Can't do that, and if you have in in-app browser it better not let you get to a purchase page in any way, no matter how many links you have to follow.

Sony probably takes a much smaller cut.

Iirc, they take no cut because they know that it's a draw to the platform. They have more to gain from keeping you on your PS4 input and off cable or other consoles than it's worth trying to milk on the other end.

Really stupid question. I have the Instagram app, yet I only have 7 of the selfie/face filters and everyone I know has lots more. I've tried deleting and reinstalling the app, restarting, removing my beta profile, all to no success. Is there some secret I'm missing to getting them to appear?

While I assume there's a mundane solution, given that Instagram is owned by Facebook, there's also a non-zero chance that you're in some secret "hey let's intentionally gently caress with our users and see what they do" test.

When applying a filter to a photo, scroll your filters all the way to the right. See an option to manage your filters? Are they all checked or just some?

E: oh this might be different than the selfie/face filters

I dunno, they both kinda suck. Apple's policy is v straightforward if strict: you want to sell any form of digital stuff to use on an iphone, apple gets 30%. Amazon would rather not give Apple its profits on reselling digital stuff, so instead they make their app way crappier to use. Apple says that they're passing on 70% when they sell stuff in their own store, why should they give up even more just to let someone shop at a competitor. They're both middlemen trying to take a cut and consumers get the short end.

Apple did change it so that if you have a subscription charge that a user holds for over a year, the percentage drops to 15%. I’ll also point out the Google Play and Amazon App stores both also take 30%, so it’s not like it’s poor old Amazon being picked on by Apple...

I'm a terrible forums poster with terrible opinions.

Here's a cat fucking a squid.
IIRC Google lets developers implement their own in app purchases thus avoiding the cut. On iOS Apple doesn’t let that happen so it’s either pay up or not offer IAP at all.

No.

Siri only integrates with a few types of "intents", and audio playback isn't one of them.

Don't worry, though. If you want to show people a QR code, Siri has you covered.

All this is telling me is that at least one guy was paid to look at dick pics all day and mark them as either “dick” or “no dick” to get some machine learning data or whatever and then someone else, possibly the same guy, had a job designing an algorithm to sort out dicks and to babysit the algorithm in case it goes too wrong.

What an exciting world.

I loving hate the Instagram app. It closes if I switch to any other app for a moment. And yet it’s still better than the site. Good luck trying to look at older images for someone who has thousands of them. They need to split that poo poo into pages rather trying to show them all at once. gently caress Instagram. Fix that poo poo, Facebook!

I’ve always used the Amazon app because it’s a better experience than using the site on an iPad. They just released a new update that disables landscape mode. Why? Now the app is obnoxious to use.

1. Press “+” to add a photo and just pick a random one.
2. On the screen where you can choose filters scroll all the way to the right and press “manage.”
3. Select the filters you want to show up. Remove the ones you don’t want.

I think that’s what you mean?

Huh, that’s neat I didn’t know this was a thing. I just checked mine and I counted 19, and I’m pretty sure this is the first time I’ve even presses the camera button cause I always just add pictures taken from the regular camera app. I don’t see an immediate way to modify the available filters, so I’m just gonna assume that if you only have 7 filters then you’re just an unlucky person who didn’t fall into the group(s) that they’ve rolled them out to (yet). Either that or maybe some filters require minimum hardware? I have a 6S.

I don’t know if this is the right thread for this but here goes:

I can’t rent/purchase anything from the Amazon Video app on my iPad. It doesn’t even show me the option. I do get the option to watch the free movies. If I rent/purchase the movie on my PC or PS4, then I can watch it on the iPad app but this is a rather obnoxious workaround and I’d rather not have to do it.

Any ideas?


Just in case the very obvious did not occur to you because I did not see it mentioned: you can buy/rent it through Safari on the iPad you don't need to use the PS4 or PC.

Removing a default app does not make apps go to another app, no. They will just not do anything unless there is an option built into the app for Google Maps, and you'll still have to pick it manually every time.

quote:

Private photo vault apps have existed for years. Nude, a new app from two 21-year-old entrepreneurs from UC Berkeley, attempts to create the most sophisticated one yet. Its key innovation is using machine learning libraries stored on the phone to scan your camera roll for nudes automatically and remove them to a private vault. The app is now available on iOS, and I spent the past week testing it.

Not just dicks!

Chiu and Chen attempted to use existing, open-source data sets to detect nudes. But they found that the results were often inaccurate, especially for people of color. And so they built software to scrape sites like PornHub for representative images, eventually amassing a collection of 30 million images. The algorithm still isn’t perfect, the founders say. (“If you have man boobs, those will be imported,” Chen says.)

I actually would love to do that but my company stopped supporting the built-in exchange support in favor of straight Outlook. I was surprised that Boomerang worked so assumed I could get something better than Outlook that works well with Google calendar for my personal one.

In an ideal world, the built-in would be great to take advantage of Siri/Today/watch face stuff but not in the cards it seems.
