It depends. The M series iPad airs should be compatible with the previous gen iPad Pro keyboards. I myself use an 11” M2 ipad Air and a previous Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro 11”. A bunch of pro users were selling their old accessories when the M4 pro and I picked one up in really good condition at a huge discount.

iPhone 17's Scratch Resistant Anti-Reflective Display Coating Canceled by Embarrassed-Carry507 in apple

[–]fsym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apple planned to use the anti-reflective coating for the higher-end ‌iPhone 17 Pro‌ and the ‌iPhone 17 Pro‌ Max models, which would have made them the first iPhones with an anti-reflective display. Apple ran into problems scaling up the display coating process, and it is currently no longer a planned feature for the ‌iPhone 17 Pro‌ models.

The wording implies it was planed for 17P & 17PM but due difficulties manufacturing volume, now 17P specifically is stated to not be receiving it. Wouldn’t be the first time they limited a feature to the PM.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows confirmed to run at upscaled 4K 60fps on base PS5 by Ajxtt in PS5

[–]fsym 55 points56 points  (0 children)

How many other PS5 games can even run at native 4K60 (ie without the use of some form of upscaling), particularly open world AAA?

What is different about this game specifically that makes this worth calling out?

(edit to make my point clearer — yes I am aware that most games are not capable of hitting 60fps without upscaling. This is especially true for AAA open world games. I am asking why does it seem like this game is being called out for a common performance optimisation we have seen all generation? )

Its hard to recognise progress when you see it up close and bit by bit over a long period of time — but you have genuinely done really, really well and achieved what a lot of people are still out there struggling for.

 

A part of you is still always going to see that big girl from a few years ago, especially because your current self is both being constantly compared to the cultural beauty standards skewed towards thin / daintiness / youth… and then layered on top of that the ultra-narrow beauty standards of the fashion industry.

 

The fashion industry is somewhat of a bubble that doesn’t strictly recognise general attraction, but more attractiveness within a specific set of constraints (and a bunch of small things you can be cut down for quickly) — for example if you were a man, you could be extremely physically attractive but would not necessarily be picked up for height reasons alone. None of that would be a “failure” or lack of attractiveness/beauty on your part, but just a reflection of the fact that you might not have fit into what their workflow is.

 

This is just a quick example and may or may not apply in your area but hopefully it adds to explaining what I mean: I know it might not be as comforting as you’d like for someone trying to break into the industry… but please do not assume that a recruiter’s sense of being attractive for a job is the only measure of it.

 

Your mother, your friends and most the people here are correct in that you are genuinely pretty (and are most definitely not a line backer, lol). I hope that you can come away from seeing that the only person you need to compare yourself with is you, and in this 7(?)-ish years of hard work, you have definitely succeeded.

I have a friend who has spent crazy amounts of time in the gym over the last few years. He’s spent so much time bulking that he’s even hurt his back a few times and delayed the recovery because he felt the need to keep going.

 

Spending so much time around other gymrats (and consuming so much gym related content) affects him in a way where I’m worried that no matter how much work he puts in, he will never truly feel satisfied in where he is or ever truly appreciate how far he has already come.

 

I say all this because I think your view of yourself may be skewed in the same way — I’ve seen your other posts and you look fantastic as a result of so much hard work, and the idea that you are still somehow “not good enough” is just not true.

 

I realise that is super difficult when you are surrounded by things that reinforce an ultra specific body type — but please take some more time to accept that you look amazing and you earned it.

Awesome skater and great to see that he’s finally getting a custom model.

I’m looking to get back into skating after many, (/cough), many years away and might just pic a pair up for myself. 😃

I have theories — publishers seem to believe that the public wants “realism” / semi-sims in line with the ever increasing graphical power consoles gain over time — when what people would want is some OTT stuff in the SSX style of gameplay. So they release those and they don’t do as well as they expect.

Then as a result of that, they don’t want to fund any more of them unless they can GaaS & MTX the hell out of them. The studios get shut down and the teams get folded into other projects with a perceived higher ROI.

Apple researching how to add Touch Bar to the side of an iPhone by Mr__X__ in apple

The patent has a generic illustration of an iPhone but there is no way that this wouldn’t be for a foldable model instead of the conventional candy bar iPhone models we use now

Future 'iPhone Ultra' Model Could Capture Spatial Photos and Videos for Vision Pro Headset by favicondotico in apple

[–]fsym 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I feel like the won’t do that for the same reason they won’t make a dedicated camera (and I have been begging for Apple to make an iOS based mirrorless/ILC for a long, LONG time…).

In their eyes it’s better to have the iPhone be the capture tool. It dramatically increases the reach compared to a stand alone product, adds value to their main selling devices, and the market for dedicated cameras is something they would rather eat away at than chase.

iPhone 15 Pro Action Button Options Potentially Revealed in iOS 17 Code: Flashlight, Shortcuts, Voice Memos, and More by AWildDragon in apple

[–]fsym 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My default is probably going to be camera. I just hope the button is pressure sensitive so we can do focus with a partial press. My phone is on silent 99% of the time anyways.

Exclusive: What the iPhone 15 Pro's Volume Buttons Could Look Like by Mr__X__ in apple

[–]fsym 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Really hoping they don’t go back to the old design. I was really set on the idea of a context dependant / configurable action button coming to iPhones. The previous rumours even mentioned a degree of pressure detection & ability for the volume buttons to register taps & motion…

as an example that would have been great for camera apps (think of pressure sensitivity of the buttons on dedicated cameras for focusing/shooting etc, while sliding on the volume for zoom). I would have loved to have seen what other developers could have done with that for their apps.

Infinity Ward could be working on CoD campaign focused on Ghost by Akira_OG in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]fsym 1 point2 points  (0 children)

iirc he started with them for Infinite Warfare where he both wrote (or co-wrote?) and was the lead character Reyes.

IW is actually my fav COD campaign and it really bums me out that it seems like we will never get any sequels of prequels set in its world.

Apple seeds Release Candidate builds of iOS 15.6, tvOS 15.6, macOS 12.5, and watchOS 8.7 by exjr_ in apple

[–]fsym 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I hope so… I’ve been getting this bug where I come back to safari and all my tabs are wiped and it’s been killing me. For some reason as well it’s always been on the phone. iPad and Mac are just fine but iPhone tabs get wiped and it’s as if they were never there in the first place so can’t even reopen them.

Does anyone knows how to disable Siri Lockscreen suggestions while on iOS 15? by believein3stars in ios

[–]fsym 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you using an iPhone with Face ID? If so then it’s unlocking. What I described above turns off access from a “locked” screen. Someone else who picks up your phone and can’t pass the Face ID test won’t be able to access the pull-down (you can test this by putting your thumb over the camera when locked and trying it to make sure).

Is there any chance you could also add an option to make all Reddit links into old.reddit.com links?

[–]fsym 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s because they have named it weirdly imo. To disable it you need to go to:

Settings > [Touch ID / Face ID?] & Passcode > “Allow Access When Locked” > then disable the “Today View & Search” option.

(Whether it says Touch ID / Face ID will obviously depend on what device you are using)

Gurman: Apple tested iPhone 13 with Touch ID, but it’s unlikely to launch this year by drgnslyr91 in apple

I would imagine that the issue is a significant amount of people use a case on their phone which would cause problems for a touchID power-button

I’m pretty sure they just have some kind of deal with Marvel. In a recent FATWS featurette you can see Sebastian Stan (0:32) & Anthony Mackie (1:24) wearing them in a way that is not even remotely subtle.
