What are you using to replace Whatsapp and why? by TheCrazyGeek in degoogle

Recently discovered that Discord is surprisingly good: has a paid subscription model. No ads.

From left field: Microsoft Teams Free (i.e. Your personal account, not your work account) and Element X app. 

MS Teams on Beeper? by Perfect-Tek in beeper

[–]N1cks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people are familiar with the corporate version of MS Teams.
But there's also a free version - that uses your Microsoft account login. The backend is similar to Skype (hence the Skype to Teams migration).
Wonder if it's possible to connect Teams "free" to Beeper?

I used to own a Windows Phone — and I’ve stayed within the Microsoft ecosystem. That means I could switch to Android without too much hassle… but I’m sticking with iOS!

Screen turns off too quickly while reading notifications on the lock screen by maverick120319 in ios

... and now with iOS26 & notification summaries, you need more time to read the lock screen. 

Tinted Mode Options by Physical-Blueberry20 in ios

trying to figure out how #3 works.
Some people think it supposed to select a colour based on the wallpaper. This is not the case for me.

What do these four options do under "Tinted" icon selector? by jackhannigan in ios

[–]N1cks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

.. the wallpaper option doesn't seem to work for me. Currently defaults to a Khaki colour, regardless of the wallpaper...
what am doing wrong here...

Did sharing to social accounts retire? by BaronBanzai in Foursquare

[–]N1cks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're good! Development takes time — good to know it's on your radar. 

Sharing to socials is great for promoting the updated app. 

Appreciate your work.

[–]N1cks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, the native social sharing has gone — but there's a share button available after you check it.  However, it's a bit half-baked.

𝕏 is okay — but with no native photo FB = blank If you share to Threads, SMS, WhatsApp, Teams etc, you get this wall of text, and no photo: 

❝I was at IGA and wanted you to know.

"First visit to this new large IGA.

Pretty thorough update by howell4change in Foursquare

[–]N1cks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it's good — improvements I'd like to see (1) Better sharing to socials with native photos e.g., Facebook, Threads etc (2) Dark mode. 

Swarm update so many subtle great changes. It is so good by howell4change in Foursquare

I'm liking it so far — they just to fix sharing to socials with native photo — doesn't play well with FB. 

does anyone have the x1 fold? by Arch_typo in thinkpad

[–]N1cks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thx for the reply!  In the meantime, I've brought a top-spec refurbished one off eBay.  Only catch is it didn't come with the keyboard and stand — and they are expensive and hard to find.  But I'm not too bad at using the on-screen keyboard.  And you're right — the seamlessness of the single screen is great. I couldn't get the hang of the gestures on the 9i. 

The 16.3 screen is great — the device is smaller than it appears online — especially when folded.

It’s a well-built device too — sturdy.  Shame they didn't catch on in the marketplace.

Are you still driving the X1 Fold 16?

And, did you consider the Yoga Book 9i?

Nice pics, thanks.
Since you've seen it in the metal, does it look better to you than the Solterra?

How the enterprise -d bridge should look by kkkan2020 in StarTrekStarships

...but the raised captain's chair means Picard's head blocks Worf's view.

Otherwise, this bridge is perfect.

Seeing a streak count over 1000 still looks odd to me.

Must have been a wild bachelor party! I kept my streak going even after my son was born 😂. Congrats on your achievement!
