I do enjoy his videos. Apparently he working on the audacity overhaul too. Haven't heard (or looked) at it a few years. Last I head was the freakout when the dared to add some basic telemetry to figure how people actually used the software.

She slowly disappears behind the wall never to be seen again.

7 years pass, lying on the floor staring absently at the celing fan at 3:67am she realizes you were joking.

Hey don't steal that!

I stole it fair and square.

That still works? I'll have to look in it. Thanks.

Thanks for the info. I adjusted that section a bit, probably should more effort into the edit. Will read up on it some more in near future.

My point about the simplicity of using the "stock*" messesing app is still relevant for non-tech people. Grandpa doesn't want 6 different messesging apps. The easy phone number/pre-installed/near-universal/moslty cross-platform nature of them is a huge advanatge. Only downside, it has a pricy subscription called "the phone bill".

*i say stock in this case to pretty much include any app that uses your phone number and accepts sms/mms from another phone. For most people, thatll be the stock message app their phone comes with.

Ugreen sells a dual adapter. I'm sure other make one too. Don't choose, just have both.

As for flimsy, unless you get apple's piece of crap, they are resonably durable. Headphone cables were never know for duarbilty either.

Lastly, just leave the adapter plugged into your headphones or aux cable.

I'll agree, they are awkward and I do miss my headphone port, but the ~~solution~~ work around is not that deep.

No one is saying not film your kids, its more about the sharing of said films online to public forms.

Sending a embarassing video grandpa is one thing, but posting it for the whole internet to see is just a breach of privacy. Strangers to the child, aunts, and schoolmates don't really needs to watch little Billy public meltdown, Sally slipping into the pool, or a public review of Jonny's report card and his punishment.

There's espessially creepy ones too, I'm sure you could find things along the vien of "having the talk with Billy" or "Sally shopping for feminine products for the first time" if you looked. There are moments that simply should not be recorded. Those "family vlog" channels are some of the worst offenders.

We spend all our efforts telling kids not post pictures of themselves online or share too much personal information, yet today's 15-20 year olds are finding pretty much their entire life catologed publicly on Facebook by other people,

Having that "life catolog" is cool, but the fact its publicly avalible to anyone is the creepy part.

We advocate for a child's right to their online privacy. Let them to be the ones who choose what is and is not available for the world to see.

If you're too young to have a social media, you're too young to be ON social media.

If your on desktop, here's some unsolicited advice. If you're on mobile, good luck...I've got nothing.

LPT: use unlock origin's element picker to block any unwanted sections of youtube mixed into your feed.

"Premium" gone, "Shorts" gone, "Trending" gone, "Pay to watch" gone, "News" gone, "Survay" gone

LPT2: set a YouTube bookmark to go straight to your subscription page. This way you see the new videos you are most likely to care about first. No need to "hit the bell" and rely on notifications. When I'm caught up there, I'll head over to home feed to see if there's anything intresting.

LPT3: get the extention "Enhancer for YouTube". There's a ton of settings to basically set your playback defaults the way you like. I change the toolbar setting to " showin video playback bar" and auto expand" to get the various buttons to show up like the default ones. (The names of those setting is by memory).

"Unhook" is also good one for clearing out junk.

Lastly "DeArrow", from the maker of SponsorBlock. This one crowd sources new video titles with the goal of replacing clickbait for an actual description of the video.

So did mozzila. Guess my point is, it doesn't matter if they've for profit or not. Once any software company gets big enough, they turn to shit. Maybe not a universal truth, but it does seem to be a common one.

The nice thing about SMS is its on everyone's phone by default.

No apps to download and no accounts to make. Adding someone is a simple 9 digit number.

imessage bridged the gap between bacsic SMS and feature-rich messages. With them both being in one app and handled automatically, it is very convenient to use. While the extra features are limited to apple phones, you can use imessage to universally message any other phone.

~~Google made a their own thing, RCS, to compete with imessage.~~ ~~They made it an open~~ RCS is a standard ~~and worked~~ that works with carriers to make it so any phone could use it. it took Apple ~~7~~ years since release to add support.

Finally, you can text pretty much anyone with a smart phone a message with the "extra features" without hassle.

You can't schedule RCS messages?

A basic features that has been around since the beginning of time is not included?
