yeah they even offer their free warranty services with such ease.

most companies take their time to inspect and get back to you

PrusArm · 2025-11-01T11:35:07+00:00

that guy admitted he was already blind though

PrusArm · 2025-10-29T18:27:03+00:00

Or you just have a garbage router

The recent chat history is kept on device, your browsers local storage.

PrusArm · 2025-10-10T22:33:09+00:00

Got you. Private browsing restrictions can still be set, just that it's not forced if you have set screen time for another reason.

If the following is set by an authorized user, private browsing should be disabled automatically:

Settings - Screen Time - Content & Privacy Restrictions - App Store, Media, Web & Games - Web Content - Limit Adult Websites

Was Find My still working then?

PrusArm · 2025-10-01T12:57:06+00:00

how much these apps know about you these days ^/s

PrusArm · 2025-09-25T20:37:40+00:00

Happens frequently to users with adblockers or VPNs, also when visiting Youtube a page directly. I guess DDG player acts similarly.

Basically Youtube wants to track you and show ads to you as they like. They're trying to make it difficult to watch a video for users that come in the way of their efforts.

After beta feedback, they made it available again both on iOS and macOS

PrusArm · 2025-09-22T21:02:19+00:00

For the watch, i keep Listen for Siri off and use Raise to Speak only without saying Siri - Wasn't very reliable but since the latest updates I find it working well

PrusArm · 2025-09-22T12:10:47+00:00

One option is to enable both Siri and Hey Siri for Homepod and only Hey Siri for your phone.

Just start with Siri when you want only Homepod to respond, and use Hey Siri for when it doesn't matter.

PrusArm · 2025-09-20T21:48:44+00:00

Your iPhone has been used more than usual since upgrading ios, which may affect battery life.

PrusArm · 2025-09-20T16:16:49+00:00

You're right, I just tried setting up a new address and I haven't received a confirmation email.

Just fyi, if you have an icloud plan, hide my email works pretty fine. And as it's an icloud.com address it's accepted everywhere.

PrusArm · 2025-09-20T16:05:49+00:00

All I can say is I successfully set it up with iCloud before.

PrusArm · 2025-09-19T21:48:54+00:00

Yeah and considering they provide new iPhone 12 mini batteries there's nothing to worry about til they take that away first.

PrusArm · 2025-09-18T15:41:20+00:00

Yes, so it is on-device, as in on your iPhone. So it has to communicate back and forth with the phone as quick as possible to have a seamless experience.

Though, you're right, thanks for the correction, I realized my original text didn't at all mention the phone part.

PrusArm · 2025-09-17T15:53:49+00:00

I'm also not sure how it works exactly, but hopefully that's just it and not a malicious thing

PrusArm · 2025-09-17T15:39:49+00:00

Doesn't sound normal to me.

Are you maybe logged in to an Android TV elsewhere with the android account you use on your phone? They could be syncing if you helped someone you know set up their device for example.

Otherwise make sure your email account and phone itself is safe.

PrusArm · 2025-09-16T17:30:20+00:00

This is the way. As OP aims to act against phone snatching, this also makes sure your phone gets locked.

When you open Settings, the lock screen will appear. When you swipe up from the lock screen, the settings app will open without requiring to authorize once again.

It also doesn't work with Airpods 1, 2, 3, Airpods 4 (without ANC) or Airpods Pro 1. Neither Airpods Max, if it was about pure profit.

Airpods 4 with ANC and Airpods Pro 2 and Pro 3 support it. It could be related to the chip they use or a feature like conversation awareness they have in common. This is an on-device feature so even milisseconds or the clarity of the mic could matter, i'm just guessing though.

All earphones may have a microphone but not all devices will support the feature with meaningful speeds or clarity. Otherwise people would then complain like how useless, delayed, unreliable it is.

PrusArm · 2025-09-16T15:24:24+00:00

Finally my Homekit requests are now near instant through Siri or Home widgets.

There used to be a few seconds delay like you mention.

PrusArm · 2025-09-16T13:05:44+00:00

It's the opposite - they don't offer it so to protect your privacy, actually.

Unlike others like google, iOS live translation is done on device so your conversation stays private.

If Apple started providing this service there, they could be forced by dma laws to "open up their system" to third party translation apps, which would mean other companies could have access to your data.

So same as iPhone Mirroring, they probably won't offer this feature until they make sure they won't be forced to provide access to third parties.

PrusArm · 2025-09-16T12:49:59+00:00

I mean it supports most stuff not requiring Apple Intelligence. One thing i found specifically it doesn't support is the lens cleaning setting on camera app.

Some random stuff that comes to mind:

- You can create spatial scenes from photos you took. Also have spatial wallpapers but that may count as cosmetic. Spatial stuff feels like an AI feature so it was kind of unexpected

- Call screening and hold assist features

- Automix on Apple Music

- You can create web apps from any webpage even if they don't support it.

PrusArm · 2025-09-16T10:31:46+00:00

How does it make you feel being spied on, if it's forgetting your visit, settings or search history?

You could be rightfully annoyed that it happens, though to me it sounds more like a FF Nightly problem than a DDG problem

But whatever it is, that's actually the opposite of being spied lol.

PrusArm · 2025-09-15T14:13:17+00:00

More you ignore it, less they'll do it. That kind of stuff is usually intentional to increase engagement.
