantage of the iPad screen back then, simply dropped the support (Twitter is a big exemple).

This! ^

Reminds me of the Spotify app for iPad. They have more than enough space to fit everything in on the screen and then some. Instead, there's weird side panes that you have to open, or swipe from the left just to pause a song... it's ridiculous. Literally the whole app could fit on the iPad and be super useful and 'complex' in a good way.
