FCKGW posted:Update: Mask unlock also works if you’re drinking a can of soda It has happened a few times when I was not wearing a mask (unlocked the phone without a mask on but it popped up on my telling me that my iPhone was unlocked). I am guessing that, due to mask varieties, it is very loose on what it recognizes as a mask.

Nostalgia4Dogges posted:I've used a lot of beats headphones and I gotta say fellas, don't sleep on the beats flex. You can get them for $40, used to be just about triple that for the beats x I love mine. They’re not like, the absolute best on the market by any means but they have the easy pairing and the price isn’t super steep. Would buy again.

I bought a refurbished pair of Samsung Galaxy Buds to replace my essentially-dead AirPods and was surprised to see how compatible they are with iPhone. They're essentially the same thing as the first gen AirPods, except in-ear like the AirPods Pro, and the contact points for touch controls sucks. The battery life is impossibly huge. I'll continue to buy cheap as long as we can continue to count on the batteries in stuff like this to only last 2 or 3 years at most.

Yeah, I have the last gen of the Sony noise canceling headphones and my biggest complaint is that I have to re-pair them every time I want to use them with my TV instead of my laptop.

$40 new on amazon doesn't seem like much of a premium when the cheapest bluetooth earbuds that aren't absolute dogshit are like $30

https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2021/05/03/folding-iphone-with-8-inch-screen-coming-in-2023-top-apple-analyst-predicts.html I’m still not sold on foldable screen technology, but I’ll withhold judgement till we see what Apple does with it.

I think the only upside to an Apple foldable is that they won't sell it to us until it's actually a usable product, unlike all the PR disasters that have come to market so far. Even then, I have no doubts it's going to be a big deal but I sure as poo poo won't be buying the first gen.

apple actually has a tablet software ecosystem so if it really is just an iphone that turns into an ipad mini when you unfold it, it could be dope. hopefully they can figure out how to make the screen not fragile and lovely

They also only last a certain number of folds. You’ll likely be buying a new one in two years if it makes it that long.

There was a macOS update today that had some webkit security fixes. There's probably also something similar in the iOS update too.

Bigger battery to begin with and AC will cover battery issues down the line. Course I barely use them lately so not sure if I'll even get to that point in the warranty period...

Yep, was just going to come post that. Punch that software update button and get 14.5.1 to patch some possibly-actively-exploited 0-days in Webkit.

Hey I don’t suppose y’all could help me out with a weird tech thing could you? I picked up a Roku Ultra just to mirror my phone display to the TV. Literally the only reason. Unfortunately, my phone refuses to actually see the Roku when trying to screen mirror. It’s available for casting in Youtube and whatnot, but mirroring is absolutely no go and I don’t know why. I’m aware that an Apple TV would probably turn this into a seamless experience, but I didn’t want one. I’ve been using Roku for like ten years and have no interest in switching. Obviously if I absolutely have to I will. But this makes no sense. I want to blame my router since it’s a lovely combo gateway, but I’ve tried all the obvious stuff and am not sure how to troubleshoot this from here. Roku support was less than useless.

What version OS is the ultra running? Needs to be 9.4 or higher if it’s not been updated

I looked and googled, so assume it’s a no, but is there anyway to limit the announce text messages to contacts only? Or better yet, blacklist certain ones? I receive many text messages a day notifying me about electric outages (I work for the utility) and would love to not have SIRI recite those to me, but REALLY enjoy the feature for REAL messages. Edge case with no solution?

If you want to limit to just your Contacts, then select All Contacts for Siri Announce. Unknown senders are ignored. If you want to filter more, the best I can find is putting the people you want to be able to alert you into the "Favorites" group. https://9to5mac.com/2019/06/13/announce-messages-with-siri/ quote:The All Contacts option means Siri reads out messages from everyone who is listed in your address book. This means texts from unknown senders are not read out — so this may be a way of avoiding spam messages from being read out to you.
