Oh man I feel like I have PTSD from procrastinating on projects for so many years. Heart rate is up, and I feel like drinking in excess.

- bch 5y agoDefault Apple iPhone ringtone sent shivers down my spine for ages after a few years of having it as my on-call work phone.
- christophilus 5y agoYes. Word of advice to anyone reading this: if you are given an on-call phone, change the ringtone to something you’re unlikely to ever hear in any other context.
- TedDoesntTalk 5y agoI spent $1.99 on a custom ringtone in the Apple AppStore. Best $1.99 I ever spent because I’ve never heard another phone with this ringtone (can’t be said for ANY of the default ringtones). That’s after several hours using GarageBand to create and export a custom ringtone. That was an utter nightmare because there’s just no easy way to get custom ringtones onto iOS unless you buy it from the AppStore.
- brokenmachine 5y agoYou can't import your own custom ringtone on iOS? What possible justification could Apple have for such a limitation? "Security" again?
- TedDoesntTalk 5y agoYou can. I did... eventually. It requires GarageBand and is an unbelievable pain.
- brokenmachine 5y agoWhat's painful about it? What's the process?
- winternett 5y agoNot me... My phone and desktop have been on silent with all notifications off since summer of 99'... My family hates me because I'm always missing calls, but I sleep like a rock. Navigation voice is also off in my car ritually since it started talking too much and unnecessarily pointing out places of interest, I always miss turns but oh well. No big deal. I still wonder if there is a Google assistant command to turn ringers on and off though, maybe one year I'll look it up. I have a feeling that one day soon we may not have a choice of turning notifications off because it gets in the way of fake manufacturer notifications though... There's a bunch of evil ManuFacturers out there lately creating fake notifications.
- brokenmachine 5y agoMy phone is on silent/vibrate at all times, and automatically goes into "do not disturb" mode in the evening. Only calls from very few specified numbers are allowed during DND mode. If I had to listen to all the beeping and noises that other people seem to, I would have thrown the phone out the window by now.
- sli 5y agoThe iPhone DND switch is something that should be on every mobile device.
- bentcorner 5y agoAndroid has it too, although it's software (but some have a hardware switch which kinda-sorta does similarly). I just leave my phone permanently on DND and whitelist a few contacts and apps.
- danuker 5y ago> unnecessarily pointing out places of interest I have never experienced this in Romania. But if the proprietary clouds give you trouble, try OsmAnd, which uses OpenStreetMap: https://osmand.net/ https://osmand.net/ It is also available on F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/net.osmand.plus/ https://f-droid.org/en/packages/net.osmand.plus/
