I suppose 3d instead of 2d with destructible paths adds to the complexity

Isn't Apple also famous for not offering replacement parts other than replacing the whole thing and charging you accordingly?

In some cases yes, but having used Macs for decades and also working in companies with Macs for all the developers one thing is clear; these things don't easily break. Built extremely well.

(One exception being the GPU issues a few years back though on Intel MBP's)

Can you provide any more objective support outside of your obvious Apple fan vibes?

Other than that whole butterfly keyboard on their laptops for several years, culimnating in a $50 million class-action lawsuit for laptops between 2015 and 2019, totally!

No, wait, there was also bend gate and the iphone battery thing as well.

Uhhhh something about airpod ANC crackling.

There's more I'm forgetting.

God why do I keep buying Apple shit. I'm in a toxic relationship with an abuser.

you sound as grumpy as my cat looks. there's no need for this language

In times of AI this doesn't sound lije the ideal solution either

+1, I feel exactly the same

>I could equally go find someone crazy saying the world is going to end this year.

Given current events, one doesn't have to be crazy to believe this

they had this in "the 5th element"

to be fair, things also break on windows if you use their online services

They are using OCR for selecting plain text?

It's possible to use the Gemini "ask me about this screen" to OCR the selected area of the screenshot. I guess that might be more efficient in some contexts then trying to use the native text select.

On iPhone too, taking a screenshot is the single reliable way to select text.

It becomes possible. Getting the handles to move correctly is still often a frustrating experience.

At least it's not AI... yet.

Multi-modal LLMs like Gemini are better than traditional OCR in most ways.

It is a poor person, sitting in a 3rd world country, thanscribing the text in your clipboard. See Alexa for details. /s

I'm only half joking.

There’s an API (Actually People Implemented) for that.

A lot of people drive fine when they are drunk.
