Privacy is not anonymity.

Came to say the same thing lol. Especially since Keeper Security deal with credential management.

Most of my issues were fixed when I disabled swipe to type. Not all, but most.

I've heard this advice before and I've tried it, and I really didn't notice a difference. I also, unfortunately, use swipe to type a lot. If I'm typing one handed I'm pretty much always using swipe. Sure it barely works, but that's the same as if I was typing normally so feels like a wash.

Keyboard works fine. Always has. iPhone just has so many users that there's going to be a plethora of passionate unpleasable nerds for every single facet of it. Even in your ideal virtual keyboard version, there was an army of people complaining that it wasn't a hardware keyboard.

No it doesn’t.

It did work fine before. But I had to swipe 3 times to get “fine” instead of “going” just now


This is misinformation, please provide sources to your claims. The iOS keyboard degraded in the latest versiond.

Nice strawman, and unnecessary attack. I'm using iPhones since the 3GS, and from time to time type on an Android and the keyboard on iOS _sucks_. As someone else wrote, I am loathing to chat with someone on the phone and rather switch to my laptop.

I’ve never really disliked the keyboard. I’m not entirely sure what they’re talking about. That being said I’ve never used swipe to text so maybe that factors in, or never having had a smartphone other than an iPhone.

If you had ever used Swype on Android (it was only briefly on iOS, and wasn't as good as the Android version yet), you would understand how good keyboards could be 10-12 years ago. Perfect precise cursor placement. Cut, copy, paste, and select shortcuts. It was not perfect, but it was rapidly getting there.

Microsoft bought and killed it without, apparently, learning from it. Maybe there was a good reason why, but I've never seen one.


okay.

In case anyone else is going crazy trying to find this setting, it’s called slide to type

Wife and I have been using Zenni for years. She loves being able to swap out glasses every year or so without breaking the bank. Also my glasses at a normal place are 800-1200 while at Zenni they are barely 120.

> 800 - 1200

What the fuck? Is this normal in the U.S.A.?


No, not really. I bought an $800 pair of designer sunglasses a couple of times, but usually, good frames are only a few hundred bucks.

"only" a few hundred bucks for just frames? That seems ridiculous for what you are getting.

This is different. This shows you what in your operating system is making connections out and to where.

Probably a good thing I only play indie games and games from companies who could never afford the licensing for Denuva.

This is cool and all but, at least the way I read it, it’s not the MRI machine doing this but a doctor with a needle.

I am confused by this logic. Proton has never stated they wouldn’t comply with the law. Just that if you encrypt items in your account that they couldn’t not decrypt them.

If you want to work with a company that will ignore the law then you will have to work with an illegal entity.


Well...no, they clearly state:

"Since the Proton Meet servers do not have the meeting password and thus cannot derive the MLS keys, Proton cannot decrypt and record any of the audio, video, screen share, or chat messages." per https://proton.me/blog/meet-security-model

So if they then somehow turn around and decrypt this data, that would be against their statements. It's not against the law to say "We don't have any way to decrypt this data due to the nature of E2E encryption". (Not a lawyer...maybe it is idk)


I used to love swiping to type on mobile. Then I switched to iPhone. The issue there is if you have swipe enabled, it messes with the hit box of keys and you end up typing a lot of garbage if you type to fast when not swiping.

At my last job we bought a lot of Vizio tvs. We used them for conference rooms, hallway displays, etc. They were reasonably priced and had a good feature set needed.

They have been on a decline for years and this is a nail in the coffin.


There are business models that are dumb displays that you bring your own device to do conference stuff on whatever platform you wish. I'm not current with the pricing but they typically have good warranties.


They are insanely priced compared to disposable Vizios - renting a "real" display monitor for a conference would be $1000 or so (including the shipping, setup, return, usually involving large crates and trucks).

Buying a similar Vizio would be delivered by free by Walmart for $200, you just ignore the setup prompts, stick HDMI in, and give it to a nice hotel employee when done.


This was a what can we order under X dollar amount from Target kinda thing. We bought 2 TVs a month for several years.
