@badp What about the Series One?

badp

@twobugs like the Apple Watch but with the Series 2 cpu

two bugs

And let's not forget the 1 Series

badp

Oh I hadn't seen what you did there

THE HOME BUTTON HAS A TRACK PAD

"SOLID STATE"

SaintWacko

Buzzwords!

badp

18:05

Does that mean it's no longer a button?

two bugs

We're having Series Fun, here at Apple!

Kevin van der Velden

@badp it's a button pad

badp

THIRD PARTY APPLICATIONS CAN MAKE THE HOME BUTTON ARBITRARILY COMPLICATED

two bugs

I now own the Series Fun trademark

badp

FINALLY

two bugs

Apple: Button Different

badp

Finally A BUTTON THAT IS NOT A BUTTON

You PRESS IT and IT DOESN'T GIVE

THE BUTTON INSTEAD PRESSES YOU

two bugs

It presses back twice as hard

Build an armor of these magic buttons

Kevin van der Velden

@badp Is this a metaphor for the inevitability of death? No it's just a crappy button

badp

@KevinvanderVelden it's not a button

It's "solid state" so no moving parts

So it's no different from the screen

Just a little ways inward

Kevin van der Velden

@badp that's the crappy part

badp

18:09

Watch out for the iPhone 8 with the display built into the "home" "button"

ALL OF THE FLOPS FOREVER

YOU CAN NOW CROP LIVE PHOTOS

Son of a Sailor

Isnt that just zoom?

Kevin van der Velden

Mostly

(Digital) zoom is cropping in on the center

badp

that said apple does have the best camera game in a smartphone

oh I was right

THE IPHONE 7+ HAS MORE CAMERA

Just 66% more camera

WITH TWO CAMERAS ON THE SAME SUBJECT YOU CAN NOW ZOOM

SaintWacko

18:14

Optical zoom!

That's actually a big deal

badp

Only 2x is optical zoom

Everything else is an interpolation of the two pics

Two cameras also means depth perception

Is that what they're about to say

NBN-Alex

Yeah, but does it do 8 trillion teraflops?

badp

...and what they DID with it is bok-whatever effects

SaintWacko

bokeh

badp

When Google put two cameras in a phone they generated a 3D model of the scene you were in

SaintWacko

18:18

Tango!

badp

When Apple put two cameras in a phone they made an instagram filter

SaintWacko

Apple made the background fuzzy

If that's not a good description of Google vs Apple, I don't know what is

badp

I guess both can be useful to different people

THE INSTAGRAM FILTER IS NOT EVEN SHIPPING WITH THE PHONE

You need to wait for EOY

LITERALLY INSTAGRAM ON THE STAGE

I guess Apple gets points for bringing zoom and enhance to reality

very technically

INSTAGRAM CAN NOW DO GIFS

two bugs

Apple invented the number 2

I'm still bitter about that.

badp

APPLE DISRUPTED COLORS SO HARD THEY CAN NOW SHOW YOU BRAND NEW COLORS

two bugs

I remember people saying the Apple watch was going to succeed because tech people didn't like it

badp

This is your life now, you're welcome. Love, the MAFIAAs

SaintWacko

Yeah, that's going to be interesting

two bugs

18:33

I don't think that panned out

badp

We now have dcpa for audio

Or whatever the abbreviation was

SaintWacko

dmca?

badp

No

SaintWacko

riaa?

Tim Stone

The good news is that you don't have to worry about them not being charged when you want to use them because you'll have already lost them after they fell out of your ear

badp

18:35

The thing that does DRM over video

SaintWacko

Oh

Yeah, no idea

Q: Who should I focus fire (discord) with Zen?

Which group of heroes should be my target, ordered from most to least important ? I personally tend to discord Reinhardt (tanks) as soon as he drops his shield to fire strike, and if a flanker attacks me or goes behind us in general, I'd prioritise them, so they'd die quicker and I'd have an idea...
