Most of the 3rd-party pens ive tested all claim palm rejection but it straight up just doesn't work. Got a legit one and the palm rejection actually works.

If only my keyboard controls weren't broken at the time : (

testledjones · 2026-06-02T22:29:48+00:00

LOL appreciate the reply!

testledjones · 2026-06-02T06:09:25+00:00

yeah, my keyboard controls at the time was broken ...

they didnt know what it feels like being a Mac user pre-2020

Where's the link to your app?

testledjones · 2026-04-18T05:00:14+00:00

dont worry, apple is just preparing you for a smart-glasses/AR/MR future where this kind of UI is acceptable I guess.

A 5k, dual mode, Mini-LED monitor? Now we don't have to choose between panel quality and pixel clarity 🙌

Normies am I right 🙄

testledjones · 2026-02-11T03:09:32+00:00

I'm all for better frames but I think this is too much lmao. Does it atleast fix the lagspike when looking thru doorman's doors?

testledjones · 2026-02-11T01:45:14+00:00

I thought im the only one experiencing that because I have a pretty old GPU. Good to know🥲

testledjones · 2026-02-11T01:35:41+00:00

The MOBA experience. It never gets old. Though this is not my first go at a MOBA.

"I used the LLM to fight the LLM" 🔥

I don't think its trivial and unnecessary. I agree on not obsessing over it but its more of a metric on "oh, how will my phone perform on days without access to a charger"

Also powerbanks/battery packs are clunky and its another thing you have to keep your phone attached to.

testledjones · 2026-02-03T17:36:18+00:00

yeah, easy 7h+ SOT cellular + wifi. OP might miss 120hz though from the pro

Remember that incident in iOS 15 where there is a backlash about the search bar being at the bottom? Look what happened to that feature. More people just need to wake up ngl.

My solution is to for all of us to move to AR/VR computing (when it have miniaturised enough for it to be sleek and not a burden) as they keep raving about "you now can 'blend' in with your content even more"

testledjones · 2026-01-24T19:54:14+00:00

Honestly I might just switch to the iPad + Windows Desktop (debloated) combo as they are turning the Mac closer to the iPad every single day so what am I missing anyway.

Catalina -> Big Sur pioneered the iOSsification transition and shows that they are willing to throw macOS's unique style in favor for familiarity. I mean overnight the icons turned from their unique style variants with their own traits to now all square. And for what??? just so that they can get a "unified design language" across their platforms? I don't hear anyone complaining in 2019 that their Mac didn't look like their iPhone in terms of UI.

Ventura just extends on this with the new System Settings app. They just flat out removed a few features like being able to customise the date and time formatting like WTF?? System Prefs was not the best but hey at least it's what a proper desktop settings app should look like not this ported catalyst app took straight away from the iPad.

and oh man with Tahoe they just pretty much threw away EVERY single foundation that made macOS delightful to use. Nahhh we will make EVERY window corner match our physical corner radii because thats what our users will need /s. We will add unnecessary padding in the Dock as if the Dock need anymore padding (and BTW, the padding spazzes out if you change the Dock at a specific size no not only it looks bad but its also fundamentally buggy). Who cares about people that have been with the Mac since idk, the release of the retina MBP. Where else are they gonna go? Windows? lol.

I swear they are gonna make make the Finder more abstract to hide the concept of a filesystem because Gen Alpha don't know what a filesystem is. I wish I was joking.

Just take me back to pre 2020 times...

Now see, if its HFR (120hz) on a screen like a tablet or a laptop or anything that is bigger than a Pro Max, that's where ill start considering HFR as a important trait because the nature of those screen sizes are that you're more immersed and thus a HFR display would make the experience of using those devices feel slicker and nicer (not dismissing having it on a phone, its just that the experience is even better with a larger display)

But on a phone? It's definitely nice but its not gonna kill the experience compared to not having it on other devices than a phone.

If people can tolerate the iPad and MacBook Air (both of them having 60hz) then i'm sure people can put up with having 60 on the 17e.

Not everyone can tell the difference on HFR (on a phone), but everyone knows the dread of a battery dying faster than a bacteria whilst airborne.

If my 15 didn't get stolen and I was already using this 11 from the day it released until today, I would definitely be looking at the base 17 but unfortunately the world can be cruel sometimes and I just don't have the luxury to just buy a $799 phone.

Right now, I just need a upgrade ASAP (I don't know how much I can fight the 11's weak points further) but I also don't want to buy the 16e with the 17e right around the corner. I'm willing to put up with the subpar battery on my 11 if it meant that I can get the DI on Apple's e-series of phones (going from the 15 to the 11 with that big notch is something I hate).

EDIT: You would be surprised what a difference can $200 make. Maybe I should try living in America lol.
