Comment Less devices (Score 1) 46

Honestly, I would like less devices in my life, not more. I already have to carry, charge, take care and keep track of my: phone, watch, laptop. I would like my phone to replace my laptop someday and I'm encouraged by the recent developments in desktop mode in Android and wish that comes to the iPhone as well soon enough. What I DON'T WANT is yet another device :)

Comment Multi factor does not mean multi device (Score 1) 164

Iâ(TM)ve said it before and Iâ(TM)ll keep saying it. Multi factor does not mean multi device. We shouldnâ(TM)t need a secondary device to login to the first one. Also, how does it work when you want to login on your phone in the first place? How does you scan a QR code with the camera from the same phone? ðY

Comment Re: Why you should stop making assumptions (Score 1) 77

I agree. I turn off motion smoothness but other than that, the brightness setting for FMM doesnâ(TM)t take into account your ambient lighting. I also find it absurd that FMM uses static tone mapping and itâ(TM)s like telling you what volume you should listen to the audio at. If you are not at the cinema, you will have all kinds of conditions at home. Maybe you need higher brightness, maybe lower, maybe you need the audio at higher volume, etc. FMM is stupid!

"People want overlapping windows, a desktop of folders, infinitely resizable windows" - nope. I always maximize my windows (you can't actually do anything productive unless on a big external display, so what's the point?!) and I never have anything on my desktop (the file manager is always on my dock, why would I minimize every single window to reach the desktop when I have the dock?).

Comment iPad OS (Score 1) 128

iPad OS is what holds the iPad back. I agree. I had one for a while but then sold it and realized I could do the same things on my phone and even more (WhatsApp doesnâ(TM)t work on the iPad, for example). For those of you who argue itâ(TM)s better than a phone only because itâ(TM)s bigger and thatâ(TM)s enough, compare this to having 2 different sized laptops or phones. Does it make sense to spend money on those? Maybe, if you have plenty of it and nothing else to spend it on..

Comment Nope (Score -1) 174

Software must evolve. Same as people's needs and routines. I like to think (maybe it's not always the case) that if a button is moved it's because there was some research behind it and the users asked for it. Other than that, I think some people are just living in the past. Or they're the minority that the changes I mentioned don't apply to.
