Can someone give me the tl;dr on why the new apple phone is crap?

I scrolled up far enough and gave up

Unionhawk

19:03

@Wipqozn it's a thousand dollars

Wipqozn

@Unionhawk Does it have a headphone jack?

Kevin van der Velden

@Wipqozn It's an apple phone

fredley

@Wipqozn lolno

Unionhawk

@Wipqozn I'm not even sure it has a lightning port

Does it?

Wipqozn

@fredley Well drat

I'd have paid $1000 for a headphone jack!

but yeah, it's basically apple being apple

and then people will fucking throw money at them as usual

Unionhawk

19:04

I know they moved to theoretically they could kill it with wireless charge but

did they kill it

Avery

@Wipqozn hire that one guy on china

Wipqozn

because blind loyalty and hipsterism

Yuuki

@Unionhawk It charges wirelessly so technically the entire phone is one big lightning port.

Unionhawk

Well no because lightning does other things

like sync and headphone

badp

isn't lightning just thunderbolt on a proprietary connector

Yuuki

19:05

@Unionhawk I said "lightning port" not "Lightning port".

Lightning

Lightning is a sudden electrostatic discharge that occurs during a thunderstorm. This discharge occurs between electrically charged regions of a cloud (called intra-cloud lightning or IC), between two clouds (CC lightning), or between a cloud and the ground (CG lightning). The charged regions in the atmosphere temporarily equalize themselves through this discharge referred to as a strike if it hits an object on the ground, and a flash, if it occurs within a cloud. Lightning creates light in the form of black body radiation from the very hot plasma created by the electron flow, and sound in the...

@Avery :144:

Unionhawk

but

Avery

it's a home button dongle.

badp

nah, it's showing a music player

Unionhawk

Oh I thought it was a touchid dongle

Avery

19:39

it can probably do that too

ohgod

quartata

@Avery what

is that the home button

MadMAxJr

Surely someone will find the ALL-FACE that opens any of them

Wipqozn

20:39

annnd 91% sword change missed, once again proving ranger melee is fucking pointless

Tim Stone

I think the game is just punishing you for getting so many people killed

BlueBarren

I really appreciate how schools give me software for free

Tim Stone

My rangers are excellent

But Templars are better

BlueBarren

hello Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise

Tim Stone

Because Parry and Reflect + Bladestorm are just silly-good

badp

20:45

All is bad

For a thing we're writing we parsed some strings by doing a lot of regular expressions

which was, I mean, perly

so instead we decided to use a parser library

and it's so frustrating to work with

Avery

oh god

we're forcing the animoji poop meme

MadMAxJr

Templars DONT MISS in melee.

badp

especially since we're showing error messages to the user

Avery

if this meme becomes a thing I'll go crazy (or rather laugh quite a bit)

badp

and if we don't fail the parse in just the right way

Wipqozn

20:47

The rookie @Frank was the only one to walk away from that mission unharmed

badp

the library feels justified to reject our error messages away and replace them with its own

Wipqozn

a muton got a few point blank flanking shots at him, but @Frank was dodging past those bullets like a pro

Must be all his dancing classes

badp

this includes such wonderful things such as being unable to fail a parse at the start of an optional token, because that throws your error message away

even if I'm manually doing this

Wipqozn

Also @fredley is now afraid of Fire

badp

Say that an html tag accepts title attributes but I want to validate that an br tag cannot have a title

I want to parse the attribute correctly then fail anyway because it is not allowed there

but I can't mark the failure at the start of the attribute because that results in "found nothing parseable"

because fuck you that's why

Yuuki

20:52

@Wipqozn Can we use this to avoid MODABUSE?

Kevin van der Velden

Aah dutch people trying to english and being utterly dumb with it. Some baker made a sign "Warme pies", which is half dutch and half english... except of course that they're both dutch words! Guess which one is a not-nice synonym to urine?

badp

also you need to figure out the right mix of things being optional and committing to failure

@KevinvanderVelden the one that sounds like piss?

Kevin van der Velden

Yes

I mean I already gave you all the information you needed =p

badp

HEY AT LEAST I ACKNOWLEDGE WHAT YOU SAY

Kevin van der Velden

Yes

Frank

20:54

@Wipqozn I'm an XCom Swordmaster!

Tim Stone

My rangers send their love @Wipqozn

Wipqozn

@TimStone Well that was a close one for me. I finished a "reduce advent progress" covert mission a few seconds before Game Over O'Clock

Tim Stone

Whew

Yeah, I think I got within two bars when a Reduce mission finished

Wipqozn

IT's starting to all go to hell too

Don't have enough soldiers for a full squad

Tim Stone

I was down to only 3 bars complete >_>

:(

Wipqozn

21:03

THAT'S XCOM BABY

(misery)

@TimStone I should probably just invest in that actual level 1 sword skill so they hit more.... buuuuuuuut honestly templars are just better

they can attack then move

Tim Stone

I mean Rangers can too if you give them Implacable, provided they kill something, but yeah

Templars are generally better

Hrm, the Shadow Chamber says there's an unknown enemy on this level and I'm not sure what it could be unless it's one of Dr. Vahlen's crazypants experiments

Oh, no, it's that stupid eye thing

I forgot about those

looool and my rando ranger just executed it

Fantastic

The Archon King turned out to be a lot more annoying than the Berserker Queen because it has a Devastate move that's basically Blazing Pinions but triggers immediately on the next ruler reaction (so you can only move one person out of the way, typically)

badp

cc @Arperum

Arperum

@badp sets fire to whoever made that thing

WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER 12 PERCENT? ARE THOSE NEVER ENDING?

Yuuki

To basically anyone who has a credit card.

Or a cell phone.

Bank account, internet service, etc.

Or even if you don't have any of those things but have inquired about getting them.

(Still not sure if this affects us Canadian humans or not)

Wipqozn

@TimStone god I hate the movement AI in this game

two paths

on goes through a dor, the other breaks a window and breaks cover

takes the window break

basically the game should just warn you if movement will break cover. would be nice,.

because I just activated every single pod

9 aliens

Tim Stone

I mean it usually does, doesn't it?

Avery

21:34

@Ash anyone american I guess

Tim Stone

With the little eye alert thinger

But it doesn't always show you if you'll be spotted if you can't see the enemy's line of sight, which can be unfortunate (but seems fair)

Avery

can't see how equifax would have data of people who aren't affiliated with US

Yuuki

> According to the news I can find it is likely the Equifax breach compromised information for Canadians but Equifax Canada won't saw how many. Their only official comment was that they have nothing to add to what Atlanta-based Equifax already announced. According to their website they have no idea how many were affected yet. However, judging by how large the compromise was for Americans unless Canadians and Britons are kept on entirely different networks with no trusted relationship, its likely going to be all of you as well.

@Avery There's an Equifax Canada.

Avery

oh

well then IDK

Yuuki

It might also affect Britons too (cc @fredley @Ronan).

Avery

21:36

but yeah I personally am not worried about my credit history

The Mattbat999

I took a look at "The Factory Floor" on Worldbuilding, and I officially determined I am only fit for this room. I don't know anyone in the others

Avery

googles yup, no equifax here in turkey

Yuuki

I don't think the free credit reporting tool will be up given how much volume they'll be likely to see right now so I might go ahead and freeze my credit.

Kinda sucks because I'm currently looking to change my housing situation.

Avery

@Yuuki the thread says something about 90 days

user15026

@Avery Equifax is not just Canada

Avery

21:39

so theoretically you can change your housing and then freeze?

@Ash ah

user15026

I can't do a credit freeze right now, that would hose me six ways from Sunday.

Yuuki

As far as I'm aware, a credit freeze doesn't stop you from using existing accounts.

It just doesn't let you open any more.

Although it might be different in Canada.

Since you have what's called a Credit File Alert.

Wipqozn

@TimStone I mean a warning would be nice. It's just annoying, because it gets tedious as fuck needing to double check every soldiers path to make sure the game is taking them through a route that breaks a window when there's an open door right next to them.

BEcuase I just lost me entire campaign because of that nonsense

Tim Stone

Ah, okay

Yeah, that's lame :(

Wipqozn

I didn't even think to double check soldier movement, they were literally right now to a door, but instead they ran through a window

badp

21:42

boombarbl

Wipqozn

and it was one of my last soldiers to move, and I activated every pod so it's basically just game over

It's just demoralizing to lose to stupid shit like that

Avery

@badp the moment you said that I heard a faint explosion outside

(likely fireworks)

user15026

@Yuuki I don't remember tbh

The Mattbat999

@Avery you changed your avatar... (mind blew up)

Avery

@TheMattbat999 now think about the mind-blowings I've caused to everyone else, considering I had been using that one for nearly a year

Also yess I'm really happy with how this avatar turned out

@Avery no it's valentina kerman added relatively recently

She's got the same stats as jebediah afaik

Which I think just affects facial expression

Avery

til

but yeah just saw the hair

user15026

@Avery I really like your new avatar btw :)

Avery

@Ash thaaaaaanks, it's based on a selfie I took yesterday so all these comments are huge motivation boosts haha

user15026

@Avery Well, it looks fantastic.

Avery

it does :) I'm really confident with how it turned out and kinda feel bad for not doing this before because of that

Yaaaaay! :D

RedRiderX

So now I have an excuse for being late to the party!

Hey did you hear about that new iPhone?

It's got an X and everything!

Avery

22:35

yup

and it has animated emojis

4 hours ago, by Avery

X/X will buy an iPhone X

RedRiderX

We've finally put dot projection based face recognition in phones and the killer app is an animated pile of poo?

I don't like this Blade Runner reboot

user15026

Someone wanna tl;dr me on it?

RedRiderX

There is now an iPhone 8, 8+, and X

All in increasing price

Avery

Apple announced iPhone 8, *+ and X. X costs 999$, dunno about rest.

RedRiderX

All phones have gone back to glass back and front, and have wireless charging

8+ (still?) and X have two cameras

X has "bezeless" screen

Avery

22:43

X has edge-to-edge screen and a ton of sensors on front side, and has no home button

there is a button on side, but it's for siri and apple pay

you wake phone by tapping.

swipe right is replaced with swipe up

they also nuked touch id and introduced face id

RedRiderX

Avery

it uses the IR sensors, which is reportedly impenetrable

RedRiderX

X also has higher res OLED screen (finally)

Avery

BUT, when you're dealing with law enforcement, they can force you to look at it probably and unlock your phone

Unionhawk

@Avery which is really just a challenge

Avery

22:45

So it's a loss for me.

oh yes

RedRiderX

Biometrics are kind of meh for security anyway

Avery

the apple guy tried 4 times

only succeeded on 2

Unionhawk

But yeah your iPhone has to tell you it's not a cop before it scans your face

user15026

None of that sounds interesting or appealing tbh :P

Unionhawk

It's the rules

Avery

22:46

Both run the new A11 chip by apple, capable of 600 billion instructions per second

user15026

@Unionhawk wait what

Unionhawk

@Ash no not really

Avery

And apple invented facerig as emojis

user15026

I'm tired and hyper caffeinated all at once so my judgement is kinda shot

Avery

it'll detect your face like facerig and record your voice and send them through imessage

Unionhawk

22:46

But I mean continued collection of biometric data is super :|

Avery

which is where the poop emoji we saw originated

user15026

@Avery whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

user15026

why would you even

user15026

I don't get shit like that

Tim Stone

@Wipqozn The Assassin just committed seppuku >_>

Unionhawk

22:47

@Avery you know some Apple engineer probably watched the emoji movie and decided it was a good idea to implement

user15026

but then again I don't even really understand emojis

Avery

honestly it's not the worst thing, like, it's not early 2000s animated MSN emoticons bad, but it's pretty useless imo

and oh yes I lived through that era

user15026

@Avery The fact that I still have to like...tell Skype to a) not animate emojis and b) to just display them as text instead of their frightening faces is annoying

Unionhawk

@Avery dae remember aim

:old:

Avery

@Unionhawk dae aol was never popular here

Unionhawk

22:49

This is fair

Likely because America

Avery

BUT OH I remember IRCing with mIRC on ~2006

well

more like "there was this place we used to hang out and the computers there all had it and I only saw it used once or twice (I do remember the convos being more... ERP-like, though)"

RedRiderX

@Ash Wireless charging seems nice but I don't have anything else that has it so I can't justify a charging board.

user15026

@Unionhawk I only stopped using AIM on my phone like...a couple years ago

user15026

I had friends that clung to it far longer than it made sense to do so :P
