“the 15 hours customers get free with premium equates to two audiobooks” Is the average audiobook really that short!

For eragon it would takes months to finish.

The hobbit is 10 hours.

Think most of the books I’ve listened to have been over that length, but I don’t use Spotify. Self hosting for the win. No time limits in prologue

It looks like Linux support is going to be actually actively looked at again soon with playnite 11, so there is still hope

I use playknight, though I still don’t buy from epic.

Play knight gives me an overview of all humble keys I haven’t used as well as gog, steam, epic, etc.

Just helps me make sure I don’t buy a game on sale that I own

For me it’s much easier to lock the phone by holding any volume and power then to remember the sequence needed to force power of the phone.

Clicking 5 times on power is probably faster, but I forgot that existed and if I’m trying to do something quickly essentially squeezing my phone is easier than trying to tap the correct side 5 times quickly under pressure. And much easier to me then trying to remember the force power off sequence and performing it without looking under stress.

Especially on the iPhone 15 pros there is now another button so getting the up down up power means finding the correct up button.

I’ve looked up that sequence numerous times when I’ve needed to force reboot and I still forget it half the time.

Can they force you to look at your phone though? Attention aware Face ID requires eyes ball on screen.

And as others have stated, holding volume up and power u til the iPhone vibrates locks the phone requiring the passcode.

Sure but holding volume up and power until the phone vibrates is a much faster and easier method and there is little worry you might accidentally call 911. It’s also easier to do without looking.

It has a countdown before calling with vibrations on every number.

🙄 sideloading alt store at least does not void your warranty.

Software in general won’t void your hardware warranty. That’s ridiculous.

I had this as well, it’s because the pinned version will still be pointing to the old version even after you agreed to upgrade.

You have to unpin the old version, and pin the new version.

Reallllly stupid upgrade from them.

Search, I’m a programmer and frequently need clips of text I’ve used before, especially with some sap stuff I do. I don’t need to edit that much, but I do pin, tag, and label snippets a lot.

Sap backend data has a lot of “keys” related to my test user that I need repeatedly, the key for the user, the key for their position, the department, etc. and having them all in my clipboard is very practically.

For keeping copy paste stuff, I use a clipboard manager that lets me edit and pin and search the clip board history

RCS would be a good solution if the standards committee wasn’t so held back by not adding an official end to end encryption method. Probably telecoms not wanting to give up the data mining.

Laws are only as good as the enforcers are financed. The irs has been underfunded a lot.

He didn’t even manage to donate all the money they claimed to have on their tax filings from over a year ago. There is another entire indie land after that at least.

So no. He hasn’t even donated all the money. His “apology” was also pretty much a non apology. “Sorry if you felt mislead”.

Anyone remember when Evernote added a limit to how many devices can be logged into your account on the free plan? I remember. I stopped using them immediately after that. Couldn’t be logged in on my computer, iPhone, and iPad.

Meanwhile Apple notes got much better so I just use that.

Have you actually installed and run it? I know there were quite a few games that steam claimed couldn’t be run because of that and still did. I don’t remember if portal is one of them though.

Battleblock theater for instance says it can’t but still does.

Doesn’t portal already run on the Mac since forever?

Oddly enough YouTube only seems to be ramping up its antiadbpocker campaign on their desktop version. The mobile version of the site works fine without ads.

And m.2 drives at gen four are at like 7000MB/s for reads. And those drives have gotten significantly cheaper over the last half year or so. Gen 5 hits speeds of like 12000MB/s

I got a 2tb gen 4 for 100 recently so my computer now has 3tb of m.2 drives for total of 170 euros spent.

M2 pcie 4 drives are getting pretty cheap recently. I got a 2tb one for 100 with a heat sink on sale. My main from Kingston was 70 with 1tb

Or another person who just can’t let someone who likes apple devices, like them.

The op post is pretty terrible. It’s insultingly in their superior complex. That’s what most extreme “all users who do x” takes are.

The response wasn’t that there is no other way to fulfill this list of things that they like, but that for them, apple devices fulfill this list of things.

I’ve used plenty of OSes. I switch between Linux for our servers, windows on my work computer and my gaming computer, and apples oses on the apple devices I own. I prefer macos to windows any day. That’s my personal preference. You prefer Linux? Good, have fun. Windows? Sure, whatever floats your boats.
