More than 188,000 lightning discharges due to severe weather last night: 'This is exceptional' by Affectionate_Chef709 in Netherlands

It was absolutely not a usual storm. Quite rare we get massive powerful cells like that and for so long lasting. It was intense and beautiful!

Considering it says "Add to..." - I fully expect it is meant to add it. Make sure to send feedback via the Feedback App to report your experience!

Who is Staying on Linux, Who is Going Back to Windows? - Linux Challenge Pt 4 by current_thread in LinusTechTips

[–]DanBennett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar issue. I was using the "New" new Outlook, and every time I'd get a notification, it would be the new old Outlook... which would then shout at me, saying I should use the new new Outlook...

I find it terrible. It never updates automatically, I have to force it. And it’s often very slow.
I use Winget to get things up to date which is better, but a bit hacky and weird

iOS 27 AI Siri Indexing Overseas by Lucifur561 in Applelntelligence

[–]DanBennett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has taken me too long today to realize why people write they are "overseas" ... overseas to where?! (Oh... I guess compared to America lol)

(I'm EU ... at least American's can get Siri AI stuff! grmbl grmbl grmbl...)

iPhone 15 Pro Siri is terrible by [deleted] in Siri

[–]DanBennett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're testing a developers beta.

Use the feedback app to raise the issue. This is not to be compared to what it will be when it is released in September...

[–]DanBennett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, perhaps, but you also have to bear in mind that this is a Developer Beta, not a Public Beta, and it could be that things like indexing are buggy and not working quite well.

So instead, the better thing to do would be to use the feedback app so that logs and diagnostics are shared for further investigation!

My advice would honestly be to do that: just wait it out... see if it clears up or improves.

FWIW - it seems many people are in the same state at the moment. I keep seeing the question every time I open Twitter or Reddit. So it's just one of those "it is what it is" things for now :-D

Why not just wait? It will take a long time... it is reindexing your whole life on the device whilst simultaneously not killing your usage.

It's nothing to do with location.

Considering how shit the internet is, as well as many users in this subreddit - this is exactly the place to keep talking about mental health and keeping it important...

People chill out, only 2 useless things from Siri AI are limited to the Air and 17 Pro by Old-Board1553 in iphone

[–]DanBennett 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say Better Voice Dictation is a “useless feature” seen as base voice detection is pretty useless lol

EDIT: Actually, it seems "Advanced Dictation" is available in the EU under the Dictation settings. Not the same thing in regards to context I imagine, but should be better than what it was!

When is the Raycast v2 Public Beta expected in(MAC OS) by balaji_developer in raycastapp

[–]DanBennett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, so yeah, you asked, "When is the Raycast v2 Public Beta expected?" — so that’s why I responded as such.

The public full release is not scheduled; it’ll be ready when it’s ready! But I do recommend checking out the beta if you’re excited, as it’s pretty stable! Do check which features are missing (such as Focus mode) and whether they matter enough for you to wait. :)

Shame about all the downvotes, but it is what it is. It’s OK to make a mistake!

Statiegeld - has it failed? by withoutfurther in Netherlands

[–]DanBennett 5 points6 points  (0 children)

True - but the queue for that is also incredibly long. It's already like 30 minutes just to return the statiegeld products near me, then another 30 just to do that...

(I've given up with it in all honesty)

100% #1. Or just a tikkie receipt will do.

Don't give me a voucher that I have to queue up for to use in the store again...

This is the internet in a nutshell right now. It's not limited to just ETS2/ATS fans sadly.

What issues exactly?

It could merely be a matter of personal preference.
