Unfortunately, no force touch on my model. I'm left handed and used to swiping right (it used to not matter which direction), so it sucks for me... learning to swipe left now on all notifications to open the app.

Err, used to swiping left with my left thumb to open, now to swipe right. You get what I mean.

If you use assistive touch, can you avoid the home button altogether? Don't you have to press the home button to 'wake' the phone from standby?

You can press the power button on the top instead.

And with iOS 10 and a 6S or later you can set it to wake when you pick up the phone.

I am using a 5S still so it's no wonder it's taking forever to load the camera :( I'm planning on upgrading to the 7 but I'm locked into AT&T (bcz family plan), want an unlocked Verizon phone (bcz it supports more cellular bands), but don't want to pay for it all up front, and there is no way to do the payment plan w/ a diff carrier's phone

I really only want to stop them telling me to update to a new iOS several times a day and using 1mb of my iCloud (which I pay for) to "hold" an update that I do not want. Since I do pay for it I should have the choice.

verizon stores are never helpful with repairs, you need to find a freestanding repair guy or deal with the genius bar

do you think it is worth repairing or should i just find a used phone elsewhere? (obv i don't want to pay full retail price for a new phone)

i took my 2013 macbook pro to genius bar a few months ago bc it wouldn't turn on and the repair fee was actually a really good deal, it was $200 or something and they would fix/replace anything that was damaged and it turned out they essentially replaced almost all the parts so it totally beat having to buy a new laptop
― marcos, Monday, 31 October 2016 15:11 (seven years ago) link
I've been at a genius bar quite a lot recently and it seemed like 90% of the people were there for iPhone repairs, mostly broken screens, but they're doing great business so I can't imagine it's bank-breaking labor.

seems like the sort of person they'd want to retain in a sinecure even if they didn't want to actually work on AppleScript anymore. :\

Automator always seemed like it would be great but I just never got it. It was neither pointy-clicky enough nor scriptable enough, but some netherworld in between.
― joygoat, Thursday, 17 November 2016 16:03 (seven years ago) link
It's not Automator that I'm worried about, it's all of AppleScript. I'm heavily dependent on it - especially in iTunes.
― Elvis Telecom, Friday, 18 November 2016 00:13 (seven years ago) link
I haven't delved into the newer stuff enough, but the really obvious long-term plan would be - Surface all of the app functionality currently available to AppleScript via a better API. As far as I know, all of that stuff currently requires the use of an Objective C NSAppleScript/NSAppleScriptTask object, even from Swift, which is garbage. - Make all the scripting hooks accessible natively, including granted security (I don't think macOS has app-specific granting of permissions like iOS, but I might be wrong). Getting that security model in place is necessary and really is part of the huge iOS feature to macOS feature backport that is kind of happening in that iOS, while really limited in some ways, is a better modern OS - Document the Siri functionality and make the common actions available to the automation API

I've been playing with Workflow on iOS and it can do a lot of things I didn't think possible on iOS, but it's still incredibly limited compared with Automator/AppleScript. But the same model would be great for Automator-style actions. Not the in-app window positioning and the like, not really without an interface to dig down into deeper granular actions. The basic stuff would work really well if the above happened, though.
I thought sending a music file from inside the Music app was completely impossible but in about ten seconds I created a Workflow workflow (hmm naming needs work here) that sent the currently playing song to Dropbox
― mh 😏, Friday, 18 November 2016 15:52 (seven years ago) link
A somewhat popular theory in the dev community is that Automator/AppleScript will be superseded by similar functionality in Swift Playgrounds. Makes sense really, but sawing that arm off is going to be rough.

the 802.11ac airport router I have is the worst apple wireless product I've had, out of like... five? I think it has something to do with a device connected via IPv6 and it somehow completely sucks at IPv6. You can disable it to manual or link-local mode, but doing so takes a config change and restart and for some reason it locks up every time I attempt a config change -- like I hit save, it restarts, and never comes back
I'm going to try resetting the whole thing, configuring it how I want it, then changing the name back so all the clients reconnect, but not being able to make any changes to the config right now is incredibly irritating. Somehow it still takes software updates without freezing on restart so it's on the newest firmware, sooo... hell if I know.

Interface shit / dongle multiplication is utterly cyclical. Endless diversification into proprietary ports for this and that eventually makes product designers go crazy enough that they decide it's time for one plug to rule them all. The new plug is cool for a couple of years until product designers decide they hate it and its stupid limitations, and it all begins again.

I know this because I once spent five minutes trying to stick the nozzle into my CRV, going what the fuck is the matter with this, before realizing that I had come *this* close to ruining my engine right there in the Kroger parking lot.

Gas nozzles are governed by UL, old school:
https://standardscatalog.ul.com/standards/en/standard_2586a
1.5 This standard does not cover hose nozzle valves for use with diesel, biodiesel, diesel/biodiesel blends, kerosene or fuel oil, which are covered under the Standard for Hose Nozzle Valves for Diesel Fuel, Biodiesel Fuel, Diesel/Biodiesel Blends with Nominal Biodiesel Concentrations up to 20 Percent (B20), Kerosene, and Fuel Oil, UL 2586B.

Optical drive of my 2010 MBP is dying. Bought an Apple USB Superdrive. It then turns out (maybe should have researched that before buying) these only work with MB's that were originally supplied without an optical drive. Found a solution online: MBP recognizes the superdrive. Start ripping some CDs, the second one of which is spit out half way through the process. As is the third. Motherfuckers! Get a cheap Asus the next day, that ugly motherfucker works like a charm. The HATE is building up...

> You can set the stock alarm app to weekdays only
this might be my favourite thing about mobile phones - programmable alarms. did alarm clocks with
a) alarms that you could set at different times for different days + b) multiple alarms on the same day (first one plays a tune, second one 30 minutes later plays tune and vibrates like a mofo, but only on weekdays) c) allowed customisable sounds
even exist before phones came along and made them obsolete?
+ android lets you toggle days so you are not limited to choosing weekends / weekdays, could have mon, wed, fri alarm different from tue and thu if you like.
