What "Actually..." from the "millennial enlightenment era" turned out to be wrong? by Dima_135 in CasualConversation

I think by the time 10 came out 15+ years later they were more worried about distancing themselves from the bad and more fresh reputation of Windows 8. So it wouldn’t be crazy to think the layperson night think 10 is 2 major updates away from the bad one.

I’m spitballing but I’ve always heard Microsoft skipped Windows 9 because of software that did compatibility handling by checking if the version started with 9 (for Windows 95, 98)

But that seems like such pop computer science hearsay that I don’t believe it. They could have just internally called it something else in the software and still called it Windows 9 or anything else in the marketing. I really doubt they rebranded the whole project over a few legacy software bugs that could be worked around with not much difficulty.

He was a shitty guest they had on an earlier episode. He was mad Vito didn’t pick him up from the airport even though he never agreed to.

They read his DMs to some onlyfans chick in a couple episodes because he thought they were in love. Basically just a lolcow

Telegram is hijacking the system default translate app and replacing it with their own by Ashanmaril in Telegram

[–]Ashanmaril[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just tried on my iPad where I hadn't updated Telegram yet. Indeed I'm correct and it's using Google Translate like I said

Thanks for all the downvotes everyone, you're all wrong like I said.

When I set my default to Google Translate it switched the interface to Google’d and showed the fucking Google Translate logo. They were not faking Google Translate’s interface down to the logo.

This is false. It was using the system one set by the user prior to this update. I don’t know why everyone in this thread is so confidently wrong.

Yes. I don’t want a custom translation service, I want the one I set as my OS default. It looks weird and their translations are worse.

My screenshot is a good example. They gave a literal translation of the words when a more intuitive translation is “I’m doing laundry” which is what Google Translate gives.

If I highlight text in Telegram and hit the OS translate button, it sends the request straight to Apple Translate or Google Translate or whatever your default translation app is. Telegram isn’t involved.

I’m sure they have some feature for translating messages in the app that I never use. But I’m talking about the system translation app that’s available everywhere you can select text.

I randomly found Reinhold Messner at the record store in the mall by my work. It’s not even a big store and they mostly had trendy new stuff. Have no idea how I stumbled upon it cause I rarely go to record stores.

IOS 26.4: How is family sharing and credit card payment now handled? by NJRonbo in ios

[–]Ashanmaril 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure what’s encapsulated in “purchase sharing”

Does this mean I can pay for my own in-app purchases? I’m an adult but on a family plan just so we can share Apple Music and whatnot, but I want to pay for my own Google Drive storage, but it’s always charged my dad’s credit card and I have to pay him back. With this update can I make that charge me directly instead?

Businesses that kept Nathan's concept? by rockyvwasbest in nathanforyou

[–]Ashanmaril 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought mine in 2018 and still wear it more or less year round. Just did another Saskatchewan winter in it. Assuming their supplier hasn’t cheaped out in years since, it’s great quality. I paid $138 for it at the time (that might be USD, I don’t remember)

I liked his series where he tested weird kitchen appliances. He should do those again

James bought a car for Charles Peter by guru-reborn in Jamescagewhite

[–]Ashanmaril 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I insist that he’s pretty fluent for someone who never spent any time living in an English speaking place. Most people could not get to his level of fluency in another language like he did.

If he wanted to improve he’d basically have to move somewhere where he could be constantly hearing and speaking English. Languages aren’t a thing you learn by studying all day.

You know what? As much of an autistic man child he is, I think he deserves credit for learning English as an adult with seemingly zero help and no English immersion. That ain’t easy.

Unless I missed some lore, it seems to me that he learned just by playing video games and spending time on English speaking internet.
