I’m pretty sure you can get cell data on iPads now, it’s pretty interesting that you can’t make calls with them even when they have sim cards (or eSim)

A quick search says they can only do wifi calling by relaying your iPhone to your iPad

I’m glad your text was that big I almost couldn’t read it

I personally like AI in its current state, still goofy and not a valid replacement for people. I definitely don’t like that all of these corporations are justifying their billions in spending by forcing it into any and every app they can think of!

Why do I need Gemini to suggest a list of items I’m gonna need in my notes app that I likely opened to create a list of things I knew I already needed?

At least with Google messages, you can still send normal SMS if your RCS chat can’t go through. I think there’s an option for it to automatically resend as SMS if RCS fails, too.

I guess there’s no way of knowing if SMS will eventually drop out of fashion, but it would be good to keep around so it probably will stay around as a back up

Edit: well, I didn’t see the other response say basically what I said, oops

That’s the kind of street lamp Windows users used to have, then it was removed and replaced with ads. I use arch btw

“we found your fingerprints on the body”

Yeah I may have reached my hand inside and felt around a little my bad

They tried making SpeedScript but big programming decided it was too fast for its time and shut it down

East Coast cities have people swerving into the other side of the road because they’re texting and driving, and unfortunately I don’t have a button on my car to tell them to put their phones down in English, only car!

And this “TWRP” involves listening to Tupperware Remix Party until your device decides to work again, right?

Do you think you’ll get a real life achievement if you can collect them all?

Kidneymon is what I’m calling this concept

Hey! As a person who used to use reddit but got tired of how terrible it was then moved to the first Lemmy instance I could find, I… Agree? I’m not really sure.

That thumbnail combined with the “security wasn’t sure if it was their lost pair, or another one someone else lost” is quite the combo

Oh yes, finally!

I had already blocked and reported Gemini as spam in the hopes that it would hide the button (spoiler: it didn’t)

If whoever is managing Messages let this go through, maybe it’s a good sign for other apps potentially removing their forced AI chatbots from where they don’t need to be!

11.6 mega bites

Reinventing the onion let’s go

What’s up Stevfen!

Well no wonder I never had more bandwidth, it’s all your metrics eating it up!

With a lot of solar equipment, the tech support has access to a lot of settings us installers don’t, so we’ve had times where we tell the tech that we’ve done everything we can, including restarting it (and with my experience with Generac inverters, restarting them can and will break something!), and sometimes it really feels like they do click a magic button, say “how about now?”, then it works

I have a dark secret. I used to have CenturyLink DSL around 5 years ago, and the tech asked me if I had restarted the modem during one of the many stints where I would get bits per second rather than the “10mbps” we were supposed to get

I lied every time. I’m sorry CenturyLink tech support employee, but man did CenturyLink suck, and man am I absolutely sure that it never fixed the issue.

At one point I filed a complaint with the FCC and got a letter from CenturyLink telling me that they knew about the complaint!

I’ll definitely check some of those out, thanks! I have a little experience with Linux since every self hosted server PC I’ve built has always had Ubuntu Server, but even then I was tempted to try and dual boot Mint
