The off topic thread 4.0

Apple's innovation has stalled massively since Jobs died. A lot of their phone's new features, Android/Samsung already has.

Read a really interesting book on Apple and learning to cope post-Jobs, and a lot of the flaws and issues the company has faced.

What else can they add? There's only so much they can do.

Apple created the smart phone too, they're the reason where we are today with smart phones.

No they didn't..

 

[Fwoy]

Part of their job and brand is to create things we didn't know could improve our lives. When was the last time they made people go wow?

They were the best at it when the iPod, iTunes and iPhone first came on the scene but now they've fallen behind.

Watch Samsung change the game with their foldable phone.

Weren’t those foldable phones breaking straight away?

Anyways, Samsung and Apple have competing stores in the shopping centre near where I live...one is always full, whilst the other always empty.

Huh, I've never heard of a Samsung store.

I didn't say I didn't believe it. Just had no idea they existed.

There’s a few...basically the same as the Apple Store really

 

[SM]

Yeah I've seen a few in the city, when I had issues with my Galaxy I went in.

Most of this new tech is just a gimmick. That Alexa thing that was all the rage - they can’t even give the things away now. I was happier with my Nokia

Alexa isn't a phone though is it? It's like the Google home and shit which is just dumb.

 

[SM]

Speaking of tech though, watched the second ep of the most recent Black Mirror season, is quite a poignant examination of the state of the world I thought.

I’m just talking about tech in general.

Don’t become a slave to it

All of Black Mirror is basically about the cons of modern technology. Isn’t that the whole premise of the show?

Not everything has to be a fight mate.

That particular episode was examining the impact of technology and social media on the modern world. A lot of the episodes are set in an alternate future with 'sci-fi'-esque advances in technology. This was just looking at technology as it actually is.

Yes it was more relevant I see what you are saying.

I’m not fighting btw, don’t get sensitive

 

[WealstoneRaider]

The new series of Black Mirror was not nearly as good as the previous ones - Bandersnatch aside. Think it’s just about had it’s day.

 

[Loonerty]

Think I'm finally going to buy a Switch on Saturday. Getting prepped for Sword and Shield.

The Nokia 3310 is the GOAT mobile phone

Anyone watched Better Call Saul? Just finished the 4th season. Flies under the radar for how good it is

I wanted to wait for it to finish first but might just give it a crack.

I didn’t know there were more seasons coming out so I had a meltdown at the end of season 4 because I thought it was all finished and couldn’t believe how open they left the storyline.

Season 5 doesn’t come out until 2020 which is a pain in the arse, so I’d actually hold off if I was you. You’ll binge hard on it and then have to wait ages for the next season.

Season 5? Woah! Crazy that it's soon going to be on for as long as Breaking Bad was.
