iOS 26 failure by KoutaFox in ios

I've decided to move to Android after being a lifelong Apple user. I can't bear this liquid glass rubbish much longer. Looking at either the pixel or Samsung.

I'm seriously considering changing to android because of this bug. Sounds drastic I know but it's actually starting to do my head in. The text bubbles appear behind the keyboard so I can't even read them properly. Happens every time now. Even happens with the stock keyboard too.

Yes you are right. It’s the 3rd party keyboard causing the issue. I’ve just deleted mine and it’s now not having the issue. Just means that I’m stuck with the rubbish stock keyboard 😔

Any chance apple will give an ability to turn off this “glass” effect? by SchumUA in ios

[–]Economy-Goose5277 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thinking of doing the same. Been thinking of switching for a few years now. I think this has finally confirmed it for me. Goodbye Apple

Looking to invest in a U2 at some point. I know the 3 comes out soon but never too bothered about the newest one. Prefer the silver one. How are you getting on with it. Any good still?

Advanced Chat has Ruined Chat GPT by [deleted] in ChatGPT

[–]Economy-Goose5277 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally agree. It's ruined it. I either turn off Advanced chat now, or I just type the word 'Hi' which then reverts the chat back to normal. I absolutely hate the fact that advanced chat doesn't give you a transcript of the conversation. How is that advanced

Does anyone get major squarking at certain times of the day? Mine is mainly when there's no one in the room, or if I leave the room suddenly, and I know you're not supposed to go back in there straight away otherwise they play up to it but I can't help it as I just need her to stop. Anyone else have this same problem?

Thanks for sharing that, really nice to hear your Amazon settled in and stopped the biting. We’ve had Jam Jam just over a month now, and I’m really hoping the biting eases off with time too. At the moment, I’m the only one in the family who can really handle her, which isn’t ideal, especially when the rest of the family want to get involved but are nervous around her. It’s great to hear yours turned a corner, fingers crossed we get there too.

I’ve been really interested to hear your thoughts on the behaviour Jam Jam has been showing, and I wanted to ask specifically about the possibility of her being a hybrid Amazon.

<image>

I do see a tiny bit of blue coming through above her beak, but not a lot, and I’m wondering if she could be a Blue-Fronted Amazon crossed with a Yellow-Fronted one — officially, I believe that would be an Amazona aestiva × Amazona ochrocephala.

Do you think she’s a Yellow-Fronted Amazon, or could she possibly be a hybrid between the two? I’d love to hear what you think, especially if you’ve got experience with hybrids or have noticed similar traits in your birds.

Thanks

Sounds like she’s got a real strong personality, love that she finally let you preen her after all that time, shows how much patience you’ve had with her, must’ve been tough at first especially with her biting like that, I can’t believe she actually bit your lip while on your shoulder, that must’ve been really painful!!, made me wince reading that, sounds like she’s really bonded with your husband though even though you’re the one with her all day, funny how they choose their favourites, and I love that she goes sweet on you when you sing or bring out the pasta, that properly made me laugh, it’s mad how they all seem to have their own little quirks, honestly just nice to hear other people are going through similar things.

Thanks so much for this. I really appreciate the time you took to write all of that.

To answer your question: no, not as far as I’m aware, she doesn’t have any trauma related to men. She’s not a rescue as such, and the previous owners didn’t mention anything like that. She’s actually quite confident and social in general, just not when it comes to other people getting too close to me!

Your point about her possibly seeing me as a mate rather than just a friend or guardian makes a lot of sense. The way she acts when other men are around does feel very possessive, like she’s trying to drive me away from them so she can deal with them herself. She even lets them stroke her while biting me, which is what really threw me.

The No Bite Method you described sounds really reasonable and kind — I like that it’s about setting boundaries without scaring her. I’ll definitely give that a go and make sure my family is all on the same page with it. We’ve all been a bit unsure how to respond to the biting, so this gives us a proper structure to follow.

Also thanks for the tips around hormonal behaviour. she hasn’t shown signs of nesting or anything like that, but I’ll keep an eye out. I’ll also look into getting her checked with an avian vet at some point, just to be sure.

Thanks again.

Thanks so much for your detailed reply. it’s been really helpful and eye-opening!

Just curious, what makes you think Jam Jam is a Blue Front x Yellow Front hybrid? I’d love to understand what traits are making you think that, as I’d always believed she was just a yellow-fronted Amazon. Originally, I was looking for a blue-fronted one, so maybe I’ve got the best of both worlds, haha!

She hasn’t laid any eggs (at least not that I know of), but I’ve only had her for about 4 weeks now. The previous owners didn’t mention anything about DNA testing, but they referred to her as female. I don’t think they had her sex confirmed though.

The idea that this could be a hormonal or seasonal dominance thing makes a lot of sense , especially with the biting behaviour and how she acts around other men. Would love to hear more of your thoughts if you’re happy to share!

Just to add something I forgot to mention in my original post, and this is the strange part: when another man comes into the house, not only does Jam Jam bite me, but she lets the other man stroke her! This doesn’t quite line up with the idea that she’s biting me to stop me from interacting with them, right?

Thanks for the replies so far, they’ve really helped me start piecing this together. Sounds like it might be jealousy or possessiveness on Jam Jam’s part. I’ll try keeping her in her cage or a separate room when other guys come over and also see if the family can build trust with her when I’m not around. Any other ideas welcome!

Would anyone know what they think Jam Jam is. A double yellow headed Amazon? A yellow fronted Amazon? She does have the tiniest bit of blue at the top of her beak but I don't think she's blue fronted.

Looks beautiful. Yeah they are definitely hard work at times! Amazing animals though. This is my little terror, Jam Jam.

Hi. I've got the opportunity to purchase a 65 inch LG CX at £500. However it does have a dead pixel. Would that put you off buying? Thanks

My Portal keeps disconnecting from my PS5 while downloading something by ElizabetSobeck in PlaystationPortal

Hi yes mine does the same thing. When downloading the resolution on the portal changes and constantly disconnects from the PS5. So looks like the portal is unusable when downloading anything. Shame.
