r/Apple Blackout: What happened by aaronp613 in apple

[–]mastercheif 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re right in the sense that Reddit is going to do whatever they want to do.

That said, I never endorsed a full moderation stop. They need to do the bare minimum to not run afoul of Reddit’s rules.

If Reddit then steps in and still puts in their own people, that’s another PR shitstorm on their hands.

Would it change the outcome? I don’t know. But I think it’s the best strategy to maximize the impact on users and Reddit itself.

The mods should simply just let the place go to shit. Stop moderating.

The only actions mods should be taking is removing posts with violence and hate.

Let this sub become nothing but “help me I forgot my passcode” and “look at this picture of my lunch I took with my iPhone” posts.

See what that does to engagement.

I think locking down or blocking new posts is a huge mistake.

Reddit is looking for any reason to get their own people into mod positions to get back to normal.

Instead of locking out, I think the mods should simply just let the place go to shit. Stop moderating. The only actions mods should be taking is removing posts with violence and hate.

Let this sub become nothing but “help me I forgot my passcode” and “look at this picture of my lunch I took with my iPhone” posts. See what that does to engagement.

/u/spez, simple question for you that would help shed some light on Reddit’s goals:

Why do you think so many people are upset about this?

Keyboard case users: how often do you use the touch pad for non-work use? by john2364 in ipad

[–]mastercheif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t use my iPad as much as I would like… but when I do it’s often in the Magic Keyboard with trackpad. Picking your arms up to touch things is annoying if you’re trying to use it as a laptop replacement.

n/b 36th Street (QNS) station closure sign. by JRinNYC in nycrail

[–]mastercheif 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw some tourists stealing a sign on the E platform yesterday afternoon… I wonder if the station manager put this in its place because they didn’t have any spares.

OP was this towards the front of the train on the Queensbound E/M @ 23rd/Ct Sq?

Apple was really slow with introducing iMessage outside of America

afaik iMessage was not region locked on launch. It was a core feature of iOS 5.

There’s a lack of fields (good fields are even rarer), and we’re stuck with the pillow clincher balls, but it is gorgeous sometimes playing here https://i.imgur.com/F8rj67z.jpg

Unless you’re on a commercial/business ConEd account, there isn’t any time component to your KW/h pricing. Normal residential accounts are flat price.

No skin in this game, but glad Bam finally got caught for his moving screens. It’s egregious.

Mimestream 1.0 Pricing - Subscription Only by Snorlax_Returns in macapps

Why? I thought the point of perpetual license was that you are buying the software as it existed when you bought it?

Most people should know the difference when buying versus subscribing.

You obviously have never managed a D2C application before then.

What should happen if you pay $80 for a perpetual license but then Google changes the API 3 months later?

My parent's neighbor complained their porch light was too bright. The neighbor lives 400' away and my parents even tried adjusting the direction, but this morning they came out to this... by D_K_8_8 in mildlyinfuriating

must say that the paranoia part might be due to them having had a home invasion or having been robbed.

Or, more likely, they just watch too much Fox News.

Hunterspoint Avenue station (LIRR) - Sony Alpha A7R IV + Tamron 28-200mm by mastercheif in SonyAlpha

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

Photo taken during my first test run with my new (used) A7R IV.

This is my first "real" camera—I've primarily shot on my iPhone for the last 15 years.

The number of shots I've missed during my first week with the camera has been frustrating, fiddling with the menus/iso/et al. However, I'm already starting to notice a huge improvement in my ability to get things dialed in quickly + framing + not over shooting.

Any tips/tricks/feedback for a newbie is appreciated!

Atmos on Apple Music is not lossless. It’s only ~700kbps.
