I was an efficiency whore while working management at a big software company.
It sucked in some very specific ways. I didn’t even realize the impact until after I left that environment.
There were some good things from corporate America, too, but they didn’t bring real ultimate power happiness.
Apple urges developers to not use DeviceCheck for anything beyond basic device verification, and if you’re a developer that’s also misusing it, then you should definitely cease that—there are probably more reliable ways to check whether it’s the same user trying to access an account from a device or not.
I don’t think I care about not being able to erase the device ID. It seems useful to have this, actually, for back-tracing if need be.
Snapchat probs shouldn’t use the DeviceCheck services improperly. But hey, that’s just like my opinion, man.
More, not very interesting, info on DeviceCheck services here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicecheck
My thoughts exactly. I gain almost nothing with this design change, as compared to keeping the current or similar-to “bar” form and folding out from there.
I’m starting to have visions of Zoolander and his ridiculously small cell phone…
Came here to say this. If you do a 360, you turned around twice.
They might miss out on the convenience of AirPlay, though. AFAIK you cant do DLNA streaming to the Apple TV.
AirPlay really bridges the gaps for me, wrt having any app available on my tv at any time.
Combined with steam connect, it’s a decent multi use box with solid, non-intrusive updates. Just wish the garden wasn’t so unnecessarily walled.
I’ve just started a Zulip POC and it’s been decent so far. Definitely resembles Discord.
Nah, it’s actually pretty dope. Scrub daddy, scrub mommy, and the scrub wand — I’m all in, baby.
Legit, the scrub daddy franchise is a lesson in great “KISS” product design.
Gah, I miss those days. I had a personal video on YouTube from the early days. Something or another flagged it — probably the audio I used for the cheap “credits” I put in — and the video went away.
More recently, grandmas birthday video. It got taken down a year later, likely because I had short, edited clips of Peanuts included. 🙄
Oh, and you mean Justin.tv.
Same reason a remote control is handy for a TV — convenience.
Motion or presence sensing. Timers. Virtual buttons. Physical buttons in places I wouldn’t normally have them. Garage door opening automagically when I pull in the driveway with a specific vehicle. Etc.
Plus I get to check in on my kitty from far away.
OP — Plex is a step easier, as Plex brokers the connection. No reverse proxy. The same plus in this case can also be seen as a minus.
I’m still on the Plex bus, and it’s good for me and friends. Jellyfin will get there one day, but right now it’s just not quite feature complete enough for my use cases.
This echo chamber gets LOUD, too!
Similar boat. I’m still on the Plex train, but otherwise I share the same story and recommendation.
Imagine it? Living it.
It’s these types of moves that get me workin’ my way out of an ecosystem. I’ve already been strongly considering not-a-Mac as my next laptop.
It was always weird when I’d add WordArt and it had an extra finger in it.
I made the move from gsuite to Zoho mail, and wish I hadn’t.
I notice incoming mail delays several times a year. Support hasn’t been super helpful on that or other issues — I ask to provide or review logs and I get a run around.
Their support of exchange active sync is half baked in my experience, too.
As a pro, it’s reasonably priced and the native interface is ok. You can trial them for free, but don’t expect to catch all the cons in that period.
This dude hasn’t wrapped with the good shit. Serious creases. No unexpected rips. Scissors glide smoothly for the cut.
Spend a few extra bucks and be a wrap god.
I prefer to dice and soak in cold water first to get rid of that excess starch. Saving cook time is a win for me.
Sure, here are three of my subs:
I’m not an expert, so take this as far as you’d like — reading has real benefits to our brains such as improving vocabulary, improving critical thinking skills, and improving focus. I don’t think short form videos give us the same brain benefits.
Here’s an article from Piedmont health on the benefits of reading. I haven’t seen such an article for short form videos, but am open to it if there is one.
