I switched as well and it's actually such a "pick the lesser evil" situation and I hate that.

I'm gonna write a quick comparison as I've switched between platforms several times (still miss my Windows Phone tbh though):

I've found that no matter which Android "iphone camera killer" phone I got, the camera was unreliable and always ended up having crappy results. Meanwhile, my iPhone pics are constantly a decent quality.

Somehow, iPhone screens _consistently_ shatter for me. Even when I'm careful. I've yet to break the screen on an Android phone -- even if I've used it significantly longer or it was significantly cheaper. Something about iPhone's design or manufacturing lends it to shattering. My current iPhone has a shattered back from when I dropped it on my soft carpet from a foot up-high about a year in...

iPhone and Android software both sucks but Android's app experience is _significantly_ better. Why? BACK BUTTON. Every iPhone app has different expectations around going "back" from swiping up, left, right, or just having no way to go "back" at all. Which is common. Good Android apps are _great_; however, most iPhone apps are ok and most Android apps are not even ok.

iMessage isn't great but it's hard to give up on it. SMS/MMS experience _sucks_ -- so knowing when someone will get your 5 minute audio message in good quality is actually really nice. Sending pictures between platforms _sucks_. With that said, Android's web interface for messages is a million times better than the iMessage app and obv cross-platform.

I also absolutely hate getting data off an iPhone. it's unreliable especially if you don't have a mac. The Android experience is so much nicer.

So it's kind of a give and take. :/

Also -- less notification/customization options on the iPhone but having a hardware "silent" button is rad.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm considering this too as many others in thread.

The camera thing drives me nuts. My pixel 6 can't take a reasonable photo of a flat piece of paper due to spherical distortion causing blurring of text. Sure you can go 2x and hold the phone further as suggested in online discussions but it's nuts that this made it past any attempt at QA and testing.

I've done 4-5g several times before, I guess it affects everyone differently?

It definitely does. 4-5g is our standard dose now. I used to think 1-2g was intense. A big variable is whether or not you're combining them with anything else. I find smoking pot sends things into overdrive and results in hallucinations which are difficult to separate from reality when doing 5g. By itself, 5g is a nice trip(although I can temporarily lose my language functions sometimes, which is kind of interesting).

To add to this, my partner does 5g and it's more or less a fun and intoxicating experience with no visuals at all. 5g for me is intensely visual. YMMV.

I really like it -- lots of legal documents I've signed over the past few years are in DocuSign. Which also means that I have easy storage for my _own_ documents. If I log in, I can see the lease I signed 3-4 years ago, the contract I signed last year, etc. etc.

Plus, yeah, you get to see if the other party signed, all the appropriate spots for signing are flagged, the entire audit trail of the document.

It's super convenient.

Also, it's cheap AF. A personal account is like $10-15 and a business account is $25-45. That's pocket change for the service you get.

EDIT: I've worked on document management software. Let me tell you that people will pay bank for document management -- without even the signing part. In any field.

You should not rely on that. Make your own copies. I’ve had work contracts and other important documents all disappear due to custom retention policies.

DocuSign does not cost $10. It costs $10/month, which is waaaay more I’d spend to save past signed documents in the cloud.

It’d be “cheap” or an acceptable price if a signed document costed $5. Subscriptions are BS for occasional users.

For signing documents or accessing documents you signed you don’t have to pay anything.

If you are creating documents to be signed , 10-20$ is insignificant cost even if it is was per document.

Most contracts are worth lot more, most lawyers who draft these types of documents costs more . Sending a copy of a physical document by USPS for overnight delivery to couple of people will cost you that much.

Until it disappears. I tried to look at my job contract from 5.5 years ago and it no longer exists.

>Also, it's cheap AF.

A pay as you go model would qualify as "cheap AF," but the subscription model can be extremely expensive on a per document basis if you need to do a couple a year.

For whatever reason with our enterprise license agreement, we pay $7/set of documents. I assumed it was flat fee, but nope.

We use DocuSign because FDA requires electronic signatures that follow 21 CFR Part 11. A lot of companies will be very hesitant to roll their own or claim compliance if the supplier (like DocuSign) doesn't claim it's compliant.

Back it up on Google Drive or similar.

The document can be deleted.

I often see the whole product free like this -- and then pricing comes about for collaborative features, cloud storage, cloud processing, etc.

So I'm guessing that's how it'll remain free -- as long as you use your own storage space and computing power, you can see use it for free.

that's pretty much how I feel, too. I really love the flow of hooks and I write a ton of them -- majority of the logic I write tend to end up in hooks and I really love that.

There's something to having a function that can hold state or load its state on mount, etc.

I'm Czech and under the dialect where I grew up, "Zluda" could be translated to "evil person/monster" or "mischievous person/monster".

Growing up, people sometimes called their kids "zludy" (plural of "zluda" in my language) -- or trouble-makers.

Interesting. Possibly a variant of the standard word zrůda?

Yeah, could be! I grew up close to the polish/slovak/czech border. I bet some of those words got mixed together.

I'm not an audiophile but I am a disabled user which is why I can't buy these. I can't lift up my right arm all the way up so I typically don't use the right-side headphone controls on headphones.

The AirPods Max aren't reversible (idk of any headphones that are?) and the fact that they put the controls all the way up top means that even if I reach over with my left hand, I can't really reach the controls. This absolutely sucks. I love that they're physical buttons but yeah, this sucks.

I have the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones which have some controls on the left (I wish they were configurable) and "touchpad" controls on the right. 90% of the time, the only gesture that works on those using my reach-around method with my left hand is the pause button. That's it. It sucks. I wish it had more physical buttons.

So can someone give me reversible headphones, use those physical buttons that are better than gesture-based touchpads, and make them reversible? I'd really appreciate that :/

Until then, the WH-1000XM4 are at least usable by someone who can't use their right hand to control headphones. The AirPods Max are not.

Totally agree. One of the banks I bank with has a fully interactive JS application with no reloads. It's super smooth to interact with and makes the experience amazing.

I also bank with another bank that does full-page reloads and it's a huge pain. And it's frustrating when I have to do something because of how slow it is comparatively.

I just got my first macbook in years. I legit thought something was wrong with my monitor (even though it works perfectly with my Windows desktop and my Linux laptop). So it's Big Sur??

I read that as Bug Sir, but I'm a little sleep deprived.

Apple announced MST support back during Sierra, and we still can't daisy chain on USB-C. Have to run each display to separate TB3 ports.

What I haven't tried is daisy chaining running Linux on a T2 Mac, which I don't know is possible yet. My enthusiasm for Apple's Intel-based hardware tapped out around 2014, though, so I'm calling anything pre-M1 a wash.

Could just as easily be your Thunderbolt dock (if you are using one) or adapter.

Most docks and a lot of the adapters out there completely suck.

CalDigit is perfect, though. No issues with my 2 external monitors on my 16" MBP since I got a CalDigit dock. Now I plug in one cable, and everything is kosher: 96W power, GigE, external speakers, 2 external hard drive arrays, and 2 monitors.

Was perfect under Catalina, and remains perfect under Big Sur.

Yeah, that's the thing. I used my dock with both my desktop and laptop for months and it worked fine. _Still_ works fine. It's a 100W. If I plug it into my Macbook, it'll run the external display for like 10 seconds and shut it off. It's unfortunate :(

Anecdotally, I use a Caldigit - but I get frequent AMD GPU driver kernel panics when I plug my laptops in, I see it on two separate 16" machines (work and personal). I suspect that it's the monitors at fault. Less common but no less annoying is when the machine doesn't pick up one of the two panels, forcing me to replug the laptop or panels in the dock (invariably increasing the likelihood of a panic...)

Are you using and HDMI cable? I found it solved the issue when I switched to DisplayPort.

> However, for some reason the lighter one is just easier for me to parse at a cursory glance

I have the opposite reaction. I wonder what kind of computer/monitor the author is using.

I found that lighter colors (whites/greys/very light pastels) display way better on an Apple-made monitor while darker colors look much better on Thinkpads/Acer/Asus/etc. monitors.

I got into quite a few back-and-forths with designers that only design on Macs because the colors look _way_ different on other devices.
