I'm personally not saying that excuses it, but I've once read that it was an absolutely conscious decision by Apple to put the port where it is. A lot of people tend to simply leave the mouse plugged into a cable when using it, ev

Well yeah, a person getting their SIM swapped is not the same as someone getting scammed. Until it is.

What's silly is this comment, as it has in no way furthered the discussion. It only enables one to feel smug for a hot minute. Surely you're smart enough to infer that "natural causes" are said in contrast to "human

It sounds more like gatekeeping to me rather than being cranky. Not saying you are actively doing so, but I'm not sure RFID and the likes are "easy to teach things". Quite the contrary, actually. So if this motivates some tee

Keep in mind that you're commenting in the thread about the iPhone 15, not the iPhone 15 Pro. With your comment you're comparing the new iPhone 15 with the features of last year's iPhone 14 Pro. The Pro features are always mo

It seems like the person you're responding to has a problem with them selling their data in real-time to 3rd parties, rather than just any Google employee knowing where they are heading.

so r/ich_iel shows up on the current front page? because it's still private[0], and even left a note saying they moved to lemmy. [0] https://www.reddit.com/r/ich_iel/

But they have done neither. They did not build the most popular 3PA features into their native app, nor did they offer to buy them out.

Then what is your definition of a power user?

Fair enough. I've never come across that saying and spend a considerable amount of time online, but I get what you mean. Well, seeing the path many of the big social media players chose, I could imagine that the term enshittification w

Yeah people weren't exactly thrilled about the look of AirPods when they first released. Everyone thought they looked so unflattering. I do agree that the AVP does look too clunky for the general public, but it's not hard to imagi

I'm not a big fan of the word per se but it has been coined to describe the _exact_ concept that's happening here. What would be an established word for it? Deteriorating? Diluted? I'm not an English native, but the internet

It's the same song every time Apple releases a new product. Yes, bits and pieces have been present in a variety of already existing products, but there is simply no one single existing product you could compare this one to. And history

Oh there's none of that. You only see the subreddits you visit or any conglomeration thereof, such as multireddits or simply the frontpage. Unless you're subscribed to r/washingmachines, you'll never see a post from ther

I'm gonna go ahead and say everything. It's faster, no ads, beautifully designed so that it really shines on iOS, you can customize it to no end, ... the list goes on. Check it out on the AppStore if you like (or wait and see how

Different strokes for different folks for sure, but I personally cannot stand the "official" app. It's popular for sure, but mainly because reddit is popular and most people simply opt for the "official" client by d

All good points, especially the one vs many membership to viewers ratio. You're probably right (at least I hope so) that someone will have run the numbers. I guess we will see.

This frustrates me to no end. I haven't encountered the issue of having German audio only, but so often there are no English subtitles and it drives me mad.

I doubt these two scale linearly, otherwise how would they make money? Also, I could imagine that the people that want their comfort show to be running in the background 24/7 are the ones that won't cancel their subscriptions. It&

It's a great show and at times really makes you wish that's how things would have transpired (i.e., we would not have taken a collective ~30 year break from space travel). Fully seconding this recommendation!

HN is certainly one of the last bastions of quality discussions online. On the other hand, having such a high density of people who are probably reasonably intelligent within their subject (which I will broadly define as [Software] Engineer

I don't know much about it so let me ask: is this primarily a software or hardware "issue"? I feel like it wasn't really an issue before the Pro's, and I've been using AirPods since 2016. I may just be misremem

That's what I'm wondering. It's impossible to do anything while on a call without the other side complaining that it sounds like I'm banging cutlery on my pots.
