On what device were you going to install iOS on?

You make a lot of assumptions about me for someone who doesn’t know me.

😒

It was all Xerox if you go back far enough.

I hope I haven't given the impression that I don't take your experience seriously. I only ask questions to understand things better.

Would having the option to use a personal passphrase in lieu of the usual e-id solve your problem entirely, or would further measures be needed?

iOS is fine. I fucking hate apple, but iOS is a baby gate that protects (metaphorically) undeveloped minds from getting into danger...

...he says while leashed to his android phone...

Get a different bank. That is rookie shit.

You too dude. The sun is shining for once so it’s a great day. 😊

My parents.

Not my experience so maybe it depends on the store manager being shady.

I will say it was quite culty though. They had us do a guard of honour for that Mac Pro machine ugh.

In my store all the people on the Genius Bar were just nerds and not really fan boys. The sales staff however many of them were fan boys of Apple.

I meant single point of failure as in, if the service gets interrupted you're locked out of alot of shit you need until it comes back up.

The trade offs may be worth it, because overall that seems pretty useful.

Ah right, that makes sense. If it were like upi or pix, and had single point of failure, it would have been scary.

Could you elaborate please? I'm interested to know.

In the UK? Omg it must be summer, go outside enjoy it before autumn arrives tomorrow. :3

My plan right now is to have an Android phone at home for all the official stuff and just use scrncopy over ssh to get phones from my laptop

Android users acting like their OS is open source while they use their OEM proprietary spice of it

Exception for the rare people using an actually fully FOSS OS

Idk if it’s going to be signed then. If it is and graphene passes at least some layers of the BS Play Integrity API, then it would be perfect

Well it would help, but generally speaking, it's about cognitive load. Making things simple for people is nice for the commoner, but for an eldery or disabled people, it can be vital.

I do. I'm your daddy.

You could call once in a while you know? Mum is worried about you

That’s known. Siri data is kept for improving the models through human labeling. It’s not like it was hidden, just read the damn privacy policy.

If that’s your magical source as an insider, I’m sorry, but you’re bullshitting. That didn’t prove anything you said too

It’s not spying as it wasn’t their goal. It sure is shit, but you can’t compare that to the stuff Microslop and Google do

I meant more if you have knowledge about something that wasn't publicly known. This was 7 years ago and got btfo'd, hence the article about the firings you posted. Also everyone I know turns off Siri because it is useless.

That's not the problem. With the false positive they were hearing people during everyday interactions. I remember my colleague bothered by the fact they were hearing people having sex, talking about drugs, all the while with personal information written on screen.

Do you want some guy in Apple headquarter hears some random snippet of your life because you pronounced the word "Shiny" and the model messed up?

They got btfo'd and then 1 months later they hired the same people through some other contractors to do the exact same thing. I knew them well.

what does iOS have to do with this, did you mean macOS?

iOS and Windows are not for the same use case, many people use both

iOS is the iphone OS, which is extremely locked down

macOS (Apple's desktop OS) is something completely different (although probably with similar internals)

I disabled that voice activation feature for this exact reason, but yea, what’s shitty is that people had not been clearly informed at all

My father’s been dead for years.

He killed himself minutes after he shot my mother.

Tomorrow? We can get all four seasons in a day 😂.

on my laptop yk

Really?

Sorry about that, just wanted to pull your legs

You are correct. But with a good number of people shifting from using traditional format computers to just their smartphones, there is a kernel of truth in the statement. Perhaps you sit at a desk and stare at spreadsheets or terminals to write code. I think this causes a certain bias among the tech cognisante in believing that everyone still owns a computer-- and many people still do. But there is a very great number of people that no longer own a traditional computer and don't even want/can't afford one. And many of them just own an iPhone for their basic everyday needs.

What I find scary that when I spent 4 years teaching math at my local school, many couldn't use a mouse when faced with traditional computing tasks. And I needed to spend a class period teaching them how. If it doesn't have touch screen they didn't want to use it.

Even more confusing that it is written in all caps like the OS of the Nintendo Wii.

I was at headquarters. Cool if you had a good experience, im not saying workers are bad and we all have bills to pay. But the company itself. I'd rather not work for them ever again nor use their shit.

what is this @UwU_Underground thing i keep hearing about and how does one gain access to such a privileged esteemed group

That's just intellectually lazy, like not wanting to use a flight joystick or a ddr mat. Touch isn't superior in all ways, it's just a different way. For example, with a mouse, it's wildly physically efficient, you can just rest your arm and wrist on the table and barely move and get tons of stuff done, quickly and PRECISELY, and virtually never get tired.

What age group(s) were the kids you were teaching? Were they gen alpha?

Explain

Hahaha, who the fuck cares? Will Apple sue me if I write it wrong? Wait a minute...

I literally don't know the difference.

Is iOS to Android as Windows is to Mac?

iOS is Apple's operating system for phones and tablets, MacOS is Apple's OS for desktops and laptops.

People are so hateful towards Windows these days. I hated Windows when it was “good”, but don’t anymore because I don’t use it or actively check on what changes Microsoft make, it’s kinda surprising that the hate became so mainstream and I only learn from media on why that is the case.

Oh I use Linux on my computer, phone is a different story.

Yeah, I've noticed that the elderly here tend to opt for physical bus cards rather than using the app, and I often help them with bus times since all the signage has been phased out. I really think there ought to be more accessibility laws; it's not good for anyone if people are losing their independence.

I'm not familiar with those and would be interested to learn what's bad about them.

It's a pain in the ass if you don't have access for whatever reason, yeah. A lot of that could be alleviated by government policies though. I don't think it should be legal for public services to refer you to their website or app when you're asking for help in-person. There's also no laws against businesses refusing cash, and the banks keep removing ATMs, so it's getting harder to manage without relying on a phone. I like e-ID, but I don't like removing traditional human interaction. Kind of like how I love 5G cellphones and hate that they keep removing services like landlines and 2G. Low-tech is vital sometimes.

Many of the elderly don't know how to use their phones well, but most (from my experience, not actual data) can use BankID without issue because it's simple to use. Before BankID they used much fussier code-based authenticators, so I think most people old enough to remember that are happy for modern convenience.

But a lot of web- and app-based services are less accessible for them. Finding out the bus times, navigating health services, and paying bills are often not available through traditional low-tech means. They also have the problem of not understanding why their old phone suddenly doesn't work anymore. (They just took down the 2G network, for instance, and BankID no longer supports Android 9 and lower, if I'm remembering the right version.)

On most public transport nowadays it's impossible to buy a ticket while boarding, but there isn't so much as an automated ticket machine anywhere anymore. There are very nice customer service centers at central stations, but that doesn't help the people trying to get to the central station.

There are a lot of problems, but I don't think BankID is causing the most egregious ones. It's a problem if you can't access online banking because you can't use the software to log in, but it's even more of a problem if you don't have the alternative of physical banking because society is cashless. It should be made more possible to live without digital services and smartphones even though I personally enjoy them.

9-year-olds through 13-year-olds. So gen whatever we're up to these days.

You need to understand that they start with iPads as young as 5 and use those until they are about 11 years old. And by 5th or 6th grade they get a smartphone. All touchscreen all the time. By 6th grade they get a Chromebook with a touch screen and touchpad. So by the time I needed them to use mouse, they not only had never used one, but a shocking number had ever seen one in real life, there was always one or two. That ain't their fault. They quickly learn how to use one, but that didn't mean they liked using one. They had spent short their life just not needing one. And for no small number of them, they won't need one or ever need one unless they have a job that requires its use. It's like if I handed you a space mouse and was upset you didn't already know how to use it and program it. You probably don't spend a good portion of your days at work using 3D CAD to design tooling up to complete manufacturing lines.

We get hung up on tech in this space and are shocked and surprised when we run into people that not only don't share our love of tech, but really don't much care. They got what works for them and don't want anything more.

For me the last golden era of Windows was around 2019 when they were making a lot of changes that helped out devs like WSL 1 and 2 and the new terminal. I guess I should've air quotesed golden era because even Windows 10 had ads built in. Prior to that it was 7 but that might just be rose tinted goggles.

That's part of the humor to me. The iOS user chiming into a conversation they didn't need to be a part of.

I take ONE DAY away from this gods-forsaken website...
