They’ve actually fixed that on iOS. I haven’t tried with Mac OS but it probably actually prompts you to dial now. That said whoever thought it was a good idea to dial immediately should be burned at the stake.

Since OP didn’t link a picture.

I’d argue phone design peaked at the iPhone 13 pro in that amazing blue color. The polished stainless steel feels amazing in the hand. Apple switching to titanium was a mistake. It has sharp edges, but unlike other phones, it felt nice in my hand. Plus it was the first iPhone with mmWave 5g, and the last (in the US) with a physical sim card slot. If only it had USB C I’d still be using it as my main phone. I keep mine around purely because I like to fondle it.

Apple sometimes takes a day to publish them. Kinda annoying.

There is nothing of value in iOS 26. If your device has AI then there’s some things.

In fact I would argue it’s almost universally worse in almost every single way. I wholesale regret updating.

How did you clean it? The schmoo gets jammed in the bottom of the port and after 10 years of insertion cycles it gets really stuck down there. If you can find one get a thumb tack with a really tiny (but still pointy) tip and use that to scrape it out. Do multiple cycles of cleaning, blowing compressed air, inserting/removing cable repeat.

The pins are only on one side of the receptacle so figure out where that is, and keep the metal thumb tack to that side so you don’t short/damage the pins. Also while you’re at it inspect the pins. They should be gold. If they’re brown then maybe the gold coating got wiped out somehow. I destroyed a cable (not the phones end thankfully) by having some water in there and it shorted some of the pins.

They also make kits for cleaning ports. I have a USB C one that looks like an asterisk that I like. The dingus is plastic and soft so you shouldn’t be able to short the pins with it, but it’s not as good at scraping out the really nasty stuff.

Oh also try a stiff plastic bristle brush.

They’ve been shit since they got bought out.

I’ve only bought from them twice since then, and both times have been awful.

with WSL it runs X11, I’m curious if they’ll ever port wayland to WSL. Probably a lot harder to do than X11.

Wonder how they’d feel if people started doing that to their houses? I’m sure Noem would be on the news the very next day condemning those “terrorist threats”

No

Parts in suppressors are consumables. The serial number is on the washer so I assume that’s the part that can’t be replaced.

With the oil filter suppressors only the adapter is the registered part. You can replace the filters as they wear out (which of course is gonna be quick)

Namecheap has random number only xyz domains for like a dollar so I have one of those.

3rd party batteries are rarely dangerous. They usually just kinda suck. They lie about their capacity, they degrade quicker than OEM.

Your battery is at the point where I’d start to consider getting a replacement. Just know that if you sort by price low to high you could get a battery worse than your current one. But buying expensive doesn’t mean you’ll get a good one either. They’re kinda just hit or miss.

Started when I was like 14 but I just didn’t care enough to get the license until 18.

Sometimes people just unecesseraly stretch the content.

That’s what kills me the most. ADHD makes me want to go fast. But I think the tism makes me struggle to figure out wtf they’re saying. It’s a balancing act.

de paywalled.

The OS was kinda buggy, but vista changed a lot with drivers so probably most of the issues vista had were drivers. I bought a laptop with vista on it in 08 and it was rock solid.

Yeah. It’s not that hard.

I just did with that.

Also what are you typing blindly where punctuation actually matters?

I can blindly type with an on screen keyboard, it’s not that hard. What’s wrong with your phone where taps aren’t registering? And poor text prediction would be the same on physical vs on screen KB.

My old Pantrch Duo would frequently ignore physical key presses where it tactically clicked, but failed to actually bottom out enough to register. And I have that issue all the time with mechanical keyboards where the tactile bump happens before the key actually gets registered. Not an issue for typing, but for gaming I do it often.

It’s stinky and smelly and smells bad.

IMO early digital cameras are the best. 640x480, no dynamic range, red eye galore.

CRD put it best:

Nothing is as eye pleasing as a cat photographed with a really bad camera and this thing is firing on no cylinders
