Not a protector per se, but I put this cover on my iPad that makes it feel like paper when you write on it. The cover magnetically attaches so I can put it on and take it off as needed.
Sheridanto Fuck AI•'But What if we Made a Show Showcasing the Positives of the Torment Nexus'English55·8 days ago“White Mirror” as a name makes no sense. A screen doesn’t turn white when it’s off.
I’ve had a mid-tier OLED tv the last few months. The colors and contrast look phenomenal to me. You get true black on OLED since each pixel is individually lit.
I watch a lot of horror films which will have many dimly lit or night time scenes. OLED makes those scenes much easier to see because of increased contrast between dark and light.
Sheridanto Ask Lemmy•What acronyms are you annoyed to see take on other meanings?English231·12 days agoSo many people think Mac is an acronym for whatever reason, as in “Do you use MAC or PC?”.
I don’t know why they think this. It was never formatted that way in any of Apple’s marketing materials.
It really annoys me. In my head when I read it I hear “MAC” pronounced in the voice of Gilbert Godfrey.
I’m guessing they’re confusing it with MAC addresses? They probably saw the term somewhere and wrongly assumed it had something to do with Apple Macs.
Sheridanto Apple•"This is what the Priority Notification interface that uses artificial intelligence looks like in iOS 18.4"English4·27 days agoEh, needs gloss, shadows, and reflections for that.
As Wi-Fi is a form of radio technology, we still basically do this today.
Sheridanto World News•Universal Coronavirus Vaccine Breakthrough: A Single Shot That Could Protect You From COVID, MERS, and the Common ColdEnglish9·1 month agoHowever, I’d expect businesses would also want to reduce cold and covid’s impact on employee productivity? Wouldn’t fewer employees needing to take sick time because of cold/covid increase their profits? Outside of businesses that profit from cold/covid, I don’t see what the motivation for businesses would be against this vaccination.
Sheridanto Technology•Max Streaming ‘Enshittifies’ Further, Removes Classic Looney TunesEnglish11·1 month agoIs this edition of Looney Tunes available on blu-ray? The Max version was a 4k restoration based off new scans of the film iirc.
What country are its servers located?
I use office on macOS. Points 1 and 2 work for me only if the document is saved locally and not on OneDrive.
With Word, people using section breaks when most of the time they should have used the simpler page break.
Section breaks are supposed to be used if you want to have a change in the document layout in the middle of the document. This change could be with the margins, the orientation, the contents of the header or footer, the numbering (eg switch from roman numerals to arabic numerals), etc.
But if you just want the line to move to the next page, use a page break. Section breaks increase the chance of unintended layout and page numbering inconsistencies.
Microsoft should rename section break to “layout break” maybe.
Also, related topic, I really hate it when people just input a bunch of line breaks to get the cursor to the next page, instead of a page break.
Sheridanto Technology•Majority of AI Researchers Say Tech Industry Is Pouring Billions Into a Dead EndEnglish13·1 month agoThe peak of AI for me was generating images Muppet versions of the Breaking Bad cast; it’s been downhill since.
Orion, an iOS webkit browser can run many (not all) Firefox and Chrome extensions.
Wow, I didn’t know iCab was still being developed. I remember it from like 20 years ago.
Its iOS app store page says it doesn’t collect any information, so that’s promising. The recent reviews as of version 11 aren’t great; lots of bugs apparently. I might try it nevertheless.
Thanks for the recommendation!
While the rendering engine (WebKit) is the same across iOS browsers, WebKit is an open source project. To my knowledge there isn’t any telemetry baked into WebKit that reports back to Apple or whomever about user identity or behavior; tracking would have to be added by the developers making use of WebKit for their browser, I think? So in terms of privacy, it should make a difference which iOS you select.
I have hundreds if not thousands of bookmarks; I’d like them to stay in sync between desktop and mobile and that requires the same browser on both platforms, no?
The main problem I’m having is finding a trustworthy iOS browser that does absolutely zero tracking of its users. You look at the privacy info on Apple’s App store pages for like Firefox, Brave, Vivaldi, DDG, and other privacy oriented browsers, and they say they collect this or that. Only Orion from what I can tell promises they collect nothing (whether that can be independently verified idk since it’s closed source).
Sheridanto [Dormant, move to [email protected]] Shows and TV@lemm.ee•What are some lesser-known TV series you like, and would recommend?English38·2 months agoDanger 5. It’s an Australian tv show that had two seasons. It’s a surreal, screwball comedy about a ragtag team whose mission every episode is to kill Hitler.
If you want to see a TV show that has Nazis, dinosaurs, cigarette commercials, and a talking bald Eagle, then this is your show.
I think this meme is referring to when Apple ripped out 32bit support in macOS a few years ago. I couldn’t use Wine anymore to play old windows games on my Mac after that update for example.
They’re very easy to install. It’s almost as easy as installing a shower head.
There are also compact battery powered portable handheld bidets that work about as well as the real thing. I have one I take with me on trips.
