won’t pass 25w

Reminded of what looked to be a great deal on USB-C cables from a major manufacturer (Anker I think).

Fine print: not for MacBook Pro yaddayadda! Yeah the things can’t hang for it. Gotta spend way more.

I wonder what the best cable labeling solution is for new cables purchased with known specs. Bet a handful of well-resourced geeks do their own printing right on them.

Terrible news for all my USB-C cables less than 2 & 1/2 inches long!

:) yeah good point & thanks for the pic

Europeans from which country get upset when they hear their fellow countrypeople speak English poorly?

Was it Germans, because there’s compulsory English education in schools?

Can you start breathing deeply and count to ten on your fingers / quietly announce “I’m counting breaths” partway through? Maybe motion for them to join…

Perhaps with friends at least

Music brought a black man and a Klan member together. That kinda thing happened hundreds of times.

It’s too tall an order for almost any mortal. Want to believe it’s true, though, and not impossible.

I can almost taste the six seconds the flavor added to that will last!

Five minutes of microplastics or a blink of flavor? Answer might just be no gum :(

Ah yes!

Mille Bornes, French for a thousand milestones, referring to the distance markers on many French roads, is a French designer card game.”

Play here but I remembered a better color version that was more modern

10g more than likely 10k typo (perhaps more brain than body/finger typo, there a word for that?)

Oh, “thinko

Super popular at US music festivals.

And San Francisco and presumably most other nightclubs. This is a big one! Anecdotally—too frequent.

Super simple on iOS—double hyphen!

Ah ‘94-‘96

Users of eWorld were often referred to as "ePeople."

When you tap the Share icon—to open a dead link on an Archival website, to strip a YouTube link of the si tracking parameter, to Force Select All on a webpage—you see your iOS/Siri Shortcuts listed at the bottom.

As I should have known, re-arranging them is simple. No need to scroll to the bottom, edit actions, add to favorites, and drag around—unless they really are favorites.

No, instead, just open the Shortcuts app, tap Share Sheet, and re-arrange there. DUH!!!

Rubbing anti-contaminate gel all over each other… all right all right

But more importantly, and I’ll have to make a new post, this show has held up so incredibly well. Absolute blast watching it.

 

I want to translate the news that people in Iran are reading. I found a source that works but this state news agency website will not load for me:

I’ve tried multiple methods:

But no English speakers report any problems online?

Bode Ioiô (c. 1915 – 1931) was a celebrated goat who became a folk figure in the Brazilian city of Fortaleza during the early 20th century, particularly in the 1920s. Originally brought to the city by drought migrants, he gained fame for wandering the city center, frequenting bohemian circles, and eventually becoming the subject of a protest vote where he was unofficially "elected" city councilman in 1922. After his death, Ioiô was taxidermied and displayed at the Museu do Ceará. He became a cultural icon of the region.

 

Feeling blessed and thinking about folks who operate a “hardware store” in Kibera, Africa’s largest slum:

(As I recall, they’d recover rusty screws and bent nails from the pig manure-laden ditches; watched a YouTube video years ago.)

Or less interestingly for some, maybe your experience vs. the top 100 elites’. Though for many of us that gap might not seem too notable (if I can choose where to apply/work, choose what to eat, choose leisure activities, etc., who cares about zero or fifty yachts at that point—not losing sleep).

Monaco (people who care about) Yacht(s) Show:

Yes, the images focus on wealth, but I’m thinking about the freedom and the power, or lack thereof. Perhaps y’all have read good books on this subject. Closing with the Oxford English Dictionary definition of agency:

Action, capacity to act. - Ability or capacity to act or exert power; active working or operation; action, activity. 1606–

 

Ever experienced the beauty of Lemmy automagically refreshing when a new comment is posted?

It just came to mind how many duplicative comments that feature has prevented.

Thanks for this small quality of life boost, and since it might be my only post like this for a while, thank you to all those making this place work 🙇‍♂️ you’re either bringing your IQ or EQ here (or more likely both), keep it up!

 

It would save not one but two entire taps! Think of the milliseconds!

Especially when posting images, it’s nice to confirm you are indeed posting a meme and not a screenshot of your tax returns. And formatting can always get messed up once in a blue moon.

So, the existing flow is to write your comment/post, tap the three dots, tap preview, review your comment/post, tap done, and tap post.

The new flow would be to enable “preview by default“ in settings once. Then, write your comment/post, tap preview, review your comment/post, and tap post.

 

Or can try restarting both devices, of course, or signing out of your Apple Account (iCloud) on both devices.

If you found this via Google as intended, welcome! (Apparently this is now the one page on the public web with this exact AirPlay error message written out verbatim.)

 

Issue present for the past week or two on the latest and previous latest iOS versions. Likely unreliable to reproduce, but just experienced it here:

I tapped on the GIF, swiped down (… or up?) to close it, and the GIF zoomed in. From that point it’s difficult to close the GIF with one finger, but zooming out with two fingers works fine.
