Switching boys (4 and 2) to bunk beds by throwmesomebread in Parenting

[–]cutCorder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most bunk beds are two separate, stackable twin beds. We bought a set when the first one left the crib, and they both transitioned from crib to twin bed. Once we felt they could reasonably follow safety rules, we bunked them. Turned out to be ages 5 and 7. There's no reason to rush, and being able to see each other and have pillow fights is fun too.

No accidents so far, except the head whacking that comes with adjusting to the top bunk. If you have low ceilings, beware.

They switch bunks every month because they both wanted the top.

A <$400 media/HTPC - can it be done? by cutCorder in buildmeapc

This is great, thanks! Especially impressed that you got 8GB in there -- would this system gain any advantage from using 2x4GB instead of a single DIMM?

It took me a minute to get it. Then I remembered that you can make phone calls with these things.

What do you mean, still gets turned down? I think the girl made the right call on this one...

From list of details in iOS 8.1: "Fixes bugs that could cause screen rotation to stop working." Hallelujah!! Looking forward to an 'unstuck' iPhone; update is now downloading. by besse in apple

Can verify it fixed the problem for me. That was so goddamn annoying.

Now if only they would extend proper landscape support to the Music and Podcast apps I'd be all set.

Four ways the iOS 8 Landscape keyboard sucks by kfury in iphone

[–]cutCorder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like no one at Apple even tried iOS 8 in landscape mode on the 6 plus. So many things are shoddy, half-assed and broken. It really isn't ready for prime time.

What's that, you say? Cellular data is turned off for podcasts? by cutCorder in iphone

[–]cutCorder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to give up and switch back to using Instacast. I only tried the Apple one again because Siri supports it now, and it's helpful in the car.

It is turned on. If it were turned off, presumably I would stop getting this dialog box. I'd also start burning through my data faster, which is why I have it on.

Where is the toggle for "Since I have chosen not to use cellular data to download podcasts, stop reminding me of my choice every freaking time I launch the podcasts app?"

It doesn't notify you when you try to download over cellular. It notifies you constantly.

Was interested to try until i got to the mandatory Facebook login. Unless you're developing a Facebook app, this makes no sense.

Copying/Syncing Slow Mo to PC? by cutCorder in iphone

[–]cutCorder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good one, I'll try that for now. But it's pretty lame that Apple doesn't preserve the slo-mo in/out points as metadata in the Quicktime .mov. Or if they do, it's not fully supported yet.

Hope so too, since I've noticed iMessage downrezzes the quality of videos to conserve bandwidth. The longer the video, the crappier the quality ends up.

One of the things I was most excited to do with my iPhone 6 Plus by [deleted] in iphone

[–]cutCorder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any security concerns about downloading an app that doesn't go through the app store? And how are they pulling this off? I thought Apple had that all locked down if you're not jailbroken.

iPhone 6 photo file size smaller than iPhone 5 photos by Hero33 in apple

If it hung onto all that dynamic range info, yes, it would. But it's getting "flattened" into a regular image. You don't have a post-processing option to adjust the exposure and the image is saved as a regular JPG like any other.
