after 15 years, iOS has finally caught up with all the main android features, such as

  • very mid ui design
  • kinda floaty feeling
  • unpolished vibe android itself has progressed little, although it is rapidly achieving feature parity with iOS on "locked down user hostility". overall both ecosystems look very appealing, energetic, and healthy, for shareholders

IOS is soon to recognize that data can be stored in these things called "files" that are located in what's called a "folder" and maybe the user can even decide where on this thing called a "hard drive" these "files" and "folders" are located instead of typing into a random search bar.

    I get unbelievably angry using an iPad now. They've completely fucked up the file system and its impossible to know where anything is. By design. I hate modern computing so much.

    It's always been like that. I had one of the first ipads as part of a trial to see if they were useful for grading papers in grad school. No. It was completely fucking useless because the only way to open files for editing was through sixteen shitty cloud services that each app wanted you to use. There was no way to just download files, edit them, and then put them back on blackboard like a normal fucking computer. The whole ordeal actually made me angry.

    Basically the only apple mobile device I actually used was a gen 1 iPod touch I instantly jailbroke so I'm not super familiar. I use a Mac mini only for music but osx is getting so shitty now I'm wanting to change again or go back to 10.5 lol.

    Got a powermac g4 cuz I wanted one again (and it came with a CRT monitor I wanted) and I was blown away how smooth it runs with 512 mb of ram. We have truly gone downhill a long fucking way in 20 years. I remember when I was optimistic about tech.

    The iOS devices are technically computers, but they still feel like toys no matter how pro they are claimed to be. There’s nothing pro about any of these ridiculous limits. It’s just regular low-grade consumer trash. Hardly any of this really works the way a computer should.

    Fucking idiotic.

    Imagine being a kid growing up today with this type of computing. Its zero surprise so many kids are absolute dolts.

    Not to "My generation good other generations bad," but Millennials and Gen X really grew up with technology as it was becoming impressively capable, but required a lot of technical know-how to use. It's really apparent in the workplace: our fresh-out-of-college guys and ready-for-retirement guys alike come to people around my age when stuff isn't working. Everything's too easy now, and it's hard to look under the hood. (Of course, there are still exceptions for enthusiasts, but you're never forced to tinker with a raspberry pi.)

    Totally. Thank goodness I wasnt born any later. If anything I'd wish earlier !

    Its scary watching clueless parents give their children full reign of iPads and the corpo net. There aren't enough tech literate parents out there to train kids how it all really works, and we know schools sure as heck aren't. I am almost positive we will see the most ignorant generation since the boomers now. I fear for my future medical needs to be taken care of by Hunter who grew up with YouTube kids and only used the gibbity from age 4 and up.

    As someone in a different professional environment I will tell you that Hunter will get fired and you will be served by geriatric gen x and then millenials until we figure out how to keep people from being so incredibly stupid that they can't perform basic tasks, much less practice medicine or law or engineering

    Yeah, let’s just ignore facts and pretend iOS doesn’t already have this.

    Last time I tried using an iPad I had all sorts of trouble getting access to files on my media server. That was like 10 years ago but still not going back based off that experience. Fuck apple.

    Seems like you were one year early. Files app was released in 2017. 9 years ago.

    Before that you pretty much had to use iTunes to transfer stuff. Now you can just plug in USB and see all the data from files app.

    You were able to use a usb and file transfer to a computer from dcim for many years before this. It was separated by folders based on the month the photo was taken.

    Kinda hilarious how out of touch most are in this thread. But it’s expected here.

    Yeah I recall that, I think I was able to purchase some app to do it wirelessly but the whole process was irritating AF. When I got ahold of an android tablet I was able to set up everything I wanted to do in like 15 minutes.
