It’s double tapping your fingers, not the screen. When you are holding something with the other hand.

“In the end, they determined that a minimum colony population of 22 agents was ideal to maintain a feasible Mars mining colony over the long-term.”

I’ll probably buy one or two of the lightning usb-c adapters to use for a while to allow charging when travelling without extra cables.

There is a checkbox

Now part of me wants to wait for USB-C. The other part of me knows I have a lightning phone that I’ll be keeping for 3 more years. I feel like maybe lightning would be better until I get a USB-C phone.

Not surprised after the the main VS Mac developer left MS a few months ago.

It’s been explained a few times so I won’t repeat what others have said.

But I actually wish App-Clips were more common. I hate having to download a whole app for a one time payment for some company.

I did finally see one for a car park the other day.

I’ve only ever seen one when I’ve been pretty close to the merchant.

This is just a coincidence and not an ad. You happen to be very near that location. As I say I’ve only ever seen one when I’ve been within meters of a merchant that had one. I assume it’s Bluetooth range.

Only to remove a small ad. And as it’s a podcast player, you listen, and don’t really see the Ad ever.

Not surprising. It’s not as if companies only start on the next version once the current one is out. Things like this need planning years in advance. I think I heard on the ATP podcast that Apple are already planning and working on what the M7 will be.

Just because they are testing the M4/M5 doesn’t mean it’s ready, or can be fabricated at scale for an acceptable cost just yet.

When Apple want to, they can design amazing things. So I look forward to see if they come up with a clever Apple-like way to do this. Or maybe they just make it easier to remove the back.

Hopefully this becomes standard. Looks like Apple were looking into it too

All Apple devices run variants of the same software, so of course they have a consistent UI.

It’s a desktop OS, the same as Windows and Linux.

I’m not sure what you expected, can you elaborate?

I’ve started to upgrade when iOS updates stop. As the cost of devices goes up, I just keep them longer so the cost per year is about the same.

10 years of support. Not bad.

Just install Linux on it (if this is what she wants, regardless of if you think it’s better) or find a M1 MacBook Air for 7-800 if she wants a Mac.

I have a 2012 laptop, and upgraded to the M1 Air. Using the old machine is painful now, I didn’t realise how slow it was.

10-11yrs from a laptop is pretty great. I wouldn’t call it planned obsolescence.

I have the original SE, it’s still amazing. I do kinda wish I had the AOD though.

Oh I own that, but haven’t used it in years. I’ll give it another go

I’ve been using Wipr, but the cookie notice blocking is breaking quite a few sites now

As others have pointed out:

1. It’s still pretty early. Many devs might not be very far along.
2. There aren’t many locations. You have to travel to California, London, etc

Oh I agree. I guess my points was not to rely on parental controls, and also generally know when it’s time to say it’s been enough screen time for the day.

Yes. Which is why I posted what I posted.
