Rageaholic posted:Thread, what case brands are we recommending? I've got a Spigen on my 12PM currently, and I know they were recommended in the previous thread. But who else? Apple brand cases? Are Otterboxes still used? Caudabe Sheath 👌🏻

Rageaholic posted:So there isn't one brand to recommend in the OP? Spigen, Caudabe, Apple, Otterbox...they all sound like they're good for different reasons. No, not really. There are a lot of good case brands. As someone who has bought far too many, here like the top 5 I'd recommend that other people also seem to like a lot: • Caudabe Sheath • Spigen Liquid Air • Phone Rebel (whatever generation case they're currently on) • Apple (Silicone, Clear, or Leather) • Otterbox Symmetry

The Grumbles posted:edit: Someone shared this in the previous thread, but the new image cut-out feature - how do you save those as transparent PNGS for use elsewhere? It kind of sucks that outside of iMessage it gets a white BG. I'm in the UK, so very few people I know use iMessage on the reg - it's all WhatsApp here. Unless it's changed recently, WhatsApp sends everything as jpegs. Maybe they'll change it now that the cut-outs are a thing? A way around it, I assume (I haven't tried yet) would be to use a third-party WhatsApp 'sticker creator' which would then let you send the cut-outs as stickers.

Snuffman posted:What's wrong with Brave, exactly?...was what I was going to say until I went to their site and realized they've really leaned into the free-dum types. I can accomplish everything Brave says with Firefox and a few plugins without my browser mining crypto or wherever those brave crypto tokens are coming from. I also love Firefox, but Brave is my Chromium browser of choice. It's really easy to disable the crypto stuff, and it's pretty fast and stable.

Bad Purchase posted:haven't tried changing the browser on my phone though. is it still the case that every browser on the iphone is required to just be a UI wrapper around the built-in safari renderer, or have they finally relaxed that? Yeah, that's still the case and I think Safari is still the only one to support extensions (don't actually know if it's technically possible for the third-party ones to even interface with WebKit enough to support their own extensions)

Duckman2008 posted:Yeah, hard to say, because I’m similar to the other poster, message sync between my iPhone and Mac has been iffy for years. I will say recently i think it’s better, but that’s anecdotal. Have you enabled Messages in your iCloud settings? It's been rock solid for me since that's been a feature, but was shaky before that. GoatSeeGuy posted:I hear this a lot, so maybe I'm the weirdo that doesn't notice/mind moving from my 11 to my 2021 12.9 iPad Pro screen at all. The Grumbles posted:Yeah I gotta say that my biggest trepidation was the mismatched refresh rates, going from Pixel 6 to a 13 Mini, when I use a 120hz 11'' iPad pro, but I honestly don't notice it in the slightest. I think there were maybe 10 minutes when I first booted up the iPhone that I may have noticed it? Maybe it's more of a big deal on bigger phones? Maybe I have old man eyes now I'm in my 30's? I tend to notice it more on my phone than my iPad. I also find that switching between different sizes, the refresh rate being different doesn't bother me, but say I had two of the same device side by side (computer monitors are a good example) them being mismatched drives me insane.

I'd probably switch to Apple Music if they supported Last.fm scrobbling, but I don't really ever see that happening. There are third-party apps that support it, but then there are other downsides. So, Spotify it is.

xzzy posted:The biggest crime of apple music is it has that little infinity icon activated by default, so when I finish playing an album or song I picked from the search results page it'll decide I need more music and draw a random song from a random genre out of a hat to surprise the gently caress out of me and send me scrambling for the stop button. Spotify also has this on by default and turned off by a setting, though? I also hate it, but I feel like most people just want the music to keep playing.

Question Mark Mound posted:So the main difference between it and a shared album where you give people full permissions is just the ability to edit and delete photos and it not using up their own iCloud storage? They both feel like such similar features to me that it may as well have been rolled into just extra functionality for shared albums, since you could at least do it with multiple different groups of people in that case. Shared Albums doesn't share full quality images and Shared Libraries do
