The focus mode ui is another bugbear - how scattered the ui is for this.

I can alter it from the bottom middle of the notification shade once set, but I can’t enable it from there - why?

At least put a line with date and time at the bottom of the notification shade so I don’t have to roll it all the way down.

Also, I’ve set triple back tap to turn on the flash… well, it only works (inconsistently) when the phone is unlocked. Why?

In iOS how hard it is to glance the time and date while watching a full screen video.

I’m also the signal guy amongst my friends and family. There are dozens of us!

I think a possibility is a series of open source anvil or nixos scripts that you can run on most hardware with minimal changes, in an extendable architecture of some kind to add or remove functionality and they perhaps get maintained by the community or some structure of the kind of Linux distributions.

This could enable people with minimal skills set up and maintain a reasonably useful but secure environment just by changing a few variables.

Can find great deals for 2yo second hand high tier phones

Black Panther.

It had so much hype in the media, i was so excited to watch it. It turned out to be rather boring and forgettable.

I’ll believe AI can replace engineers when I see NVIDIA firing them. But like the graphic says, the manager’s job seems a lot easier to replace instead.

More than that, most peanut butter has a lot of hydrogenated vegetable fats which are likely much worse than a bit of sugar.

If the package doesn’t have a tablespoon of peanut oil or so pooling at the top when you first open it, that you then need to mix it in, it’s hydrogenated.

Perhaps this was written much earlier than v5.

How about: I’m sorry to hear that, are you holding up ok?

All business models are aimed at company profitability. Customer satisfaction is an expensive early necessity which you can largely do away with as you become entrenched.

“my fellow scholars”

I’m assuming it’s aimed at people trying to avoid tying the hosting IP to the publicly consumable service.

The problem is that most of us have swallowed the ‘competence uber alles’ ideal that school fed us through exams and scoring, when the game really is mostly politics (as in interpersonal relationships). So we are understandably disappointed when the incompetent get promoted through brown nosing or luck, when we should be reevaluating the rules of the game.

Triple funny that this can be a “then let them eat cake” joke where they’re giving worse than useless advice from an irrelevant perspective.

Considering a 50% divorce rate and an unknown % of people remaining because they feel stuck, (i’d guestimate another 25% at least) the modern, societal imposition of a happy lifelong partnership feels like a manufactured ideal to prop up the marriage industry.

“What you call love was invented by guys like me to sell nylons” was not far off the mark for a tv show.

No worries.

For those who were wondering:

On the security updates:

Yes they’ll provide some security updates for some time even out of contract. No time frame given, only in relative release numbers:

Our naming convention for releases is: <major>.<minor>.<patch>.

Version -2 of currently released minor version goes EOL. The cadence is not explicitly provided

On not renewing or renewing later:

Yes, jump in any time.

Can I update every second or third year? Will the previous versions receive security updates?

That and the gender separation is exaggerated by smaller families. Often a lot of people will only interact extensively with their mother or father as a member of the opposite sex, rarely anyone around their own age.
