All applications should start in dark mode, and then offer you the option to move to light mode.
Disagree. All apps should start by following the system mode. That way you get the app the way you like it and don’t have to change it.

My Dog Buddy just turned 4 years old yesterday. I flew home for it. And we give him all kinds of snacks and treats all day long. Question is. Does he actually know its his B-Day or just we are.....

People who are staying on Plex, have you tried Jellyfin? What about it do you not prefer? (real question)
The client apps on Apple TV are just not good. I have tried swiftfin which is slow and I find it not very visually appealing. There there is infuse which does look better, but is missing features and requires a subscription for full functionality. If there is a app I'm missing I would be happy to try it.
I keep Jellyfin up to date and check in or it from time to time. Even have watchstate so my watched history stays updated. Hoping one day there will be a good Apple TV app and I could fully switch.

My office has automatic faucets in the bathroom and I've started sticking my hands under the faucet at home and wondering for a second where the water is.
I have a fair bit of home automation setup at home. So if I walk into a room the lights turn on, walk out and they turn off.
Every time I am visiting someone or in a hotel I am deeply confused why the lights don’t turn on themselves.

In setting in Safari under the autofill tab you must have using information from my contacts checked. Without that checked it won’t prompt you. With it checked it will.

The vague Apple Neural Engine, what does it do with the premium we paid for ?
Tasks the Apple Neural Engine Takes Responsibility For
It’s time to dive into just what sort of jobs the Neural Engine takes care of. As previously mentioned, every time you use Face ID to unlock your iPhone or iPad, your device uses the Neural Engine. When you send an animated Memoji message, the Neural Engine is interpreting your facial expressions.
That’s just the beginning, though. Cupertino also employs its Neural Engine to help Siri better understand your voice. In the Photos app, when you search for images of a dog, your iPhone does so with ML (hence the Neural Engine.)
Initially, the Neural Engine was off-limits to third-party developers. It couldn’t be used outside of Apple’s own software. In 2018, though, Cupertino released the CoreML API to developers in iOS 11. That’s when things got interesting.
The CoreML API allowed developers to start taking advantage of the Neural Engine. Today, developers can use CoreML to analyze video or classify images and sounds. It’s even able to analyze and classify objects, actions and drawings.

Why only iCloud.? It isn’t much easier to move from google to iCloud.

Dark mode is really annoying

I’m 53 and I can’t stand non dark mode. So either I’m an outlier or your theory is wrong.

It's official: Smartphones will need to have replaceable batteries by 2027

Am I missing something? I read the European report like 8 times and no where does it mention replaced without tools. Most of it talks about controlling the lifecycle of the battery.

We need a 4th emergency service for people in crisis to just evac them from bad situations, almost like the witness protection.

It was a shame they went with such a terrible name for this. It just gave the other side way more bs talking points.
Hell the Austin Tx police department (union really) is still butt hurt that they even thought about taking away money from them that they are still refusing to respond to most calls.

[Self Promo] My Lemmy client, Bean is now available on TestFlight
Downloaded and like every app I go looking for the option to increase the font size. Sadly like most Lemmy apps this seems to not be high on the list for early releases . Can’t test it if I can barley see the text in the post and comments without squinting.
Hopefully it is high on the list of things to add. Until them it is still Memmy for me.

Goldman Sachs Wants to End Apple Partnership, American Express Might Take Over
I hope not. I just canceled my Amex platinum card because they didn’t have my back on a $33 charge back.
As much as I love my Apple Card I would probably drop it if Amex takes over.

Hard disagree. I’m on my phone while on the toilet. In the shower I have nothing but the voices in my head to listen to.

Why isn't there an end-to-end encryption standard for email so that we can get rid of fax machines?
Reply in thread
Most companies now use fax severs which use the same SIP trunks that phone calls to the business use. Even if they are using old POTS lines the fax machines themselves are usually not in a secure area, but out in the open where anyone can walk by and pick them up.
I had to have a discussion with our cyber group that didn’t understand this and insisted that we encrypt our digital fax sever. I tried many ways to convince them that it simply was not possible to encrypt faxes when we were getting or sending faxes to random people in the general population. It really tested my patience and my ability to stretch the truth so they would drop their idiotic request.
