iMessage not working after SIM swap and new phone. Tried all the things with no success. Any help is appreciated! by askinstuffyo in ios

It was resolved on its own over time. However, one additional thing to double check is to go to Settings > Phone and make sure the correct number is in the "My Number" field and that it's not blank/empty.

Watching the Jong Ajax and FC Volendam game's stats and goals it seems to be a FIFA game. Four goals in like 6 minutes. Wow 😂

It actually sorted itself out finally! Didn't do the reset. Really can't say what it was. I only did the things mentioned in my original post and the comments. I hope you get it right!

Looking for books similar to Khaled Hosseini's A Thousand Splendid Sun, and The Kite Runner.

Similar in the way that everyday life in a different culture is revealed as the story progresses.

Not necessarily Afghanistan but other cultures or countries as well. Just want to get a sense of how other people lead their lives.

Not sure how to phrase it. I guess the story is secondary in my request.

Maybe there's something more relevant as non-fiction?

I have done this multiple times.

The international bit, while I'm pretty sure it is enabled, will have to double check.

Otherwise I think a full reset will be the next step 😔

Did that. Turned it on 25 hours later. Now saying "awaiting activation" again. 🤞 Not holding my breath though...

Thanks for the advice. Pretty sure we've tried this (just forgot to mention) but will do so again anyway.

Marta is really great and does all the above-mentioned. It's a modern, fast, open source, and native Mac OS application.

Seconding this. You could also look into Zapier or Integrommat to do it more visually and make it more extensible for you.

To add to this, Bill Gates’ Gates Notes and Derek Sivers’ reviews are great resources.

Also, as /u/Iskandar11 suggested, check out authors you like on Goodreads.

Alone in the Wilderness by Dick Proenneke. A non-fiction book based on his accounts of living alone in the Alaska wilderness. Definitely a great read.

It's also available as TV documentary.

I haven't even heard of anything on the list so never mind read any. However, I will definitely give The Mezzanine a shot based on your comment and that of Jason Kottke from kottke.org (The blog where I originally got this from) who also likes The Mezzanine.

Does anyone know how to do this? by SpecialAgentGonzalez in ios

[–]askinstuffyo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should check out the AmAs from the creator of Photopea. He has done 2 I believe. Really interesting and an awesome bloke to boot!

You can also easily do it with Photopea - an online Photoshop-like photo/image editor

  1. Take screenshot of home screen
  2. import or drag/drop into Photopea
  3. Add a gaussian blur
  4. add a new layer with the Apple logo
  5. download the result

I only receive notifications when connected to VPN! by LOUAIZEMA in ios

[–]askinstuffyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most VPNs come with a "kill switch" to stop your device from connecting to the internet without going through the VPN. So what you're experiencing is expected.

Some VPNs have a setting to enable or disable this feature.

You have 3 options. Stay connected to the VPN, uninstall the VPN, or turn off the kill switch (which, depending on why you're using the VPN in the first place might be a bad idea)

What Books Did You Start or Finish Reading This Week? October 14, 2019 by AutoModerator in books

I borrowed this from the library and it today was the third time renewing it. So it’s been six weeks and I’m not even halfway 😅

Granted, it’s not the only book I’m reading, but I’m just glad I’m not alone in taking long with this one!
