I really hate how wide the WATCH has gotten relative to the narrow bands.
The Series 10-11 sticks out like a sore thumb on my wrist compared to an original ("series 0").
I think this would be resolved by having wider bands. I have one that is a little wider (right image) and it is the only band I find acceptable to wear in public.
(The Ultra has wider bands compatible with the larger size class, but the smaller 38/40/41/42 doesn't work with these)
Can someone please make wider bands?!
Steve Troughton-SmithIn hindsight, maybe attempting to replace CoreAnimation, CoreGraphics, AppKit, UIKit, and Interface Builder — the enabling technologies of some of the most successful operating systems in history — all in one fell swoop with a single black box framework — intended to make watch apps — wasn't the greatest of ideas 👀
Who could have possibly predicted this?
Jeff JohnsonAny credential system that makes it impossible to write something down on a piece of paper, take it to a new computer, and login to a website is just a gateway to vendor lock-in.
And don’t tell me that we can “securely transfer” the credential from one vendor to another, because that’s just a lock-in syndicate.
The “something” doesn’t have to be a password! It could be a UUID. It could be Base64. But “you’ll get nothing and like it” is not an acceptable alternative.
I heard that Mark Zuckerberg hates Liquid Glass as much as the rest of us, and gave Alan Dye a pile of cash to stop messing up macOS.
@me1000 Also I keep it always on low power mode.
@me1000 I tried an Air and returned it; I'm just going to stay on the 13 mini and replace the battery soon. I also have kept iOS 18 on it, so that helps.
It is really disappointing to me how outdated I have to be to get a reasonable software+hardware experience.
