  • I tried it over a decade ago, the 3rd party app on windows phone I was using was pulled and so I had no desire to use it once I was on iOS and android a few years later.

    Never really saw the appeal of “stories” feels like attention seeking to me. Sending shitpost photos that you don’t care to keep to friends makes a little more sense but still not my bag

  • OpenAI’s latest model will block the ‘ignore all previous instructions’ loophole

    Jump

  • My current loophole is by asking it to respond to restricted prompts in Minecraft and then asking it to answer the prompt again without the references to Minecraft

  • Bet y'all are very familiar with this

  • Lemmy doesn’t track your cumulative karma as far as I can tell. So it’s not really farming since you don’t even get a badge that says you have a big pp for it

  • Report: Resident Evil 7 on iOS has earned Capcom $28,140 since launch

    Jump

  • If Apple wants to compete in the gaming market they need to release an Apple TV powered by the Apple Silicon M series processor and a big SSD.

    Only the $1000 latest pro phone can play the AAA games. No one is buying a thousand dollar phone for Resident Evil when it’s $70 for the console they probably already have.

    If you can convince people to get a $300 Apple TV whose games you can also natively play on your phone you might have a chance

  • Their obsession with “freeze peach” has always been a facade to their true desire which is to censor opposing viewpoints and make their viewpoints the only form of acceptable speech.

    You’ll note that everything outside those bounds is “woke” and unacceptable

  • FTC study finds 'dark patterns' used by a majority of subscription apps and websites | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • “Dark patterns” is the crux of capitalism. There have always been manipulative sales tactics with or without tech. “Number go up” worship has led to countless methods of abusive sales tactics, pervasive advertisement, unwanted spam and cold calling, and deceptive pricing.

    Good on the FTC for trying to rein in some aspects of this but without addressing the root cause it’s like plugging one hole as the dam is about to burst.

  • Way uncool of OP to expose me like this

  • iPhone users, what's stopping you from switching to Android?

    Jump

  • I’ve used android at various times. Most recently around 3 years ago. I probably won’t switch back unless there is some really compelling hardware I just can’t resist.

    Some reasons I prefer iPhone is that iMessage was just a better experience for messaging than SMS and the fragmented support that RCS had back when I was an android user.

    iOS is also consistent experience across devices rather than having a different flavor with different launchers and bloat per manufacturer. Android is nice in that you can extend your experience by sideloading apps but eventually the more you add, the more chances you have of them randomly crashing and detracting from the experience

    Finally I am locked in to the hardware ecosystem, android/Google do have their own alternatives to this but they aren’t as nice as apple’s. AirPods just work. AppleTV doesn’t have ads unlike google tv. Your iCloud files, photos, messages etc. just sync to your Mac without thinking.

    If I did get a new android device I’d probably be a pixel but I just don’t trust google. And I don’t trust them to support a device or service and keep it out of the killedbygoogle graveyard

  • How programmers comment their code

    Jump

  • This is true, but it’s easier and faster to parse plain English and so if I don’t adequately comment my code the first time. I will be commenting it when I have to return to it for whatever reason. Honestly the second round of commenting is more verbose and clearer than the function x does y style of comments I tend to make when coding the first time

  • Sony won't phase out Blu-ray movie and game discs, only ceasing production on consumer BD-R

    Jump

  • Don’t the other companies still have to license or at least pay royalties to Sony to make BD-R or that only for commercial discs?

  • Uncovering Every Lie in MKBHD's Softball Interview; a scathing critique of 'brand safe' influencers

    Jump

  • I really don’t think large brands like Apple have that many paid shills. Apple has a large fan base and good marketing. People that like their devices just naturally repeat the marketing line because they don’t really know why they like the devices, Apple marketing just told them that is why it is good. And fanatics will spend mental energy defending them for no good reason

    Lemmy and the fediverse have sizable Apple communities and Apple is definitely not paying anyone to shill here

  • Shopping app Temu is “dangerous malware,” spying on your texts, lawsuit claims

    Jump

  • If it’s $5 and some random assortments of letters for a brand name you might as well just light your money on fire whether you order from temu or amazon or Walmart for that matter

  • It states that it’s somehow breaking the permissions sandbox by dynamically recompiling code after the app is opened. Unless there is some undisclosed exploit that it’s using to break the sandbox, it’s outside most people’s understanding of how these platforms work

  • Ubiquiti U7 Pro Max WiFi 7 Access Point Teardown: To fan or not to fan

    Jump

  • It’s not really documented anywhere officially. I’ve found the knowledge over the years from searching the ubnt forums. But I stopped using unifi equipment a few years ago for similar reasons.

    This forum thread is probably the best starting point I can give you but configuring unifi APs via ssh for any reason other than maybe a botched IP configuration is a bad idea

  • Ubiquiti U7 Pro Max WiFi 7 Access Point Teardown: To fan or not to fan

    Jump

  • You can configure them independently of a controller by ssh but the config will be lost on a reboot or when the device next polls the controller

    Edit: and apparently someone else has said you can use the app to configure them without a controller at all

  • Apple Reportedly Suspends Work on Vision Pro 2

    Jump

  • If they can’t get the headset to fit the size and weight of swimming goggles, I don’t think it can get mass adoption

  • Overflow

    Jump

  • It’s definitely the smaller viewports that give the most trouble, and as I am a stubborn mini phone user, I make sure that my projects are responsive to smaller screen sizes.

    The other part is that I’m not a front end dev, so these are just my personal projects and I don’t know all the hacks to really optimize layouts on smaller screen sizes.
