my needs will be met if i can install and activate this ios app that my dumb telco insists I use to pay them with, which needs an SMS code to activate!


and they say "Oh well :derp: just :burger: take out :derptiel: the teeny tiny :gurf: SIM card from the ipad :v: and just pop it into another :j: micro nano sim sim device :sax: then you'll be able to receive the SMS!!! :haw:"

NZ POS does Vodafone even do like just mobile data plans anymore? It all seems to be this overpriced RED plans.

Something else that the anroid (lol) tablets do that the iPad doesn't do is work as a telephone as well therefore I have no use for "free" minutes.

single white uncle with moustache built his PC in 2008 and it is a piece of poo poo even though he will tell you otherwise.

he plugs in webcam to chat with cam girls I assume and that's fine

but if cam turns on, it freezes entire system.

teamviewer works for everyone, re: i was able to guide my mother through setup
you can remote access him from whatever system then too (even mobile you need for some idiotic reason)
dxdiag is built into system, assuming he has windows
also you can tell him to gently caress off if he tries to climb on your head, unless he owes you money/favour ir gives those away without obligations

I have heard of but never tried teamveiwe right. Ta muchly :)


he owes me lots. this will be more so I don't know why I bother other than to preserve family unity through acts of loyalty.

does it not do drag and dropping the folder into the app? i dont know since i dont use it but thats how most app stuff works now. basically import dialogs are mean old things and they visibly anger me

Yeah you can drag and drop but it doesn't import them just spins a bit and then goes naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah gently caress ya

I mean it doesn't really suck, because I can just keep using the folders and upload to :yayclod: if I want

It just gives me another reason not to use the most advanced photo management system on the most advanced operating system yet. If it imported my photos well then I'd use it I think and possibly would have paid for icloud oh well
