I'll take a screenshot next time. Basically a banner asking if I want to update now, later or no thanks. No matter which option I choose it asks for my password so it can install. At that point my only options are to install the thing, ask to be reminded later or I can disagree to the terms.  I get it several times a day. My current iOS works just fine and I'm not keen on the changes that iOS 10 brings.  Really starting to hate iPhones, love my MacBook, but the iPhone is really starting to piss me off. 

Yes, it's a modal popup and I find it annoying too, only gives you a remind you later option. To be fair, Android is the same with its updates. On the desktop, Windows 10 is getting all sorts of bad press regarding its updates. It's everywhere if you're thinking of switching over because of it. Industry standard, SOP.

To be fair (hopefully), particularly with Windows and stuff, updates are often important from a security standpoint.

This is the modal popup you probably got, @Ernest Jones

Yep. image.pngimage.pngApparently, there is no **** off forever option. My wife's phone was all ****ed up after the upgrade with automatic wifi assist and god knows what else. Battery is dead by lunch. Can't wait to see the bill...

Apple can go choke on a rusty dick as far as I'm concerned. Soon as Samsung starts offering a free fire extinguisher with their phones, I'm done with Apple. :-)

 

Yours in earnest, Jason.

I know and I have. My wife didn't know and wasn't asked about turning it on. I suppose she should have read the Terms and Conditions, but nobody does and Apple (and other companies) like to take advantage of that. 

What else should I know about iOS 10? Any other battery and data sucking features I should turn off?

Usually after every upgrade, there are slews of complaints and the corresponding pieces on what to try:

Thanks, I see there is a way to downgrade the iOS back to a previous version. I'll probably just have her do that.

Another thing I noticed is if there's a software update, the settings icon will have a red badge. If you download the update (which it automatically does I think if you have wifi and a full battery or in the process of charging), but don't install, just leave it there and procrastinate, those warnings will keep hounding you. You can stop them by going into settings and deleting the download, which also frees up space if you need it, probably about 1.5 gigs but when you actually want the update, you'll have to download it again.

Siri, and voice dictation, gets better over time, but sometimes people don't notice.

I've been using the Google swipe keyboard on the iPhone, but it doesn't do dictation, and I'm considering switching back for that reason alone. Plus I've gotten too fast at swiping and I'm probably not faster because I have to correct errors than if I typed normally. So I have to slow back down again.

And, weirdly, drawing on my watch works really well for typing out a message. Like freakishly well…

Had to replace my 9 y/o iMac this past weekend when it finally died. I ended up with a Mac Mini. Was hesitant because Apple hasn't come out with a revision on that model in some time. But I needed something and it was really all I could afford.

The purchase took me on a trip down memory lane... This is only the fourth Mac I've owned since the late 80's. Other than taunting my wife and kids whenever their Windows computer's took a crap, I've never been one to join the Mac vs PC debate. Still, three computers in 17 years says a lot IMO. 

My first was an SE/30 (the Motorola 030 chip was the shit back then). I installed the 24 bit video card myself so I could use a 14" color monitor. No network, no modem, not even a CD drive. Just a floppy "superdrive". If memory serves, the dealer put a 20 mb hard drive in it. I upgraded the RAM to 5mb. Seems surreal, but that did the trick when working in Photoshop and Illustrator.

The OS was easy to work on. You had Extensions and Control Panels. If there was a software problem it was usually due to a conflict with those two types of files. All you had to do was find the guilty party - and there was an easy method of doing that - then disable it to eliminate the conflict. There were ADB ports, serial ports and a SCSI connector (those were fun). 

The last I heard that machine will still boot up.

Visual Studio for OS X announced, then link deleted. Hopefully MS added and improved to Xamarin. But VS available on a Mac w/full backing of Microsoft. Huh.

VS for Mac?  Is there much call for that?

Anyways I'm more of a command line person, so even though I code on Macs, I don't use Xcode.

    • If you still have that code available, I would love to get a copy. We have PowerShell code that pulls indexes and individual 9-hole handicaps for the tee sets of the course we play. We have 40 players and use this data for skins. We do skins by flight which we have 4 of them A,B,C,D and without pulling this data it would be almost impossible to do in the application. Right now, we also grab each "card" as it comes off the course and put it into a spreadsheet to help us understand who won the round and helps us with skins. Each golfer is required to enter their own scores in GHIN also. Our goal is to have each golfer enter in the scores in GHIN but pull the individual hole scores down each week after the round is posted so that we can figure skins, and points. I found a site for APIs, but it is old referencing https://api.ghin.com/api/v1. Our current code uses https://api2.ghin.com/api/v1. I tried using that along with what was provided in the old doc, but it appears many of the API signatures changed. I'm hoping I can use the python code to get examples of the API calls I need. if nothing else I could recode ours to use python.
    • This is pretty interesting. I don't have a Stack radar so I can't use the app, but given what they say it should be fairly easy to come up with some kind of proxy to it if I spend an hour with a trackman. Just note what ball speed gives what distances and plot it. It's presumably not directly linear, but if you hit 50 shots between 30 and 100 yards, you'll have enough to pin down most yardages in that window (yards vs ball speed). Then rather than trying to match distances, just try to match ball speeds with whatever radar you do have. The whole strokes gained thing would be more difficult, but that's not really necessary to work on it. Or just buy a Stack radar...
    • I don't think that is what the study was showing. It just showed that golfers who spent less time over the ball performed better. It didn't say pending their normal pace.
    • No…? When we edit the title of topics, a little note appears.
    • Rush or delay your own pace and you are probably going to suffer in the long run. PGA pro are well oiled machines that work on an specific pace, it's not surprise that if you move them out of their normal routine things are going to go sideways. I normally don't rush shots, but I sometimes delay the trigger if I'm not feeling it. The result is a lack of athleticism, I kind of get a little stiff and I could loose some yards and accuracy.
