Ok well support told me I was SOL because it’s been over 30 days. On the plus side I just found out that YouTube apparently fixed PiP?

Yeah pretty sure it’s a premium feature. I’m glad it’s finally back though because it was dumb they removed it.

Wonder if anyone can answer this question about the Apple iPhone Upgrade Program. Let's say I get my new phone in the mail and I end up not liking it and I want a different model. Can I just go to an Apple Store and exchange it or does it all have to be done through the mail?

I noticed I got a tiny scratch on my 13PM. Hopefully I’ll forget about it but does Apple care + support screen replacements? Also, if I end up trading in for the 14, what happens to the AppleCare+? Does that increase the value to Apple? Carry over? Or you just lose it.

Just use a Safari link and PiPifier or Vinegar or something and you never have to worry that.

PiP was fine in the fall, but lately it's gotten all fucky with putting a box of a finished video on the screen. They're also testing some cross platform resume feature, where if you watch part of a video on your desktop the next time you launch the app on your phone it tries to resume that video from the same spot. Which is a reasonable idea, but if you clicked a link to open a specific youtube video it ignores this and loads up the video it wants you to resume. So it needs work.

So now when you power off the phone, it says "iPhone remains findable when powered off". How does this work?

I tried to find a thread for streaming services but I couldn't find anything. As a big Neil-head I find myself in dire straits now that he's off Spotify, the streaming service I've been using since day one. How good/bad is Youtube Music? The added benefit of an ad-free Youtube experience is very tempting. I bet the recommendations won't be as good as Spotify's so I'd have to browse more actively, but other than that, the apps are OK etc? I don't want another one of my eggs in Tim's basket, so Apple Music is out of the question. What else is there? Tidal?

It doesn't do a great job of surfacing new songs and tends to keep throwing me the same stuff I've already listened to, but I've not really been unable to find stuff I want to listen to on it. If song discovery is really important to you than another service may serve your needs better. I watch a lot of youtube so the ad-free experience is worth it to me for a somewhat subpar song discovery ability.

Xabi posted:I tried to find a thread for streaming services but I couldn't find anything. I've been using YouTube Music for awhile now since I picked up a student YouTube Premium membership for no ads. I haven't used it a lot, but it's okay? Selection can be a bit hit or miss (see below), but stuff that they don't have as actual licensed music you can just grab random YouTube fan uploads of and put into your playlists or whatever just fine. Ultimately I find Apple Music has better selections/playlist/discovery (on a trial of this) but it's not worth me getting a different other subscription for. I can't compare to Spotify, because I've never subscribed to it myself. I'm also not a "Neil-head" but to go with my comments above I went to YouTube music and got the list of Neil Young albums they have on the service. I don't know his catalogue, I have no idea how complete or terrible this is. I'm also in Canada, so it might be a bit different elsewhere: https://ibb.co/C2TFpBH  https://ibb.co/W6VQ1Jg

Apple Music's algorithms have gotten a lot better for me over time. It seems like the more you use it, the better it gets. Spotify might be better right off the bat.

The fact you can't sort your Apple Music playlists in recently added order is a dealbreaker for me. I don't want to see and play the oldest song I have in a playlist Edit: Also the fact you can't easily sort your list of playlists. You can do it by title but putting numbers before your playlist like "1 - My Favourites" you would assume in a sensible world would put it to the top. It puts it to the bottom (I think it might even show at the top in Music on the Mac which is even dumber) 101 fucked around with this message at 02:18 on Feb 2, 2022 |

Apple music is great because it somehow preserved a bunch of playlists I made when I was a teenager using iTunes (I must have... moved them? to apple music somehow?) and now I get to relive my teenage angst whenever I want

Thank you! This looks good so I'll try it out and see if I will end up missing Spotify's recommendations. I understand that not everybody will agree with my stance on not getting even more Apple stuff, but that's how it is.

Does anyone know if there's something I can say to stop Siri from reading a text into my earpods? I usually like it but with Wordle I'm receiving a lot of texts "two yellow square emoji..." poo poo that goes on forever. Googling just shows how to turn it off. I just want to interrupt her and stop for specific messages, if that makes sense.

picked up an airtag and a keychain attachment when i had to stop at the apple store for something else yesterday as i tend to put my keys down places i forget. had my phone and keychain in my pocket and just got a ton of these notifications in a row. i can tell it's my keyring from the phone number. what's causing this as it's going to get annoying if it's persistant.

I know phone screens these days are supposedly made out of magic scratch proof super glass but the idea of putting anything that isn’t soft and edgeless in the same pocket as my phone is absolutely horrifying. I’ve never scratched a phone screen and I believe it’s this policy that’s kept me safe in over a decade of smartphone usage.
