There’s a toggle button to allow the iPad versions of their apps to run on visionOS. It would take one person less than four minutes to allow it. Is it an amazing experience on Vision Pro? No, but it would be a good one at least.

The old Apple AirPort Express could turn any USB printer into a networked printer.

11% increase in revenue. Lays off a thousand employees. Great to see capitalism working for people and not corporations.

Yeah. He went to that other school with my girlfriend in Canada. My uncle who worked for Nintendo knows all about it.

What’s the tiniest thing about iOS / iPadOS / macOS that really bugs you? in c/apple_enthusiast@lemmy.world

It should be in control center, or configurable to be put there.

Ringtone volume is set under “Sounds & Haptics” in settings.

It’s a “sticky” setting in that, if you have “change with buttons” turned off, you have to go back to settings to adjust the notification/ringtone volume, but I’ve always treated ringtones as on/off rather than specific volume levels, because of the silent switch. I don’t ever want my phone to ring loud, so I have the volume set low just in case I happened to forget to put it in silent mode.

As much as we have Lucas to thank for the movies getting made, it cannot be overstated just how important Ralph was (and continues to be) to the visual language of Star Wars. I love that shows like Rebels, Obi-Wan, and The Mandalorian have incorporated so many of his previously unused designs. His work is the gift that keeps on giving.

This is why I block users who share garbage after the first few times I notice it. For example, this will be the last post I see from OP.

Imagine if the same complaints were leveled at people every time Samsung put out a new watch, phone, or tablet. Some of these are just cell radio variations, but come on.

Ahsoka Season 1, Episode 3 (i.imgur.com)
 

I gave episodes 1 & 2 a B- primarily for pacing issues.

Episode 3 resolved my pacing concerns (dialogue seemed to move at a better pace), and the characterization of Hera (the bit we got of her) seemed more consistent with my expectations.

Most importantly, this episode was fun. I enjoyed the interactions between Ahsoka, Sabine, and Huyang. The dynamics of the three are interesting, and Huyang’s pessimism in regards to Sabine’s training gives Ahsoka a chance to be more optimistic than we saw in her interactions with Hera. It’s a good dynamic, and I look forward to seeing it play out further.

Less play with Baylan than I would have liked, but overall I think episode 3 exceeded the expectations I had coming out of the first two episodes.
