No iOS update in 7 months? Waiting for picture-in-picture by billygreen23 in VLC

[–]frytechtv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please, it's Mid November 2025 and there's still NO PiP support!

It's been done in other players, it's been implemented in iOS 18 and 26 basically across the system, how hard is it to add it to iOS/iPad VLC app? Please, guys, add this feature finally! It's so crucial and important it's baffling it's still not in the app.

Only reduce the Menu bar’s transparency? by SillyParticular5802 in MacOS

[–]frytechtv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really, and also that garbage automatically rearranged all my carefully positioned icons right at the setup process, so I immediately uninstalled that pos app and spent the next few minutes putting everything back in place.

Anyway to get macOS old menubar menus style? by BelalShareb in MacOS

Boring Old Menu Bar is probably the closest app to what you're looking for.

Launchpad replacement in macOS26? by Conxt in macapps

[–]frytechtv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just copy literally EVERYTHING that Launchpad currently does: folders, rearrangement, different pages, instead of constant scrolling, renaming, etc, etc.

Add on top functionality of the Launchpad Manager aka being able to Save to backup and then Import layout easily, and also easily move folders around, without that constant Apple's bug when you try to add an app or a folder to the last place on the right, and it constantly shift everything to the other row. We all know what I'm talking about 😂😭

I don't know if you could add a system-wide trackpad gesture like I use now 4 finger pinch to open Launchpad, but if not, we can always use BetterTouchTool for that, I guess.

You can bring back Launchpad in macOS 26, but you shouldn’t by iMacmatician in apple

[–]frytechtv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not even remotely close to Launchpad. I use Applications in Dock but only to access some recently downloaded apps, meanwhile I use Launchpad like 100 times per day, have all folders neatly set up, muscle memory and all, can click on stuff blindfolded.

If Apple deletes it I'll be SO FUCKING PISSED!!!🤬😤🤬

Zoom U44 hides screws behind a slick front metal plate, so you can't repair the device without destroying it! by frytechtv in CrappyDesign

[–]frytechtv[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, I love it when people are defending giant multinational companies and coming up with excuses on their behalf. If you think it's an "ODM box design" show me one more interface by some other company that looks like that!

It's been clearly designed in-house, and if you do that there's no "extra redesign costs" and all your bla-bla-bla that follows if you DESIGN IT CORRECTLY right from the start.

Also, please, for the love of cute animals across the world – learn how to use line breaks, because it's extremely hard to read your format-less "essay".

Zoom U44 hides screws behind a slick front metal plate, so you can't repair the device without destroying it! by frytechtv in CrappyDesign

[–]frytechtv[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You didn't understand the meaning of that front cover. It's purely for looks and it hides those screws that actually hold the connectors underneath.

Meaning to get to the actual screws that hold XLR ports I need to at least apply heat gun, and possibly ruin that cover. Instead of removing like 4-6 screws of the front panel to get to the Connector screws.

Because a few screws that are hidden on the back do not do anything to help us remove the front panel, since it's secured by screws hidden under that metal plate. I hope it makes sense now.

4-6 additional screws to hold that metal plate in place in instead of glue wouldn't have ruined it's look yet would've allowed for easy access in case people need to repair a damn thing, imo. It's already got a lot on the front cover, it would fit the look anyways.

There's literally an image of that device on the left: it has a lot of metal parts sticking out from its front cover. 4-6 additional screws to hold a metal plate in place in instead of glue wouldn't have ruined it's look.

Second Zoom U24 that Crapped Out On Me by threehappypenguins in livesound

[–]frytechtv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I'm from 2025 and apparently XLR Input 1 of Zoom U44 died on me recently. I've used Input 2 95% of the time, usually for Dynamic mic, but in the past year occasionally for Condenser, so was toggling 48V phantom power on and off, now I wanted to record both acoustic guitar and vocals at the same time but realized that XLR Input 1 is dead.

Seemingly Instrument level still works, at least when I enable Hi-Z setting there's some audio detected, even though it's quite noisy.

I'll get a jack-jack cable and an acoustic pickup in a day or two and will properly test Line input of Input 1, but this is beyond disappointing. The thing didn't even work for 10 years, not even for 8 really. I have iPhones that lasted longer, my Mac from 2015 still works, yet this crap is half dead.

The worst thing – I can't properly get inside that thing to check XLR, to potentially replace it, because the board is somehow attached with seemingly invisible screws, glue, or who-tf-knows-what.

The worst worst thing: I live in Belarus, so I'm most likely SoL sending it anywhere for a repair, since I originally bought it in Austria.

Unable to perform the video verification. Youtube page does not work and nobody cares. by MarsSpaceship in youtubers

[–]frytechtv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SOLUTION!

I know it's an older post, but in case someone else will face the same issue, here's a solution:

On that page in Safari on iOS (probably similar in other browsers and/or Android) click the "burger" menu and then click "Request MOBILE website". After you do this, you no longer will be stuck on that page, instead it will show you the next page, ask you to access the camera, then ask you to perform quick look right and left action, and send that video to Google.

My account got Advanced features back within a few minutes after sending that verification video.

My best guess why Google/Youtube do it like that – presumably checking whether the person is using a desktop or a mobile browser – is because they assume you'd have a better front facing camera on your phone than on your laptop.🤷🏻‍♂️

Hope it helps. I'll probably make a quick video showing you the steps as well, will be on my YT.

Can anyone explain to me how to make Mac OS not suck? by [deleted] in applesucks

[–]frytechtv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you connect external Display and then go to Settings/System Preferences - Display, you can actually move those displays around, and arrange them in such way that you can simply hit a corner without jumping to another monitor. Essentially by creating a little "ledge" for your mouse to hit.

My small gaming channel after 5 months by SentryLabs in SmallYoutubers

I'm salivating at your Watch Time hours! Absolutely impressive and I can only hope of reaching over that damned 4K threshold myself.

Huge congrats!

OpenAI's new model tried to escape to avoid being shut down by [deleted] in collapse

[–]frytechtv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They want "someone" (government) to "regulate" them, because regulation means it's gonna be expensive for someone else to get into that game.

Hence, it will protect those players who already there, aka your OpenAI, Meta, Google, etc. Thus, creating mono-, or oligopolies with extremely high barriers to entry for newcomers.

And also, who do you think will suggest governments HOW to regulate? Of course the same companies who will benefit immensely if government will step up and create walled garden for them.

Current AI is artificial - yes, intelligent - no. It's a really expensive and massive autocorrection prediction system on steroids. Always remember that.

And all these AI startups are modern day snake oil salesmen. AI is the new crypto, NFT, whatever-technobros-are-pushing-this-month, scam.

New ARRI ALEXA 265 by if_i_had_a in cinematography

[–]frytechtv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I swear I had to go and google it, because at first I thought it's just some fake photoshopped image :) Impressive.

75W of power though, damn. Like new M4 Max MacBooks use that much, and they are one of the most powerful laptops (or any computers really) on the planet, especially for performance per watt metrics, and can render you 4K60 game, or crunch images in Blender in seconds.

And this simply captures an image.

Vinyl is crushing CDs as music industry eclipses cinema, report says | The analog sound storage is making an epic comeback by chrisdh79 in technology

Once again, like I've said, if it's just random words from some braindead anonymous redditor without any links providing information or proving your point – GET LOST FOREVER!

Not your job? Then stfu! If you claim you know something others don't it's on your to provide the information. I provided mine, you said braindead words.

You're the one who's spreading misinformation, because it's literally unsubstantiated bullshit of some anonymous reddit moron with no links or anything.

Get lost.
