  • iPhone 16 Users Complain About Excessive iOS 18 Battery Drain

    Jump

  • My battery health has degraded over the year or so I've had the 15 PM, but it's in normal range (89% with 272 charge cycles) and the change was noticed pretty immediately after upgrading to iOS 18.

  • I have been noticing my battery life being lower after the 18 and 18.0.1 update on the 15PM. It feels like I'm ending my day with less than 20% battery when before I was over 30% easily.

    It still gets me through the day, but not as comfortably.

  • Las Vegas' dystopia-sphere, powered by 150 Nvidia GPUs and drawing up to 28,000,000 watts, is both a testament to the hubris of humanity and an admittedly impressive technical feat | PC Gamer

  • It's funny, I think Vegas is perfectly fine as the city of sin so things like this really don't phase me. It was built on the idea of crime and excess.

    What does seem weird to me is how in a desert, why isn't everything solar? The sun is their only natural resource besides sand. Every rooftop and parking lot and flat surface possible seems like it should be a panel.

  • It also feels like their insistence is doing nothing but hurting them. The average consumer who doesn't know the difference between a local account and a Microsoft account won't know or care about MS doing this.

    But the users who do have a preference and do want a local account are just going to be irritated at it and give them bad press. They'll eventually figure out how to make a local account anyway and it may be the push they need to migrate off of Windows.

  • Gangs mix another potent sedative into U.S. street drugs causing 'mass overdoses'

  • It really feels like drug users' demand for drugs that don't kill them would create a market for artisanal drugs, like with the alcohol industry.

    If I had any interest in hard drugs, I would be terrified to use them now. I know we're dealing with addicts who aren't making good decisions, but aren't there wealthy coke fiends? How can anyone snort lines at a party if they don't know if it has all this lethal shit in it?

  • That is what is frustrating. He doesn't really mean what you "see". He means go with your gut/surface level feelings and understanding. If you "see" something that goes against what you see or what you feel without any specialized knowledge on the subject, go with your priors.

  • What is Reddit doing

    Jump

  • Did you get a browser error when trying this? It might be because you left the www in the URL. I had to remove that and replace it with old, and it works. The rest of the link structure is the same on both old and new reddit. I even tried it from a VPN just to be sure it wasn't seeing my logged in cookies, and in a private browsing window where RES isn't allowed to run. Worked fine.

  • Private Internet Access works for me. Just tested logged out in an incognito mode tab.

  • Interesting. I'll have to test it when I get home. I'm always signed in and I use RES so could be some other factors causing it to not be a problem for me.

  • That is basically what they did. There are a decent amount of third party apps around that work. I personally use Narwhal.

    The further we get from the whole third party app debacle, the more I think this was just a way to kill the most popular apps. The ones that people said made reddit worth using. The ones that got shouted out in Apple keynotes.

  • Is there anything about Aegis that makes it better than Authy? Just looking at the page for Aegis, I'm not seeing a lot of difference. And it being Android only limits it.

  • TIL 40 states in the US charge you $20-$80 a day for being incarcerated in prison.

    Jump

  • The very idea is absurd. It is so counter productive to the idea of rehabilitation. The prisons themselves say they aren't a significant revenue stream. Trying to offset the cost of a societal need by charging fees to prisons doesn't even make any sense. And the companies that are tasked with collecting this debt get 70% of what they collect which means that even the argument about offsetting the state's cost doesn't make sense.

    It's profit seeking, counter productive cruelty and that's it. Just shameful.

  • Reddit embracing all out enshittification

  • That's a principled stance.

  • You need good software to make the most out of good hardware, but I think our definition of good is different. For software, as long as the software doesn't get in the way of launching the app you want, most normies will consider that good. It doesn't matter that Android is bloated and inefficient if the user can tap the Instagram or Facebook icon and have that open up without user perceptible delay.

    The average person is remarkably able to put up with shit. Look at the experience on smart TVs for example. The vast majority of people are fine with the absolutely shitty experience as long as they can open up Netflix.

  • Use what you like. Just like Windows, macOS and Linux for the vast majority of people, all these OSes are, are platforms to display apps and webpages. They all have sanded off most of the rough edges meaning that unless you have specific niche needs/wants, you'll just use what is familar and be happy.

    Life is too short to have deep feelings about an OS.
