Apple

I’ve submitted at least 8 bug reports to them since Oct 2023 (and also many suggestions) through their feedback app. No response to any of them until now. The only closed bugs I closed myself because the problem went away in an update.

I’m pretty sure they don’t have any bug triager whatsoever.

I’ll keep doing it out of spite and because it’s what I do for open-source as well, but I’m really not sure if it has any effect at all.

How about GNU M4 + Make (output)?

(to be clear this is a joke suggestion. but yes it is what I legitimately use)

I’d trust a chinese vehicle over a Tesla any day.

my right index finger expects a shutter button to be located near the top right corner. But the center of Camera Control is 2 inches (5 cm) from the corner.

Oooh, I just know that’s going to massively bother me too. 5cm is a lot. I’d have to try it myself but it already sounds uncomfortable.

Here’s a demo one that works on rooted Android: https://github.com/Hirohumi/RustyRcs/

(Also iOS 18+ Messages lol)

It’s not RCS’s fault Google locks down the API on their OS.

No it’s not. Get the spec here: https://www.gsma.com/solutions-and-impact/technologies/networks/rcs/universal-profile/#download

No it’s not. Get the standard here: https://www.gsma.com/solutions-and-impact/technologies/networks/rcs/universal-profile/

Don’t use passwords for public SSH in the first place. Disable password authentication and use pubkeys.

It’s very funny you say MOV and HEIC are proprietary and then list MP4 considering

• HEIC is just H.265, the video codec, used to encode images
• H.264, the codec used for most mp4 files has the same license as H.265 with patent bullshit license fees going on
• MP4 container is pretty similar to MOV, and is also not an open standard
• this also means MOV and MP4 can be losslessly converted
• Apple provides documentation for MOV format free of charge while ISO really wants you to pay to get official standard PDF
• All this doesn’t matter anyway because ffmpeg can decode everything (though I guess it might matter in bizarro land where software patents are a thing)

Also Android can totally read at least HEIC images. Not sure about MOV. Any of this is also not related to the problem the OP has.

Not an app, but one thing I can recommend that is pretty much “for free” is to turn on iCloud Advanced Data Protection, that gets you end-to-end encryption for pretty much all iCloud storage (photos and so on).

Everything else I would recommend is probably not going to happen (such as deleting Discord) or of questionable benefits (such as using the web version of Discord instead of what is probably the app) :^)

Looking it up, seems like it’s something you will only find on original UNIX. So probably nothing you have to worry about in reality tbh.

Registrars (or DNS providers if you don’t use the one that comes with your registrar) worth using have an API to manage DNS entries. That’s basically all there is to DynDNS.

Keep in mind that some killall implementations do not take arguments and instead literally kills all processes. You might want to use pkill instead.

Are they implying the police are accountable for anything?

They all should, they’re relatively recent phones and at least one of them I’ve sent MMS images to and the other one is on the same carrier as me.

Maybe group chats is just something carriers in Germany don’t support. Nobody in their right mind here sends MMS anyway, it still costs 36 cents or so to send one, for me at least. Pretty much a straight up scam.

How can you even do mixed Android/iOS groups right now from iOS? I keep seeing people refer to that, but before I installed the iOS 18 Beta that added RCS, I tried and non-iMessage “group chats” were essentially just a broadcast list where the recipients just saw it as coming from me.

Oh nice, I think that’s one I didn’t come across, and it does look like what I want! I’ll keep it in mind for when Freeform isn’t enough. Thanks!

What are the “2 all-day events”?

Tap on it to find out (if this wasn’t an image). I assume there’s a fixed one row of space for an all-day event there. That’s definitely on purpose, considering they even have a toggle switch to completely hide all-day events. Sure, it could be two or up to two elements but that comes at the cost of the detail on the timeline below. They probably considered the timeline to be more important because that changes more often as opposed to the all-day events that only change once per day, and that as a consequence you’re going to check the all-day events once per day (or even just the day before), so you can just tap the widget if you want to see them.

It would be great if it was more customizable in terms of the layout of course, but this is Apple we’re talking about. I’m honestly surprised there’s a toggle switch to completely hide all-day events in the first place.

Why is HALF of the widget wasted white space.

This one’s a timeline, not a list of events unlike the one in your post, and in that time (8-12 today) there are no events, so it’s blank. It’s as much wasted white space as the full calendar view with no events in it.

Personally I have no problem with the calendar widget, but I have to say collapsing today’s all-day events in the list view as in the OP if there’s space left is questionable at best.

It offers no practical benefit to small networks at the moment.

The internet is not a “small network”, and I assume your small network is connected to it. You need local IPv6 routing to have access to IPv6-only hosts which are becoming more and more because it’s reasonable in terms of price to get an IPv6 block unlike IPv4 blocks which are being auctioned for tens of thousands of dollars at this point (!!!).

Also restoring global addressing is a huge benefit. P2P communications in IPv4 has become an insane mess of workarounds due to lack of addresses and this becomes worse the more layers of NAT you stick behind each other to try to save your ass from the rising tide.

I’m really sick of hearing these idiotic excuses over and over, “it’s hard” this, “it’s unsafe” that, “it’s expensive”, “understanding the eldritch secrets of IPv6 has driven 5 of my colleagues into madness” skill issue. THERE ARE NO MORE IPV4 ADDRESSES. So unless your network is so fucked that you haven’t managed to fix it in 26 years, since IPv6 has been standardized, or it really is just an internal network with no outward facing services where it doesn’t matter when someone who just has IPv6 can’t access it because they wouldn’t be able to access it anyway, and you’re not some kind of ISP, you have no reason not to have support for it at this point and you absolutely never have a reason to tell people it’s not “useful” because that is straight up wrong in the general case even if it might be true for your situation.
