Good, then maybe your friends will think long and hard before dropping your poo poo. Be all "okay you can borrow my phone but if you shatter it that's $100."

Anyone running the iOS 9.3 (public or developer) beta encountering any battery life issues? Mine seems to have gone somewhere between slightly worse and tanked on a 6S. Usage hasn't really changed at all since 9.2, and at the end of the day, I'm down to 20-30% instead of the usual 50-60%.

You allow other people to put headphones which are going to go into your ears into their ears? That's disgusting. I wouldn't even let someone who wasn't a close relative hold my phone up to their ear, let alone do that. Make them use speakerphone.

What i do is I hand them a piece of paper and have them write down whatever the gently caress it is they want to say/search for and then I transcribe it for them with a stylus. Literally no one is allowed to touch my phone.

I also carry nitrile gloves, because the very act that I'm using my own phone for them means they're touching it by proxy and so there has to be some kind of barrier.

Has anyone noticed battery life on the iPhone 6 going to poo poo since the newest update? I used to consider charging the phone after two days but now it's dead if I leave it unplugged overnight. My friend also noticed the same thing. edit: enojy posted:Anyone running the iOS 9.3 (public or developer) beta encountering any battery life issues?

Facebook app is doing all sorts of weird poo poo to my feed like ignoring people together (no they're not unfollowed) and listing things that it thinks I'll like versus doing it chronologically which is what I want and I can't make this the default.

Facebook on the desktop does this too, it reorders your feed into what it THINKS will be most interesting for you based on ~~algorithms~~. To be honest it's fairly accurate, if my friend posts something and people start commenting on it, Facebook will bring it to the top and show it to me, which is kinda what I'm interested in anyway, discussions amongst friends or active posts basically. BUTTTTTT... If you want to see more from specific people, you can assign them to your 'Close Friends' list and then you'll get a notification whenever they post. If you want to view your feed as a dump of all activity in reverse chronological order, you have to go to Me > Feeds > Most Recent. Until you use it frequently enough that it becomes your Most Visited, and then you can just go Me > Most Recent. It's a bit annoying but again, Facebook *wants* to decide what to show you... and it's not like you're paying them to do what you want... On the desktop site, under Favourites on the left you'll see News Feed, there's an arrow beside it, you can click that and choose 'Most Recent'. It remembers that setting in general but likes to reset itself frequently. Yay social media.

I thought one of the points of having the FB sign on as a global iOS thing was so it could push you notifications without the app.

Pivo posted:Yay social media. Yeah, this drives me nuts. I'm on Facebook enough in a day that the only thing I ever want to see is the latest stuff at the top. On the desktop version it'll remember this for an amount of time before it decides that it's not going to anymore. The phone version thinks hiding this in a submenu is cool and good. Maybe it's cheaper for them to cache the data in a specific way and deny this in an easy fashion?

EL BROMANCE posted:Maybe it's cheaper for them to cache the data in a specific way and deny this in an easy fashion? I don't have friends inside Facebook anymore to ask, hah, but someone on SA probably is... They have a huge dataset so caching might be a concern but I think it's more to do with them fine-tuning their prediction algorithms. It's easy to measure your level of interaction with the content they serve up, which allows them to build a profile about your preferences in general, which allows them to give you a news feed that you are more engaged with, which drives up engagement with the sponsored content that also exists on Facebook. If you're aware that there's a computer deciding what to show you, it bothers you. Most people don't give a gently caress. Nerds who wonder about how backends of software services are implemented are not exactly the target market.

Funnily enough I just loaded Facebook and this was the first thing I sawquote:Is there a Facebook option for "I already loving saw this five times, block it from appearing in my timeline ever EVER again"? Which is probably triggered by someone sharing the same poo poo he's seen a bunch of times (Bob or Ted or whatever that stick prick is called), but made me laugh as it sums up how I feel about what I'm complaining about. Top Posts to me is usually poo poo I've Seen All Day Already.

I use Paper for Facebook -- it's lightweight compared to the Facebook app and hasn't hosed me on battery usage yet, but it doesn't appear to support notifications.

If anyone was dumb enough to fall for the 1970 date bug, if you unplug the battery, it will reflash the phone and bring it out of brick status. For anyone who hasn't heard about this, if you change the date in your phone to 1/1/1970 and turn the device off it bricks the phone. This means that even a DFU restore will not fix the issue. The reason is that 1170 in Unix is the code for false. So when the device powers up and checks the date it throws it into a boot loop. Simply unplugging the battery will resolve the boot loop issue.

1170 is a completely meaningless value in any UNIX I ever used, not sure where that rumor could have come from.

This means that even a DFU restore will not fix the issue. The reason is that 1170 in Unix is the code for false. 100% bullshit. 1170 is not an integer value that means anything specific in UNIX or POSIX-compliant systems, nor would a date like January 1 1970 ever be represented as integer 1170. Time and dates are stored as offset of seconds from the epoch (in general, exceptions exist), which is Thursday 1 January 1970, but that would be integer 0, to represent the first second of the year 1970, as far as that system is concerned. UNIX doesn't have a "code for false". In general we take a non-zero return to mean an error condition when dealing with returns from executables, but in common systems programming languages we accept that 0 will probably usually represent 'false'. This is not always the case, just like we can't assume much about C data types, and why saying '8 bits in a byte' is technically incorrect. Platforms differ. But representing a date of 1/1/1970 as the integer 1170, no one would do that, like do you even Y2K bro

I felt obligated to warn my roommate about it once I saw that some immature trollolo made a mock-up Apple ad, advertising it as a "surprise blast from the past" to celebrate some made up anniversary. The ad looked convincing enough; it's not like it's hard to fake an Apple ad.
