Probably makes sense they announced the app locking feature at the same time.

ji17br ,

They mentioned in their keynote they will have ways for third part companies to verify their claims of privacy. How this will look I am not sure, but it’s a good step.

ji17br ,

The phone is, Apple isn’t. They outline everything in the keynote if you are interested.

ji17br ,

Don’t tell me you think aspartame will kill him.

ji17br ,

It’s more like a phone that slightly slower, or a phone that will randomly turn off. Pretty sure everyone would want the first.

ji17br ,

I believe that was for incorrectly done 3rd party repairs. I believe they did add it to release notes that nobody reads, but essentially you are correct. They got sued not for slowing the phones down, but for not being transparent about it.

ji17br ,

It had nothing to do with the capacity of the battery. It had to do with providing instantaneous high current when doing something demanding. Old batteries couldn’t do this and voltage would drop to unsustainable levels causing a brown out/black out.

ji17br ,

But it’s NOT a capacity problem. The phone would turn off and then turn back on. The batteries still had power.

It’s funny you say I am less technical when I describe the exact technical reason for a shutdown. You just keep saying the same thing.

It’s a chemical aging issue with batteries. As they age they cannot provide the same amount of current at the same charge level.

Current draw is not even close to steady, there are lots of spikes. It’s the spike that is a problem.

If you had a new battery that had say 500mAh of charge remaining the issue wouldn’t happen. If you had an old battery with 2000mAh of charge remaining it’s very possible the issue happens.

Hopefully this is a simple way to describe to you that capacity does not matter. It’s all about current.

ji17br ,

I’m done explaining. You’re still wrong. I understand max capacity is voltage*current but that literally does not matter. Study some electrical engineering and then get back to me.

ji17br ,

I think it’s more about using shitty batteries. Some 3rd party shops will buy the cheapest batteries in order to get a cheaper fee/make more money. From experience the cheap batteries are horrible and don’t anywhere near the performance of a quality battery.

Brave man recommending anything Apple around these parts.

Spotify is raising the cost of Premium subscriptions, again (www.engadget.com)

Spotify is officially raising its Premium subscription rates in the US come July, following reports of the move in April. The platform is increasing its Individual plan from $11 to $12 monthly and its Duo plan from $15 to $17 monthly — the same jump as last year’s $1 and $2 price hikes, respectively. However, its Family plan...

ji17br ,

They also payout about 2.5X what Spotify does to artists.

ji17br ,

You’re only robbing yourself if you go cash only. $1 will be worth less tomorrow than it is today.

ji17br ,

If a user can open their baking app, and this app can sense that and open instead, then that is 100% an Android issue. That behaviour shouldn’t be possible.

ji17br ,

If that actually happens money is literally just paper at that point.

The $1 in my account actually grows. Sorry you don’t understand basic finance.

ji17br ,

Damn dude. You really have no clue. You lend the bank your money. They can use that money to lend to others. They give you some of the profit.

If you deposited money in a bank, and they told you it’s now their money and you own nothing, then you didn’t deposit money in a bank.

You are clearly leaving out important details. Banks can’t just take your money.

The fact that it seems to have happened multiple times to you is extremely suspicious.

ji17br ,

Again, I believe you are leaving out key details. They didn’t just take your money.

My assumption is that you didn’t understand how banking fees work and overdrafted your account or something. Perhaps got a credit card and only made minimum payments, which essentially just covers the interest.

I hate leaf blowers with the passion of 1000 suns.

Everywhere I am there is a guy running a leaf blower. At my house, leaf blowers everywhere all day long. At work, of course, leaf blowers blowing dirt and allergens into the air. It’s such a special noise, it goes through walls and headphones so effectively. They are the most pervasive, annoying things on the planet. I hate...

ji17br ,

Just wait until you see people clearing snow with a leaf blower, cause they are too lazy to shovel. It’s ridiculous.

Best Buy Membership "discount" (lemmy.world)

So I was shopping with my wife today and I said “oh let’s see if my membership helps out.” So we went and added the same item to each of our carts, and to our surprise, the total was the same! So what is it exactly that I’m paying for in this membership if the items “original price” is higher for me than it is for...

ji17br ,

And free shipping. I think he would have been charged for delivery on the non-member order. Probably why he didn’t add it.

Unless the item he is buying is one of the “exclusive offers”, then I don’t really see the issue.

ji17br ,

That’s not what’s happening.

ji17br ,

You’re absolutely spot on. Unfortunately no one here is willing to accept it.

ji17br ,

At no point was he defending scammers. This is insane.

ji17br ,

Allowing someone to play a game in which the rules and odds are clear and up front, is not a scam. Full stop.

ji17br ,

Yes. He’s asking a question? Why is an online casino bad?

If the casino follows all rules and regulations, then that is not bad.

If talking about sites that steal your money and don’t pay out when you “win”, then yes, that is bad, and a scam. But that’s not an online casino…that’s a scam. And also incredibly rare.

An online casino can make a shit ton of money by just following the rules. Why would they need to break the rules?

ji17br ,

Excellent. You have no idea what you’re talking about :)

ji17br ,

Gotta upvote the dude

ji17br ,

Ok I normally hate puns on peoples names, but Enron Musk is hilarious

ji17br ,

Better be careful, you might accidentally fall out of a helicopter.

ji17br ,

Wow 24 years and still under 300k? Impressive

ji17br ,

I once got 5/12 double eggs in a normal ass carton. Still my greatest achievement.

ji17br ,

Feels better than the normal carton 😉

ji17br ,

I dislike the AI push as much as the next guy, but you are totally right. Pro-AI comments don’t do well around these parts. It’s crazy that people are denying it.

There needs to be a way to only get one push notification for every new message in a group chat

I dont know about others, but sometimes I am not able to check my phone, or be fully present in a conversation that I’m part of. Maybe I’m concentrating on work, or driving, and not able to look. It gets distracting when my phone is constantly buzzing and chiming for 5 minutes straight. Muting the chat can help, but if you...

ji17br ,

If you’re on iOS setting up profiles would work. I have work, driving, and do not disturb. Each one allowing/blocking specific notifications

ji17br ,

If you don’t like being disturbed while driving you should use do not disturb while driving.

ji17br ,

If someone spends all of their credit limit just because it’s there, there is no one to blame but that person.

ji17br ,

They could easily just get a wifi camera for cheap. I don’t think this business owner is interested in doing things the right way.

iPad Pro with M4 chip boasts impressive performance jump compared to just-released M3 MacBook Air (9to5mac.com)

On raw performance might, the M4 really does live up to Apple’s promises, should deliver. Single core is up about 20% compared to all M3 chips and more than 40% compared to M2. The generational computational leap from the previous M2 iPad Pro is at least a 42% jump on single-core and multi-core.

ji17br ,

It’s not a waste at all. The extra computing power allows them to get much better performance than previous model OR the same performance with half the power use. That’s pretty important in a mobile device.

ji17br ,

But capacitors aren’t batteries. Batteries store chemical energy. Capacitors store electrical potential energy. Electronically they behave much differently.

ji17br ,

I’ve only ever heard it called jive

ji17br ,

If everyone I’ve ever heard use the word thinks it’s jive, at what point does that become correct? Isn’t that how language works?

ji17br ,

MacBook Pros are 100Wh as well. Battery life is incredible.

ji17br ,

Ah so just the 16” is 100Wh then. Makes sense, more room.

ji17br ,

Technically they make orders of magnitude more because the money they bring in is orders of magnitude more

ji17br ,

I’m not an expert but I believe the fuel is hydrogen. Hydrogen atoms fuse together to produce helium + energy

ji17br ,

Highlight the tracks, command+c, paste into numbers, and then print it.

Was my first idea and it works, took about 5 seconds.

ji17br ,

It’s in the title, the justice department said that. There’s no way they are a monopoly.
