I like that it doesn’t detract from the original mood. I also appreciate the remaster of the washing machine model, it really needed it.

That all being said, it’s also amazing that those 20 year old graphics still don’t look half bad.

I mean that’s a fair assumption of what their ticker might’ve been

I have email addresses under Outlook (old personal account), Gmail (study provided email), Exchange (work) and Proton (main personal account). I also actively use the calendar feature in my client, which is sync’d up to my Nextcloud instance.

Just having it all under Thunderbird is so convenient and it feels more private. It’s also an entirely consistent UI between accounts

I think that’s a Hermitcraft reference, and I did not expect to see that on Lemmy of all places.

If you look up Hermitcraft S6 rap battle I think there’s a segment where Xisumavoid (sometimes called X) raps that

Edit: Jesus Christ this is embarrassing

I’m not a big Twitter user to begin with, so I assumed based on the title that it was going to be similar to YouTube disabling the dislike counter.

This is making the list of posts you’ve “Liked” private. Saved you a click.

Personally I’d like this to be a toggleable feature like Reddit has (had?), but otherwise, yeah seems like an obtuse change, I don’t understand the why behind it.

Anyone got a non paywalled version of this?

Oh my gosh, that solution is incredibly smart. I’ve been wanting to keep my phone below 80% since I got it, but ultimately was trying to manually check it and gave up, and two years later my Pixel 4a battery is pretty poor.

I’m setting this up, thank you so much. I think I do even have a WiFi adapter somewhere I hadn’t found a use for.

Yeah, I believe that was a change they made not long after shafting 3rd party apps. I had a couple older iOS devices with their own older versions of third party apps, and that change effectively made any post with a Reddit uploaded image unviewable. Incredibly infuriating and I can’t understand the logic behind it either.

I will say that further to that, a few years ago Imgur made a change that does the same damn thing if it detects you’re on mobile. Unless you tick “Show Desktop Site” in your browser, it’s impossible to actually standalone view a direct image.

I made the same mistake and was initially like “50wpm? Amateur.” Once I saw it was Android, I shut my mouth with my 20wpm on my phone.

It was WHAT? Time to dust off my HP Jornadas

How hard is it to port LOS? I’ve been wanting to do it for a couple obscure devices I have but I’ve read the documentation and felt overwhelmed.

You’re thinking of Puffin Web Browser, which is definitely a very bizarre approach. However, I believe they recently discontinued their ios port.

From my own experience, I’ve also seen it on price checkers (Kmart Australia), navigation devices (Navman GPS units) and older Clarion head units.

There is ThumbKey on F-Droid that, if you get good at the layout, I imagine would be ideal for that phone.

Legetimately that was so frustrating for them to kill off, I thought it so novel to browse compact Reddit on an iOS 6 device.

If the screenshot in the article is to be believed, it literally has a typo, missing a quote for Don’t, which is usually one of the most common ways to spot suspicious activity and malware, and now, as someone working for an MSP, I have to now tell those users who see this that confusingly, yes this was legitimate and it was a Microsoft ad. The font isn’t exactly standard either, the buttons look like Arial which also just looks suspicious.

No, iOS can absolutely be updated, but only up to where Apple stops supporting the device. I think my iPhone SE 1st gen was released on iOS 9, and it got to iOS 15, where Apple did not release iOS 16 for it. However it still gets security updates and probably will for about another year, based on Apple’s history.

I still have my first gen iPhone SE on iOS 15, still completely usable in 2023 although I am noticing more apps only available on iOS 16, mostly newer releases such as Lemmy clients, ChatGPT (the app), etc.

I don’t think this is too bad for a 6 year old phone. I used to daily drive my Galaxy S5 until about three years ago when it was 5 years old, and that was forced up to modern LineageOS at that point because the original Samsung firmware just wasn’t cutting it.

There’s a lot of things I hate about Apple which I could rag on for days, but the argument of “You need to replace your iPhone every two years” is an uninformed opinion, and a baseless argument.

Yeah, I’m really trying to find a tablet that is about 8 inches and has extremely smooth usage of web browsing and YouTube, that isn’t an iPad mini (or Samsung, just don’t like their UI), and it seems like nothing comes close anywhere in the industry, maybe with the possible exception of the Google Pixel Tablet. It feels like the entire industry gave up trying to innovate tablets because iPads were that good.

I have a MBP 2015 and I love all the integrations with other stuff like my iPhone and Apple Watch, but every time I see a convenience feature like “Scan from iPhone” I just stop for a second and think “Imagine that was an open source, documented API that any developer could both hook into and implement into something like Windows or Linux.”

Apple is so good at making everything just work when everything is Apple. Truly, I think if this problem was solved for PC users, it would take away from Apple’s market share

I think being unreliable is not accurate. I’m doing the whole password manager thing in what can be only described as the most unreliable way, by self hosting it, and so far I literally haven’t had any downtime (touch wood).

Even with LastPass being compromised, the database itself was still encrypted and the only way in would be to guess your master password. If you have even a half decent master password, that should be plenty of time for you to have both changed your passwords, and ideally changed password managers at that point.

I really don’t agree with recommending just remembering passwords in your head, because we’re all human and we’re bound to be lazy and start reusing passwords for certain services. And sometimes, you might have no choice but to be signed up to all different things. Even just the bare essentials for me would be email, my bank account, my superannuation, my local government account, my work password, my laptop password. That’s too many passwords for me to keep track of and I know that.

If I were you, based on what you’re saying, I’d probably recommend to you a local password manager that just uses a local vault, like KeePass-compatible managers, because you’re entirely managing where your passwords are and how securely they’re stored, and they’re not open to the internet. I used to have this setup, but found it ultimately difficult to keep the database in sync on all my different devices (2 laptops, desktop, 2 phones, and tablet).

I do self host and it’s worth it. I just have a Raspberry Pi in the corner next to the router running all the time and I’ve had no issues for about a month of doing it now.

The thing that gets me with this, is that Windows 11 is genuinely good in my opinion, and now that a lot of the launch day bugs have been ironed out, it’s much nicer to use than Windows 10 from a UX and usability standpoint.

I feel similar with Edge. Vertical tabs, the good Microsoft integration (in my case for work), good performance, it’s a totally usable web browser.

And then Microsoft squanders all of that with these invasive marketing decisions. I hate every time I start Microsoft Edge for the first time, there’s these undismissable full window prompts to sign into my Microsoft account, obviously this crap that’s been posted, the way Windows 10 was aggressively marketed onto Windows 7/8 users, it all leaves a bad taste in everyone’s mouth.

Working in help desk and PC repairs, I’m not looking forward to the amount of tickets and retail customers coming in confused about all this, think it’s a virus, think that they must upgrade or else, that they did accidentally hit yes on this and now their machine isn’t familiar to them anymore.

Greed really does ruin everything.
