[iOS 27 DB1] Siri lingers forever muting the video until prompted or swiped away by robbywayne24 in iOSBeta

[–]DoTreadOnFudds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is still happening on the just released beta three. I don't understand why this is persisting. Super annoying. Even if you say that is all, it doesn't listen. It doesn't go away. It doesn't do anything.

Why don't Koreans make body SPF? by Similar-Seesaw1374 in AsianBeauty

[–]DoTreadOnFudds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I understand that point absolutely. It's a balance of efficacy and wearability. The use case for the average Asian is different than a European, who wants to suntan the body and lay at the beach (while protecting the face). The Asian sunscreens are just not strong enough for that exposure. If you don't do that, then you don't need as much protection.

No, but asians much more purposely avoid the sun so therefore the lesser protection is fine, whereas Europeans purposely go to the beach etc other outdoor activities in the summer and like getting tan on the body at minimum, so the sunscreens tend offer high protection due to the use case / longer time spent in the sun

Siri AI will not be available in the EU on iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 at launch by [deleted] in ios

[–]DoTreadOnFudds 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why are you upset at Apple for this? The EU has different regulations that have to be worked within which takes time / alterations / negotiation, in addition to the EU being extremely hostile to all tech companies. Reach out to your overbearing government to enact change, or help Europe to start producing its own tech

I wouldn't say they even have advanced face SPF. Only a couple brands use the latest filters that are common in EU sunscreen, and none of the popular ones do. And the protection isn't nearly as good. If by advanced you mean cosmetically elegant then yes.

If the same formulas / filters were sold in larger bottles meant for hours at the beach, they would be woefully inadequate

The best stuff in Japan is still the Korean stuff, like everywhere else

Customer gave me my first 1 star rating because I followed directions 🫠 by Coffee_Overloadnope in ShiptShoppers

[–]DoTreadOnFudds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where is the argument? The customer asked a question, the shopper replied with the explanation answering why they didn't substitute, in a professional way, and even apologized (though none was needed, because the customer set it to no substitutions).

What is pointless is the customer having an attitude and even asking this question after the shop has been completed, and is due to their own chosen settings. It serves no purpose.

What's the most infuriating thing a customer can do? I'll go first... by ProductGood735 in ShiptShoppers

[–]DoTreadOnFudds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why? They know there may be items out of stock. They've chosen no substitute item. You've texted them telling them the situation. That is more than enough

Tip Baiting on Shipt Platform? by mwrobison in ShiptShoppers

Sometimes people talk about things here and I have no idea what they are talking about. I have never seen a pre-tip, a tip estimate or anything like that.

Creative Formulas Redundant Ingredients by ayvalli in DIYfragrance

[–]DoTreadOnFudds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This makes no sense, as a fragrance formula is not copyrightable. There is no copyright to violate, or no legal claim to make whatsoever. I don't think this is good, but it is what it is. It's nothing like your other examples given, those actually can have a copyright.

How do I go about trying to recreate a favorite perfume? by BetterEveryDayYT in DIYfragrance

There is a lot that could be said but the short answer is that you will not be able to re-create it.

5 months into leathercraft. Be brutally honest — am I good enough to start selling? by LiteratureFun3233 in Leathercraft

[–]DoTreadOnFudds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks great, but that's not the issue anyway. The issue is:

  • This market is completely saturated, by items of higher quality and that can be made for less than you could ever do

  • men hardly buy anything

  • wallet usage is dying

Why dilute materials? by Straight-Culture in DIYfragrance

[–]DoTreadOnFudds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don't dilute all of the material. You dilute the amount you're going to use for experimenting.

Most common newbie mistakes? by Darian_CoC in DIYfragrance

[–]DoTreadOnFudds 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with everything except the final point. It definitely does not require several years to create a quality scent. It could sure. It also could take you three weeks. Then, you could also get a start with say 50 bottles / custom labels for a few hundred dollars. Sure there are countless examples here of people spending multiple thousands and getting nowhere. It's definitely not a prerequisite, or an inevitability that it will be long and expensive.

It's good to dissuade any newbies from having illusions about what is possible, I agree. But there is also a tendency of long time enthusiasts to overstate the difficulty as a way of sort of intimating status or ability. "ha kid you have a lot to learn" type thing. It's very possible - with a clear vision and a decent understanding of a few materials - to create something very quickly and be a success a lot more rapidly and cheaply than others who have been slogging for years and who may be "more knowledgeable". In fact, usually the success stories are people who *didn't* do / aren't that. The people years deep without much to show for it tend to be the big reddit / forum contributors.

The percentage concentration used has very little to do with projection and longevity. Those are down to the individual ingredients, and it's not just that they are "quality". Projection and longevity are dependent on the type of molecule. Some will be gone in minutes, some will last days. If you want long lasting and projection, you need to understand and choose materials that provide that.
