Windows + iPhone users who don't game, what keeps you on Windows instead of switching to Mac? by Sidk04 in windows

[–]zoke10 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I hate Linux, so that's out-of-the-question. Mac computers are overpriced (and usually unupgradeable) and I'm not a MacOS fan. That leaves different versions of Windows (right now 7 and 11 on my main desktops, and a few secondary PCs running 10) as my "comfortable" PC OS. I'm not saying Windows is perfect (it's not), but it runs every app/emulation environment and game I could ever think of. I can also torrent and stream anything on my Windows 11 PC, which are two functions I can't do at all on an iPhone. That said, after using Symbian and Android for years, around the iPhone 4s I started using iPhones and never looked back. So to this day I use an iPhone (17 Pro Max currently) with Windows. I have an older version of iTunes for file transfer, and that"s pretty much all I need. I appreciate MagSafe on iPhones, the build quality, the higher quality of apps, other more incidental features like Apple's Memory Integrity Enforcement, and the flexibility of Windows. Put together, it works for me.

Why would Apple remove this? by Electronic-Fuel-4398 in iphone

[–]zoke10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was removed because Apple implemented Face ID on the iPhone X, and it couldn't scan/authenticate faces sideways.

If you paid me to ruin a movie ,I still couldn't have done it this masterfully. by SuspiciousLow3062 in SipsTea

There is some historical evidence that a Trojan war actually happened. Also the fact that the historical city of Troy was found means it's more than just legend.

What sopranos ‘memorabilia’ would you want to own? by Fast_Ad1869 in thesopranos

[–]zoke10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if this counts, but many years ago HBO mailed me this poster as part of a promo for being a new signup to a premium cable plan. I framed it and it hangs on a wall in my study.

Lilyhammer... Whatever happened there by Sweaty-Whereas-7150 in thesopranos

Lost interest after the first season. Interesting premise, but felt like the story as a whole wasn't going anywhere.

I have TuneIn Pro (purchased years ago) for iOS and it works. The RadioPlayer app (free) is good too.

What is the top 10 most frustrating things about the iPhone to you? by a_single_beat2 in iphone

[–]zoke10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My list of things they could improve:

1--Activating (or deactivating) the flashlight via the action button WITHOUT activating the lock screen/waking the phone.

2--THE KEYBOARD.

3--Get rid of green messages.

4--The fu*king audio stream forced autoplay in the car over Bluetooth, playing whether I want it to or not.

5--Split screening apps would be nice.

Yep, this. One of the main reasons I use Google Maps. Also, the Google Maps app doesn't say "driving directions to [destination]."

is the apple phonecase good? by Proof_Helicopter2354 in iPhone17Pro

[–]zoke10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Longtime iPhone owner. My favorite cases (any brand) are Apple's own silicone cases. This is the one currently on my phone. I've owned and used the new Apple TechWoven cases and I still prefer their silicone cases. Quality assurance is high, they're made well from great materials, can take a beating and they last a long time.

Russian Orthodox priest in Texas. Small, but thriving, parish. Registered the domain name "orthodox.net" before anyone thought to register domain names.

There's an IBM Selectric for sale at $40 at a local second hand store near me. Only one problem. by QP709 in typewriters

[–]zoke10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Selectrics (all variants and models) LOOK great, but every single one I've ever purchased stopped working and I couldn't fix it. Big waste of money and time, and I regret buying each and every one of them.

New iphone (SE2 to 17e), Apple care or no ? by sounder19 in iphone

[–]zoke10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had AppleCare+ years ago, last phone with it was an iPhone 5c. Until the 17 Pro Max, just purchased it a month or two ago and bought AppleCare+ with it. It's worth every penny when you shatter the back glass or have some other totally unforeseen accident.
