  • Apple Brings in New Exec to 'Fix' Siri and Apple Intelligence

    Jump

  • That would be great to be honest. I have many shopping lists in reminders named as the stores which I frequent, with one catch all called “shopping” they are in a group called “shopping” because of course they are. Until recently adding reminders worked like “Siri add xyz to my shopping list”. But now Siri pops up saying “do you mean shopping, or shopping?” And clicking either option results in an error that the app needs to be opened. How fucking stupid can it be? One isn’t even a list! Works fine from my Apple Watch though. Changed the category to “to buy” because fuck me, right?

  • And the stand or cable will cost extra, too!

  • TIL Netflix ad tier blocks some shows and movies unless you upgrade your plan

    Jump

  • I use this on iOS and iPadOS. It isn’t perfect and needs tinkering and tweaking. But it does block ads systemwide in most apps (banner ads, not those pesky in game ads usually). And you can customise it by seeing what ad servers were called, and add them to the block list.

  • TIL that if you search "thank my driver" on the Amazon app, you can give your most recent Amazon driver a $5 tip at no cost to you. This is a limited time promotion.

  • Works in Japan, too. Gives ¥500 extra.

  • IPhones' default photo format is HEIC, something that Windows doesn't open by default.

  • Have you got compatibility turned on in the photos app?

  • [QUESTION] When making soups, exactly how important is it to cover the pot?

    Jump

  • On cooking shows I’ve seen cooks use a frying pan as a lid in a pinch. If you have one of a decent size that might work as a lid for making soup.

  • I feel like nobody here read the actual article.

    I agree. Most people are acting like they are killing off the whole product line (of which there is only one product currently). However, the article clearly states that a second generation product is in the works.

  • Everyone get out of the way, it’s me!!!

  • I do the same in Japan. Most residential streets don’t have sidewalks so we share them with cars, pedestrians and bicycles. Some of the bigger streets have quite wide sidewalks (one car lane’s width or more) so I would use those.

    But in this photo, the sidewalks are minuscule. I especially understand the dog walker choosing the road instead.

    I’m happy that my town has started to widen sidewalks and reduce the width of roads to promote more foot traffic in the downtown area.

  • It pains me to see all the efforts of Apple in the Apple Vision Pro, whereas what would really have made a significant difference is an Apple printer. Like a printer that actually

    Jump

  • I see. I mean, Apple had printers in the early 90s (or earlier perhaps) but they were just rebadged HPs.

    If you’re looking for color calibration you might want to look for a professional grade printer. Dye sublimation printers will offer the best quality for photography, which I assume is what you want a printer for, especially since you mention color calibration.

    And dye sublimation printers are not compatible with apple’s airprint, so this could be a viable endeavour were Apple the enter the printer market again. But, I just don’t think there is demand for such a product. The printer market for consumers is already flooded with options, and most of them work just out of the box with Apple products.

    Are you having any particular problems with your printer and Apple devices?

  • How would you define “works in a really easy way”? I don’t have any problem with current printer technology. What issues are you encountering? HP is a steaming pile of manure. But Brother and EPSON both make excellent models.

  • I’ve had companies write clauses in their employee manual which states you must apply and get approval for using your paid vacation days a month in advance. When you sign the contract, you agree to these rules.

    The thing is, where I live, there is no requirement to receive approval, and you really only need to give one day of notice (which has precedent in court). The use of these days off if the employee’s legal right.

    The really shitty thing is that companies can legally write illegal clauses in their contracts, they just can’t enforce them. However, if an employee is young and doesn’t know their rights, they will just follow the rules blindly (I know I did).

    Also, leave only accumulated for two years here, so you have to use it or lose it.

    So the moral of the story is to educate yourself on your local labor laws.

  • Has anyone ever seen a "10A" USB-C cable and can tell what their purpose is?

    Jump

  • I’ll save you guys from watching. It was just a bog standard crappy USB C cable. This video reeks of advertising to me. The tool which was used to identify the cable (which tbh I thought was pretty cool, so I searched it using the obvious hints in the video) is a kickstarter which is starting sometime today. Awfully sus!

  • It sucks, yes. But, if you select the “web” tab instead of the “all” tab at the top of the page, you’ll get something more akin to what you’re looking for. There’s probably even a way to script it so that it defaults to that view.

  • Fried chicken help?

  • If you’re open to something a little different, Japanese fried chicken is awesome and very simple to make. This recipe works well for me.

  • Oh yeah, you got me there. Didn’t consider that you were implying that. Whoops! My bad. I’ll leave the above comment though in case others find it useful somehow. Thanks!

  • That’s totally true. I do see where they have posted. I personally disagree that it is mildly infuriating though. We’re all allowed our own opinions. If I was working in tech support and had the OP call up, their actions would come across as mildly infuriating.
