I'm setting up an iPad for a friend who is not very technically literate. Can someone recommend an ad blocker [ed: for Safari or Firefox] that: • Is free or a one-time payment (i.e. not a subscription) • Blocks all ads including YouTube ads • Requires no interaction after initial configuration (this is the really important bit) Quackles fucked around with this message at 00:30 on Oct 3, 2022 |

We won't be installing/using the YouTube app, so that's not a big deal.

Can anyone recommend some thin rubber feet that can fit on the back of my iPhone and keep it in place when it's lying flat on a table? (Note: I'm not looking for a phone case - I like how slim the phone is. But its camera bump means it doesn't rest flat on a table, and, well...)

I'm thinking of upgrading from my iPhone 7 Plus as the amount of space (32 GB) is getting constrained. However, there are some issues: • I want a large form factor phone (this is critical or I won't be able to use it) • I don't use a phone case, but all iPhones after the 7 have glass backs - what's most resistant to damage? It'll be in my pocket up against my keys. • I'd prefer the front bezel to be white if possible What would people recommend?

Mister Facetious posted:1.) 14 Plus or Pro Max (including refurbs) are your only (Apple) options Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention: • Assume I'm buying the phone used. Just say what model you think would be best and I'll ask my local independent computer store to fish one up. quote:2.) Glass is higher on the mohs scale than steel, the main source of scratches in pockets is going to be sand. The frame is another story though, that sumbitch will scratch whether it's steel or aluminum. OK, that's a weight off.

Duckman2008 posted:Just to check: are you in the US or not ? US has an on going carrier price war, so sometimes you can get good deals. Postpaid only. I'm in Canada. I also won't purchase a phone on contract under any circumstances; I would prefer to buy an older used iPhone with a replacement battery (sadly my local used computer store didn't have an 8 Plus in white) but I'll take whatever as long as the size is good (see below). The Lord Bude posted:I feel like if someone’s coming from a 7 plus then they are used to and probably specifically want a large phone. OP made a point of saying ‘I want a large form factor phone, this is critical or I won’t be able to use it’ I'll adapt to the lack of a bezel, I guess. But yes, I do want a physically large phone; I have big hands. Gay Retard posted:I'm pretty amazed you've gotten by with a 32GB iPhone for this long - managing a device's app storage sounds like my worst nightmare. Give me the extra storage so I don't have to think about it for the next 3+ years of the device. The last time I had 32GB of storage in my phone was over a decade ago with the iPhone 5 The secret is that I use it as my secondary computing device; my primary is a MacBook Pro which has effectively inexhaustible space. What's taking up the space on my iPhone is mobile games I've only had the phone for about two years; before that I was on a flip phone because the MacBook Pro did everything.

GATOS Y VATOS posted:iOS question: I’ve got a 13 Pro running 16.2. Since I updated to 16, if I ever copy something to paste into another app I always get a notification that says “Do you want to allow (app I copied from) to paste to (app I am in now)?” I always say yes then have to paste again. But every day this resets and the apps never remember that I gave permission to paste. How do I make this behavior go away so I can just copy and paste between apps without getting the annoying dialogue? To give lasting permission, you have to go to the destination app's section in Settings and change "Paste From Other Apps" from 'Ask' to 'Allow'. This only appears after you've tried to paste into that app at least once.

I don't actually use Touch ID for most things as it is. I just like having a physical Home button to press. When that day comes, I'll probably grudgingly upgrade to a newer iPhone set to passcode-only.

beuges posted:The only argument I can see against sideloading would be that it could increase the risk that some exploit in an unrelated app could somehow result in other malware being installed via the sideloading feature. The main threat I can see is if some apps only release on the sideload store, and then an entity requires users to install them. Examples could include work or school MDM [or tracking] apps.

Shaocaholica posted:Ok I don’t want to say criminals are dumb because a lot of them aren’t but it seems like every week there’s a video of an Apple Store getting robbed in broad daylight when it’s most convenient imo. But I’m pretty sure these robbers know these units are all going to be locked so what happens to these stolen iPhones/ipads/macs? Are they being parted out? Is the money from that even worth the risk? Aren’t most Apple parts soft locked anyway to their T chip these days? Are there Apple chop shops? I am told, based on Find My data from people who had their phones pilfered, that the phones are immediately shipped back to China (usually around or near Shenzhen) to be disassembled and used for parts (by the thieves) if possible. So yes, there are Apple chop shops, on that side of the Pacific Ocean.

It’s definitely a new trend. quote:It is the one great weakness of journalism as a picture of our modern existence, that it must be a picture made up entirely of exceptions. We announce on flaring posters that a man has fallen off a scaffolding. We do not announce on flaring posters that a man has not fallen off a scaffolding. Yet this latter fact is fundamentally more exciting, as indicating that that moving tower of terror and mystery, a man, is still abroad upon the earth. That the man has not fallen off a scaffolding is really more sensational; and it is also some thousand times more common.
