Even my bank is emailing me telling me to apply this latest security update, which is weird. I wonder if it’s important. On the other hand, it’s a _reboot_ ew

I had to install multiple times. Third time was the charm. And then it rebooted several times.

The latter is normal, there’s often a firmware update followed by an installer boot followed by booting the new OS.

a while back i bought an lg external optical drive to use and tried to attach it to my macbook air via the official apple usb-a to usb-c adapter and...it did not work at all, the drive just clicked and blinked its light and did nothing else. unsurprisingly, lg and apple had nothing useful to say about this anywhere, even a stupid faq would have been nice. BUT, i recently got a $30 usb-c hub w/ various ports and thought to try that with the optical drive, and now it works fine! so i hate apple and lg and that usb-c adapter is trash, but if you're having this problem maybe try some sort of less-direct connection, idk

my android phone on does that as well, but doesn't take into account that the podcast I've been listening to for an hour was recorded really quietly and is inaudible below 90% volume
― koogs, Sunday, 4 September 2022 01:47 (one year ago) link
mine doesn’t take into account the fact that my headphones are shitty and barely drive any volume to my ears so i have to crank them.

I had the battery in my xs replaced by apple two months ago and the max capacity is already down to 93 pct. That’s some bullshit right there

I like most of the iOS 16 stuff, but now every time you delete a text message it asks you if you want to report it as junk. So all the 2fa texts I get and delete everyday I have that extra tap to say no I don’t want to report this as junk.
― Jeff, Wednesday, 14 September 2022 00:52 (one year ago) link
I installed iOS 16 for no good reason and I can report zero perceivable difference apart from a bolder non-Helvetica font for the lock screen time. At least it's not sucking down the battery.

I would have upgraded to the new iPhone if Apple had changed it to a USB-C port. Thanks, Steve Jobs.

iOS 16's big deal for me is being able to copy/paste text out of a video. Every conference video, PowerPoint deck, etc. is suddenly and amazingly useful now.
― Elvis Telecom, Wednesday, 14 September 2022 07:12 (one year ago) link
I do use that a lot from photos and unselectable text on webpages, since whenever it came in (iOS 15?). But I wish you could do it from a screenshot as soon as you take one, rather than having to save it to Photos first then get it from there.
― Alba, Wednesday, 14 September 2022 07:25 (one year ago) link
Yes - also I wish you could do it on a Mac? Maybe you can but I haven’t figured out how

Coming in macOS Ventura next month.
― Elvis Telecom, Wednesday, 14 September 2022 08:41 (one year ago) link
I bought a Mac app called Picatext to do it. Maybe I bought it when I was in the US though, as it now tells me it's not available to buy in my region.
― Alba, Wednesday, 14 September 2022 08:43 (one year ago) link
Good news about Ventura, Elvis - thank you. Though it'll probably be ages before it'll be installed on my work Mac.
― Alba, Wednesday, 14 September 2022 08:45 (one year ago) link
I have a minor irritation that notifications are now relegated to the bottom of the Lock Screen where they can be easily missed.
― Luna Schlosser, Wednesday, 14 September 2022 09:33 (one year ago) link
i think picatext got sherlocked and they gave up?

Just updated to 16 and added calendar and weather widgets to the lock screen. The two left-aligned widgets under the center-aligned date and time, it bothers me.
― death generator (lukas), Wednesday, 14 September 2022 16:45 (one year ago) link
The restrictions on the widget positioning seem really unnecessary, open up the grid you babies

Big album art is back on the lockscreen, so I’m happy.

what??? oh shit i gotta upgrade then
― Nhex, Thursday, 15 September 2022 02:32 (one year ago) link
Yes but it toggles back to tiny artwork if you nudge the screen Sigh
― calstars, Thursday, 15 September 2022 05:51 (one year ago) link
Ok that stupid ass photo cutout feature was worth the upgrade alone, wasting too much time on this

I absolutely understand the unfortunate need for warnings about AirTags and AirPods being used for nefarious purposes, but HOLY SHIT Apple I do not need three days of notifications about my wife's AirPods every time we have them with us on a car ride.

here's something i hate about apple: by winnowing out the headphone jack, they have made it socially acceptable (at least in my big city) for people who can't afford airpods to just use the onboard phone speakers. so everywhere you go, people are blaring tiktoks and youtube videos and voicemails and whatever. the train is more of a nightmare than usual and i blame fucking apple.

was waiting for that argument. The difference is that the playing of your youtube/tiktok/voicemail isn't a transgressive act on the subway these days; it's become generally accepted (if loathed) from grandmothers, children, hipsters, explicit assholes and distracted deliverypeople alike. everybody's doing it!

Dude, just put in your own AirPods with noise canceling so you don’t hear the noise of the poor.

Heh. The thing that worries me is that it does show the read almost dead battery icon that is supposed to mean it is charging, but only when I hit the start button, otherwise it goes to black again.
― Ride On Proserpina (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 29 September 2022 11:43 (one year ago) link
If I disconnect then I see the cable thingy telling me to plug it in again but then back to black. All of which says to me that it is trying to recharge but not succeeding.
