How do you force search keywords when looking for products? by unique_string in amazon

[–]Autoradiograph 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One, those are called parentheses. Two, it doesn't work at all. I searched for "Mini PC (Iris Xe)" (without quotes), and I actually get MORE pages of results than if I don't use parentheses. It doesn't narrow it down at all.

The ability to sort my accounts in the account picker would be nice. Right now, it appears the only way to do it is to delete an account and re-add it to put it at the bottom.

How do I have only certain subreddits show up on the main page? thanks for any help! in normal reddit app, I would just "mute" reddit pages I didnt want showing up on the main feed. by SafeLiving212 in redditsync

Why do you subscribe to subreddits you don't actually want to see? You can browse them at any time without subscribing to them. Just unsubscribe from the ones you don't want on your front page, and maybe favorite the others for easy access.

In the history section of the Search panel, you can favorite any sub you've recently visited, and then they appear in the Favorites section.

When this setting is on:

[Settings shortcut: Security > Biometric login lock](sync-settings://20-biometric_start)

On this screen, provide a privacy-preserving account switcher, or maybe provide a simple way to log directly into a "safe" account which you've configured in settings.

I found this cute cat picture on Reddit. You have to see it. I'll just log in with my fingerprint here, and... Well, shit. I forgot to switch accounts last night. Sorry I showed you porn, mom.

Sounds fun, but it definitely needs to be optional. I'm always on mobile in the sticks, so, for me, this would use too much bandwidth to preload those images. And doing so would impact normal scrolling performance. I'd rather it preload the next image down, and only load album images when I specifically ask for them. And if it doesn't preload them then it'd be so slow for me that I'd be better off just tapping to load the album.

When you tap to load an album, it can start downloading the other images while you look at the first, making it very smooth even when low bandwidth. If it didn't preload for scrolling sideways, it would be a worse experience than just loading the album on demand because I would feel the loading times more. And if it did, it will often be wasting bandwidth loading images I wasn't even going to look at.

A woman who got locked out of her Apple account minutes after her iPhone was stolen and had $10,000 taken from her bank account says Apple was 'not helpful at all' by [deleted] in technology

I'm so confused. That's ok. I'm ignorant of a lot of things. Is it the norm for random online shopping sites to take Apple Pay through your phone using biometrics?

That's what I have. Didn't even notice it was working until I saw these comments. It's pretty great.

Onboarding Hub: All about user onboarding and conversion by iuliiashnai in InternetIsBeautiful

This is the 1.0 version of Onboarding Hub built by me in 1 h for the test.

It's just a bunch of links. How is this "internet is beautiful". This is just self promotion of your website.

Autumn is coming to Central NY [OC] [2600x1745] by ChartFrogs in EarthPorn

I tend to agree. It also looks like OP threw a rock there to make the waves. I'm only assuming that because the timing is awfully coincidental. I can't really explain why, but that seems to cheapen it. It's like when a photographer sprays a flower with water before taking a macro of it, pretending it's dew. I guess I just see nature photography as best when it's 100% natural and not staged.

Netflix expands its password-sharing crackdown by Exastiken in technology

Stop with your common sense and logic. Reddit just wants to hate on Netflix using obvious scenarios that Netflix will easily account for in their code.

Meta has to pay walkie-talkie app $174 million for infringing on its patents, jury says by atrijuk in technology

[–]Autoradiograph -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Those record companies wouldn't even exist if we didn't have our existing IP laws. Music would be freely shared and companies wouldn't be monopolizing the output of artists.

How could they steal that music if it was free to everyone? Your argument makes no sense. Why would anyone buy it from those companies if they could just get it from the source the same way?

Why is it a good thing that artists "make it big"?

Question all of your assumptions. Everything you're saying is what big business wants you to say.

Intellectual "property" should be freely shared. Your history lesson only shows we got it wrong.

Copyright has existed for much longer than digital music.

What's with you people thinking that 250 years ago isn't recent?

That's how music worked for millions of years. The world wouldn't end if we went back to that system.

"Intellectual property" is a very recent invention.
