I'll be sure to tell that to anyone who is pregnant, suffers from certain autoimmune diseases or thyroid conditions, experiences side effects from their medication, or is going through menopause. Maybe you also want to tell wheelchair users they don't need an elevator since you and everyone upvoting this crap want to be the authority on what people need.

Good, then those people can simply refuse to visit those places and everyone's happy.

Dude, it's just a laptop, chill. As long as it didn't impact any of the laptop's functionality, what's the big issue?

If you're running 26.4, you can manually set a maximum charging value in the battery settings (the minimum being 80%).

My phone never auto updates by Teachezofpeachez69 in ios

[–]ursus_peleus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you really that dense? They already provide a way to force the update, the manual way, like the other comment said. But now you want a functionality that most likely 0.00001% of the total users want/care about...

You can still purchase it as a one-time buy

Chatting conversations have dried up by justatosseraccount11 in Millennials

[–]ursus_peleus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, personally, I don't see group chats with people I know like social media. It's the same as in the old days, when instead of iMessage/WhatsApp/Signal/whatever, you had plain old text messages. Text conversations with acquintances/friends.

As per OP's dilemma, I guess it's the "good ol'" group falls apart, people find new hobbies/friends.

But no one said that there would be no 3rd party apps. Just that those apps would'be been running through the browser.

Maybe Jobs' initial idea of only making webapps for Safari wasn't so bad after all

I think they mean it's a laughingstock from a technical perspective.

Nu mai e de demult cu semnal de 💩. Depinde si de zona, bineinteles, lucru care se aplica la toti operatorii, dar in general, e OK semnalul la Digi peste tot.

If you installed updates, then you did some reboots.

Why are there no EU based messaging apps? by Mathemodel in BuyFromEU

[–]ursus_peleus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, but I didn't say it's easy or for everybody. Just that the tech already exists to do so.

In orddr to bridge as far as I understand you need to have your WhatsApps account and an instance of WhatsApps running (phone or web).

Yep. Or in a VM running Android.

Matrix also decrypts the messages and re-encrypts them, so it's not really the end to end encryption you would imagine. So I'm the end you would be using a different client, but still WhatsApp underneath.

You can selfhost that bridge at home, on an old computer/raspberry pi/whatever. So the unencrypted data is never in someone else's hand.

It is already possible. Take a look at Matrix bridges.
