I have pictures I took on the beach in the middle of the night with no flash, and they look like daytime shots. I'm not good with having a sheet of glass in my pocket, though, so I'm no longer allowed to have expensive phones. The wife put her foot down. What can I do? The traditional response is -- Yes dear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonNoble Posted October 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 After joining a free local Apple support group (at least I seek help when I need it) ...and following several postings about the Apple 8 - I think I am going to wait till after the first of the year to purchase one. It seems there are a few bugs to work out (for sure on the X but I had decided against one of those - I just don't use it enough to justify it. But even the 8 seems to have maybe been rushed out to market. von Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, we all buy the product for the privilege of being beta testers. Things change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ULCneo Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 To be straight to the point: Apple Sucks, Microsoft Sucks, Android Sucks (as does everything Google owned) - Linux is OK, depending upon version. I particularly like cali. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VonNoble Posted November 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 I made the decision to buy an Apple 8 instead of the X (thanks to all for assisting with that decision) .....I have no idea if there will be any sale before, during or after the holidays so I am holding off on that purchase just in case I can catch a break. However, having said that - if I had not already made the decision to not buy a X the current crop of problems would be off putting . The thing I find amazing is that in spite of a significant bit of not-quite-finished-with-this tweaking by Apple the darn thing is sold out and backordered. Eh.....THAT I do not get. I get wanting the newest thing but maybe at that price its best to let them finish working the bugs out of it before plunking down the money - maybe. Now, I was talking to some long time tech-heads (been at it since the late 60's) and they tell me Apple pretty much is now designing things to implode (become not financially fixable) in a less than four year time span. If you buy Apple - you better plan on replacing what ever you buy in the four year window...the batteries won't last - or they won't be worth fixing if you try to send them back in......anyone else hearing that? ALSO - if you DO send something in for a battery change - you do NOT get your original item back. They give you a "exact replacement"....send yours to the home office to be refurbished and old but YOU DO NOT retain the equipment. You go home with a replacement item...anyone know about that? von Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevBogovac Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 Good to hear Von, I'm a IT Quality Manager and have been "at it" for some time too (early 80's) and I must say that from my perspective the world isn't that black/white; yes, companies (in general) are inclined to "stimulate consumption" (it's more noticeable in "white goods" where the washing machines and fridges form the 60's and 70's were made "to last" and now adays companies make them deliberately to lesser quality standards as to "stimulate" consumers to buy replacements earlier on. But having said that I also type this on an MacBook Air (early 2014) and my wife still uses an Iphone 5S (late 2013), and they're still going strong. As far as the "replacement" item; yes, I was aware of that. Dutch consumer laws are pretty strict and still "they" are allowed todo so, as long as it is an "exact replacement". I understand tat too; it is a lot cheaper to have a "standard" procedure than to custom replace everything that comes in. This is good business practice, and as long as it is an "exact" replacement (or better, as Dutch law demands) I see no problem with that... (And you wouldn't either, as "ignorance was bliss"... ) Having been through that "proces" once, I must admit I was more satisfied with the overall service (getting a working Macbook back with all my apps, pictures and working files) than being overly concerned about the materials "in hand"...

Harrisson Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Guys, what do you think, is it okay to make a church mobile app? There're some tutorials how to make it - church app development and what will God say if I made one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeker Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 If you are planning on building from anyone else's code, make sure you get the full source code including any libraries, and check what information it is collecting and transmitting about your users.

If you really need top team of Android developers, you can check https://madappgang.com/platforms/android cause I built my android app there. Dont try to save on your app, cause this is not the best idea. Quality will bring audience to you.
