Also a phone that takes landscape video while held vertically.
Two pairs of headphones that join into a single jack, for friends to listen to the same stuff.
iphone with headphone jack
Laptop whose power cable attaches magnetically
Computer keyboard composed of material designed to be pleasant to the touch.
Computer with a battery I can take out easily.
Computer with a body machined out of a single continuous block of aluminum
mp3 player that present a simple file system interface when plugged in via USB to a computer. Want an mp3 on that mp3 player? Just drag n drop. Or use cp command. Or mv. Or any of your favorite methods for moving files onto a mounted drive.
Laptop with an escape key.
Operating system that doesn’t connect to and play my most shameful porn on a random TV somewhere in the vicinity that may or may not include the house of my parents’ neighbors who apparently have an unspoken agreement with my parents to leech off their wifi.
A mac that runs on intel chips
A notifications stream where all of the notifications that appeared on my screen can be found, arranged in chronological order from based on when they appeared on my screen.
Okay now that I think about it, I just want Apple to undo most of their design decisions from the last 15 years.
For your 2 headphones, there are 3.5mm splitters, small devices where you plug in 2 headphones, and plug then into one walkman. Works with any brand of headphones :)
I'm looking for the Bluetooth version of that. Connect the btsplitter to the phone, and two headphones to the splitter. Edit: found easily.
the notification thing already exists on android 11+, settings>notifications>notification history
Oh I know. Android is real software. Max OS is kinda like a video game designed by las vegas.
Mac OS has a “Notification Center”. It’s just that it doesn’t show the actual notifications you’ve seen. It shows some overlapping set, missing notifications that were shown and showing notifications that never were shown. It’s the usual non-solid horseshit so common in UI design these days. It’s like the opposite of Material Design, it’s like Quicksand Design. Take a step backward and end up 100 miles away instead of where you intended to be which is where you were before your last step.
Yes, I love that feature. However, I do wish I could restore a notification from there.
Hey, good news! The newer MacBooks (since like 2 years ago) have rolled back the Touch Bar, gotten back the ol' reliable scissors switches and MagSafe chargers, as well as having enough ports to plug stuff in.
As for arm vs. intel, I'm a huge fan of the arm chips. My largest issue with them is that I need to cross compile for intel chips if I'm distributing an executable or a compiled library.
