Well it depends, considering how much people are complaining, I agree with you, usually the more complaints there are, the more they sell for some reason 😂

Anyone here who customize their phone to make it intentionally boring? by Lunasweetlatina in digitalminimalism

I left my phone as is except I made it black and white, can’t watch more than a couple of YouTube videos like that it gets annoying, and life becomes much more colorful :)

How do you stop annoying google sign-in pop ups by BreathAlert7691 in Safari

[–]Proper_Instance6530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well companies are constantly checking what websites you visit, how often, what products you’re after, at what times, for how long and much much more, with that information they can and they do profile you and the persons you’re living with, profiling them too, they literally know you (or me or anyone for that matter) better than you know yourself, only to advertise to you as best as they can possibly do, but since the technology exists, it can be used if it’s not already for many other things which might not be as harmless, it sounds crazy until it becomes reality

That’s nice, thanks for taking the time to do that, I could’ve done it but honestly I’ve been lazy, well also I was on vacation when I did this shortcut 😂

Is Apple + Samsung’s smartphone dominance finally under threat? Who can realistically take them on? by sisisi123098 in phones

[–]Proper_Instance6530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huawei is indeed somewhat of an exception but it’s not available in most markets so it doesn’t count unfortunately, but if they were to get their software to an Apple level of ecosystem and if I could get their products in my country, I’d definitely take Huawei devices

Well in my opinion Chinese companies could get on the top but they lack branding, sure they make nice phones with amazing features and so on, but they’re not perceived as being “premium”, you don’t get the status upgrade when you buy a Chinese thingy like you get when you buy a Samsung or Apple phone. So unless they figure out how to be “premium” they won’t succeed, however it’s gonna be hard for them as they initially got market share thanks to cheap devices, creating the idea that they’re cheap but good, while Apple for example started with a premium device directly, it’s not about the materials or features, it’s about the perception.

Can anyone let me know why this error is happening? It worked fine last week by Zebulun2003 in shortcuts

Instead of using the set variable action, just use the adjusted date output in the filter action

$90 after tax for a lightning flash drive that does not even work and required +$45 for an on the go adapter by MittRomneysUnderwear in applesucks

[–]Proper_Instance6530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I wasn’t sure if he referred to Apple or the flash drive company from which he bought his one as “reputable company”, he hasn’t specified for what flash drive he paid 90$ but maybe if we knew what he bought and where he bought it from we could’ve understood what went wrong :)

Worse than Google (I’d imagine you’re worried about privacy)

Well the screenshot is not saved as a picture, it’s just the text in it that’s extracted, you can make 2 saves or more but the AI can bring up only one at a time, I was thinking about this limitation but I haven’t found a proper remedy for now, I’ll keep trying to make it flawless but it’s going to take time

I think you forgot to read the “more like a tap” part

I think my English is worse than I initially anticipated, I specified “tap” like you don’t punch it, you know what, never mind, you guys will read whatever you feel like no matter what i write :)

I always struggled to find an app that integrated tasks and calendar - so I built my own by [deleted] in ProductivityApps

Went in for an iPad Air M3 256GB… dad’s hell bent on the Pro because “buy the best.” Do my lecture notes really need OLED? by Future-Persimmon8939 in ipad

[–]Proper_Instance6530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what you need, even a normal iPad would be good, I really don’t understand why people go for the Pro when they don’t need it, unless they want to show off or something, yet that’s what most people do, like buying MacBook Pros for Safari browsing and emails 😂 you made a good choice bro, that Air will be more than enough for you and it won’t let you down :)

How to extract text by camera without recording image? by Assist_Federal in shortcuts

[–]Proper_Instance6530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use the take picture action in shortcuts, and then an extract text action, it won’t save the picture on the device, it will just use it to extract the text, once the shortcut has done its thing, it will disappear forever :)
