I use Notes with my Dovecot IMAP server. It works, but sync is oftentimes VERY slow. You can speed it up by going to the calendar app and refreshing the calendars (which is odd, because my calendars are on a totally separate CALDAV server).

It's been like this for many years. I realize I'm in the minority of notes users but reporting the bug doesn't seem to help much either.

Messages "delete" always says it will delete from all devices but never does. It can take HOURS for a device that was dead/off/disconnected to "catch up" with the global state of an iMessage count. Search is *horribly* broken (Chatology used to be a great third party tool for that but was discontinued). If you're scrolling back looking for a message and you receive a new one from the same person the UI jumps to the new message. They removed the two-finger slide left to reveal message time, instead opting for a two finger tap "show times" that disappears after you send another message.

There are so many dumb little bugs in the OS and they persist for years. Sadly, they're still (IMO) the best compared to the alternatives.

Phone mirroring is nice but there's no brains behind it. Discord on my laptop pops up a notification, then Discord on my phone pops up the same notification over top of the one the desktop just displayed. Hoping this kind of obvious feature would be fixed soon but considering that the "feature" where if you have two or more calendar reminders pop up they get grouped together and the dismiss button changes to "dismiss all" is still present several updates later doesn't exactly fill me with hope.

It certainly feels like Apple has foregone all user testing and are shitting out new features that are arguably great but poorly implemented.

That's exactly what I'm referring to, yes. Mind you I'm an EE so for someone like myself it is trivial to populate the connector, four 0402 or 0201 caps and rig up something to supply power. I find myself occasionally thinking "oh that's easy" without considering why it's easy for someone like myself.

it has an unpopulated M2 connector and power supply; someone has already got it working. I assume they'll populate it in a minor spin.

a raw disk is a plain old block device. They made special provision to pass through USB devices, but I cannot attach an arbitrary PCIe or TB device. (This is also on intel OSX) -- Hyve can't do it, Parallels can't do it, VirtualBox can't do it, VMWare Fusion can't do it. The ability to pass through these kinds of devices appears to be disabled in the kernel.

I'd be happy to be wrong, but I am pretty sure I'm not.

it'd be nice if they stopped cripping the hypervisor -- I can't export a PCIe or TB device to a VM because the host kernel disallows it.

agreed; I don't want thinner, but I do want flatter. Make the phone as thick as the lenses so the damn thing lies flat and fill that extra volume with battery. And USB C, and bring back the 'mini' form factor. I hate these phablets and am hoping my 13 mini will last until they come to their senses, like my 2011 air lasted until they abandoned their idiotic butterfly keyboard design.

Has VirtualBox ever gotten around to fixing the absolutely terrible network performance on guests with shared host drives/paths? They had that bug for many, many years.

Screw windows 12 etc, I've been using Fusion for many years and it works very well. I just wish those fuckers would release a virtual mouse driver for Windows 7 VMs that allowed proper trackpad movement within the VM. Like you, I sense that the giving away of Fusion/Workstation is the start of the end.

I have access to FM radio but just ... don't use it. Not in probably over a decade now. Might be nice for alerts/etc. but I can't think of a reason I'd want it on my phone. If I'm in a situation where radio might be the best option, I have the little emergency radio in my kit, which also incidentally has an HT and foldable whip antenna for two-way communications.

No we're pretty savvy. We all have our biases and sometimes they make it out in public.

You don't get to come back a year (or a century) later and say, "Hey, I just found out what that painting is actually worth. Give it back."

Actually... Why not? You said yourself you're in the wrong and you certainly acted in bad faith, so why shouldn't your victim have their demand to annul the deal enforced?

As opposed to people with nativist and inward looking views, companies like Apple HAVE to work overseas, and if you keep following the US govt kool-aid, then you will only be able to do business with Western Europe and other allies.

Try to understand that a big part of the world actually sees the US as the big bad empire that they portray China to be and it makes sense that they ask Stewart to tone it down a bit.

It's not that China is a big bad empire, it's that Xi is an emperor who's unable to placate his people with promises of a better tomorrow due to China's economy having caught up enough that the rubber band has gone slack and dictatorships being inherently incompatible with the rule of law which a strong economy requires, so his only hope for survival is to placate them with promises of glory which makes a confrontation with China and West pretty much inevitable, and Xi knows that. It's the same deal as with Russia, US is simply being wiser than EU was.

Basically, what's business to Apple is a weapon to China, and China is a fundamentally hostile nation to anyone who doesn't think Xi would make a great world leader, which he wouldn't judging by everything I know about life in China and also because he's a genocidal tyrant. That's not "nativist" or "inward looking", that's simply realism.

I recently saw a very insightful interview where dictatorships are defined by things you cannot criticize, like the CCP in China, Kim Jong-un in Korea, etc. In the US the thing that will absolutely get you canceled will be talking about the Israeli lobby and the influence such a small group holds over US culture in general.

Seriously? You're equating getting canceled with getting disappeared?

Note that such a system would also prevent Slashdot from leaning left and censoring conservatives, which they're doing now by institution an idiotic "karma". Slashdot karma is all about politics. And Slashdot is left leaning. One could express that cutely as "CowboyNeal is an imbecile".

But you're not being censored. Your comment is right here, readable for all who care to engage with users with bad reputation. That you have managed to earn a bad reputation through your own actions does not reflect badly on Slashdot or CowboyNeal, it reflects badly on you. It is the consequence of your actions, in other words, your karma.

That most people ignore you doesn't mean you're being censored, it just means that they think you and your opinions are not worth listening to. That your response to this is that the government should force them to pay attention just serves to demonstrate that their judgement is completely right. It's not a political judgement, it's a judgement about you as a person.

Given your vitriol here, I think you know that too, and judging by the fact that you keep posting on Slashdot despite hating the place I doubt you're more welcome elsewhere either. So perhaps you should reflect on the only common factor for a change, try to see your self from other people's eyes and maybe, just maybe accept that you might actually be the one who's in the wrong and needs to change? It's painful, but so is eternal bitterness, and there is no government big enough to make other people like you, so those are your options.
