I don’t use macbooks very often because I don’t own one, but whenever I do I can’t believe that the trackpad doesn’t actually move. Whatever combination of pressure sensitivity and haptics they have crammed in there is nothing short of amazing.
When I owned one years ago, I legit had no idea for the first few months.
The first time I clicked it with the power off I panicked and assumed I’d somehow jammed it or something. 😄
I like this for moving files to SD cards. You could select a bunch of files and get an idea if they will fit without actually looking at the numbers. You would just get a feel for what, 16, 32, 64 gb feels like.
Imagine if file weight corresponded to actual file size.
On spinning hard disks, it does.
neat idea, I like it. However, determining the value of a file by its size does not actually work as an analogy. There may be super important things that are stored as small text files while other huge files can be of less interest. But I do like to idea of playing with file “weight”-probably make the file heavier when doing permanent actions such as deleting?
