Sorry that happened to you. I haven’t had any bad experiences but the right to repair is tantamount so that way you can still repair phones long beyond the time frame the manufacturer arbitrarily decides to support

 

This may be somewhat obvious advice but it makes a huge difference. If your iPhone says the battery is degraded (under 80% battery health) then take it to a repair center and replace the battery. Even if your phone says it’s at “Peak Performance” despite the battery health.

For context, my iPhone 13 mini (purchased at launch in 2021) was at 74% battery health and the battery menu said it was degraded and to seek service despite also saying “Peak Performance Capability”. I could tell because my phone would become hotter than the surface of the sun if I used it for more than 10 minutes. It would also become so slow if trying to use the internet as it struggled to load all the JavaScript and ads and such when loading websites.

I decided to get the battery replaced at the Apple Store (and they decided to replace the screen as well for no additional charge) for a total of $89 before tax. It runs like it is brand new and I could totally see me getting another 3 years out of it.

If anyone is considering buying a new device or just repairing their existing device, I can’t recommend replacing the battery enough. It really made an impact in my experience

Just cut into bite size pieces, toss it in oil, salt and pepper it, put it on a baking sheet and roast at 425 for around 20 minutes. Don’t fry it in a pan. It will be delicious

I can’t wait for twitter’s youtube competitor Xvideos!

Also doesn’t fix the problem at all, I can still just use AI to post to my main account

Pokémon Generation 1 and 2. They story, gameplay, and mechanics are concise and not hand-hold-y, the designs are the ones I grew up with, they can easily be played on a phone emulator and have so many rom hacks that I never will totally experience everything they have to offer

Well put, I think at first as well I felt like the term was a bit immature and used a bit too liberally when it first started picking up steam in 2023.

It really does describe a phenomenon that is becoming so widespread that I’ve softened on it and embraced it (as long as it’s used correctly)

I’m pretty sure that there are serious vulnerabilities in the netcode of the original MW that makes playing it online on PC unsafe. I haven’t ever seen an authoritative source confirm it however the last time I tried to play it online probably 4 years ago. There were all sorts of malicious redirects when trying to join servers from the browser

I will always love United Offensive, it was the first game I ever played online. Modding the game got me into programming and managing servers led me to networking and got me to the career that I have today. I’m not a game pass subscriber but it would great for more people to be able to experience it

Based off the team names this must be the most cursed division of all time. Let us know how the division winner does in the playoffs

Bridgy Fed exists to act as a bridge between AP and ATProto/blue sky if you want to use ATProto from Mastodon. Sadly, though, the bluesky user has to also follow the bridge for you to be able to see their posts from mastodon.

Hog barns or farrowing houses typically don't have high roofs and you can accommodate more pigs in the same amount of space.

It’s more of how things were engineered and for what uses. IE if the barn is also used for hay or equipment storage in addition to accommodating livestock

UBI would have some inflationary effects, but if you stuck it through, it would be less than the UBI payment in the first place.

The problem is getting people to stick to it because unfortunately, for Americans, if you give them $2000 a month in UBI but their purchasing power doesn’t go up by what they perceive as what $2000 is worth; they will punish you in the next election.

I think the expanded child tax credit in 2020 could be a good example to follow for what the roll out of UBI would look like. But we let it expire despite it lifting so many kids out of poverty even if just temporarily and freaked out about inflation so hard that I have my doubts that our American society would ever have the fortitude to be able to implement a permanent UBI

 

Week 14 is the last week of the regular season for most, first round of the playoffs for those with 2 week matchups.

Did you miss the playoffs, needing some help to make them, needing a win and your in, or clinched the first round bye?

Let us know how your squad looks and best of luck to you all in the playoffs

We already had the hall of fame game where we saw Brett Rypien and Collin Johnson ball out. Now we have the full week 1 slate starting tonight.

Some games of interest for me-

Panthers - Patriots to see how Maye does and how their WR room shakes out.

Texans - Steelers to see how Fields does and whether he is a stash to see if he can beat out Russ sooner rather than later

What games are you interested in watching this week. About a month left until Week 1 is here!

W1

 

A really good explanation that I felt deserved to be highlighted.

Afterplay.io now has retroachievements support!

Afterplay.io is a web-based retro gaming emulator with support for SNES, GB, GBC and GBA (Premium includes support for even more consoles including N64, PS1, and DS).

The latest update just added retroacheivements support. As far as I know, it’s the only emulator that supports them on iOS that doesn’t require sideloading.

I’m looking for a recommendation for making gifs on iOS. Preferably one that lets you add text and with the option to remove the watermark with a one time purchase instead of a subscription.

Does this community have any advice? I tried a bunch on the App Store but there’s literally dozens and most of them either don’t let you add text or have like a $20 a minute subscription or obnoxious ads with no option to remove
