@gamingonlinux Does this mean that I'll finally be able to play #StardewValley on my #iPhone or #iPad with mods?

IOS 18.4 has serious touch detection problems especially in mail. Tapping is often undetected making mail unusable. Now it’s a problem in other apps. Seems iPhone only.

I can’t get #Apple #Health to measure my cardio fitness, even with 20 minute workouts etc. It hasn’t updated since December. Anyone else having issues? #ios #iphone #applewatch

I'm thinking of getting an #iPhone 11 to hold me over until #Apple completes Siri Intelligence features. I feel like iPhone 16, 17 and potentially 18 are gonna be outdated quite fast.

My stress level was much lower this week than it was last week. The difference was that I swapped my #iPhone out for my Light Phone. No feeds, ads, AI suggestions, social media, apps, or room for #enshittification.

#lightphone #dumbphone #minimalist

@ACuppaTea I’ve thought about getting one but I think I’m just going to strip down the #iphone. I really wanted an iPhone mini, so I may look for one of those for when I need a detox.

I just dropped off my phone at a random guy's house for him to repair my charging port.

As an elder millennial, meeting strangers off the internet in the 90s was strange but kinda normal for kids our age.

Kinda felt like that today after searching for local phone repair. Just a dude in his home fixing phones.

He's only gonna find cute photos of my kid and an awesome gallery of action figures. Maybe a sad collection of fitness apps that were never opened...

My country (#UnitedKingdom/#UK) had #Apple disable #DataProtection for #iCloud. I'm at a predicament.

I've always been using #iPhone and I don't want to switch to #Android or anything else.

I like #LinuxMobile too but it's too lacking. Messing with it, I'm fine. Daily use, I'm not sure.

I really want to pull everything off of iCloud even though it's where my self-made music lives and is played from. I can't put it somewhere else where I can access it anywhere at any time.

What do I do?

Apple Is Probably Planning to Make Its Own WiFi Chip For the iPhone 17

I recently drove a car whose whole control and entertainment system was a gigantic iPad-like thing mounted to the dash. It caused me to have a realisation about the #Ui and #UX of touch screens.

There is no way to touch a touchscreen without it treating that touch as intentional. What I mean is: without taking my eyes off the road, I can grope across the dashboard, find a knob or button—by touching it—without activating any function. Touching the volume button or temperature knob doesn’t DO anything until I do it with more force and intentionality. Not so for a #touchscreen.

My mobile #phone (an #iPhone 13) has no dead space in its face. There’s no part of the phone face I can touch without it assuming I meant to do that and I wanted to activate whatever was under my finger. Old iPhones that had physical home buttons also had dead space to either side: a safe space to hold the phone without DOING anything.

Computer keyboard have little raised pips on the F and J keys so you can find them by touch without looking. I do this all the time. But I don’t type the letters F or J. Touch screens have no such affordances.

I look at the #blackberry keyboard in this photo and I see a raised space bar. It’s an #affordance that lets you orient your fingers, and orient how you hold the phone, without looking.

I miss buttons.
