@sdw It did. It finally brought encrypted texting between android and iOS. Look into the backend of beeper and it was quite ingenious and they focused heavily on security.

@SnazzyLabs I'll add, that Quinn has been the best boss I've ever had in my life. And no, he hasn't asked me to say anything, and I've expressed this many times privately to him. After having a few employers that literally drove me to consider suicide, it's a really nice breath of fresh air

@reckless Honestly that kind of attitude makes me want to just drop all my Apple devices. My mom did get an iPhone and she wasn’t able to learn it, she was too used to android. So now I’m stuck not being able to send memes to my mom, because no way in hell is she gonna install signal.

@GrahamStephan Personally I don’t think it’s ethical in todays day to be a landlord. It’s just a leftover concept from feudalism. It’s taking away opportunities of the common folk to own their own property. And we will soon enter a 2nd age of feudalism if things don’t change.

@sdw I'm sorry, but iMessage is absolutely encrypted texting. Ask anyone on the street and they couldn't tell you the difference between iMessage and sms Sure it was a hack, but it was E2E encrypted, and since 99% of my contacts use iMessage as primary communication, it felt prudent

@ianzelbo Scaling. 27" 4k is 160ish PPI. Which is like 1.5x scaling. 42" 4k is 110ppi which is 1x, and 21.5" is 2x. A 42" 4k monitor is like having 4x 24" 1080p monitors. It's the best.

@AndyManganelli It's a long time premiere bug that's finally fixed. You have to go into the color tab and make sure your gamma is set to 2.2, which is what QuickTime and youtube expect. Otherwise the viewer defaults to like 1.8 gamma or something.

@JayPatel0101_ @MKBHD Cost vs. benefit. Same reason why almost all displays are 16:9. Content is made for 4k, not 5k. Apple is special in that they don't care, so they spend the extra money and time making what they want.

@ianzelbo because 4k at 27" is terrible... 4k only works at 21.5" OR 42". Nothing in-between. I use a 42" LG C2 OLED as my main monitor, and it's the best monitor I've ever used period.
