They couldn't have it bend 90 degrees because that would make it incompatible with cases necessitated by the tablet's low impact tolerance. And a joint for optional bending would increase manufacturing costs too much. Do they at least sell a cable for it?

Is anyone else disappointed the new MacBook is a 16:9 resolution with the sides cut off instead of a standard 16:10? I'd much rather they left the sides on. 2560 x 1600 is better than 2560 x 1440, but 2304 ×1440 is just shit.

>>54883275
Depends on how I'm feeling.
>>
>>54883266
Is minimalism as inconvenient and expensive as it looks? You have to hire tradesmen for every little thing? Or do you buy the needed stuff and then get rid of it when that happens to cheaper? Are you allowed to own a blender? Or do you need to go buy a smoothie every time you want one?

Or is it just poorfriend rationalization?

>>
>>54882759
What the hell even is it
>>
>>54883312
I started my minimalist lifestyle about a year and a half ago and I've saved about 26k since then. You can own anything that you want but I try to keep it under 100 items including clothes and toiletries. A good rule of thumb is "Don't own anything that you don't find useful or exceptionally beautiful". I am not a poorfag, I just prefer an uncluttered life. For a long time I let my desire for bullshit I didn't need fuel how I lived and it's a great feeling to be free of that.

I'm honestly jealous.
My room is a mess because of my nostalgic hoarding.
>>
>>54883262
WHAT
>>
>>54883403
You don't have to be jealous, if you want this kind of lifestyle it's easy to achieve. The day before I made the decision to become a minimalist I owned nearly 2000 physical video games, no joke. I sold them all in a lot to a local game store the next day and it blew my mind how much space it freed up and also how much money I made off them. They were all things I bought because of "muh nostalgia" but I still have all of those games on a HDD that takes up no space at all (I count my computer as 1 item) and I'm a few thousand dollars richer. If you want to do it anon, just do it. Best decision I've made. The added bonus is that it's easy as fuck to keep everything pristinely clean.
>>
>>54883363
I have thousands of items I make regular use of. You must not do much.
>>
>>54883456
I would hate myself so much if I throw this shit out though.
I've kept my first cpu, first smartphone, my first high end gpu(8800 ultra).
>>
>>54883477
Minimalising your lifestyle goes hand in hand with reducing the shit you own. Not to be rude but if you honestly believe that a person who owns less, does less than perhaps the things you own instead own you.
>>
There's two kinds of people:

Person A owns a lot of shit. He uses a lot of it and cannot stay productive unless if he has a lot of options.

Person B doesn't own a lot, he likes it this way because there is less to distract him and he can stay focused with what he's used to.
>>
>>54883495
Letting go of things is difficult but you'll always have the memories, even without the physical item. As I get deeper into my late 20s I've started to realize how nostalgia can be like cancer if you're not careful with it.

I too bought a bunch of cables once. got them off ebay.

I'd say 1/3 didn't work on day 1. the rest slowly became less reliable for various reasons (either not registering a connection or triggering the device to say that it might not work properly).

just get a few good anker cables. i've never had a problem with them, they feel more durable, and they're cheaper.

i honestly dislike apple but the zealotry on /g/ is cancerous.

there are people who have measured criticism of apple because of what they've done over the years and the negative influence they've had on various markets. those voices are overwhelmed by pajeets on /g/ who have autistic tantrums over anything apple related. and if you point out that their autism is a little overboard, you get labeled a shill

I'm reading this and 2 things are emerging:
1) it's incredibly outdated - there's reference to Netscape, for one thing.
2) it's not clear that this is proving anything about shilling on forums. the charter sounds more like a reaffirmation that they need developers to make stuff for windows, which would mean paying developers to make windows versions of software or something.

4chan has a proven (and i mean that literally) track record of not getting software shipped. does anyone remember the hapless /g/-meme operating system?

Can you explain to me why any company would send review units to media outlets which write negatively about it?
>>
>>54902777
Most companies send products to whoever requests it because they have confidence in their products.

Applel KNOWS their products are total shit and can't stand scrutiny, thus try to suppress and manipulate the media to their own ends.
>>
>>54902777
not him but hubris possibly? thinking they'll get a good review because they think the product is good? or some vague misunderstanding about the relationship (thinking, for instance, that the review unit is theirs to keep on the unspoken agreement that the review will be favorable)?

this sounds like pretty extreme martyr complex

That's because they use a cheaper, more rigid, plastic.
>>
>>54903010
So what you're saying is it's cheaper and better.
>>
>>54882428
You guys know apple will overnight you a new cable if you call or email them about this issue right? It's well documented and has to do with the gauge wire they use. Which is actually more expensive to work with than a thicker gauge. It's done purely for aesthetic reasons and they have been researching a new alloy to use for the internal wiring. Yeah it's dumb and they could just use a thicker gauge but I can understand them not wanting to compromise on their vision. Even if it is dumb.

Considering their minuscule market share in every product category and massive margins and overpricing, the one time cons are exactly what they're going for.

In some ways.

The Chinese cable is probably 26 or 28 awg so it'll charge slower and the wires inside will wear out quicker. But the apple ones are pretty shit too so just save your money with the cheap ones.
>>
>>54902945
>you can only get fooled once this way
Considering how many "record breaking sales years" they have yet their marketshare remains microscopic, I'd say they're just burning through customers because as >>54903069 said, they make a huge profit off each sale. It doesn't matter how many customers they burn as long as they keep control of the media and can keep generating new customers/suckers.

Except they don't.

Every major manufacturer sends their laptops to whoever asks and each of them have been ripped apart more than once on some reviews yet still provide review units. They'll pick apart annoyances one some laptop, but when the Apple equivalent comes along and has the same problem, it gets conveniently swept under the rug so they can maintain their page hits and review unit access.

It isn't until weeks later after mainstream launch that sites like notebookcheck gets their hands on a macbook and fully disclose all the overheating, throttling, color accuracy problems, etc.

are you sure the glass isn't shifting the light at the angle that photo is being taken?

>>54903632
>>54903619
they probably came off the same assembly line, but factories do this thing called quality check, which prevents the obviously faulty cables from making it into retail packaging. if testing reveals that a cable is already starting to deteriorate (maybe it's not non-functional *now*, but predicted to go bad in ~4 months), then the factory might just consider it a reject.

those cables have all been made, though, and you can imagine that the ones that *do* work might work for years if used reasonably carefully. tolerances for proper cables are very high. reasonably so, but still, the point is that a cable that maybe should get rejected by QC standards might actually be usable to someone willing to pay 10% or even 1% for it.

you all might not have been aware at the time, but lenovo manufactured Thinkpads for something like a decade or longer BEFORE IBM sold the brand to lenovo. the differences were just
1) lenovo didn't brand it, and
2) IBM had very strict thresholds on quality control parameters.

only really good thinkpads made it out of the factory. if a unit came up short in any way, it wouldn't have made it to the consumer. the same was true for a few years after lenovo got the thinkpad brand (it was one of IBM's terms, that they would maintain the quality standards), but after 3 years or something lenovo was allowed to set their own standards for QC, which is why thinkpads are generally perceived to be lower quality now than they were when IBM was in charge.

if you had said the first part of that in your original post, you might have imparted some credibility. adding "lol" just sounds like you're trying really hard to be nonchalant about this fictitious qualification that you just made up.

at this point, i think you should just accept that you're not going to convince people on 4chan that you know what you're talking about. if you wanted to be persuasive, you should have led with the bona fides and not been such an unlikable shit. use these tips for next time.
