Comment Yes, there are so many alternatives! (Score 1, Insightful) 308

Please tell me more about how you will replace Photoshop with GIMP, Illustrator with Inkscape, After Effects with ... err .. Blender, Premiere with ... hum, AVISynth, maybe? Or yeah, maybe command-line ffmpeg, sure sounds good! Oh and InDesign, you can easily do the same thing in OpenOffice right?

Get with the times, upgrade your 10-year old operating system. You're not running legacy industrial automation software for a production line. Don't expect Adobe to keep supporting 10-year old APIs set for deprecation.

Comment Shitty testing method - results are worthless (Score 0, Troll) 163

Wow, a CPU benchmark on a physics engine? That's the best they could come up with?

My iPhone 6 runs like shit on iOS 11. But not because they slowed down the CPU clock. It's because clicking a text field now takes 200 more milliseconds. Typing a character adds a couple milliseconds. Scrolling happens at 3-4 less frames per second. It now takes at least 5-10 seconds for my camera to start.

If you want a make a real test, why don't you actually write a simple GUI app and make benchmarks on that?

I'm 100% sure that Apple purposely makes old iPhones run like shit. But it's not about adding nops. It's about adding lag to the GUI and forcing people to wait pointlessly all the time.

Comment Is a touch screen really a problem in a Tesla? (Score 1) 177

I know it's easy to start criticising the touch-screen in the Tesla as "dangerous", "not respecting years of research into UI/UX design", etc.

But don't these cars automatically stop or swerve in case of problems? Is it really such a big deal if you take your eyes off the road for a couple of seconds?

Weren't people criticising the iPhone upon launch, saying that buttons were useful and that a touch-only interface with a single button was ridiculous? And now, every phone is the market is just a touch brick.

I'm excited to see what will come next after this car goes mainstream.
