If there’s a more active community it could be a good idea to have the community locked but have a thread redirecting visitors to the other community to help the one that’s still alive grow.

Sure, but to lot of traditional gamers that means as much as saying reality TV is one of the most profitable shows to someone who doesn’t like reality TV.

I think the biggest argument against headphone jack taking up space is the existence of the Samsung Ultra with the Spen. Samsung has an excuse for the Ultra not having a headphone jack with the space dedicated to the Spen. But, most phones don’t have a built in stylus, so what’s the excuse for them. Not like phones have gotten tinier. How is the spen a technological possibility, but headphone is being made to be some technological difficultly that is more difficult to overcome?

Never had those problems of the phones with headphone jacks I’ve used. Feels like an exaggeration of problems being made like an infomercial.

Not like people really can these days. Options get even narrower if people start putting in settings they need like good software support and unlockable bootloader. Despite the many options there isn’t really a phone that doesn’t have some sort of concession to it despite the increasing price points.

Yeah, one of things that stood out was how much Apple tries to push signing into account too. And compared to Linux doesn’t seem like you can use their App store without logging in on MacOS compared to Linux App Store.

That’s nice thing about rss too. With Feeder on Android it has blocking filters to apply the same keyword based filters. Useful if you have a broad rss source that pulls from various sources and find some sources useless. And there’s categories you can set to separate things out so there’s like tech news, game news, international news, economy, etc. And with compact view it looks like a traditional social media subscription feed, and I find myself actually reading the articles with the comments not being the draw with none to begin with.

I found rss has been the best way to stay up to date over user curated articles that itself has its own biases in what they choose to submit. Just seeing the list of news from even one source without some voting or submission based algorithm at play kind of showed how much people submit the most clickbait or attention grabbing articles to try to get karma. Especially some instances depending on how politically driven they are to push their agenda to everyone. So rss has seemed preferable for a very broad look to see what’s going on with current events. Has been the best delivery system I’ve found on the internet so far with more a time of published based feed than a curated algorithm of social media.

I moved to RSS for overall news, so it’s helped to not have to be so careful with keyword based blocklists and keyword based community blocklists. I think that’s been one of the better things to come from this reddit event where I’ve moved towards rss over social media driven news posting.

Connect for lemmy instance block has been helpful. Helps clean up communities in one go if you find you don’t like a majority of the communities from an instance and they seem too active populating /c/all and hurting discovery of communities you might be interested in from during a quick browse.

Fediverse isn’t active or big enough to sustain subscribed like reddit. Some communities just die out too, so new is a way to discover new communities of interest.

Yeah, but even the charging process seems so inelegant and crude visually compared to like the magnetic apple pencil charging. It’s surprising it’s an Apple design, since magnetic charging or some dock or mouse pad to have an excuse to up charge the product seems more the Apple way. Like if it didn’t have the Apple logo I would never have guess it was an Apple designed product, but a knock off.

If they want to use it wired all the time then that’s their choice, since then wireless must not be a strong selling point for them.

If any other mouse manufacturer came out with that bottom charge approach it’d be considered a dumb design.

Not to mention other wireless mouses have had docks or charging pads for years, so still a dumb design and all I hear are excuses for it.

Still dumb design, since my mouse I can use wired as it charges without interruption.

The fact that it even needs excuses like go fill up a glass of water as you wait shows why.

I wonder if that suggests that hardware made prior to that data doesn’t suffer from the same flaws? Or if it’s just an arbitrary cut off they decided on for the affected customers they would include in the lawsuit.

The complaint is seeking class-action certification on behalf of people who bought a 500GB, 1TB, 2TB, or 4TB SanDisk Extreme Pro, SanDisk Extreme, or Western Digital My Passport SSD that was “designed, manufactured, distributed, promoted and/or sold” since January 2023.

Looks like this is for people who’ve purchased the drives since January 2023. So does it not affect people from before?

I hate when these type of articles never directly list the apps that were removed.

Don’t go pros have replaceable batteries too and get used in like the ocean?

Apple does love to take designs that makes their devices enter the realm of disposable tech. Like soldering storage and ram on their MacOS running devices in the name of speed, but one that is not noticeable to the average user. And decreases peoples ability to upgrade it to use even longer like they did the older macs.

So fighting against replaceable batteries seems along the line for them.

Yep, people were able to upgrade their old macbooks 2011 with 16 gigs of ram and pop in a SSD which led delaying it ending up in a landfill sooner. Imagine if those old Macbooks had gone with the philosophy of non upgradeable storage and ram like the current shift of modern day tech.

Reminds me of Black Mirror White Christmas episode. I could use that feature.
