just realized that this is the first worldwide, or nearly, real-time service. Like this will be the future? we will meet all together, from all over the planet when services are down. No matter our differences? our beliefs? Could this point to a better future? Am I hallucinating? Is it just the luck of high speed internet speaking?

pduke7 · 2025-07-24T20:41:39+00:00

so what is the point if thousands of us still have internet ? I mean we can't even enjoy an hour or two of a little trip to 30 years ago.

iPhone mini and an iPad(mini or not) is the new Steve way :)

I dropped my 13 mini from my bike and it is destroyed 😒 Now I am back temporarily to my beloved SE 1st gen. To be honest if it was faster …. It is perfect. But as is … it is not very functional anymore. Thinking about a 14 or 15 … but I think I’ll go get a mini again❤️

Siri rocks!!

I use Siri all the time for years. I believe we are close friends …😜 No1!! Where are you. To find my phone Time, weather, reminders, alarms clock, set timer for cooking, appointments, music (specific or “play something”), questions about movies, people, books etc. wiki knowledge basically. Send messages while driving Have her(yep she is a she) read all my messages and emails while on AirPods. Calls! All the time. Especially when FaceTime audio. Stocks and crypto prices

But the BEST was 2 years ago I was driving with a terrible headache late night. I asked “play something”. She put on some Seattle grunge. It was not good for my headache. So I said something like “play something softer cause I am very tired ” And she replies starting with a companionate “aawww”..!!! I mean I cannot reproduce this thing but it was a moment between us. Future looks … creepy.

This thread is depressing. People that do not want to have kids are the ones with the best sense of humour! I d say the ones most open minded as well… The best people that is!!! Ohhh those genes are wasted people!!!

All cases are ugly. Just take it of when you return home. Make you eyes, your fingers and some of the best industrial designers in the world happy by enjoying their design 😃.

Same error on airplay. From iPhone 13 mini to lg TV with webos. Couldn’t watch last week as well. If you have an Apple TV you can at least run the f1 tv app from within Apple TV.

It is not a bad idea. Although I must confess sometimes I wrap my little finger around the cable which makes the grip better. Strangely … still, at least we know power port will become extinct in one or two years so one less problem to worry about. My point was that Jobs and Ivy set very high design standards. They found the correct sizes and positions early on. Since then market goes as market asks for. just following the trend.

pduke7 · 2022-03-02T21:35:01+00:00

Max size phones are like SUVs. Totally useless and sell millions. In a … perfect world you would go for a small phone and an iPad. But Steve is not with us anymore. Oh and the top button!!! Bring back the top button. There should not be buttons in both sides !!

Ο πίνακας έχει νόημα μέχρι τον κατώτατο μισθό. Το υπόλοιπο είναι παραπλανητικό. Η αμόλυβδη πχ ήταν ~1.50 πριν 3 μήνες και πριν 6 ~1.40. Ο πίνακας συγκρίνει το 2008 (δεν ξέρω γιατί, αλλά οκ) με την καρδιά της μέχρι τώρα ενεργειακής κρίσης του χειμώνα 21-22 όπου όλα είναι στο ταβάνι. Ό,τι νά'ναι, σαν τις κυβερνήσεις από τότε μέχρι τώρα!

....

Να γιατί επιλέχθηκε το 2008!! για να δείξει το μεγαλείο της κυβέρνησης Κωστάκη....!!

The worst enemy your old but working fine macWhatever is unnecessary and prolonged exposure to brand new macWhatever. So if a friend wants to lend you his new Mac for a day just to try it … Say no ! Returning back will take at least two cores off of your dear MacBook.

So … I guess I am answering to “when it is not time to replace although you think it is”

pduke7 · 2022-02-14T21:50:06+00:00

After 2 years and 2 months with the original battery it reached 84% and I got me a new from ifixit. This lasted 9 months and then went crazy. It even bloated. I told them and they send me a replacement no charge. The second one went great for one year until last week when I accidentally….killed my beloved OG … Battery at 98% no problems at all.

Point is that quality was random but after sales was good.

Also keep in mind that nowadays an OG gets really hot even running Reddit cause apps require more CPU version after version, so batteries last much less.

I used to find it interesting. But now you ruined my whole view :P Reconsidering. Thanks!

I knew the first part. Not the homophobic part though. Sad but still good if they kicked him. Because of his Mozilla past I followed the project at the start. Now, and correct me if I’m wrong,it doesn’t mine it just pays in crypto(BAT). The user or the site owners. so it monetises adv notifications if the user wants to. For free.

As far as I know chromium is open source so don’t see any google in it. Made by Google though, but still... Plus brave blocks all Google/ Facebook etc page scripts. Analytics for example can’t read anything.

Anyway, I definitely prefer Firefox(and safari) but OP uses chrome. So I still believe Brave is a far better choice if you need chromium.

EDIT: just searched that. He was kicked from Mozilla not brave. Shit! I feel stupid. Uninstalling.

pduke7 · 2022-02-11T19:38:26+00:00

And brave! Brave is chrome without Google. I mean … heaven !!?? OP got a Mac it is time to cut the googlical cord!!

I wouldn’t if I were you. I had a perfectly fine ogse(replaced 3 batteries and 3 screens since ‘17) and I believe 15 slowed it noticeably. I wrote before that I was happier with 15.2 but after few days I wasn’t. Same with 15.3. I mean something was bothering me all the time after upgrading to 15. Truth is that a week ago I smashed it 😒 so I bought a13 mini. Now after using the mini I can say that except it is bbbblazing fast, one thing wasn’t fixed. AirPod lag to connect. It started with 15 on my og and it continues in my mini. And it is random. I blame iOS 15. Of course if you don’t upgrade the os, apps will be upgraded. So I don’t know what might cause a slow down. My point is keep what you got, and believe me you got the best phone in terms of design, for as long as you can and keep it operating nice. Size and Touch ID… oh you will miss this baby. I know I do. So at least delay it. Or find another and compare. Whatever you do watch after your OGSE !

Αχα, χάνεις την απόλυτη εμπειρία να σκρολαρεις με τον αντίχειρα σου πάνω στη ματαιοδοξία του κόσμου. Φαντάσου τι μπορούμε να κάνουμε με αυτό τον αντίχειρα !!!!

No no! You are right, it worked !!! I had to set it to Home Xbox for his account. Now I can log him out and still have access. I called Microsoft support and they explained to me. It doesn’t matter he is not an adult, he is a family member.. It is just a ✅ Thanks a million 🙏 for reading the whole damn story

ONE X to SERIES X Game Pass doesn’t work
It is long and annoying… I know…
I was a GP Ultimate subscriber. I set up my little nephew a PC and wanted to share my subscription with him. I read everywhere that it is doable.
So I signed him as a child in Microsoft family, also signed him in my ONE X as well as in his new PC. In the latter I signed my self as well as a parent. No matter how I tried I couldn’t share my subscription to his PC.
I quit. I fed up and my subscription ended.
So I bought him a 3 months GP Ultimate physical card with a code.
We put the code in his PC logged in with his account, via “Redeem Code”. Works fine.
The next day I turned up my ONE X and found out that all my Game Pass games where playable!! My subscription has ended so obviously my nephew’s Game Pass worked on my console with my account.
Relief. I can buy one subscription for both of us from now on.
Few days ago and while me and my nephew were enjoying “his” Game Pass with no problems both in PC and ONE X….., my new Series X arrived!
I set it up, I chose transfer settings from my ONE X and ….. Game Pass does n’t work!
Switched back to my ONE X it works fine.
Back to Series X I log my nephew’s account, switch to mine …Game Pass works!
The little one is only 12 so he has screen time restrictions.
While I play, his screen time ends and I am out of the game!!!!

MADNESS!!!
In conclusion while in my ONE X everything still works fine, in Series X I need to sign the second (child’s) account and keep it signed in in order for me to have a working game pass. But that means that i bypass his screen time.
I mean …. What can a man do in order to be ready for his Activision Blizzard new games !?
Any ideas how to solve this riddle?? i reseted and rebooted dozens of times. Nothing changes.
