That makes sense, but if iOS 11 is slower than 10 then it goes against Apple saying it's faster than iOS 10. They may be accurate, but only on iPhone 8+, which means they are lying by omission.
And seriously: if we started suing tech companies for lying by omission then (a) the world would be a more accurate place, and (b) there'd be no tech companies left.

I think Apple is going to go the way of Walmart. Sam Walton made Walmart great and it made it was it was (at first). Excellent customer service and cheap prices. He died. It went to crap. I've always been an Apple fan boy, but the main driver behind Apple's innovations is now no longer with us. It's only a matter of time, they can only coast on the coattails of Steve Job's brilliance for so long.

Ummm... before ditching the iPhone 6. Have you tried using iTunes to back it up, resetting to "factory" and restoring from back-up?
My iPhone 7 handled the iOS 11 update fine but my iPad Air got a little wonky. Not as bad as you're describing but wonky none the less. After the backup, reset, restore she is right as rain.

I did that over the weekend and it's definitely improved things. Not perfect, but way better.
You're a legend - thank you!

My question would be - what does Wozniak make of this move?

Woz is happy with his 8 which he says is the same as the 7 which he says is the same as the 6. He won't be upgrading to the X anytime soon.
He's right and wrong about the 8, though. Wireless charging is a much needed (and late) feature that's finally nice to have. Also the 7 is waterproof (again, important and late to the party) whereas the 6 isn't.
I personally think Steve his spinning in his grave about the notch in the X. A silly unnecessary compromise.

Yeah! Killing off both Daryl and Michone in the first few minutes of the battle! Wow!

No spoilers - just thought it was confusing, waste of time episode. Has jumped the shark.

I thought the shark was well and truly leapt last season.

At least you got some sort of warning with the subject line.
Last year someone posted a major spoiler in a seemingly unrelated thread.

I'm still on Season 4, Episode 15 (they just killed off the two young girls.) Got sort of bored with the grunge. I'll get there eventually.

Over the seasons, the plot holes have gotten massively bigger and more numerous and the characters dumber, which makes it increasingly difficult to binge watch the latest season, so I still have Season 7 queued up.
(I've got a few shows like that, including one that I know goes completely off the rails and wasn't renewed, which makes me waiting until I otherwise drained the queue and even then, I'm not sure I want to bother.)

I just bought a Raspberry Pi 83-16561RK Broadcom BCM2837 64-bit ARMv8 Quad-Core Processor at 1.2 GHz 'kit' - my first venture into the world of such things. It's comes with all you need (power supply &etc) so I can eliminate some of the prep until I know what I want to do with it. I saw it. I wanted it. As of a few seconds ago, my credit card has been charged for it.
For better or for worse, I'm about to learn something.

As long as what you learn is "this is fun" rather than "that was the rent money" you'll be fine!

I just received mine today, I've had several versions of the Pi and it's a lot of fun.
I haven't done anything but play with it up until now but there are a couple of projects I'm considering.
Shameless plug: I also wrote several articles about Pi if interested.
Enjoy

Enjoy - doing stuff with these SBC's is a lot of fun.
And check out The PI Hut
Also, Derek Malloy is a god when it comes to this stuff, he originally wrote the bible on the Beaglebone but now has a book on the rPI. Highly recommended, even if the book costs more than the rPI!
