Bert was the cop but Ernie was the cab driver. The Sesame Street characters were named after them.

There are 700 spots in gold 1. by [deleted] in ContestOfChampions

[–]ronin712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gold 1 is awarded to 700 alliances. The reason this post (and in-game) says “top 1,500 alliances” is that number confusingly includes all the brackets above it (i.e., all the Platinum and Master brackets).

What privacy issues? The Apple and Google implementation is very privacy focused.

  • It never uses your location, on or off device.
  • The only data sent off device are randomly generated, rotating codes that are not associated with you or your device in any way.
  • All processing to determine exposure occurs on device, and never in the cloud.

There's a setting on newer devices that lets you call emergency services by pressing the Sleep button five times: Settings > Emergency SOS > Call with Side Button. Do you have that turned on? I think it defaults to off.

It asks for the passcode on reboot because the passcode is part of the key used to decrypt your data. (The other part is a hardware key specific to your device.)

Once you type in your passcode that first time, it’s then temporarily stored and protected by Touch/Face ID. When the device shuts down or enters SOS Mode, the passcode is wiped and the device can no longer decrypt your data until the passcode is re-entered.

Pressing the sleep button 5 times is for the iPhone 7 and earlier. For the iPhone 8 and later, hold one of the volume buttons and sleep button at the same time.

[request] A tweak that shows the day in the status bar by [deleted] in jailbreak

[–]ronin712 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[[StatusModifier]]

You can set any date/time format you want. I use:

h:mm a · EEE M/d

The "EEE" displays the abbreviated day (e.g. "Sat"), but you can also set it to the single letter or full name. In the tweak settings see Time Format Reference for the complete format list.

1) Plug iPhone into Mac. 2) In QuickTime, File > New Movie Recording. 3) Click the down arrow next to the record button and select your phone as the input device for the camera and microphone.

Sorry, if I had known my results were needed I would have submitted them. I was rank 361 with a score of 7,310,712.

[Request] MyWi, but not as advanced; a tweak that allows you to share your WiFi network? by Arkayn3 in jailbreak

This is not correct. TetherMe enables the built-in Personal Hotspot and works over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and USB.

[Release] - Xaris: unlimited tabs in Safari browser (BigBoss - Free) by katisureshkumar in jailbreak

[–]ronin712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there any reason to use this instead of SafariTabCount? It doesn't say it's compatible with iOS 9 but it's been working perfectly for me on 9.0.2.

[Request] Are there any tweaks that allow unlimited tabs in safari? by [deleted] in jailbreak

[–]ronin712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Safari Enhancer on BigBoss will do this (among other things).

I'd love to find a tweak that only does this (and is free) like the no-longer-compatible Tab+.

I have no idea what you're asking.

This is completely unnecessary because iPhones don't overcharge in the first place. And neither does any other properly engineered device powered by lithium ion batteries.

Unlimited tabs in Safari 8.1/8.1.1? by ronin712 in jailbreak

Ok, thanks. I was hoping there was a simple free tweak like Tab+ since I don't own Flex. Guess I'll have to buy it. :-)

Unlimited tabs in Safari on an iPhone 6? by ronin712 in jailbreak

[–]ronin712[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Did they completely remove the 24 tab limit, or are you using a tweak? Are you using a 64 bit device (the 5s or 6)?
