We’ve had a corona app in Germany for a while now and more than 15 million people have it installed. It already helped track contacts in a few hundred cases, which is pretty good since we only have about 300 cases a day at the moment.

What's the state in the UK of covid tracking these days? I've been in exactly one other building other than my home since the end of March so I haven't got anything installed, but are we finally just using the Apple/Google ones instead of throwing money at a failed app?

There isn't a U.K. tracking app currently. The one they trailed in the Isle of Wight looks like it's been abandoned, there are rumours that an app based on the Apple/google api is being developed, but that'll probably take a while. In the U.K., if you test positive, you're asked to log into a website where you list recent encounters with people, and then in theory they trace those people, then they get told to self isolate, so that's the extent of "track and trace" in the U.K.

So glad that I've got a glitch in the Widgets panel on iOS/iPadOS 14 where my Dark Sky widget is still there and can't be removed, since I much prefer their visualisation of upcoming weather vs the Apple one, and the fact that Apple are seemingly only having next-hour rain reports in the US despite Dark Sky doing that in other countries already.Amstrat posted:There isn't a U.K. tracking app currently.

MarcusSA posted:Hell no I’m not going to let them track me that’s crazy! It has a 0% use rate in the US because apps that use it have to be developed by government entities. The federal government has given up on even trying, and few states are even intending to set something up, never mind actually having something available. 9to5 is tracking it here. Only Alabama, North Dakota, South Carolina, and Virginia have said they intend to develop something, and none have released anything yet. North Dakota notably adapted an app for finding your friends at football tailgates for contact tracing without using the api, but it requires you keep your phone unlocked with the app running to work, and was discovered to be sending data to third parties, unsurprisingly.

I just realized, why the gently caress didn't the US federal government pay for a national implementation of the tracker app? It seems like it would cost pennies compared to other federal prevention and treatment efforts and have significant life-saving benefits that would outweigh those costs. In addition to significant cost savings from states paying separately for largely identical implementations. Wtf?

I don't know. Maybe the US' federalist system of government prevents them from doing that? Alternately, maybe current leadership in the federal government is weak and ineffective . . .

So my wife uses Apple Music, and I don't, and googling the answer for this isn't working for me. She has a smart playlist in her (Windows) iTunes that's just called "Year-Round Music" that's everything but the Christmas music. (This is the dumb work around we had to use since she loves to listen to Christmas music during December, but you can't "uncheck" music in an Apple Music subscription.) However, she just added Fleetwood Mac, for example. In iTunes, it shows up in there, and several other new additions to her music library, for over 800 songs. But on her iPhone she has only 666 🤘 songs in that playlist on her phone. How can she get the iOS Music app to get up to date?

The leadership knows exactly what to do, the prez is tested every day and anyone that comes into contact with him is tested as well. The leadership just doesn't give a poo poo about anyone else! So contact tracing is never going to happen in the US.

Because the rona is a Democrat hoax created in a Chinese lab that exists only to make Trump look bad so people vote for Biden.

Is there an app to explain under what conditions you can apply for asylum and which countries have the best chances of accepting it?

Step 1 of applying for asylum is physically being in the country you're applying to and our US passports are worthless, so unless you're planning on renting a boat to get somewhere, good luck! (I realize this is in jest.)

Get a new phone, get a new cord (and no AC adapter) https://www.macrumors.com/2020/07/14/apple-iphone-12-braided-lightning-cable/ At least Apple now recognizes the superiority of a braided cable over whatever the hell they're currently using that falls apart if you look at it wrong.

Would be possible to be USB C to go into phone and USB A to go into power bricks you already have. But C -> C would definitely be ideal and would definitely need a power brick included.

The 11 Pro comes with a USB PD brick with USB C outlet. I'm sure they're gonna include that with the next gen pro models for a generation or two. I doubt they would want to support the cheapest Aliexpress charger that someone runs out and buys instead for a generation or two.

More likely, people will just keep using the USB-A chargers and cables they already have and toss the USB-C cable in the drawer unless they have something to connect it to.

Yeah I have a wireless cradle at my office and on my nightstand so i can peek the screen when it goes off, then I have a pad right by my door in my kitchen that I use all the time for my airpods and sometimes for my phone. Might need to do a pad on one of the end tables in my living room too.

As a person who never bought an iPhone new or for over than half the price this is good. Reselling was always a PITA if you did not have an original charger and headphones to go with the box so the removal of both is quite a bump to more thoughtful owning of an iPhone in my books. I still have my original brick from 5s, its the cable that dies first and has to be replaced with a higher quality braided aftermarket piece anyway
