Collections is exactly what I’d love to see added to lemmy. Especially if the collections has the ability to filter out posts cross posed to different communities.

Tesla: people really like that you can just order a car online and not have to deal with slimey sales tactics. What can we do to fuck even that up too?

He was responsible for the figurative nosedive my boss’ previous company did. Now he’s responsible for the literal nosedive of Boeing.

This man is a professional company ruiner, not just a scape goat.

That sounds like the institution’s fault not Apple’s.

Institutions have been unloading machines with bios passwords for eons, it’s nothing really new other than it’s much harder to bypass it.

Activation locks are to deter theft, which they’re incredibly good at.

The problem is devices still made LONG after 4G came out with 2 or 3G. My friends 2016 Hyundai has 2G for its blue link service that now doesn’t work. My 2018 Outback uses 3G for its Starlink system, but I ripped that box out long ago.

They make over the ear bluetooth headphones too.

What I hate is that the alternative that they’re switching to is RCS, which puts control of your texting in the hands of your carrier. iMessage is great because you don’t need a phone number, I can send texts to my moms iPad even though she doesn’t have an iPhone.

I moved on to Airpods shortly after they came out and honestly I have had 0 desire to use wired headphones with a phone. The Airpods pro sound great for earbuds.

If I want a real super high quality audio experience I’d use a dedicated DAC and AMP because the ones in phones have never been amazing. Plus if I’m out and about there’s probably too much background noise to even appreciate good headphones.

“Photoshopping” something bad existed for a long time at this point.AI generated images doesn’t really change anything other then the entire photo being fake instead of just a small section.

Because of the security update part of things.

From the article:

The USB hub issue may be related to the USB security prompts that Apple introduced in macOS 13 Ventura

14.4 wasn’t that major of an update, it was mostly the security updates.

It’s the bottom that’s the problem. You can read the first paragraph or two just fine.

The archive link is also behind the wall.

Is there a specific list I need to enable? Because I have UBO and it’s showing me the subscribe to read the full article thing.

How old is your machine? If it’s new enough to run windows 11 then it probably also supports modern standby (aka S0 standby). When plugged in during “sleep” it’s actually on, and should be doing the updates for you.

That said my work laptop only gets used during work hours and it almost always gets it’s updates done while I’m doing stuff throughout the day, and it just needs a quick reboot to finish.

I think every old Ranger is begging to be put out of it’s misery. Those cars were piles of shit when new, and even bigger piles of shit now that they’re old.

The mic needs active power. If you ignore the mic a simple pig tail adapter works without cutting up your cars cabling.
