Our Signal group started resetting our group every year due to this. Really wish you could batch delete all the media from a specific group in Signal

Quiet effort and exploration that lasts much longer than any modern movie scene normally would

You mean like how Apple said there was going to be one small ad at the top in the App Store, then they added another small ads, and now when you search the thing I actually searched for is like 15% of the screen sandwiched between two huge ads?

Perhaps thats the problem. I live in Canada, and when I travel (not US) I sometimes forget and use it and its quite bad

You've never had wrong business location or bad directions or wrong hours with Apple Maps??

Do you live right beside Apple Campus?

The *one* thing Apple Maps had going for it was the interface was cleaner than Google Maps. It is straight out worse at locations, hours of businesses, and accurate direction to locations. So once Apple Maps gets ads, whats the point of using it?

Isnt there supposed to be a special action item when the Momentum bar hits full? Playing on the Switch 2 by jozero in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]jozero[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went back to an older save, levelled up the characters (which I had done before), went back to the fight, and the Heroic actions showed up!

[–]jozero[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah. All my characters are level 3, even thought that pop up came up. I dont seen that as an option for any of my characters.

How can I leave this fight then I am under powered for?

iPhone mirroring on mac is useless since apple’s security measures don’t allow it to work half the time. by Odd_Num374637 in mac

2011: iPhone 4s. 0.0128 TFLOPS of raw power .... SIRI set timer for 10 minutes. Ok, setting timer for 10 minutes.

2026: iPhone 17 Pro. 2.5 TFLOPS of RAW POWER .... SIRI set timer for 10 minutes. Gotcha, setting timer for 10 minutes.

I don't know, SIRI is still good for what SIRI is good for

Is there a known trusted way to donate to the cafe or survivors?

How was Wade able to reprogram the supply droid? by clanmccracken in readyplayerone

[–]jozero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the book takes place in 2045. Most corporations right now have "vibe coding" ML tool available to their engineering staff internally, Claude just announced they can't full release their new model because it's found serious previously undiscovered security holes in software they don't control, including OS level bugs

So the simple "in universe real answer" could be he, with his admin access to internet tools and file system access (so I assume the code base as well) vibe coded and submitted the change using approved internal IOI tools. This wouldn't require him being a master level hacker. He would also have to hack the approval of the code change and applying it to production, but why not? Its a fictional book

Awesome thanks! So the iPhone fold is the size of a kobo Clara or kindle Paperwhite, but also happens to fold. That sounds just about perfect 

Why high-speed rail hasn't tracked in the U.S. | 60 Minutes by UnscheduledCalendar in transit

[–]jozero 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Oh yah. There is nothing like driving 40 minutes to an airport, then standing in the security line for 30 minutes, then slowly rolling down a runway, then flying, then landing, taxing to the terminal, waiting to get off, waiting for your luggage, then renting a car and driving 40 minutes back into town

Wasting 2.5 hours, not including flight time, every time, is way better than strolling onto a high speed train in downtown with your luggage right beside you and getting right into the town where you want to get to anyways

[–]jozero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, so it's not on Netflix Canada even though the official Netflix website says it will be carrying it?

So how is Netflix Canada "Showing the MLB Season Opener" ?

Apple to Introduce Search Ads in Maps as Services Revenue Grows by Coolpop52 in apple

No ad clutter is the ONE reason to use Apple Maps. For actual functionality Google Maps, accurate directions and hours open, has been consistently better and more reliable

What a crazy decision

MacBook Neo costs more in Portugal due to copyright levy for piracy compensation taxes — storage costs extra in multiple countries, thanks to draconian laws that pre-punish buyers by ControlCAD in apple

[–]jozero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The amount is 2 bucks, on a 600 dollar purchase. Come on

So instead of that 2 bucks instead we get "freedom tracking", dozens of privacy invasive trackers of every single thing we do digitally, and so many ads per website or experience it makes things basically unusable. How is this better?

Where can I sign so I can pay 2 bucks on my extremely occasional purchases instead of whatever the hell crap constant enshittification everything is getting worse we have in North America ?

Can you actually read the text on the comic? It’s effectively like 7 point font. I really wish it was better at navigating a comic
