I plan on switching to an android phone soon and still have $80 of credit on my itunes account, is there any way to turn this into real money? I was thinking maybe through a gambling app but I don't have any experience with them.

Otherwise, how would you guys recommend spending it?

Can't you gift apps? Sell your credit bit by bit, with enough of a discount to make it worth the time of both parties.

Honestly Bummey as a fellow Minnesotan I'm not sure how you're not obsessed with the weather like everyone else is :haw:

Weather forecast for the foreseeable future: it's gonna suck.

For real, though, I don't know why but I've never really cared about the weather. I don't do anything that requires a forecast always on hand.

My new 6 Plus won't be here for a few months yet, but does this new cloud poo poo store a duplicate copy of each photo locally like it did previously? I always hated that it was one or the other, have them upload to the cloud and take up double the space on my phone, or no cloud uploads at all.

I have two apple IDs. An older one with which I purchased a number of apps, and a newer one. I'd like to just use one with my current email. It seems like I can't merge accounts, but is there a best solution for this? Will I be able to download the older apps with the newer ID without paying again?

You can use apps from many accounts on one device regardless of whatever account you're currently logged in as. Log in to Account A and download apps > log into account B and continue to use app.

Ok, this sounds like a fine solution. Thanks Bummey and chaos.

Keep in mind that, since the app licensing is bound up in the files themselves, you will need to re-enter that original login and password whenever those apps need updates. You control both accounts so that shouldn't be a problem.

Sharing apps with friends, on the other hand, will require password trust or personal visits whenever updates need doing.

Does Reeder 2 work well on the new devices/ios8? I like the bare bones interface and functionality of the original Reeder but it's crashy as gently caress on ios8/6+ and I'm wondering if I should upgrade to the new one or find a new app. I've tried a few different RSS readers but they all have a lot of dumb interface bullshit like featured stories, giant graphics, and other nonsense things getting in the way of my "list of feeds, list of articles, read articles, move on with my life" familiar routine of Reeder.

Do any of y'all use sleepy time music/ambience apps? What are your favorites? I've been using Pzizz on a speaker dock for a few months now but I tend to fixate on the repeating music modules and it gets a little counter productive.

I don't like straight up white noise / tv static, either.

gently caress sleep. I hate sleeping.

It's a universal app, and it says it can import from Dropbox, iCloud, Google Drive, Airdrop, etc on the store page. Open the file in the Dropbox app, then select "open in" and Comiczeal should be an option.

Mine isn't and doesn't. Maybe I'm using an older, pulled version? It works fine for my needs so I have no reason to buy the new one.

Awful app uploads to imgur right in the app.

but it doesn't resize images so poo poo will be loving huge. You've gotta edit your post after the fact and add timg tags, which only changes the display size and still makes the client download the full resolution image. Upit gives you an easy to use resize at the moment of upload.

Here's the imgur url "tricks".

tldr; throw an m or s before .jpg in the imgur URL to shrink it.

Image thumbnails
There are 6 total thumbnails that an image can be resized to. Each one is accessable by appending a single character suffix to the end of the image id, and before the file extension. The thumbnails are:

Thumbnail Suffix Thumbnail Name Thumbnail Size Keeps Image Proportions
s Small Square 90x90 No
b Big Square 160x160 No
t Small Thumbnail 160x160 Yes
m Medium Thumbnail 320x320 Yes
l Large Thumbnail 640x640 Yes
h Huge Thumbnail 1024x1024 Yes
For example, the image located at http://i.imgur.com/12345.jpg has the Medium Thumbnail located at http://i.imgur.com/12345m.jpg

1Password is great but the mac/pc licenses are like $60. You can sort of get around this on a mac by downloading the trial version. When the trial runs out you won't be able to edit the data but you can still access everything that's there and sync/update/manage it all through the iphone application.

or, you know, buy the license if you feel you need to.

I'll give it a look. Its only got 2 stars though so I'll probably wait until its free again instead of 2.99. Thanks!

After I downloaded it several months ago I it set up to notify me of a bunch of shows I'm interested in but realistically will never get around to watch because I don't have a tv subscription. It pings me several times a week and seems to be working fine, but I don't really use it behind dismissing the notifications. Maybe there's more functionality I don't know about that isn't working well, or something, I don't know.

I do remember it had some problems where it failed to update show data but that was fixed in the last update.
