People on Reddit are saying the battery life on 18.1 is hit or miss. For me, right after I upgraded I noticed that the icons for all my Control Center shortcuts are busted and the hearing accessibility button keeps reappearing even after I remove it.
I regret trying the beta at this time.
They have neither confirmed or denied it being a trans allegory. It depends on how you interpret the response Lilly Wachowski gave in an interview a few years ago:
Continuing on The Matrix, you confirmed a couple years ago that it was a trans allegory —
No, I didn’t.
You didn’t? Tell me more.
Yeah, so that came from an interview I did for Disclosure. They had a bunch of Matrix questions. And the question they asked me was about Switch, who was originally written as a trans character who was male in the real world and female in the matrix. And they took that response and attached the question that everyone now references that it’s a trans allegory. And so it was slightly out of context, but I don’t sit here and put a stink up about it, because it is a trans allegory in that it was written by two closeted trans women. And so all of the things that are in it are super-duper trans. The idea of transformation, even the whole “My name is Neo, Mr. Anderson —” that idea of claiming identity, it’s undeniable.

You can uninstall a lot of Apple’s apps that come preinstalled on an iPhone. Not all of them, but a surprising amount.
I swear Google promised to open up their implementation of RCS to third-party app developers like 5 years ago and it still hasn’t happened.
Yeah, Firefox on iOS lets you add custom search engines
Oh yeah, that one is great one too! Definitely the highlight of the weaker second-half in my opinion.
This movie is such a trip. I unironically love the first half of the skits, up to and including the superhero dating.
Damn I thought I was doing good having the 3 frozen. Good to know that new ones can just sprout up like that.
Someone on Lemmy did a markdown test of all existing Lemmy apps and posted the results. Raccoon was one of the worst performers, and after seeing the results the dev went nuclear.
Here’s a comment on the original post talking about it. I think the thread’s OP ended up removing Raccoon from their results but the damage was already done.
It doesn’t fix those already affected. And affected machines require manual intervention, because they cannot boot up to receive any sort of automatic patch.
Acids don’t work as well on the substances that contribute to typical household drain clogs compared to bases, which is what Drano is.
When it enters your drain pipes, the sodium hydroxide reacts with fatty acids and proteins from your typical clogging culprits like oils, grease, soap scum, hair, and food particles.
This reaction generates heat, breaks large molecules into smaller ones, and liquefies solid gunk. The extremely high pH enables the sodium hydroxide to saponify fatsand dissolve organic matterthrough chemical decomposition.
Acids simply wouldn‘t have the same cleansing effects on drain clogs. Grease and oils are composed of tough-to-break-down fatty acid chains that resist acidic breakdown.
Quoted from here.
If you are cramped for storage space for cleaning supplies, you can buy and hang a shoe cubby on the back of a closet door and use it to store all sorts of things.
There’s different types, such as ones that are actual racks and others that are pockets like this:
Google Fi is a god-tier service for traveling abroad. When I went to South America I paid nothing extra vs my friends who had to deal with Verizon’s ridiculous travel plan fees.
If I need to remember to bring something with me when I go out I’ll put my keys on top of it.
Because people want the latest iPhone or Samsung and paying $ per month works better for them than $$$ upfront. The alternate finance method you speak of isn’t very well known, so it’s most simple to contract with a carrier.
I have a functional version of Windows 95 on my phone now, so that’s neat. XP setup was too slow and I got impatient.
No law prevents a convicted felon from running or winning the office of the presidency. As for the question of self-pardons, that’s something that everyone on both sides would hotly debate as it’s never been tested before. You would think there’s an obvious answer (he can’t) but unfortunately laws get fuzzy at the very top and decisions are usually dictated by historic precedent (which there is none for this scenario in US politics.)
Honestly do yourself a huge favor and don’t watch it. 99.9% of it was disgustingly depressing. Trump’s H2O comment was about the only thing that was funny.
They either changed how the notification works or made it minimal for models with the Dynamic Island. I just tested a simple shortcut to open an app and besides a little blip on the Island it was no different from opening the app normally.
