I refuse to buy hardware from Meta again. I bought two Portal TV from them and it discontinued and not supported within two years. Now I have two junks in my drawer. :(

I'd like to try this, but it is quite expensive compared to Zebra Sarasa or Pentel Energel. The metal body is interesting, I wonder how different is the weight and feel to pens with plastic body.

I think they falsely believe human only needs one sense to navigate: sight. But we actually use our hearing, smell, and touch too. So, multiple type sensors is actually better than only one.

This is impressive. The nerd in me wants to play with it right away, but the skeptic me just doesn't see that this will be mass produced anytime soon. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Here's a million dollar idea for LEGO Group (or any third party): make and sell a LEGO sorting machine. It should be portable enough, and flexible enough for wide ranging of application. I think it can sell loads of them.

New comment by hanief in "Was ditching the headphone jack a good idea?"

hanief — Sun, 16 Sep 2018 06:55:34 +0000

Apple is pursuing the wireless future, as simple as that. Be it audio, data transfer, or even power. In the case of headphone jack, they pursue that goal by fixing the bluetooth flaws not by content with what we have right now. Is it a worthy goal to pursue? Time will tell.

It worked on my iPhone the first time I tried it. But after reloading, it doesn't seem to work anymore. Maybe slow or too much connection?

New comment by hanief in "Apple’s culture of secrecy wore down Swift creator and Xcode lead Chris Lattner"

hanief — Fri, 13 Jan 2017 14:15:21 +0000

Apple is a victim of their own success. It's a dilemma really. Their culture vs public interest.

I am sure they are exploring new spaces like VR, AR, cars, etc but they haven't finished a decent product yet so they don't announce it. They are the opposite of Google, where they announce every new project only to kill it later (Ara, Fiber, Glass, etc).

They don't really like to announce a product before it's ready. The root is their hardware background. They need to nail the product in the first iteration or it will fail. Move fast and break things don't apply to them.

Whether Apple pursue the hardware route remains to be seen. They only changed their strategy, probably to develop the core self-driving technology first then worry about the design of the car later.

New comment by hanief in "Why the MacBook Pro Is Limited to 16GB of RAM"

hanief — Sun, 20 Nov 2016 04:33:18 +0000

Because it's a MacBook; with batteries in it. The value is in the mobility. If you don't need the batteries and mobility, you could buy a Mac Mini, iMac or Mac Pro.

hanief — Sun, 06 Nov 2016 21:43:22 +0000

Yes. I bought the same model to replace my mid-2011 Macbook Air. Coming from an ancient one, this Macbook Pro is a reveleation.

Your experience echo mine. I love the new keyboard very much, no problem typing on it. It even has a pleasing sound when i am typing on them. It invokes ASMR. It doesn't feel too heavy, I can bring it around on one hand just fine. The build quality is amazing. Performance is good. From fully charged I can use it all day without charging. I am very much satisfied.

New comment by hanief in "Nyancat on the touchbar"

hanief — Sun, 06 Nov 2016 05:24:36 +0000

Is your premise correct though? Will you need to move your head up and down? Isn't the touch bar will be in your field of vision?

Even if your premise is true, is it better to move your head up and down or to move your hands forward and backward to reach the touch screen?

New comment by hanief in "Nyancat on the touchbar"

hanief — Sun, 06 Nov 2016 05:13:52 +0000

No, sir. In fact you can still see both the current content on the Macbook screen and the entire timeline on the Touch Bar. On trackpad, you need to actually move the pointer to the content before you can scrub, and it's not really that fast. If you manipulate directly on the screen, isn't it will block the view?

IMHO, as far as I understand it, Touch Bar is a bridge that connects the static nature of the keyboard with the dynamic nature of the screen. It is not intended to replace keyboard nor the screen. It is there to augment and extend them.

Touch bar is perfect for this job, considering:

- You can't beat the fast input from fixed keyboard + muscle memory.

- Touch screen on a laptop is really not ergonomic, your arm will get tired fast.
