And yet Microsoft somehow decided an ARM-based tablet running "Windows" was a good idea, same with Windows 10 S...

 

Or go back to the 90's when Cyrix made a decent P5 competitor and used a 486-era FPU which killed the chip in some applications and was really the beginning of the end for them.

 

Or how about AMD relying on a CPU which wasn't a whole lot better than its predecessor for so long that it was hilarious?

 

Every company pulls a Dumbo and trips up.

I think Intel giving up the opportunity to make iphone CPUs is hard to top.

I think we're all still thinking too small honestly... think how well Microsoft was doing in the 90s.  If they were actually visionaries in the slightest, they would have seen where things were going and basically became everything google is today, in addition to what they already had.  Now that's a big missed opportunity.

I could go on... 

you could go on and on, but we all know MS are infallible and only produce absolute precision products that are above reproach.  So I will just ignore the harsh and unfair things you say.

I think the truth is their best engineers have actually moved over to the mobile division and so their desktop OS is lacking... Level1Techs have mentioned this numerous times in the past when there have been other stories of issues with MacOS

I wondered why there are more people complaining about iphones recently.  They should have just hired the WP team and kept their engineers working on the garbage can.

Except that the difference is that apple are derr brains and you would know about all the other stuff if the apple fanboys didn't go looking for it to post all over the Internet. 

Yes, and you're making your argument oh so much better by spewing crap and providing cock all to reinforce anything.

It's very hard to find evidence to support sarcastic humour, sorry

Just getting in before the apple haters, it might take the wind out of their sails if they are mocked before they even begin.

 

Sorry, I though the sarcasm was strong enough not to require the /s tag

I'm not going to try to speculate on what percentage of previously posted hate for any particular company was justified, but I will say I've never read something more illogical and absurd than what you posted above.

Boi on LTT you see so much questionable shit that sometimes you start to wonder if the noose in your closet might get dusted off...

 

To hang your keyboard cuz you spilled water on it. The hell were you thinking? Morbid fuck.

  Then I don't know what's worse,  the fact that I look like a madman, or the fact that in my attempt to be a stupidly over the top apple hater, some people have thought that I was actually just an average forum apple hater.  The later being a really sad indictment on them.

 

Although I do admit to being a Morbid fuck sometimes.

The latter, definitely.  At this point nothing surprises me anymore so any and all sarcasm really does need to be marked.

I'm reminded of that bug in windows where you could get help from the login screen and ask for a command line and then open one and so on

you can still make sticky keys throw you a command prompt on the login screen that has absolute admin rights. You could back on 7 use the automatic repair to even make it do it, but now i havent found a way to do it without either a live linux distro or some other log in to the computer.

Does any of this really matter? Last time I knew, it is easier to reset/remove a Mac OS login password than it is to do the same thing through CMD on Windows....

 

So, if I really wanted to log into a Mac, I could do that. And thankfully, no one I've met has used the same login password that they also use for iTunes... So luckily have that separation... Maybe if they did a thing like Windows where the password cannot be manipulated if it's tied to a cloud account....

if you use a MS account to log in i dont think comand prompt has any power over it, but you can also just create a new account with full admin rights using it to log in and do whatever as a local admin. i never got much of a chance at getting at the higher level network admin accounts while i was still in 9th grade and we were using Windows 7 buissnes which ironicaly is the easiest version to get into

That wasn't really so much of a bug though, more like a bad implementation of the "help" feature.

That's the second major security issue in High Sierra. Seems Apple has been rushing their latest OS offerings.

 

They just released an update for macOS. Does anyone know if it fixed either of them? The description is really vague.

I don't have a Mac at the moment but with iOS 11, I agree that it's the buggiest iOS release just yet. My iPhone is draining battery faster than it was with iOS 10.3.3.

[Master Disaster]

Already patched? Apple issued an update earlier with a new APFS.efi driver. Had to update the EFI partition on my Hackintosh with the new file after the update installed.

What bugs? I've been running iOS 11 since the day 1 release and haven't noticed any issues with battery life or any other issues. Although it is a bit hard to notice battery life issues without directly testing them -- especially since I don't charge my phone daily and don't really keep track of what time I charged it the day before.

My iPhone’s battery life is better with iOS 10.3.3.

Yupp... Just boot to windows CD

backup utilman.exe

copy cmd.exe over utilman.exe

Boot windows and press accessibility button and administrative CMD opens.

Create a user. add them to administrators group. and your are done my friend... Revert the changes above using the backup.

*do your own research if you try this. Some say it has been patched, but i have done this recently on Win10*

 

You may have already knew, but just for anyone who didn't.... its like 5 steps on windows... lol

Have you noticed anything where if you received an iMessage text when you had service but then lost service you would then receive the same text again in the form of an SMS when you regained service? I haven't done any extensive testing -- just going on/off the subway, but I don't recall ever having that happen before.
