Hed posted:one of my kid's friends has an iphone 4 (model A1332) that is locked at the "iPhone is disabled connect to iTunes" screen. I looked on the Apple forums, and it's either reset with a computer, or take it to the fruit stand. This doesn't exclude the possibility of there being a way to, like, hack into it or whatever, but that's beyond my knowledge. Quackles fucked around with this message at 23:29 on Mar 10, 2024 |

Also bigger picture: iPhone 4 is basically unusable today. If the goal is “I want to get photos off” then there’s probably effort involved, but if the goal is “oh sweet an iPhone” it’s not with the squeeze

An iPhone 4 may be old enough that there's an actual hack available for it. I don't know where you'd find it, but it may exist!

Been with the 14 for a little while now and really like it, much more so than my old 12 Mini (except for the size, obv) but I am very impressed with the battery idle time. At night I have a Shortcut that puts my phone into low power mode, switches to grayscale and turns off notifications and I don't think it even trickles down a few percentage points during a typical night.

I don't think putting it in grayscale does anything to help battery life. You do you but I would recommend just putting it on a charger at night and turn on the sleep focus. That turns the display completely off while allowing the phone to do things such as run a backup. Don't janitor your phone.

Mostly it's just to get me off my phone at night, I don't expect it to have any discernible effect on battery life or helping screen longevity or something.

Silly iPhone thing of the day: Asked Siri to “play some music” in CarPlay after updating to latest OS. “To access Apple Music, please accept the updated license agreement on your device.”

I think that happens every time they update Music with an iOS update

My "favourite" Siri thing was being elbows deep in my motorcycle last weekend with a torque wrench and yelling out "Hey siri what is X nm in foot pounds" and hearing "here's what I found on the web" instead of an answer I can use without picking up my phone with dirty rear end gloves to punch numbers into an HTML calculator. Thanks Tim Apple. But on the topic of CarPlay, it looks like there's some incompatibility between CarPlay and what I presume to be the new locally-downloaded maps data. feature. If I start a route on maps.app on my phone which has locally downloaded map data for my area, once I get in the car it says something like "turn by turn directions not available for this destination". Honestly not sure if the two are related but anecdotally I only started seeing this after I downloaded the data to my phone so.. iunno. some kinda jackal fucked around with this message at 15:47 on Mar 13, 2024 |

Siri is only good for like setting a timer or something and even then it's pretty stupid at that. It sucks and gently caress it I hope Apple goes whole hog with the AI crap in iOS 18 like the rumors say.

I feel like Siri has gotten worse with conversions/calculations/lookups. It definitely does more of the "here's a website I found to answer that" more often than before.

Yeah Siri was always "bad" but it worked good for very simple instructions, like "Siri what's 69 oz to x" when I'm cooking or "remind me to do x". It always worked perfectly fine but now half the times it says "here's a website" or "I can't find an app for that" like what? Just make a reminder in the reminders app.

Yeah my HomePod frequently gets a false activation and starts babbling some nonsense in response to whatever is playing on the TV. Conversely I’ve completely given up on asking it to add things to my shopping list because it will ask “who is speaking?” and then make me get my phone out to prove it 100% of the time now.

It’s also annoying when Siri decides randomly that the command that has always worked is suddenly outside its wheelhouse. I only use it to set an alarm or get directions to a friends house/work/home.

(IDK if Android/Google is any good at any of this either but the fact I'm staring at my loving phone talking to it and it does that is amazingly bad)

I hate trying to set a time for x hours and y minutes, because if you say "Siri, set a timer for 1 hour 15" it will set a timer for 1 hour and 15 seconds. You have to say "Siri, set a timer for 1 hour 15 minutes" which is stupid. (also, if you try to beat the system and say "Siri, set a timer for 75 minutes" it doesn't respond in kind.  )

You can absolutely say 75 minutes. Also you can just say the duration to save time. "Hey siri 75 minutes"

You can also set alarms by just saying “5 PM” or whatever. If you tap and hold on the shift or caps key and swipe to the key you want to use, it will automatically switch the keyboard back to qwerty. Tapping and holding on the space bar lets you move the cursor, but I imagine most iPhone users are familiar with that one? Lots of secret features in iOS.

Also was Siri supposed to wake upon just saying "Siri" newest iOS version? I never got my Siri to consistently wake unless I said "Hey Siri", yet my friend was able to just say "Siri". Of course I tried it now without the "hey" and it worked this time.

(Also Apple Music is trash too if you want to run it on a Mac) My home is a mixture of Google Assistant devices and one HomePod. Google Assistant has turned into absolute trash lately. It won't turn lights on/off, it won't answer questions, it won't do timers, it rarely listens for the wake word anymore, and sometimes it just ignores you. My roommate saw something where Google fired a bunch of people or moved them off of GA and over to their Bard AI crap. Whatever it is, Google is as bad as Siri, if not worse. A least Siri will do timers without fail for me.

But I think I'm going to train myself to do "Siri 1 hour 15 minutes" which is probably short enough that I won't complain too much about the redundant "minutes".
