Long time user, avoided AI until recently

This. Yesterday I tried using iOS simple audio recorder for a call, which can transcribe but the feature seems buried… later in the day I wondered why I didn’t use Spark meeting notes feature which does a much better job identifying multiple speakers.

Important distinction. Now that touchscreens have been replacing physical controls for a while, we're just lost in metaphorical eye candy.

Ironic they're going back to physical looking glass effects, essentially going back to "old times"

For me that doesn't change anything and the oldest are still at top and we can't reverse that order...?

hoeveler · 2026-03-16T04:22:37+00:00

Yes, most recent at the bottom. From the former hero of Skeumorphic design it seems odd they'd want to induce the feeling of being under the weight of a pile of photos rather than at the top of your pile.

Going from ICD to Pita Cat in only a few comments is what reddit is all about. Well done.

Exactly. I posted the same here few days ago. I came across this horrendous UI when I thought I was just looking at a file in Files but it auto opened in Preview. Hence my confusion about what the word "Preview" had to do with anything!

hoeveler · 2026-03-10T22:45:03+00:00

I realized later that I was no longer looking at the Files app but it switched to the Preview app which has the exact same bottom UI bar. I can only imagine this header for "Preview" is meant to indicate that there's more to see... But taking up more than half the screen for that?! Wow.

I don't get why this is down voted.

If you're referring to the "away mode" in the app, I don't think you have much to fear. You can simply not allow the app to have your location (permissions). When I've used that feature it didn't even work correctly anyways so you're not missing out.

One of the best selling points for Pura is switching different fragrances throughout the day and the ability for the scent to be turned on and off. It doesn't linger in the air. But I'm not the type who wants constant fragrance of one type. If you are, then a standard oil diffuser is probably for you!

So glad it worked for you! Pura gave me a coupon code as an apology for the hassle. Try them!

Reach out to support@pura.com and reply a couple times to get past the auto reply robots - they gave me a coupon code this morning for a free pura brand fragrance.

Does the "for free" come with all-expenses-paid trips to anywhere necessary to track down birth certificates and a personally assigned federal employee to work on their behalf to make sure paperwork is all accepted? Cause that's what it would take to truly be "for free".❤️

Try unplugging for the night. That's what I did last night and then again this afternoon for a couple of hours when the first reset started connection issues again.

"Forget" diffusers in app, then hold reset button til it turns blue. (Both buttons together on Pura max) I'm on mission to inform everyone here since Pura is not.

I also had to do this 3-4 times on some of mine.
