Loading my own profile in both apps and on lemm.ee has been painfully slow since the 0.19 update, is anyone having a similar issue?

Individuals involved in developing new Apple Watch models told Gurman that the existing band system takes up a large amount of space that could be better utilized for bigger batteries or other internal components. As such, Apple is apparently considering a magnetic band attachment system, but it is currently unclear if this specific method will be present on the ‌‌Apple Watch X‌ or if the company will choose something else‌.

The company announced on Monday that it is beginning to switch its user accounts to ActivityPub, which means that everyone curating stuff on Flipboard is now doing so in a way that apps like Mastodon can see and interact with.

Adam Mosseri:

Second, threads posted by me and a few members of the Threads team will be available on other fediverse platforms like Mastodon starting this week. This test is a small but meaningful step towards making Threads interoperable with other apps using ActivityPub — we’re committed to doing this so that people can find community and engage with the content most relevant to them, no matter what app they use.

Might be a small change, but it’s my favorite iOS 17.2 feature. I use the playback control frequently and this saves me one tap every time.

TL;DR: Meta is beta testing advanced AI features on Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses. Beta testers in the US can opt-in for early access to features like camera aided visual translation/summarization of text and asking any questions related to the image or topic within a certain period of time. Meta plans to make it available to everyone next year.

I was a big fan of having the same bullet points to answer in grid diary, any way to replicate that in journal? There doesn’t seem to be a shortcut action for journal and I couldn’t find a way to customize the reflection cards.

She said the robbers were bold taking her husband’s phone, but then giving it back because it wasn’t to their liking.

“They basically looked at that phone and was like ‘Oh, that’s an Android? We don’t want this. I thought it was an iPhone,’” she said.

Amazon is adding full-screen video ads that will play when you start your Fire TV unless you quickly perform an action on it. […] “Our focus is on delivering an immersive experience so customers can enjoy their favorite TV shows and movies, as well as browse and discover more content they’ll want to watch. We’re always working to make the Fire TV experience better for customers and have updated one of the prominent placements in the UI to play a short content preview if no other action is taken by a customer upon turning on their Fire TV.” Amazon said in a statement to Cord Cutters News.

Sure, that’s definitely a feature for customers. Especially the fact that you can only click it away in the first few seconds. I also love to have my ads be immersive. Biggest pile of bullshit I’ve heard this week.

That guy already had more than enough compensation with that hoodie and the office tour they gave him.

There’s just way too many articles being posted where at best the headline only implies something that isn’t actually true and at worst just plainly lies.

The funny thing is, even the article itself is often already correcting the headline, but I can’t imagine that more than 10% are actually reading every one, which means there’s a constant stream of misinformation being broadcasted. Not every one of these has high stakes, but still.

Here’s two examples that I just came across:

And because people are only reading the title, they upvote and move on. Even though the comments set it straight as well. There’s a lot more that I’ve come across. It’s infuriating.

I‘m sure it’s not as simple, but my first take on this was: Europe doesn’t invest in EVs, but China does. They start to loose the Chinese market and are about to loose their own market to China as well. Then politics steps in to "rescue" their own companies but all that does is shelter them from the pressure to adapt and evolve, and in the end they’re beyond hope and left in the dust while the advanced Chinese cars dominate everything.

Countering subsidies with import taxes is a different story ofc. But it certainly feels like the European car industry is in decline and it’s probably their own fault. If not in Europe most certainly in China.

I should add that I have no idea what I’m talking about here, so feel free to tell me where I’m wrong.

TL;DR: The European Commission is launching an anti-subsidy investigation into Chinese electric vehicle makers, potentially leading to higher import duties. This move aims to protect Europe's auto industry and address concerns of dependency on China. If Chinese EVs are found to have an unfair advantage due to subsidies, it could impact their growth in Europe and lead to retaliatory measures. The investigation reflects growing geopolitical tensions and could influence the global EV market. (via ChatGPT)

As always, the headline is misleading clickbait.

The article itself says that a charger (which was already gone last year) is no longer included and staff should show customers where to find them. They should also let them know that "USB-C means the new devices cannot be charged with existing Lightning chargers".

Nothing newsworthy if you ask me.

Being called "backwards" by the head of the catholic church is quite something

[-] fer0n@lemm.ee 38 points 1 year ago

Did that also apply to electric cars? Or were you allowed to plug it in yourself

[-] fer0n@lemm.ee 36 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I’m not a car person, so excuse my lack of knowledge. But do electric cars have/need cooling liquid? Just wondering

That must’ve been one of the most useless regulations. Is that just about jobs? I can’t really imagine it being a security risk issue or any other reason

What’s everyone’s experience so far? Mine:

  • haptics are nice
  • status bar tap is very welcome
  • the back swipe issues seems to be a bit better, but not entirely solved
  • browser appear animation is really nice
  • the scroll hiccups seem to be also better, but also not entirely gone (short time of being inactive, but it then works without me waiting a second)
  • nav bar icons are still spikey (I’m probably the only one looking that closely at it, but I was hoping that might be fixed with the native version)
