Better keep a pad of paper and a pencil around just in case of (cue doom music) web crash.

what's funny is that the only people who consider me some kind of tech wizard are people over the age of 50 and saz.

[Saz]

No, I'm just not autistic. Like i said attachment to inanimate objects is a near universal human emotion, whether it's a house, car, rifle, computer, or a doll. The fact that you seem bewildered by it only supports my clinical diagnosis.

Someone should let Saz know that functional adults are able to distance and control those attachments by undergoing a rational assessment of different products, and that this ability is why he gets so many strange looks carrying his comfort blankie around with him.

so a friend of mine at work bought an ipad pro (the new smaller version, i think) plus an apple pencil. he, like me, hates apple. so why would he buy it?

then he let me draw with the pencil

is there anything as good as this with any other stylus? it's so f**k perfect. it understand the pressure and the angle of the pencil. i can lightly shade with it tilted on its side and it looks like i did it with a real pencil. i can use the point and press harder and harder and it gets a darker pinpoint line. was very impressed and thinking about buying one myself, but i am hesitant because of the $900 pricepoint he told me about for these two items. is there a cheaper tablet and stylus combo that is as good for drawing?

so sa you know apple decided to get rid of the corded headphones -- something that their advertising was basically surrounding 15 years ago. and so they have the airPods. this is from the front

[NAB]

Such a blatant attempt to re-coup their losses on the Beats by Dre acquisition. How do we corner the headphone market? Why, we just make everyone else's product unusable on our product. f**k.
