HamsterRage, in TIL Duracell's CR2032 batteries don't immediatley work with AirTags

TIL: Button batteries have a bitter coating.

Binthinkin,

I had the same issue and scrubbed the battery, reinstalled, worked fine.

I work in healthcare, you’d be shocked how common button battery ingestion is in kids. Little dipshits are always trying to kill themselves

Socsa,

Does something like that not just pass right through?

A lot can go wrong, mostly chemical burns or GI obstructions. Since it’s usually little kids that eat them it’s that much easier for it to get lodged somewhere and create problems

    Just a joke, chill out

    Treczoks,

    This probably has already prevented the one or other button battery to be swallowed by a toddler.

    bluemellophone, (edited )

    So do Nintendo Switch game cartridges. They are also small and prone to a toddler making them a snack. You can try this at home, give one a kick lick and you’ll see they aren’t pleasant.

    Edit: kicking or licking toddlers not recommended

    scutiger,

    I’ve heard of that, but either none of my games have this coating, or I’m somehow immune to the taste of it.

    Sharpie,

    Did you buy your copies pre-licked?

    scutiger,

    Maybe there’s someone at the factory licking the cardtridges before sealing the boxes, and I just happen to be getting the pre-licked ones.

    krey,

    lol, rare typo affecting the meaning. Could be interpretet like kicking the toddler 🤣

    Yokozuna,

    I just licked a cartridge and I regret everything.

    Wow I didn’t know they were this bad thanks for sharing.

    merikus, in Apple Community Announcement - Closure and Migration

    Thank you, oh LWAdmin, for cleaning up the Lemmyverse.

    Consolidating communities is an important part of being able to create critical mass for them to work. Appreciate this move.

    That makes sense, the !apple_enthusiast was so much more active

    The announcement will be left pinned for a few weeks to allow current subscribers to migrate over.

    notfromhere, in Managing ripped music across multiple devices

    Jellyfin and Finamp are decent alternatives to others mentioned

    jws_shadotak, in Managing ripped music across multiple devices

    Plex with Plexamp or the default Plex app.

    I believe Plexamp requires a Plex pass but it’s a great app.

    user19575839,

    Another vote for PlexAmp. It’s a great piece of software to roll your own cloud streaming server. I use it all the time with hi res lossless files.

    IphtashuFitz,

    Thanks. I’ll definitely look into this.

    TheRealCharlesEames, in Managing ripped music across multiple devices

    I don’t have the answer but I am curious why you’re avoiding Apple Music

  • fuckwit_mcbumcrumble,

    My biggest issue with Apple Music (and its subscription) is how it will mangle my high quality collection and replace it with songs from different versions of the album or singles, and delete my version and replace it with a DRM version.

    For managing music I’m fine with it. But iTunes Match was a mistake and you can’t turn it off.

    spiffy_spaceman, in M1 MBP 16Gb still future proof

    Got a M1 MB pro (the basic one) so I could write papers and do school work a few years ago. This year, I finally retired my big hackintosh rig for a M2 Max MB pro because I didn’t need a full size computer anymore and it was 10+ years old. Anyway, it’s kind of hard to tell the difference between the two. The M2 certainly does big tasks better, but my son uses the M1 all the time for music composition and it does a fabulous job. If you really need power, get the M2 pro or max, but only if you really need power. Otherwise an M1 will likely be fine. I read countless reviews and tests, and the M2 is supposedly 20%, but the extra GPU is what I went for because I needed 3 monitors (which is still not easy to get working), otherwise I would have saved the money and gone with an M1. Unless you need 3 monitors, then an M1 will be fine for the next 5 years.

    aseriesoftubes, in M1 MBP 16Gb still future proof

    There will come a time, maybe 8-10 years down the road, when Apple stops providing software updates for your M1. In that sense, no, it’s not future proof, but no computer truly is.

    When that time comes, you can install Linux on it and continue to enjoy the laptop. I have two Macs from 2009 that are both happily running Ubuntu.

    muddybulldog, in M1 MBP 16Gb still future proof

    Define future proof.

    WalkableProgrammer,

    Can I get another 4 years out of it as a developer

    muddybulldog,

    If it suffices your needs today, highly likely.

    MadMadBunny, in M1 MBP 16Gb still future proof

    Oh yes. They are beasts!!

    weedwhacking, in M1 MBP 16Gb still future proof

    I absolutely love the form factor of my M2 air, but I don’t think performance is much different than an m1 model

    How to replace the battery in your AirTag

    CR2032 batteries with bitterant coatings might not work with AirTag or other battery-powered products, depending on the alignment of the coating in relation to the battery contacts.

    narc0tic_bird, in Are the speakers on the iPhone 15 Pro improved?

    Felt like it the first time I heard them. I have no clue, but maybe it has something to do with the frame being thinner and made from titanium? I don’t know.
