I think I would still stick to the current form factor. Repairability and comfort are of greater concern to me at this stage in my life than pocketability.

Oh I I have no idea if overcast will improve your battery life, I just like it. I think the UI is intuitive and the smart speed feature is amazing for talk shows.

I got a visa to travel to China as a tourist in 2016. They charged a high price but gave me a 10-year visa. It’s still active. My passport will expire before that visa does.

Shhhhhh!!!

Not saying this is a fix, but for people with small hands such as myself, swiping down on the switcher bar at the bottom of the screen pulls the whole upper half of the screen down to keyboard level. It’s called “reachability” and was introduced back when Apple started selling massive phones. It’s an extra step, so not ideal in frequent usage, but if you can’t afford to fumble around with your phone to tap a button on the top, it helps.

I dislike how inconsistent or broken scrolling can be for third party mice. And the lack of customization options for extra buttons.

I don’t use the podcast app (I use Overcast), but if this were happening, I’d check if it’s downloading a bunch of new podcasts in the background or something and see if there’s a setting to limit that.

Yes! If you have a full screen app open with stage manager active on your primary desktop, swiping between the full screen app and the desktop basically becomes a game of app roulette.

I was going to mention this if nobody else had. Easily the thing that makes me angriest most frequently on my iPhone is its behavior when trying to type out and edit longer comments. I honestly don’t know what’s going on when it starts acting funky, but the more time I spend, the weirder it gets. Sometimes I’ll try to place the cursor and it will select a word on a completely different line (it just happened when typing this up that I selected a word in the latest line of this comment and it selected the very first “I” at the top and started overwriting it). Sometimes when I try to change or retype a word, autocorrect suggests the new word mashed together with the old word. When a comment gets too long, the screen bumps up to the top of the page after every new word is added so it’s almost impossible to see what I’m typing. I don’t know if it’s the iPhone, the browser, or the webpage, but it’s a terrible experience.

Then sometimes it’s perfectly fine.

Having a secure and comfortable, well-paying job with health benefits before I die.

Sigh…

Wait… people are still trick or treating??

On an iPhone 12 Mini, I wasn’t able to see the options for the “how would you rate” questions until I held my phone horizontally. Just sharing that now in case it affects anyone else.

I really want to know what he and his guests would have had to say.

Actually, the reinstall fixed it! I went into the settings and found an option that allowed me to export my custom emulation/controller profiles and game data, so I was also able to keep all of that intact. Thank you.

Thanks for the reply. I’ll try uninstalling and reinstalling the app later. I was reluctant to try because I’m worried what might happen to my custom game settings.

I really got into the foundation series by Isaac Asimov.

I think the best way to fight fake news is to ensure people know how to recognize, verify, and respond to it. That’s already more work than most people are willing to put into it, but I don’t think it would hurt if someone with the know-how put together a simple tutorial thread and got it stickied to the whole instance somehow.

Unless of course he doesn’t want people without credit cards on the platform anymore. I doubt they matter much to him, and perhaps he wants X to exist for the privileged only.

I’m glad you brought this up. I imagine true AI would be able to take information and actually surmise original ideas from it. LLMs simply state what is already known using natural language. A human is still necessary if any new discoveries are expected to be made with that information.

To answer OP’s question, the only thing that concerns me about “the rise of AI” is that people are convincing themselves it’s actual AI and then assuming it can make serious decisions on their behalf.

I imagine there will eventually be businesses that aggregate data specifically to sell to LLM businesses. Like photostock but with a bunch of LLM conversational stuff.
