Also the sound seems to register itself as a media sound, so it will hijack your play/pause functionality. If I'm playing music and get a call, pressing play/pause to stop my music will just stop the ringing while continuing

To be fair, it's not a great design choice to shove an ad in between the purchase section and the product/compatibility info

I'm guessing they scrolled down to the generic MagSafe promo above the product info section and thought the MagSafe wallets (that have been out for a while) were battery packs

Bad moderation can also drive away good people and good discussion. I still tend to keep up with most Android news on /r/android but the mods there went super full crackdown on moderation the past several years, constantly removin

There are decent (free and paid) third-party clients that make Reddit a much nicer experience on mobile. On Android I was a big fan of Sync for Reddit, and on iOS I've been using Apollo. Every once in a while I'll open up the offi

You won't get all content on PC though because not every game gets ported there. I think a lot of people are pretty happy with a PC + Switch combo, since there's straight up no hope of Nintendo porting their games to PC in any tim

This article doesn't even mention how horrible the implementation is, too. It didn't merge your conversations with a person into a single thread across Facebook Messenger and Instagram. Instead it created 4 permutations of threads

That's good to know. And it seems like there's a good handful of other people with similar experiences (though that could be bias of the type of people who would be in a thread about linkedin) Maybe I won't discount it. The d

Is LinkedIn actually an important thing to have? I made one years ago and used to occasionally go in and update it, but with my most recent job I didn't even take the time to add it. The past few years I've really re-evaluated wha

Did we watch the same Windows 11 announcement? It was horribly cringey and corporate. I swear at one point a presenter said something like “the start button is in the center because the product puts you at the center,” and assertions about

I mainly just want out of Gmail because all of my internet accounts are tied to that address and it's known that your account could just be terminated by a bot for no reason and the only way to get it back is to make a stink on social

Just this week I started looking into Gmail alternatives (as well as de-Googling myself as much as possible) and while I haven't pulled the trigger on anything yet, Fastmail is looking like the top contender at the moment. Hey was on t

I built my mom a moderate Windows PC for her accounting work a few years ago. Pretty standard Intel build, no graphics card cause it's not like she needs that. And for the most part it works fine, until every few months it'll slow

The Jetbrains IDE git GUI is by far the best git GUI I've used, I feel lost trying to use git without it. There's a user request that's been sitting around for a while to pull it out into a dedicated application, which I coul

Yeah, all of that stuff is WAY worse over screensharing/calls. Being able to turn your head over to a coworker and say "hey take a look at this" and they take a few steps over to see your monitor is much less of a hassle than
