Does she have a bat signal? She seems like she has a bat signal.

It’s designed like pushing paper towards you or away from you—I actually find it more natural. Imagine the screen is a long piece of paper continuing down to your hand and you’ll see what I mean. Push away to push the screen up, pull towards yourself to pull the screen down.
Plus, if you don’t like it, it is easily customized in the trackpad preferences.
I don’t usually like trackpads on other machines, but the gestures to switch desktops, zoom, change pages, and everything else that Apple builds in become so ingrained in your muscles that they save an enormous amount of navigational time. There really is no comparison. It is one of the essential features that keeps me from fully switching to Linux for every device in my home.
They always make them out of materials that feel luxurious to touch, which is another bit of computing philosophy I’ve adopted from them—if it touches my body, it should be extremely high quality. This goes for trackpads, mice, keyboards, clothes, and furniture.
Even if you don’t use their machines, it is worth checking out a demo of their gestures just to make you reconsider what a trackpad should be.
Perfectly replicating a Mac trackpad on a Linux system might be the final push for me to switch. Once those gestures are part of your flow, they are almost impossible to live without. It is one of the primary things Apple has ever gotten consistently right.
What are the positive qualities of Microsoft Linux? I’m sure it is more stable than normal Windows, but I’m not sure I could ever trust it as an OS.
The lesson I’ve learned is: brag less, seed more.
I have no doubt that she’s a professional who was qualified and did the best she can. Even the meme photo is a great choice of takes for an experienced actor who recognizes the ridiculousness of the situation.
And with no intention of taking anything away from her professionalism or qualification, I would also like to add that there is a weird part of me that finds her attractive, even with the green hair and meth lab.
10/10, I’d take this person’s yoga class.
Eli5, what are the security risks of my HDMI cable?
No problem. For what it’s worth, they changed the location of that shortcut around a decade ago, but the menu remains the same.
Drag down from the upper right corner of the screen, which brings up a panel of quick controls. The flashlight is one of them.
As you identified, there is also the lock screen as an option, or apps that will activate it if you want to go that route. Since app activation is the least efficient way of doing it, they don’t build it into the phone by default so that new users are nudged into building a better habit with the available shortcuts.
By looking for the flashlight, a new user will discover the shortcuts for the remote, calculator, and much more. All of this is explained clearly in their device welcome tour, online documentation, and in-store setup experience.
I understand it may not be as customizable as an android, but it isn’t exactly Apple’s fault if a user doesn’t use the myriad of options to familiarize themself with the basic controls, just like it isn’t Honda’s fault if someone doesn’t learn the basic symbols in a car, like how to identify which side the gas tank is on.
The resources are all there and are suggested to you from the second you set up the phone for the first time.
Honestly, it isn’t as good as it sounds. They are very small and it is very isolating, plus they all are designed to allow bosses to sneak up behind you without warning. I’ve been severely startled multiple times, which is an embarrassing reaction for the workplace.
Plus, all the cube walls are magnets for dust, so it can be hard to breathe in there sometimes.
This. It’s definitely a very nice experience when you get into a few good ones.
