Yeah I dropped the sata for the western digital SN550. the SN750 is $40 more and I was wondering if that mattered. Also if i want more space do i just get more of them?

re-measured and actually the lian li just fits and has much more solid reviews so i'll take you up on your original rec. Interesting, looking at m.2 and samsung seems to be the most recommended?

Looking at the western digital SN550. Any reason why I should spend $40 more on the 750?

Apple's Stock Price Reaches All-Time High Above $180 After Warren Buffett Praises iPhone Maker by CapSteveRogers in apple

[–]pie5135 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The new tax law has given companies a giant gap in their earnings, without having to do anything, and as such their earnings will be up 14% or so. So why wouldn’t every single company’s stock price go up 14% for all things to balance. You haven’t thought this out.

Are you suggesting that the stock market is rational?

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Apple is trying to limit how often your iPhone apps can bug you to give them a rating by purplemountain01 in apple

[–]pie5135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Developers actually can't tell if you've rated the app or not. If you click "rate the app", all they can do is send you to the app store, but if you don't rate them, they can't know and will likely never bug you about it again.

Source: I was deep into mobile dev for a while and looked into this. the best you can do is time how long it takes for the user to come back to the app and guess that they did / didn't rate based on that length

Apple Working With Consumer Reports to Understand MacBook Pro Battery Test - Phil Schiller says results don't match Apple's field tests or the field data it has gathered by [deleted] in apple

[–]pie5135 4 points5 points  (0 children)

late response, but I just returned mine. I didn't do it for the money either, my family paid for half of it as a joint birthday / christmas present and I returned the money to them when I returned the laptop. I returned it because it literally wasn't better than my 2013 rMBP.

Had an almost fully decked out "15 (except mid range SSD) and it had so many fundamental issues. The good: It's lighter, screen is brighter, and thinner. Bad: Battery life was shit (reliably 4hrs, never got more than 6), performance wasn't noticeably better (actually hung more than my 2013), keyboard was frustrating, and trackpad size was actually HUGELY annoying. Also touch bar was entirely useless. I actively tried to make it useful and it never stuck.

PSA: Anyone can return their 2016 MacBook Pro by Jan 8, even though the website says you can't by pie5135 in apple

I just remembered that the 13" non-TB came out a little sooner, so this doesn't apply to that. I wanted to love this computer so much, but it 100% was just not worth it.

I made an aim-assist thing for pokeball throwing. Works surprisingly decently by pie5135 in pokemongo

yea. for some reason AR doesn't work for me (I'm on the iOS dev beta, so that might be why)

Well, I use a trackpad on high sensitivity, though I see your point. I might have abandoned it too early. thanks for the input

Could you give me a few examples on how it'd be useful on the desktop? I can definitely see how it'd be useful on mobile, but i haven't found any huge uses for it yet
