New (used) iPhone (14), so in comparison to my former iPhone XS Max my screenshots do look different now. Apart from that I‘m happy to have a newer iPhone now – the old one was getting really slow with some of the newer and more demanding apps. Snow and ice are gone, running was easy, but I was tired after working all through yesterday. Nevertheless, Patrick Rothfuss made me enjoy the time. #Running#applewatchultra2#iPhone14
Apple verlängert den kostenlosen Zugang zu «Notruf SOS über Satellit»
Der Dienst «Notruf SOS über Satellit» umfasst zwei Punkte: einerseits das Alarmieren von Notrufdiensten über einen Satelliten, wenn keine Mobilfunk- oder WLAN-Verbindung besteht. Und zum anderen das Teilen des Standortes mit Freunden in der «Wo ist?»-App. Gestartet ist «Notruf SOS über Satellit» mit dem iPhone 14. Seit…
Wow the #ODEONCinemas app / website is shockingly bad!
Haven’t got an email receipt but fortunately have got a screenshot of the QR code. Won’t allow sign ups. Fails with #ApplePay & doesn’t add to apple wallet. Any proper cross-platform testing ever happened? #Firefox#iPhone
#RightToRepair has no cannier, more dedicated adversary than #apple whose most innovative work is dreaming up new ways to sneakily sabotage repair while claiming to be a caring environmental steward, a lie that covers up the mountains of #ewaste that Apple dooms our descendants to wade through.

If you'd like an essay-formatted version of this thread to read or share, here's a link to it on pluralistic.net, my surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker-free blog:
Parts-pairing is bullshit, and Apple are scum for using it, but they're hardly unique. Parts-pairing is at the core of the fuckery of #inkjet#printer companies, who use it to fence out third-party ink, so they can charge $9,600/gallon for ink that pennies to make:
That's right. —With USB 4 just around the corner, and with USB 3 being mainstream, Apple has chosen to provide you with the cheapest and slowest USB ports they could use for your new iPhone.
Being held 1-2 generations behind everyone else does not seem fair. Does it?
It is not just the slower data transfer, that is concerning. Did you know USB 2 also charges slower too? Much slow.
Some of the older models from a few years ago and some of the cheaper, lower end burner phones have USB 2.
You're paying Apple $800 for their latest, newest 2023 model. That's a big difference to settle for older hardware, slower speeds, with slow charging times.
I think you underestimate how people value their time.
I think people's time is important to them. I know my time is important to me, and I doubt I know anyone who does not value their time.
Paying a premium to downgrade your charging time and waste more of your valued time waiting for your phone to charge, does not seem like a worthwhile investment.
It's been a while since an update, so also need to figure out if the new #iPhone14 camera is better / worse / similar to the 13 Pro Max which is my current daily driver. #AppleEvent
