    QuickType and Autocorrect on iOS12

    I am not sure if it's just me but I feel that QuickType and Autocorrect have been awful for the past few versions of iOS, maybe since they started implementing heavy Machine Learning algorithms to predict what the user is trying to type. As a person that switches between languages many times a...

    MacBook Pro model suggestions

    In the market for a MBP, just had a few questions: Is the new-style keyboard really that bad? If not, I guess I'll wait and see if anything is announced at WWDC. If it really is terrible, which model is the most recent without the butterfly keyboard? Am I right in thinking the 2015 models are...
