I dunno if this is the best place to post this, but I have a bug with Messages on my iPad. The app’s unread badge is stuck at 4, but I don’t have any unread messages. Even when a new message comes in, it stays at 4. This hasn’t happened with my iPhone or Mac, which use the same Apple ID. I tried force quitting Messages and restarting the iPad with no luck. What else should I try?

Try scrolling way back in the conversation list and see if any have unread messages. I’ve had stuck-unread messages on really old conversations cleared on my phone, but not computer.

iMessage out of order bug is getting worse and now displaying badges for messages from the future. Thanks, iOS 11.

Sometimes I get ghost unreads on mail.app, and the only way to fix that is to disable the offending account in settings.app and re-enable it. Never had to do this with imessages but my guess is that a sign out and sign in will force the phone to purge its local cache. But this might delete all your conversations too so have fun with that.

I've had ALL of my apps randomly sign me out of my accounts on more than one occasion. Most recently last night. The gently caress is up with that? Apple "It just works"

If we're talking third-party apps, it's usually dumbass developers using the cache (which can be purged at any time by iOS to reclaim space and is explicitly not for data that should be persisted) to store your credentials. In some cases their asses are sufficiently dumb to be doing this intentionally in direct contravention of common sense and the developer docs; in other cases it's because otherwise intelligent developers are using a lovely, poorly-designed cross-platform framework, which is still itself some high-level dumbassery. There are also a lot of really dumb apps that will sign you out for any blip in network connectivity. "Oh no, can't reach the server on our first attempt, better throw everything out!"

Just use Firefox Focus, and if you really want to pay for a content blocker buy Better—the guy that makes it is aggressively anti-advertising, and it seems to be more a political or ideological project than a way of generating an income.

I went ahead and bought it for $5 because the original 1Blocker is an app I use on now two devices every time I open Safari. I have no idea how well it works better, but at least it synced all my white lists and rules from the original 1Blocker. I’ve went ahead and turned them all off anyway though just to see if I still need them since a lot of them were hacks to make a website work. Anyway the official blog details some of the changes the guy made to it. Biggest change is that 1Blocker X installs 7 Safari extensions instead of just one. He had to do this to get around the 50k rule limit for one extension, but at the same time he split off each category of blocking into its own extension that can be enabled at will. One of the surprising things to me was that Safari needs to do some behind the scenes compiling to turn the rules into whatever more native code. I guess I understand now why it always took so long to enable a single rule because everything needed to be recompiled. Supposedly now with the multiple extensions only the specific extension (eg Whitelists) needs to be recompiled so it should be faster. That one crazy guy who profiled a billion different adblockers seems to like it too (and 1Blocker was his pick to begin with).

Yeah that’s who I meant. Sadly it looks like he paywalled his review/benchmark, but the tldr version was that 1Blocker gave the best* performance boost (speedup and less data downloaded). Maybe you can find it on the internet wayback machine though. (*I think 1Blocker was actually the 2nd best in his tests, coming in after the content blocker the Marco.org/Overcast guy made before he decided to remove it from the store.)

Do you have “block comments” enabled? Tbh I don’t visit Facebook.com the actual website, just use the Messenger app, so I don’t know what you mean.

dantheman650 posted:What's the best guided meditation app? I've tried Headspace but something just didn't click for me - want to try some others. What didn't you like about Headspace? I started trying out guided meditation sometime in the last couple of months and I downloaded Headspace as well because it was so highly recommended. I didn't like it either, because I thought too much of it was metaphysical bullshit. People in another thread recommended the app 10% Happier. I tried that too, but again for me too much of it was metaphysical bullshit. It also didn't help that both Headspace and 10% Happier had just way too many options and choices. All I wanted to do was "meditate" and as someone who has never done that before which the gently caress option do I choose? There were like a million different choices and courses to follow and trainers and guides and ugh. maduin posted:Oak is pretty good and free. I found Oak randomly in the app store looking through meditation apps, and the immediate thing that stood out was that Oak was free without a subscription model or in-app purchases. I'm okay with paying a subscription for something that benefits me don't get me wrong, but it being free was enough to get me to download it to try it out. tl;dr: Oak is great.  :Oak is great imo and works out for me because it's not full of metaphysical bullshit. The guide (female one anyway, never tried the male one) doesn't ask you subjective questions like "How do you feel? Do you feel better?" that the other apps do. She doesn't try to teach you bullshit about "dark clouds in the horizon" and how the goal is to see past them or whatever the gently caress Headspace was preaching. It doesn't tell me to watch any videos to orient myself. It doesn't tell me to do bullshit stuff like scanning my body, feeling this and that, and so on. It's completely 100% practical, and for someone like me that's why it works cause I'm not constantly going "  okay this is dumb but whatever."There are no lectures, nothing being preached, no videos, no lessons even. You open the app, and there are basically only two buttons: meditate and breathe. Breathe has 3 breathing exercises that surprisingly do work. You choose the one you want and press go and that's it. The meditation part lets you choose between guided and unguided, and you choose how long (10, 15, etc minutes). The audio is the same for all durations so there's nothing new to learn doing the longer ones and you're not missing out on anything doing the shorter ones. All the data is recorded into Apple Health, so the data is forever yours. The guide itself focuses on things that actually make sense, instead of metaphysical bullshit. She starts you off by telling you to stretch a bit to relax, close your eyes, and then take some deep breaths. You don't have to scan your body or imagine happier places or whatever. You stretch, take some breaths, and then she asks you to focus on your breath and that's it. Every now and then she comes back and reminds you to focus, and at the end she winds you down by asking you to stretch. Like I said, everything she guides you to do is practical. e: Since the guide is so minimal it's really easy to get into it and really easy to get to the point where you are self-sufficient and don't need the app anymore. The only reason I still load up the app every day is to get that data recorded into Apple Health  . And well also to keep my meditation streak in the app going.
