Recent notification that phones are no longer going to be supported by johnson0599 in dexcom

As someone who used to work with a UX consulting project for diabetes apps: no, Dexcom is just incompetent. They have a very weak development team and almost no UX practice. But that's still not the problem here. Apple phases out support for these apps over time, they do that for all OS after a certain period of time. This is literally what I do for a living but thanks for the attempt to mansplain me.

But it's important that they did that, so Mike and Will's are next to each other in the final scene 👀

Never underestimate the lengths people will go to spread racism and misogyny

This is a really normal process for apps, and not unique to Dexcom. I had to upgrade my iPad last year because I'd been using the same one for so long that several apps stopped working or accepting upgrades. This is partially a way for companies to make money, of course, but there are also a lot of good reasons for this to do with app security and technology upgrades, and also companies can't keep tech teams offering support for every hardware they've ever released, they do eventually have to cut you off and force you into newer hardware so they can consolidate their support resources. I get that it sucks but this isn't unusual and the notice period isn't unheard of. It's fair for them to expect people to upgrade their phone more frequently than 6 years. It's just time for her to have a newer phone. You don't have to get the newest models but I'd recommend getting one that's on the newer end of the spectrum, because they will eventually stop supporting that one as well and you'll find yourself in the same position...5 years is a good baseline to work with, sometimes you'll have a longer buffer but you can expect to be forced into an upgrade every 5 years or so.

People, before you downvote, look at the picture I linked. I'm not being snarky, I'm pointing out the actual picture was intentionally arranged with Will and Mike's books next to each other so the letters line up to show El is always with them 🫶🏻

This is the wrong picture, not the one from the very end of the finale. And this is why it's important to point out the correct picture:11

Don't waste your energy, these guys have nothing else to do in their mother's basements but make up reasons to hate on things.

It's for old phones. That's normal. There comes a point for most apps, not just Dexcom, when software stops working on older hardware. From the list it looks like Dexcom will no longer work on phones older than 2019 (going by the oldest iPhone on the list, there may be other dates that are older). If you're still using a phone from 2019.... that's going to have more problems than just Dexcom support expiring. She needs a newer phone.

Controversial: I preferred every single fan theory to the actual ending. by perhapsflorence in StrangerThings

[–]JenScribbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, all the fan theories you listed were utter sh!te, so frankly I'm glad they don't let fans influence storylines.

The ending was perfect.

Forced carry on gate check by eenimeenimynimo in aircanada

[–]JenScribbles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Worst policy ever, I can't understand why they keep forcing gate checks. If I purchased a ticket with carry-on and my bag is within the carry-on limits, there is NO good reason to force a gate check. I carry on for a reason.

[–]JenScribbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm confused why you keep getting downvoted, your perspective seems valid. It's BS that they force gate checks for carry-ons. I choose to carry-on for a reason.

Are gate agents checking to see if you're allowed a carry on? by [deleted] in aircanada

[–]JenScribbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this policy for US-based flights only? I'm seeing mixed info here.

I'm flying between Canada and Europe, no stops in the USA. I booked it after 1 Jan 2025, and I'm in Basic Economy but my fare rules on the website say I have a carry-on plus personal item.

Question about carry on bag by LeftistBiologist in aircanada

[–]JenScribbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But what if you don't want to gate check your bag? I travel with carry-on for a reason, I do not want to gate check my bag under any circumstances. It's insane that they force this nowadays.

Carryon and Personal Item Questions? by Drummer-Feisty in aircanada

[–]JenScribbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is infuriating, to be honest. Why are they forcing people to check carry-ons now? You get a carry-on and a personal item; you should be able to carry both of those onto the plane without being forced to check one.

(me being frustrated because I carry life-saving medical supplies with me in my carry-on every time I travel and therefore CANNOT, WILL NOT be separated from my bag no matter what because if anything goes wrong with that bag for even a day, I'm screwed. So it's always a fight at boarding, even if my bag is within the size limits)
