I would assume they’re not but that’s because I notice that depending on who makes what shoe depends on what size I have. I also see this in pants and shorts for men as well. I just assume nothing is actually standardized due to QA never really catching things.

Yeah, nice catch!

Satellite radio doesn’t require your phone to have solid signal. Going out into the boonies? As long as you can see the sky you’re chance of losing radio is almost none. I used to love having satellite radio until I started working from home. Now I have almost everything I want on a downloaded playlist to my phone.

It wasn’t software though. It was an immobilizer chip, which is hardware, that they didn’t put in the car. They cheaped out on a part, sure, but it wasn’t faulty nor was it software.

I feel like being remote for 4 years is no longer about the pandemic. It’s become a new standard and by showing financial harm by coming into the office I feel you might have a better case. Example being car insurance. My insurance went down as my car is now a “personal vehicle” vs a “commuter car”

I’m just giving anecdotal evidence, just like you gave 🤷‍♂️ I’m not promoting one way of communicating vs another.

Crazy, most people use SMS with Messenger as the go to for big groups for me (in USA). No one I know uses WhatsApp

I get about a weeks battery out of my Punkt, but I don’t use it for much besides the occasional text or call. I suspect if I used it more I’d wager I’d get 4 days out of it.

I think they’re questioning what exactly you mean with your initial post.

Apple has a default share option of “Save to Files” where you can navigate where you want it saved. The default location is definitely application specific though.

It’s also helpful if you’re on a specific diet and can see the breakdown. Example being putting on muscle, you’re supposed to eat 1.2g per lb you weigh to help gain muscle mass (obviously while doing the required work).

Police are class traitors

Also they have weird behind the scenes integrations into accounts even if they are just supposed to be regular 2FA. You can read stories about Twitch not playing well with other 2FA until 30 days after you remove Authy. I don’t want those kind of shadow integrations and I should be allowed to switch apps as I see fit

With the amount of companies requiring you to fill out applications online, emails being the main method of communication before a phone interview, and the amount of people doing virtual interviews; I would say it absolutely is a necessity to not just fitting into a modern society, but being a part of one.

As someone who started with Android, went to iOS, back to Android, and stayed with iOS I feel like you’re not trying to understand why some people choose an iPhone. I personally chose it because of the incredible battery life.

Skip the rest of this if you don’t want to hear a rambling mess of my phone history. There is a bit at the end regarding prices and why I own what I own now.

I had an HTC Desire, Samsung Galaxy S2, HTC One M7, Sony Xperia Z1, iPhone 7, Nexus 6P, iPhone X, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 15.

I’ve rooted a bunch of the early Android phones, loved having removable batteries and having expandable storage. As the platform evolved and started following Apple’s lead on design decisions (no removable batteries, no expandable storage, etc.) I was wondering why I was still with Android. After having a the Xperia I noticed that the battery didn’t last as long as it used to and if I remember right (possibly not, a bit tipsy) the Xperia was advertised as having a very long battery but it didn’t last very long past a year or so (was getting less than a full day and having to charge when I was driving home). I also had how slow Sony was to get OS upgrades it I decided to try a new phone. At the time I cared more about the battery and the iPhone 7 was my next try. It was amazing, I didn’t actually enable iMessage because I hated the bubble bs that I heard about. Eventually the 6p was announced and I missed the freedom of android and decided to give it a try. This was the generation where Android started cracking down on rooting and the battery life was awful. I eventually went full in on iOS after that and here we are. I miss what Android was, I do sometimes miss the tinkering but I also don’t hate how things normally just work.

Now in regards to cost, the name brands for Android phones are around the same price. They usually promise 2-3 years of updates while currently Apple had a history of supporting phones for 4-5 years.

I understand you can get lower range phones for cheaper but I guess I’m not into the phone scene like I used to because I guess I assume the lower range phones aren’t getting the updates that the flagships are and I don’t want to have to either compromise security or shell out more money to get another phone. So for me, I’m typically buying around a $1000 phone but after 3 years I can trade in my phone for a decent amount of money off the new one, or sell it for even more and pay a mid range Android prices for a new iPhone. Or if I’m not feeling the upgrades are worth it I’ll just stick with my phone for the 5 years+ (only went to iPhone 15 to get USB-C and remove lightning from my place).

Also don’t discount the 40-50 crowd with kids still in high school age. I know someone extremely smart for our org who likes in person. I don’t know if it’s a break from the family, seeing different faces, being used to the way things were in the past, or the fact they’re in a slightly more isolated role now.

I say all this to say there are probably some who want the office culture but we (our team) tries to ensure we have a social event once a month where we all “clock out” a couple hours early and go hang out. They are also not trying to push everyone to go back to the office and respects most people do enjoy WFH. Just trying to give another perspective on some people who enjoy the office (not me though, fucking love pooping in my own toilet and using lunch to do what I want).

Be the change you want to see. Make RES for Lemmy?

That’s a great question. I would assume so since the whole point would be to strip out odd encodings. I don’t have to do it often enough saved in going to assume that option will depend on the program/OS and if it supports it.

Kinda related, I always copy paste into a “simple” text editor before I copy paste into something else. Slack is so bad about having hidden characters I don’t even want to think what other sites/programs do.
