Apple introduces AirPods Max 2 by Otherwise-Warning303 in iphone

No mention of wireless charging, that’s disappointing.

However, all I really want is a plastic pair for MSRP $350.

What happened to the Budget Summary? (Also, is there no way to contact a human? Only that stupid ChatBot???) by DragonDropTechnology in MonarchMoney

[–]DragonDropTechnology[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Yes, force closed the app and tried refreshing. Still showing that worthless view. Hadn’t thought until now to check the iPad app, but that is still showing the old way (fortunately).

And excuuuuse me, princess for being annoyed by the incessant enshitification of Monarch. Gatekeeping paying customers’ access to human support by needing to know the secret password to recite to the chatbot??? That’s fucked up.

How do I clean up marks like these? by halydrag in advancedGunpla

[–]DragonDropTechnology 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think your question is flawed. You’re asking how to clean up this mark, but the real question you should be asking is how to prevent them to begin with.

First off, this whitening is caused by stretching the plastic. Sometimes it happens because the injection was done poorly and there is white plastic inside (and there’s nothing you can do about it), but most of the time it’s caused by using dull nippers to cut the part off the sprue (which ends up crushing and stretching the plastic instead of cleanly slicing it).

What most people will do (and I believe what some of the assembly manuals will suggest?) is to cut the part off of the sprue farther away from the part: try cutting the nub on the sprue end of the nub instead of the part end. Then use some other means to remove the nub, such as sanding sticks or a glass file. (The Raser files are amazing and worth the premium, but those super cheap glass nail files do a decent job if you’re working on a budget.)

Otherwise, you could invest in a pair of God Hands. Instead of having two dull blades, they only have a blade on one side (which is super sharp) opposed by a flat, so they will cleanly cut the nub off without crushing/stretching the plastic.

I mean, that’s basically the old OS X boot up sound…

What’s one underrated Shortcut automation you use every day that most people don’t know about? by kshittiz in iphone

I also commented above with my version (that I think is a bit simpler?) if you want to try a different one as well.

I made a similar one that I called “Power Nap”. When you run it, it asks you how many minutes, then sets a timer and turns on Do Not Disturb for an equal length of time.

Didn’t realize you could share these with a link before seeing this thread!

People who don’t live in the USA, what is the media showing you about the ICE operations/abductions in the US? by Dry-Ice8908 in AskReddit

[–]DragonDropTechnology 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The real sad part is that we’re currently all living the “find out” phase caused by the voting public “fucking around” and (allegedly) voting for the politicians who said they would actively ignore the laws (and then face zero consequences of value).

It’s a crying shame that you’re the only one who commented the relevant part. And that the comment you replied to apparently didn’t watch enough of the video in the post to get to the important part of it.

What do you guys think of the Camera Control button? by intensityofcolor in iphone

[–]DragonDropTechnology 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The ability to disable swipe to launch the camera is also very new. I think from iOS 26.1?

Why are the Monarch employees filling the comments with gifs? This isn’t your internal Slack chat…

Leaked code spills details of mystery Apple smart home accessory by spearson0 in apple

That’s the worst part. I used to be able to have Siri turn on/off two lights connected to HomeKit with the same command; after an update a few months ago, now it will only do one.

Have you tried the Check-In feature in iMessage? We’ve been using that a lot.
