Ik woon en werk in een van de 7 Emiraten; Ras-al-Khaimah. Dus, wil je weten hoe het echt zit in Dubai enzo? Dan kan ik daar op basis van ervaring iets over zeggen.
@Alphane_Moon Apple has surprised the world with more than one invention that nobody thought was useful or that many thought already existed but in way cheaper forms.
However, this really seems to be an invention created for someone who insisted on having his own Next Big Thing.
@aeronmelon @LeTak the days of obsessive attention to detail in everything Apple does, where ages ago.
And don’t even get me started on Pages & Numbers.
@misk better hope it’s USB-C.
I now have USB-C cable for my Mac, a lightning cable for my trackpad and a special charger for my AppleWatch. Being trapped in the most expensive eco-system means carrying around three separate cables.
The Huawei watch can be charged by placing it on top of a Huawei mobile. #NoCable
@ClassifiedPancake Also very true. People have no objection against living in the walled garden, as long as everything is there. The Wi-Fi in our house still runs on airport extremes without any issues, and close to 0 installation hassle.
@th3dogcow thanks for the question, this was not meant to ask for help. I know it’s a commodity. I still think there’s a huge base of Apple fans that would be delighted if Apple would make a good printer with calibrated colours, that would connect to your computer as easy as your Apple Watch connects to your iPhone.
@fourish Apple created the Apple Vision Pro for roughly four thousand euro’s. At best 1 million people were waiting for this inspiring device.
They could make a really good printer for €500. About 50 million people would be really interested just to get rid of the never-ending hassle.
A revenue of €25 billion euros in about three years would be easily achievable. Apparently, having your own ‘next big thing’ was more important for Apples decision makers.
@BombOmOm I’m struggling big time with Epson. Completely unpredictable. Works like a dream for a month or two, and then it will take hours to get it working again.
Point being, the iPhone was a reinvention of stuff that was already there. I’d like Apple to reinvent printing.
@Ghostalmedia Siri, specifically in the non-English speaking world, has such an unbelievably bad rap that I really think it’s not going to recover. Apple doesn’t need AI, it needs a bunch of clever If-Then rules. For example, my daugther has a quite familiar name with a diacritical sign on it. I had to correct that 12,312 times before that went OK automatically.
Every day if I hop in my car, I have to switch off the music and start the podcast. How hard is it to learn my habits?
@chemicalwonka @TheRealCharlesEames wasn’t the same thing being sad about a walk-man? introduced by Sony in… let me think……1979, or was it 1980?
Anyway, about 40 years later, we have noise cancelling, and if I look at a regular school or college, I think more than half of the students wear some form of headphones.
