When you have fuck all money free apps are very useful!

― lag∞n, Thursday, 2 October 2014 17:47 (nine years ago) link

The Ipad is for my son who has autism and he could potentially click his way through hundreds of these apps without realising the damage which is why I want it jailbroken and with no accounts at all.

ios 8 has family mode where you can require permission to install/change things from someone else. seems useful.

I might have to look at that option for now but at some point I want to install a torrented speech/language app that I already paid over £100 for on his ipad2 + can't afford to pay for again. I don't know why I bother with any app's tbh, I spent weeks filling his Nexus7 with apps + games and aside from a brief fruit ninja spell all he wants to do is pursue his inexhaustible enthusiasm for youtube swimming pool/aquarium/water wheel footage.

no snark: you should start an ilx thread for youtube swimming pool/aquarium/water wheel footage

i imagine you have a pretty good sense of the gradations of quality there now
Why would you have to pay for it again if you already bought it? Newer version?
― ⌘-B (mh), Thursday, 2 October 2014 20:44 (nine years ago) link
xp
This was the last vid he was watching on his Nexus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Olvm9_G3psQ I'd guess there won't be an ILX thread for that!
It was purchased on his Ipad2 years ago which didn't last long. Since then Pc's have died, empires have fallen Idk how the fuck to get it back but I refuse to (and cannot afford too) pay for it again.

if you're still linked to the same itunes account you should be able to download it again for free, no matter the device.

Apple support is fairly helpful on such things if you can identify the account somehow, unless you had two-factor auth turned on

just out of curiosity ... why isn't siri allowed to create contacts or open apps?
― the late great, Friday, 10 October 2014 05:54 (nine years ago) link
cant trust that siri shes up to no good
― lag∞n, Friday, 10 October 2014 05:58 (nine years ago) link
I just opened an app with Siri. Is that new on iOS 8? I have no clue.
― Spirit of Match Game '76 (silby), Friday, 10 October 2014 06:20 (nine years ago) link
oh ok. but she won't create a contact, right?
― the late great, Friday, 10 October 2014 06:25 (nine years ago) link
Opening apps is not new with iOS 8.
― Jeff, Friday, 10 October 2014 11:27 (nine years ago) link
I would like apple to allow more integration between 3rd party apps and Siri. I want to be able to say search and play in Spotify using Siri.
― Jeff, Friday, 10 October 2014 11:28 (nine years ago) link
i wouldnt trust siri to create new contacts for me and find it weird that she even wants to, where is she meeting these people

Hey Siri scared the shit of my wife and I in bed last night. We were talking and I guess said something that my phone thought was Hey Siri and then it started talking to us.
― schwantz, Friday, 10 October 2014 21:35 (nine years ago) link
Tried the Google Play Music app on the iPhone (didn't realize it was free access, like Spotify is now) - this embarasses the shit out of iTunes.
― Nhex, Tuesday, 21 October 2014 19:09 (nine years ago) link
I am angry at Siri right now for not being able to recognize my wife's name.

Yes. I am author Paul Auster.

Kinda pissed at Apple for dropping a bit of functionality in itunes 12: you're no longer able to edit URLs in streaming radio stations. If the station changes its stream URL, you can reimport it as a new item obviously, but stuff like Play Count, Date Added and Last Played are reset.

Get the URL track info script: http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=urltrackinfo
― Elvis Telecom, Wednesday, 22 October 2014 20:04 (nine years ago) link
I gave that a shot, and URL is still not an editable field.

Ios 8.1 has totally fucked my mail. No incoming mail, no notifications.

I kind of like the Gmail app. Search sucks in every other one I've tried.

what why
― lag∞n, Thursday, 23 October 2014 01:57 (nine years ago) link
i am too old for gmail, i try it like once a year and i don't get it
― caek, Thursday, 23 October 2014 01:59 (nine years ago) link
Just don't even use Gmail tbh, Fastmail is not very expensive and isn't run by an ad company.
― Spirit of Match Game '76 (silby), Thursday, 23 October 2014 01:59 (nine years ago) link
i mean i get it, it's just not the way i use email. i am all for one archive folder and nothin but search. but it breaks every desktop client i don't hate.
― caek, Thursday, 23 October 2014 02:00 (nine years ago) link
i use fastmail, it's fine.
the main thing is it's real imap
wtf even is this inbox thing they launched today
this is a company that literally does not understand how humans communicate
― caek, Thursday, 23 October 2014 02:01 (nine years ago) link
