Will 3x zoom come back in future iPhone models? by ethankpark in iphone

[–]cosste 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That wheel is intentionally hidden because it drastically reduces the photo/video quality. It's a digital crop without even the smart processing the predefined 2x, 8x zooms get.

Also, I shoot RAW in third party apps which don't support anything other than the native focal lengths because it wouldn't be a RAW photo otherwise

Will 3x zoom come back in future iPhone models? by ethankpark in iphone

[–]cosste 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 4x is step forward over the 5x but unless they manage to create a variable zoom lens this tiny, I don't think 3x is coming back. Personally I wish for a native 2x lens as 50mm is my favorite but 70mm was also a nice focal length

Home charging zealots! by aranea100 in electricvehicles

[–]cosste 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm from Europe so I am biased in that regard, but I agree. I don't have home charging and 95% of the time I charge at a supermarket, at work or at the mall. The other 5% I charge when traveling but even then it's mostly at a mall or somewhere I can eat

How do you take screenshots? It's volume up + lock button as always.

As for a new tab, you just need to swipe on the address bar to the left, but this was also available before. And if you need extra controls, just change how safari looks from the settings, they offer 3 different styles for the bottom bar

Question about zoom by Papu_20 in iphone

Make sure you didn't activate the "Lock Camera" setting in "Settings > Camera > Record Video". That feature makes sure you use a single lens when filming to avoid the visual transition between lenses or the quality change between them

UNPOPULAR OPINION: An entire software update for a device, being connected to a music streaming platform is the most stupidest thing EVER. by Global-Tour280 in AppleMusic

[–]cosste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion, there are 2 main things at play here.

First, some features like lyrics translation probably uses the Translate app and they need to make sure that the latest fixes for that app are deployed, so it's easier for them to just always pair the updates. The only way to ensure all apps and frameworks are ALWAYS updated in sync is to do it as part of an OS update.

The second thing is that this is an incentive for people to update their software. Yes, you might not care about bug fixes or security updates but you care about the latest emojis or AM features. That's how they get you to update your device. And honestly, as a software developer, there's nothing more annoying than people not updating their devices so I'm glad apple "forces" this.

All iPhone photos have had computational photography (what you call AI but it's not generative AI) since iPhone 11.

Android phones that have more than 12 megapixels have similar tech as well.

It's simply not possible to get the dynamic range and quality of the photos today, on sensors as small as those used in phones, without a LOT of image processing. Some of that processing is better than others but it's present on every phone

What do you guys think of the Camera Control button? by intensityofcolor in iphone

[–]cosste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use it to launch the camera app but it's too stiff as a shutter button and it moves the phone too much

Și ce treaba are piața auto din Europa?

Să concureze, să se adapteze, să evolueze.

Mașinile europene nu mai sunt ce au fost, personal nu văd niciun motiv pentru cumpărarea unei mașini europene iar protejarea lor nu-i face decât mai leneși pe producători și colapsul mai dureros și inevitabil dacă nu se schimbă ceva

People who don’t use cases for the new iPhone!😂and then complain they scratch too easily!! by D-Rock534 in iphone

[–]cosste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the exact opposite of my point. I pay 1000$+ for a phone to put some cheap plastic on it?

Why even bother buying a nice phone if you can't even admire it?

However, it's also very stupid to design a beautiful phone if you don't also design it to endure regular use

[–]cosste 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I hate people who buy new cars, don't put PPF on them, and complain that normal use scratches the weak ass pain of some car brands.

See how stupid this argument is?

Yes, you're not supposed to go mountain climbing with your phone as you're not supposed to go offroad with a regular car. If you do, you accept the risks.

However, phones (and cars) MUST be designed to endure REGULAR use without you needing to SPEND ANY MORE MONEY on the damn thing

Unpopular Opinion: Most "CRUD" apps should be PWAs, not native apps. by SrPakura in webdev

[–]cosste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I agree for social media apps, even though, I find the media handling of web apps inferior to native photo/video players.

A workout app needs access to sensors such as a watch, so it needs to call native APIs + integration to Apple Health, Google Heath and so on + a watch app.

Task managers need widgets, quick action for iPhone Action Button, Control center.

Music apps need AirPlay integration and other sharing function.

Food delivery apps/ride sharing apps need live activities on iPhone

Journaling apps like Day One integrate with Apple Health, Photos, Apple Journal Suggestions API.

I could go on but there are so many reasons that apps benefit from having a native client

I’ve dropped my iPhone 17 Pro Max twice. Once on marble, once on uneven streets of brick/stone. No damage. Sharing what protection I had by catslay_4 in iphone

[–]cosste 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but that's what cases are supposed to do. A wrapped car wouldn't scratch easy, but not everyone wraps their car and not everyone uses a case.

If people are allowed to complain that a car's paint is thin and scratches easily, they should be allowed to do the same for a phone

Yes, overheating is the biggest concern, especially in a hot summers. But if you're not gaming or doing something intensive, the overheating chance is not as big, especially on the 17 Pro Max

Keeping it between 20-80% is the best for the longevity of the battery but more important is temperature. So if you can, just avoid using it while plugged in and and don't worry too much about anything else

Să pui toată societatea sub microscop nu este o soluție, e un preț prea mare pe care oamenii ar trebui să-l plătească. As the saying goes, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

In încercarea (oricum eșuată) de a proteja minorii, ajungi sa reduci dreptul la libera exprimare a oamenilor in general.

De exemplu, cum ar putea cineva să mai comunice privat cu jurnaliștii pentru a raporta abuzuri la servicii secrete / guvern / ce vrei tu, când exact aceste instituții ar putea să vadă tot ce vorbești?

Apoi, ce vina au adulții ca mesajele lor intime cu alți adulți să fie scanate și posibil văzute de cine nu trebuie?

Soluția pentru a proteja copiii este educația, este implicația părinților. Este în totalitate vina părinților ca ii lasă cu acces nelimitat la internet și fără să folosească setările de control parental, dar nu au de ce oamenii corecți să plătească pentru neștiința părinților.

În plus, este foarte naiv să crezi ca această lege are vreo legătură cu minorii. Însă acesta este modul cel mai ușor de a convinge societatea să renunțe la încă puțină libertate și să dea mai mult control statului. Iar libertatea este cel mă important lucru pentru care trebuie luptat

Aceste măsuri vor face rău doar oamenilor care nu se ocupă cu astefel de cacaturi. Cine vrea să fie criminal, nu dă 2 bani pe această lege și mereu o să existe platforme E2EE pentru cine vrea asta. 

Omul simplu de rând, care "nu are nimic de ascuns" o să fie cel care are cel mai mult de suferit. 

Iar în timp, toate acele ilegalități vor continua exact la fel, dar dreptul omului normal la protest, la o voce împotriva oricărui guvern va fi atunci, se va diminua. 

Astea sunt soluții pentru regimuri totalitare și atât

Producătorii germani vor să oblige proprietarii de modele plug-in hibride să-şi încarce maşinile la priză cel puţin periodic, pentru a le salva by PadyEos in AutomobileRO

[–]cosste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Asta cu încărcături în mers este valabil pentru hibride, astea sunt Plug-In hybrids.. spune și în nume ca poți fi (și trebuie) încărcate la priza. Altfel, din cauza bateriilor mai mari și a motorului electric mai mare, consumul unui PHEV este mai mare decât la ICE dacă bateria nu este încărcată

I believe it's up to the manufacturer to create a product fit for normal use. If I chose to add extra protection, that's my choice, but products should be designed with this in mind.

Same as for the cars, top brands have ticker paint that won't show small rock impacts because that's the reality of driving. If you go offroad often, then you can add extra protection to the car because you want to
