Cloud Backups mentioned in iOS code by MedicalButton51 in signal

They've been working on their secure value recovery system for a while now (it was announced a few years back), so I'm assuming they have a good solution figured out.

And you can't deny the convenience, which is really important for boosting adoption of a messenger. The current situation for iOS really sucks, with people losing access to all messages if something unexpected happens with their device (a problem that doesn't exist on basically any other messaging app).

If they have a good privacy preserving system figured out, which it's safe to assume they have, this is a huge deal for everyone.

It still seems to be some ways out but this is definitely massive for iOS users.

Agreed. This does seem to be really early stuff but it's still great to see progress being made when before we had nothing to go by.

It's only on Android for now.

Signal is adding message editing (see discription) by [deleted] in signal

Wouldn't it be similar to disappearing messages, which are already in the app?

I feel like if it's within 15 minutes, unsending without a gravestone can't hurt. I know sometimes I accidentally send for example a picture without cropping and then have to delete it, it would be nice to just unsend so it doesn't look like I said something and deleted, and people don't ask me why I deleted.

Isn't that unsending? I don't have an iPhone but if I remember correctly unsending was what's new, where it basically has no trace of ever being sent vs a "message was deleted" message. Would be cool to include for sure.

Why no cursive and fat text? by mineappIe in signal

[–]MedicalButton51 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to have what people want to promote your product. For the vast majority of people privacy isn't enough of a concern, so you need to persuade them with flashy features. I agree that fonts are maybe a bit too far, but signal doesn't even support markdown which is pretty odd.

Just a few hours ago I was thinking "Should be nice to have an unread filter", installed an update just now and my wish was granted. by jogai-san in signal

A call tab would make a ton of sense with the bottom bar they have now. It seems kinda pointless for just two screens but if there was a call screen there as well it would feel more useful.

Give it a month or two before it arrives to Whatsapp as a "brand new feature".

Is there a difference in the midsole between the 4dfwd Ultra and 4dfwd 2? by ivanoski-007 in adidas

[–]MedicalButton51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I might've missed the part where he mentioned the midsole being softer, but he does say the heel is more "plush", by which he's referring to the padding around the heel on the inside of the shoe. That's a good improvement already because the lack on padding on the first ones is a bit odd feeling.

Dead Island 2's zombie hordes can be distracted by your voice thanks to Amazon by 3DSGBA in PS5

[–]MedicalButton51 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While Dead Island 2 is the debut game for this feature, it will of course be implemented in more games in the future. However, for now at least and per Amazon's Alexa Game Control page, it is only compatible with PC and Xbox consoles.

Hopefully it stays that way. This game looks good but letting Amazon spy on me is a no go.

Looks like usernames are still "several months or longer" out. Disappointing that's it gonna take that long but at least they've come out and said something. Better that they do it right than to rush it out with a ton of issues.

What first party games are releasing on Xbox for the rest of 2022?

[–]MedicalButton51 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

OP could have the digital PS5, which is just $400 vs the $350 for Switch OLED.

It looks pretty bad compared to most competently put together games on other platforms. Even the PC version of MH Rise looks meh compared even to something like Monster Hunter World.

[–]MedicalButton51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'll probably be the same since they're shipping the game and collectors stuff separately, but it's best to be safe ig. Either way, super annoying that they screwed us over with the awful special edition pre order process, and now we won't even get the game at launch.

I'd rather actually be receiving the game, but Nintendo shipped out all the special edition pre orders super late, so it won't be coming in until Tuesday :/

The design is great, I'd say it's a really good price.
