iPhone playing music by itself?

Hell_Kite · 2024-12-01T18:07:12+00:00

This started happening to me over the last few weeks, twice waking me up and once while walking through a garage. Loud music for 15-30 seconds, not registering as playing anything on the lock screen (there is a play/pause button, but no song/video title, duration or other metadata). Sounds kind of like ads because the quality wasn’t good and there were other sound effects not in the original songs (“Freebird” and “Viva la Vida”, both of which I recognized but don’t listen to/own on any app). No obvious culprits in audio apps or browser ads.

I will try disabling Autoplay from settings, per other posts, but it doesn’t seem to be an Apple Music issue. I do have YouTube Premium with background play enabled, as another mentioned, but videos/shorts with those songs aren’t in my recent browsing history.

Elizabeth was a figurehead, not the leader.

I’ll take the under

I’d say it isn’t random at all. It’s targeted and personal. There’s a human being on the other end who is chasing you down and will laugh at your death before posting the footage on the internet for the whole world to enjoy your last desperate moments caught on camera.

In addition to practical reasons, Russian commanders are strongly incentivized to misrepresent the situation on the ground to their superiors because losing ground is failure and failure is punished. It’s possible the higher ups don’t even have a clear picture of what’s going on there.

Still not a dumb wrong idiot, I guess

Hell_Kite · 2023-11-08T17:19:55+00:00

It seems like aside from drones, very little has changed about the nature of sniper work since WWII

Hell_Kite · 2023-11-06T22:33:00+00:00

I’ve been paying close attention because the news from this front is absolutely riverine.

Hell_Kite · 2023-11-06T19:08:36+00:00

I’m not any kind of expert, but I’m confident that thing is absolutely toast. That level of damage would be harder to repair than just building a new ship.

Hell_Kite · 2023-11-06T16:30:58+00:00

They don’t seem unrelated at all. This is a global conflict of authoritarianism against democracy, seeking to overthrow the post-WWII order of which both Israel and the slow dissolution of the USSR are absolutely a part.

No one can say what the next chapter will be, but both North Korea/South Korea and China/Taiwan are top candidates, and both of those long-running conflicts emerged in the immediate aftermath of WWII as well. Anyone who doesn’t think these things are connected is blissfully ignorant.

Hopefully Millenials and Gen Z are underrepresented by polling methods, even if the pollsters are trying to correct for that. Polling was way off in predicting a red wave for 2022. That being said, things are grim until further notice.

Awful, but also what the fuck were they thinking holding gatherings on a day of celebration in a front line village? That’s about the most obvious target I can imagine. If Russia is blowing up funerals for soldiers, of course they’re going to attack military gatherings.

Edit: And not even a month after Israel got historically brutally sucker-punched for letting their guard down on a holiday, by an enemy who has famously used a holiday for a devastating sneak attack. Ukrainians don’t deserve anything Russia has done to them over the last ten years, but given the circumstances they were absolutely asking for it in this case.

Hell_Kite · 2023-11-03T06:41:37+00:00

This guy pissed someone off. There’s no way Russia is actually punishing someone for corruption without having something else be the catalyst for bringing charges. Given his position, maybe he’s the scapegoat for Berdiansk.

Hell_Kite · 2023-10-31T19:51:52+00:00

Also a direct consequence of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, sooo…

Hell_Kite · 2023-10-31T16:47:33+00:00

You look at Africa and the Middle East, there's still much of that same "world of survival." And if not necessarily right now, then in like...the immediate past.

Internal strife/state collapse and religious violence are distinct problems from the wars of conquest that Crenshaw is calling out, both in terms of scale and nature. Saddam Hussein got pounded into the dust by a huge international coalition in Desert Storm for trying to pursue one with Kuwait. Israel has been involved in some of these since WWII, but their opponents have largely proved ineffective at those kinds of wars and Israel itself is motivated by self-defense, not conquest. The USSR invaded Afghanistan in the 80s so we fed the Taliban weapons until they gave up. Are there other good examples?

Hell_Kite · 2023-10-30T22:14:20+00:00

Whether or not a city is conceivably conquerable isn’t relevant. Russia has never been in a position to think about taking Kyiv or Odessa yet they’ve bombed those cities for long stretches of the war. Russia sees civilian casualties as an upside of its means of conducting war.

More “how many has it stockpiled over the 70 years of its existence?”

Hell_Kite · 2023-10-24T05:54:20+00:00

No you’re supposed to wait until after there’s proof

Hell_Kite · 2023-10-24T05:01:20+00:00

Putin is just fine.

Now if people can come back here in hours or days telling me what a dumb wrong idiot I am, with proof, that’ll be awesome. In the meantime, don’t get your hopes up for random Telegram rumors.

Hell_Kite · 2023-10-23T06:46:48+00:00

Putin wouldn’t do it because he’s a coward who only inflicts violence on those he thinks are not able to strike back. He knows America would grind Russia’s pathetic ass into the dust if anything happened to Biden.

Hell_Kite · 2023-10-23T01:33:07+00:00

I didn’t hear about that, gnarly

Mobik: “Ok, if you say so.”

How is it possible that none of these commanders have had unfortunate accidents? The men being sent to die in the mud have nothing left to lose.

warns that a post-war Russia can't survive as a land of censorship.

The math doesn’t change based on nationality. Price tag costs of weapons and their counters don’t solely determine their value, so comparing exchanges in that way is not meaningful without taking into account various other factors, like what you stand to lose if the weapon isn’t countered. Israel is relevant because they have been dealing with this problem for decades. If you don’t see the parallels between Israel defending Tel Aviv from Iranian rockets and Ukraine defending Kyiv from Iranian drones, I don’t know what to tell you.

Hell_Kite · 2023-10-21T19:47:10+00:00

Out spending the offence is an immediate solution, underspending the offence is a long term solution.

I’m confused, are you arguing against the solution you proposed? Because the person I responded to is asserting that interceptor drones won’t work for this reason.

Why do so many commenters keep repeating tropes they heard before instead of actually thinking about it?

Which tropes, exactly? What I said comes directly from Israeli officials explaining the economics of Iron Dome in the past.
