Apple seems to have forgotten it built a notch in the MacBook Pro

Parts of macOS simply forget the notch exists.

Snazzy Labs owner Quinn Nelson has posted two videos on Twitter demonstrating some of the early notch issues. The main video demonstrates what appears to be a bug in macOS. Status bar items like Apple’s battery indicator can get hidden underneath the notch when status bar items are extended.

Does the notch still show on external monitors? That would be the real kicker

We need a gif that's the opposite of the "that's damn good!" guy ...

Like so ...

"That's bad ... that's REAL bad."

ps. i still miss the savage twitter Kaz...

Elegant design.


Do you not know how to scroll your mouse?

 

[pauljeremiah]

“WHO DESIGNED THIS”, he screams, unaware that bugs are not by design, this dude needs to take a Xanax and seriously chill.

Sorry i couldnt listen to that guy talk for more than 12 secs.

Clickbait headline and melodramatic Twitter video.

The first video where things are under the notch is obviously a bug that will be fixed in the next update. Developers are always having to adapt to new screen sizes and devices.

The second video is literally pretending that something that is very old is new. If you use any software on macOS that has too many Menu Bar items, it will push the status icons away while that application is in focus. You might dislike that behavior but it has nothing to do with the notch.

Had to look up what this was. What fucking idiot designs a mouse that can't be used while it's charging?

'Sorry boss, can't finish my work today, need to wait for the mouse to charge'

Having a notch on a laptop seems so odd. I have a 2017 Macbook Pro and I've never even noticed the bezels around the screen until now. Why are tech firms so anti bezel? At least they can hide shit there.

Steve Jobs told people they didnt know how to hold their own phones because of their bad antenna design.

 

[Drew1440]

Wait how do full screen games or apps function around the notch, like does the OS crop the screen?

I think some apps add a black bar in the spaces beside the notch so it just looks like a normal bezel

Lol apple are pathetic and so are their customers

 

[HoodWinked]

as someone that's not in the apple ecosystem, it's pretty goofy but that guy is just overblowing it being an issue. too much of this play acting for social media clout.

the notch looks dumb but it does serve a purpose, built in laptop cameras are junk and with the trend towards more and more remote work/learning laptop cameras shouldn't be neglected, it's kind of a weirdly prudent move that other makers would probably just gloss over.

Apple could have just gone for the larger top bezel but hey why not do the notch its free space.

for reference:

Dude sounds like he did a line of coke before posting this.

 

[PSYGN]

The funny thing is that the dumbasses at Apple put themselves in that predicament and now everything they do has to be designed around that notch, but hey it gives them an excuse to cut support for notched models sooner in the future.

I always wondered how MJ went from singing about "just beat it" to avoid fighting, you don't need to prove how tough you are ... to

"I'm bad and I'm basically gonna kick your ass."

COURAGE!!!!

It's definitely NOT top-notch quality!

While I would prefer it's not there as I don't use the camera I really don't notice it at all

It's clickbait of course but no need to defend Apple's questionable design choices or lack of foresight.

i don't mind a notch but if apple doing something like this they should adapt the software. a lot of people hate the notch on a hardware level but fucking up the software is only gonna piss people of more.

also, these things start at £1,900 lmfao. the 16" starts at £2,400. paying that kind of money for that experience is shocking and unacceptable.

 

[Azurro]

I guess I am not in sync with a lot of the tech community, because I don't mind it at all, it is part of the toolbar, so it doesn't take away any screen real estate, gives a decent webcam as well and I doubt there will ever be any media that requires that bit of real estate. So...why does the bitching exists? I haven't heard of people not pre-ordering this thing, so this feels like that time people were boycotting cod due to lack of dedicated servers.
