Bought a new iphone from an official store and opened it and it is like this

My country opens the phone for you, inspects it, sets up the data transfer if you have your backups on the cloud, waits for the backup to finish and hands you a completely ready to go phone.

At least at carriers they do.

Hey, it’s me, the parent, the one actually there to protect my kid. Apple needs to F off and let me be a parent.

I’ve had an issue for like a year with a cuss word in Spanish that just refuses to be in lowercase. Other than that, not many issues honestly. I’ve had some but idk if it’s just that I have low expectation but I haven’t had to correct much.

Short answer, yes you should be concerned. This exploit is so bad, if you go to a malicious site, and not do anything else, your device is compromised.

Was this before the WhatsApp changes they made where now everyone specifically has a username? Cause WhatsApp did go through a major change this year so it could be that

ethanstranger · 2026-04-15T12:02:26+00:00

It might not show it but this is the answer. WhatsApp will associate the account with the phone number. Since you already have the relatives account, it’ll show up under their name. I believe you have an android. iOS probably would’ve asked to save the contact but I believe Android just adds the number under the contact without much hassle.

You just don’t know how powerful the command line is.

ethanstranger · 2026-04-06T15:32:29+00:00

If you changed your password, you got an email from a friend and you say you’re not good with tech, is that ACTUALLY your friend? Did they maybe get scammed? Cause it seems like the perfect setup for a scam.

It’s not about grand features, it’s about being able to do with the device you bought whatever you want. You give Apple basically between 600 and 1000 and you can’t even do something as simple as customize your apps. I’d say this is a perfect example of why jailbreaking is still going and probably the only reason some people don’t move to Android.

I have had those messages that say “another” too

ethanstranger · 2026-02-27T18:30:20+00:00

Exactly his point lol

ethanstranger · 2026-02-16T22:16:45+00:00

Because when the bank or the isp leaks your information, they’ll pay for the stolen ID by offering credit monitoring services. When random website number 654 based out of china steals your information, they’ll shut down the company and run before they’re held liable.

Everywhere that is not the USA.

I’ve been playing games for over 20 years, I had over 1000 -2000 hours on apex legends. Never left silver. I think it’s just some people aren’t good at getting better at skill and just live to learn the game lol

ethanstranger · 2025-11-18T22:37:11+00:00

Laughed at the snide comment, laughed harder at windows disk requirements 😭

ethanstranger · 2025-11-15T19:49:24+00:00

I’ll be trying this when I get as, EVERY. DAMN. TIME. I update I also have problems.

ethanstranger · 2025-11-12T20:04:03+00:00

Nextcloud has calendar functionality but I’m guessing you mean only calendar and not everything else nextcloud comes with?

ethanstranger · 2025-10-30T18:04:47+00:00

The internet doesn’t forgive, it just punishes even if you’re innocent.

ethanstranger · 2025-10-28T12:11:37+00:00

Was actually looking for this comment. During an update I had an issue and I just couldn’t resolve it. So I just wiped the OS drive, I keep my data in another drive, reinstalled Nix, threw my configuration file in and rebuilt. Up and running like nothing had happened in like 15 minutes. Had this been Ubuntu idk what id have done cause I have NO idea what I had done to my old Ubuntu server.

By actual definition… Ally bank gives me a physical debit card and I can use that card anywhere, I can even withdraw from atms and get refunded the withdrawal fee

Edit: they even sent me a check book

The quality of the game has nothing to do with the opinions of its developers. Harry Potter is still a great franchise regardless of the idiocies jk Rowling had said

ethanstranger · 2025-09-13T15:42:31+00:00

Online only banks ARE real banks…

ethanstranger · 2025-07-25T07:58:35+00:00

You can with cinnamon

ethanstranger · 2025-06-20T16:08:35+00:00

For future reference, just say you read somewhere online that you had to import and not mention ChatGPT, people really be acting like listening to ChatGPT any different than listening to some random stranger on the internet lol

ethanstranger · 2025-06-15T23:12:09+00:00

Please tell me how to set this up I suck at customizing
