  1. Electric toothbrush. When I don’t have it with me, brushing manually is such a chore. A device performs better than I do and I embrace it.

  2. Prescription glasses. I remember getting to look at a tree with improved sight, and it was wonderful.

  3. Air purifier. Has really helped my allergies.

Definitely, we use the Imperial system after all.

I read this with Morgan Freeman voice and thoroughly enjoyed it.

I switched earlier this year.

Shortcuts app:

  • Shortcuts has Tasker vibes. You can do a lot with it, especially automation.
  • Lmk if you’re a Google Home user. You can setup Shortcuts so that Siri passes on commands to Google Assistant.
  • You can even customize the Action button to run a Shortcut. I’ve got mine to check if it’s connected to my home WiFi, then toggle bedroom lights; if connected to work WiFi, then… etc.
  • Take advantage of Focus modes (Work, Sleep, etc.) because Shortcuts can use that as a condition.

Apple TV: Ted Lasso is worth watching.

3rd party apps worth mentioning:

  • QuickScan. Completely free, with optional donations. Create multipage OCR’d PDFs with your camera.
  • ~~Brave~~ Vivaldi browser mainly for ad-free YouTube.
  • Paperback if you read manga, manhwa, etc.

Lemmy apps: Voyager is the most frequently updated and smoothest, but it lacks some QoL features that I enjoy in other apps, such as Thunder. Give all of them a try.

Sleep alarm with gradually increasing volume: you need to use the 1st party Health app to set up your nightly alarm.

Additional settings:

  • Back Tap. You can customize double tap and triple tap with a limited set of actions.
  • Reachability. Top of the screen temporarily shifts down.
  • Haptic Touch. Set to Fast so that long presses don’t take so long to activate.

I remember my first time seeing someone use a Jabra bluetooth ear piece. 2003 in a college dorm, a girl was walking back and forth but her phone was probably in her hoodie. I was bewildered, wondering why she was talking aloud to herself.

It’s been a while for me but I’m guessing that’s the banking character for 七

8th grade. A girl tells me in the presence of classmates, “I love youuuu.” I just think it’s a joke/prank so I reply, “I’m too young!” Later she privately asks me if I meant that. It didn’t click for me until high school.

Fresh out of an all-boys high school, so no interaction with girls since 8th grade. Freshman year college, fall semester. Classmate says she’s cold and hooks her arm in mine on the walk to lecture. This happens every day. Another classmate asks if we’re dating, and I say no, she’s just cold.

Same semester, same class, in a lab section, it’s warm. I ask my lab partner (different from arm girl) doesn’t she feel hot, why not take off her sweater. She looks at my and says, “I’m not wearing anything underneath.” Next day in lecture she’s dresssd up really nice and sits next to me.

Every day in this lecture these 3 girls sit with me. My high school buddy who’s also in the class tells me, while we’re studying, he thinks it’s hilarious that I’m surrounded by girls. I shrug it off.

It’s obscene for two lions to mate, but it’s biblical for Lot’s daughters to get him drunk and sleep with him to preserve the family line. Ok.

Have you seen or read about the 15 Pro/Max being more fragile? Some commenters suggest that the more rigid titanium chassis makes the glass more susceptible to cracking.

I've never bought AC+ or any sort of insurance for my phones, only a case, but I'm getting uncomfortable..

Are any of you case users actually worried? I'd estimate that I drop my phone a handful of times each year onto bedroom carpet or bathroom tile, usually from waist height.

 

Watching Ted Lasso right now, and all these characters that are working on their MacBook: when they get texted, they pick up their iPhones and read and reply there. Missed opportunities to show off Continuity. Show the phone notification, and then show the MacBook. I love responding on my MacBook. Or is it not that common?

I clicked just to see. You're absolutely right.
