I HAVE SAID IT IS AN ISSUE IN SOME CASES!!!!!
My friend, I do mid-sized theater in New Orleans ... I promise you that currency per se is not the appropriate currency here. (But bottles of something? Yes indeed.) I hope the Macbeth is bringing in the crowds, damn it's good to be back.
Not sure what you mean here? This whole thing started with my two cents so its not me that dragged this whole thing out. I said I didn't find that circle distracting. Could you be more clear what you mean here? Are you saying only people that DO have this issue should be allowed to post in this thread?
I do not recall writing about circles. perhaps you are confusing things?
No insult, but I do think that when Apple hired for that presentation, their expectation would most likely have been that Steve WAS the presentation and the Keynote projection was merely his backing.
Yeah that was my entire argument that there are some professional works that this doesn't impact due to business and opinion differences out there in the world. Again this all started with just my two cents so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I can definitely see the security reason why it shows on all screens. What if you set this up and never look at the main display for the 2-5 hour event (or however long it is)? And suddenly your mic gets activated? You won't notice it unless its projecting everywhere. This is why our IT staff remoting software shows up a notice on all screens because my focus might be on my secondary display and I won't notice it happening on my primary display.
Nobody has a prpblem with you stating you don't find it distracting.
I have said that if its at the point where it brings down your business, DOWNGRADE TO BIG SUR!!! I have said this repeatedly! And you should NEVER EVER under any circumstances update a mission critical system to the point where it brings down your entire business. I have indeed addressed that side......many times. So please tell me how I’m not comprehending it when I clearly discussed it many times. And in no way did I say my experience should equate to all experiences. In fact, the opposite was implied where "don’t mind the circle? Unprofessional!" THAT was when I was calling for empathy or just seeing the other side instead of resorting to insults. I was in no way saying those losing their business should do that, but those saying I’m unprofessional for my stance should.
To me it is more distracting that an orange dot. Sorry but that is just how I operate. And yes that title/action safe will prevent the orange dot from obstructing the content (as shown in my images). I have also said every Apple presentation I watch I need to watch it two or three times because the movement of people distract me from some of those cool slides they like to show. To me, that is far more distracting than a static orange circle. Again, just my two cents.
...and this is why people are calling you out. Your opinion isn't in line with how this profession works. In live presentation, it's all about making it seamless.
So no business can operate differently here? It is, 100% guaranteed a MUST to be an issue for this orange circle? That no business would have different opinions on the matter? Yes businesses have opinions not just me. It’s similar to the watermark I mentioned before. Some of my clients need it on there. You might find it distracting, they don’t. Oh we got an opinion there don’t we? But I thought you said opinions don’t matter?
This has been a discussion about whether the orange dot is a serious issue in various artisitc contexts or not, about artistic concerns, and whether it could affect work/income.
That can literally be applied to everything though. What is a molehill is a mountain for someone. I’m sure there is some business out there that is having a fit about the future of Intel in macs. To them, it’s a mountain.
I think Apple doesn't really care about professional users anymore and is slowly trying to extricate itself from that market. This lack of care, or more accurately lack of caring about professional needs, is what will drive professional users to other more supported platforms and I think Apple is OK with that happening. Apple wants high volume high profit business. The professional market is too small to really matter to Apple other than for prestige, which seems to be less important to Apple as time goes on.
I can’t imagine a scenario where the person running a show would not be paying any attention to their actual control screen during that show, but even if that was somehow the case, the scenario they are talking about is one where they actually activated the mic themselves, so they already know it is on and if someone else somehow hacks in at that point, there would be no change to the indicator anyway, so it serves absolutely no security purpose at that point. It would honestly be more important for them to know the mic was off, but in that scenario, once again, they would have to not be paying any attention to the show they are presenting (or listening at all) to not notice the mic cut out.
Absolutely nothing. This is showing up on the second presentation screen even when the menu is hidden, though.
Nobody was refuting that different businesses operate differently. Yet despite them operating differently, all of them are having to deal with the orange dot whether it's a problem for that particular situation or not. The fact that it's not 'officially' avoidable is the issue.
Sorry pal, but ****, if they take peoples money, they better give them what they want. I bought a Mac before this feature, am I to blame for Apple‘s garbage updates? Nope, because they develop these updates with my money. They make it look like as if the users with their feedback are in charge for change, let them put their mouths where our money is.
