    Preview is one of the best tools Apple has ever built

    Posted: 31 Mar 2019 03:29 PM PDT

    Honestly, Preview is such a versatile and powerful tool. I use it more often than I can possibly imagine for everything from simple tasks like adding some text into a pdf or covering up a small blemish in a picture to consolidating a mass-set of images into a single set.

    I think it gets glossed over when people consider the reasons to buy a Macbook or iMac but it really changes the game for me when I want to make a small edit but don't want to fire up Photoshop or some other expensive and power-hungry program.

    I love that Apple's tribute page for Steve Jobs is still online

    https://www.apple.com/stevejobs/

    Was just reading some old articles and ended up discovering that Apple's tribute page for Steve Jobs is still online, 7.5 years after his death.

    What happened to apps supporting landscape?

    Posted: 31 Mar 2019 08:29 AM PDT

    Maybe I'm just too old, but it seems like since 2012ish most third party developers and some of apples own apps no longer or were never built with landscape functionality.

    It's a strange complaint, I know. But sometimes it's just more enjoyable to use landscape for certain apps. Notes has lost some landscape functionality since "new notes" has released, YouTube lost home feed landscape functionality a lonnng time ago, and heck-Reddit doesn't have it. There's plenty more apps that don't. It's just that when I originally got a 6plus on release I was excited to see that some of its apps and layouts mimic a smaller iPad, I thought it would continue in this direction.

    Regulating AirPods packaging like lightbulb packaging and the Tesla Model 3

    Posted: 31 Mar 2019 09:36 AM PDT

    Would you support a regulation forbidding the sale of battery-powered devices unless the sellers disclose on the package the expected total hours of use time before the battery has suffered 95% degradation?

    There is abundant evidence that many consumers of small battery-operated devices like AirPods neglect to multiply the expected playtime-per-charge by the typical limited number of discharge-recharge cycles.

    Consequently, they fail to estimate expected device lifetime in terms of hours of use. They express surprise and disappointment when it turns out that a device with a calculable service life of twenty-five hundred hours of half-volume audio playback fails after twenty-five hundred hours of half-volume audio playback.

    Lightbulb packages say things like "Twelve years if used three hours per day." Should this kind of information be on the package for AirPods?

    Electric Vehicle (EV) batteries are use-rated, too. The use-rating is in terms of miles, not hours. Steve Dent writes in Engadget:

    Tesla has no battery degradation warranty on its Model S and X luxury EVs, but guarantees that the Model 3 will retain 70 percent battery capacity after 120,000 miles (long-range battery) and 100,000 miles (shorter-range battery). That's a bit more generous than the one Nissan offers on the Leaf (66 percent over 100,000 miles) for instance.

    Should Apple put lifetime listening time information on its headphones' packaging? Should governments require all electrical products with consumable components to state use-ratings on the package?

    If the battery on a device is replaceable, should the manufacturer be allowed to sell it without disclosing on the packaging how many hours of use to expect between replacements?

    iOS Google News app privacy concern

    Posted: 31 Mar 2019 12:59 PM PDT

    Today I noticed something sort of concerning about the Google News app on iOS. I noticed that while you can enable location services in the app, it doesn't give a system prompt like every other app requesting that data does. Also, there is no way to turn this off. In the individual app setting page, in the privacy setting page, and in the app settings itself, there is no way to turn off location services in the Google News app. This is strange to me, and a bit surprising considering the way Apple claims to be protecting user privacy.
