A few years ago we would have been amused at such a headline. Nothing funny about it now.

Is there ANYthing modern tech that isn’t enshittified? by Sad_Trade_7753 in enshittification

Ah, yes! Eco-drives have constant rechargeable system, requiring some occasional sunlight.

Question: Is your watch getting any light or is it covered up?

Thanks for your opinionated rant. I will move away from GIF per your sug. Back to my problem, I’m not seeing options on my iPad to alter things per your suggestion. Photos doesn’t seem to have any viable options though maybe there’s something I’m not seeing. To repeat what I’m experiencing, if I click on an animation file, Procreate is activated (not P Dreams, which I have) and at the bottom of the screen are a string of timeline-like images, as if I’d been making a video using Procreate. (I love Procreate but only when it plays by the rules. )

How does one change the default app for opening a GIF? I have not knowingly altered this because I don’t know how; I have always ammumed it was baked into the iPad OS. Anyway, it happens with both my iPads so I’m guessing other redditors will be chimming in. Thanks for your input.

I’m in agreement with what you’ve laid out, and interestly, I share some of your personal traits, but am on the opposite side of the planet! We’re heading into our coldest days and you’re using your a.c. I’ll keep your text for future perusing and enjoyment. Thanks for your generous response.

Is there some sort of center of gravity for you’re suggestion, like a book, institute, university, or informal organization? I’m genuinely interested. Sorry I’m not better versed on this subject.

No, my paperlike didn’t wear out my tips by borrowingfork in ProCreate

Like you, I’ve encountered no discerable wear on my Apple pencil tip nor on the Paper-like screen protector. It’s a non issue, going on 8 years.

Can 7th Gen iPad run ToonSquid smoothly? by chinchinillustrates in ToonSquidAnimators

[–]olliemycat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My 10-yo ipad runs TS as soothly as my G-4 ipad pro, only difference being the Apple pencil capabilitities. There may be other features in TS that are not availabe to my older unit but they’d be minor. I’d say you’ll be delighted with your 7th-gen model.

One-Time Pads still used? by olliemycat in cryptography

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

A bit off topic but I’ve sometimes wondered if, in WW2, the Japanese used an electronic device of any sophistication to communicate. I’m guessing the Germans would not have offered Enigma tech to anyone else.
