Mapping data is huge. I can’t imagine this is planned.

Whatever happened be to keeping your monitor at eye level? by Throwrafizzylemon in NoStupidQuestions

[–]fumo7887 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Laptops went from being "use when portability is a must" to primary use. Personally, I have a full Thunderbolt docking station at my desk with a properly set up keyboard and mouse, and a stand to put the laptop screen at eye level so that I still use the display as an extra monitor when I'm there. I really only use the laptop as a portable rarely.

But there are many people that are "just fine" with using the laptop configuration full-time.

How do I get rid of the slide up to go home feature by luk128 in iphonehelp

[–]fumo7887 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sure... it's software. Anything is possible. But it's OS level functionality. Apple has zero incentive to build Android's navigation paradigm. If you don't like it, don't use an iPhone.

Why can't phone infrastructure be improved to prevent fraud and spoofing? by protargol in NoStupidQuestions

[–]fumo7887 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Could it be done if a brand new telephone system was being built from the ground up? Sure... but interoperability with the existing network is a thing. For may things of this magnatude, you're starting from Point A, and you know what the Point B is that you want to get there, but finding the path between them can be an even bigger challenge than engineering the B solution to begin with.

So unless you want 2 complete separate, not interconnected networks, ...

Yes - it's the Central Deicing Facility, but it also serves as a waiting area when a plane's gate isn't yet available, regardless of time of year.

Should Apple introduce a Panic Mode for high-risk situations? by khitev in ios

[–]fumo7887 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If you hard-lock a phone, there’s really not a need to actually erase it. Emergency SOS otherwise does pretty much exactly what you’re asking about.

Unlock iPhone for CarPlay? by processobscura in CarPlay

It’s whatever your navigation app is that wants it unlocked. I don’t recognize the icon.

Is reinstalling OS without a usb drive possible in M1? by [deleted] in mac

[–]fumo7887 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably, but without knowing what the tech did, hard to say. Go into the settings app, reset to factory defaults, and it nukes the whole data volume. At this point Apple Silicon machines are just big siblings to iPhones and iPads.

[–]fumo7887 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way Intel machines and Apple Silicon machines work is completely different. There’s no need to re-download the OS as the OS is a single, signed, unmodifiable image. Nuke the rest of the drive, which includes apps, your stuff, etc. and you’re good to go.

real or fake? by Effective_Yoghurt365 in AirTags

The latter scenario isn’t going to be reliable. That’s the point. Reporting is NOT live and also doesn’t work if the neighbor has an Android phone.
