eh, you're not missing anything. they just messed up the maps app, removed the system youtube one, and changed some colors here and there

will google maps be a purchasable app?
― jed_, Thursday, 13 September 2012 20:23 (eleven years ago) link
i believe it's already available for free?
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 13 September 2012 20:24 (eleven years ago) link
there is no standalone google maps app yet afaik, but I would bet they will make one.
― ɥɯ ︵ (°□°) (mh), Thursday, 13 September 2012 20:29 (eleven years ago) link
the youtube standalone app points the way for that
wouldn't upgrade my iphone to ios6 for the maps reason but would upgrade my ipad since I don't use that for navigation at all
― vincent black shadow giallo (Edward III), Thursday, 13 September 2012 21:10 (eleven years ago) link
won't update iphone to iOS6 for fear of messing it up but tempted to upgrade my iPad 3 - altho the thing is I use G maps quite a lot on the iPad (esp street view) so would not like to lose that - what are the benefits of iOS6 again?

weird shit
woke up today and my SSD had basically filled up by creating 65 GB of swap files overnight
what could be the culprit?
i did two things out of the ordinary last night:
1) left grand theft auto vice city running all night
2) enabled a new set of junk mail filtering rules on mail.app
i am thinking maybe some memory hooey with GTA?

i wonder what sort of exotic shit was happening in vice city last night
i shut it down as soon as i woke up, maybe the city had filled up with like 1,000,000 residents or something

"Please examine the number 1 placement in the Calendar app's dock icon. It's optically centered and it looks great"
looks like it's on the wonk to me, isn't tilted as much as the page is.

1. podcasts app is kinda dumb and glitchy2. why do people get excited about panoramic photos when there is no good way to view them in their full size?

any word on whether the "1" in battery percentages lines up with the other numbers now? i'd upgrade for that.

question about auto"correct"
suppose i want to type sudafed
spell-checker wants to change it to sedated (not a bad idea)
a little "sedated" shows up under "sudafed" with an "x" to reject the change
is there any way to reject the change without using the trackpad? like a keyboard shortcut?
― the late great, Tuesday, 9 October 2012 17:28 (eleven years ago) link
Esc key, I think.

in iOS, typing a random letter and backspacing it clears the x thing as well

Apparently no one at all has iPhone 5 chargers in stock, and the Lightning-to-oldtyle adapter hasn't been released yet, so if you lose or damage your charging cable you are just plain fucked

Maps+ is good in that it actually uses the Google Maps API. Interface takes a little to get used to, search isn't as smart, and there's no Streetview, but I like that visually traces the walking route, which you don't get with using the mobile browser Google Maps. It's free.

So all the mail in my inboxes keeps disappearing and then re-appearing. I've tried rebuilding the mailboxes, deleting them and re-adding, moving them out of my library folder and re-adding, fixing permissions, and even doing this weird boot-into-utilities and fix something else shit. Anyone run into this and figure out how to fix it?

Locked myself out of my iPhone while walking back from playing a gig t'other night. The phone had a voice memo recording of the gig on it that actually sounded pretty good. Anyway, I got on a bus and repeatedly put the wrong code in over and over and continued to do so until I was sober enough to realise what a plonker I'd been. Now it's locked for good. Is there any way of retrieving the recording of the gig? Not bothered about anything else.
AFAIK getting into the file system requires turning on the WiFi or something similar. My iCloud doesn't back up voice memos.

― caek, Monday, 12 November 2012 14:24 (eleven years ago) link
it's probably not unlocked for good, but unlocking it may involve resetting (i.e. losing the recording), so try that first
― caek, Monday, 12 November 2012 14:25 (eleven years ago) link
I know to get back into the phone I'll have to do a restore, which will mean losing the recording. I don't suppose anyone knows if the apple store people can do any magic?
Anyway, cheers for the link, will try that when I get home. Would be amazing if I can get file system access without having to unlock the phone.
