I have only one Apple device and nothing else. I wanted to update the notifications email for my Apple account.

I open my AppleID in a web page of Safari on my iPhone.

I follow these steps :

1 Log in to appleid.

2 Select "Sign-in and Security"

3 Select"Notification Email" (the defunct email is displayed)

4 Select "Change Email"

5 Enter a new valid email address in the modal popup.

6 Click continue. The following message is displayed:

"Continue on one of your devices On an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch go to Settings > Apple ID. On a Mac go to System Preferences or System Settings > Apple ID."

When I look in Settings > AppleID ON THE DEVICE there is no option anywhere to change notification email … 🤷🏻‍♂️

People have been posting about this on the official Apple support forum for years with no solution mentioned.

Siri getting dumber lately?
  • All of the digital assistants appear to be degrading to me. I suspect directing consumers to paid ‘AI’ versions which allegedly work, are the corporate plan.

    'Separated from reality': Trump said to be struggling to come to grips that he may lose
  • He’s motivated by Attention, Grifting and not going to jail.

    He will throw GOP & the cult under the bus by dropping out after he’s finished strip mining them of every penny and seek a pardon in exchange for a promise to call off the cult.

    Like Nixon he will do anything to avoid jail

    Linux kernel impacted by new SLUBStick cross-cache attack

    A novel Linux Kernel cross-cache attack named SLUBStick has a 99% success in converting a limited heap vulnerability into an arbitrary memory read-and-write capability, letting the researchers elevate privileges or escape containers.

    The discovery comes from a team of researchers from the Graz University of Technology who demonstrated the attack on Linux kernel versions 5.9 and 6.2 (latest) using nine existing CVEs in both 32-bit and 64-bit systems, indicating high versatility.

    File Manger for iPhone/iPad?
  • Yes, I tested the ‘Go’ version which allows 3 day trial before levying a subscription.

    Based on that I purchased the ‘Pro’ version as it meets my needs well and I hate farking subscriptions lol

    • Beware there are imitators with almost identical app names and identical app descriptions.

    You want the app by Stratospherix

  • Inequality in Australia is growing and is driven by the rapid accumulation of wealth by the very wealthy.

    The wealth of Australia’s richest 200 people nearly tripled over the last two decades. In 2020-21, capital gains exceeded all other types of income combined. Tax reform is needed to address this problem.

  • ‘File Browser’ looks promising. Comes in 3 versions, less featured one off purchase, full featured subscription version (Go) or full featured one off purchase (Pro).

    Has been in the App Store many years, still in active development. Affordable. Will probably plump for this if nothing better is suggested.

    • This is the app by Stratospherix. There are imitators in the App Store

  • Thank you very much for your suggestion. This looks like a more reasonably priced solution. After re-reading the description I note the developers say that it EXTENDS the iOS Files app, in other words I can access files already present ‘on your phone’.

  • One thing I’ve taken for granted on other platforms is simple batch operations. Want to rename MORE THAN one file? I’m SOL on the Apple Files app.

    I make do with (buggy) homebrew shortcuts at the moment for such things.

    Possible to have Apple Maps always avoid a certain location?
  • Waze has a toggle called ‘avoid difficult intersections’.

    Additionally, Waze has crowd sourced real time traffic hazard reporting (every Waze user can contribute).

  • iOS App Store seems to have about nine hundred ‘file managers’ all of which are anything but and demand ridiculous subscription costs.

    Is there a decent file manager for iOS that actually will do file management things like select multiple file & rename etc that isn’t a scammy subscription/Ad ridden mess?

    *Yes, I’m aware Files app is provided by Apple, but it’s extremely basic.

    has anybody fully abandoned Android, for anything other than iOS?
  • Well, apart from the fact that it’s NOT Google, (which I used for over a decade), the big selling point for a small business person is EMAIL. Apple do a good job of Email/Contacts/Calendar/File whereas Android struggles. Try accessing a third party Exchange email account on Android … yikes!

    iCloud offers cheap reliable multi domain email hosting and the iOS Mail client sucks less than any other mobile email clients, at least in my experience.

    I perceive Apple as, at least, a little more respectful of my privacy than Alphabet which is up there with Meta in profligate privacy abuse.

    Another consideration is I can rely on Apple to keep incrementally improving devises/OS’s whereas Alphabet has become much less reliable in terms of introducing services then capriciously terminating those services. Every Android handset is a bespoke experience…

    I use Linux (Debian Stable) on my desktop & BSD on my Servers.

    I would love to use a mobile device running an open source OS such as Linux, it’s not viable yet.

  • Caveat for anyone being influenced by the long political intro trying to convince folks to install Debian based Mint over Ubuntu based Mint:

    "There’s a few final things to note about Linux LMDE 6 that may be of interest. Firstly, if you’re looking explicitly for a DE that supports Wayland instead of X11 then Linux Mint of any flavor isn’t going to meet your needs. Linux Mint LMDE 6 (and Mint main) with Cinnamon uses X11 exclusively, and Cinnamon support for Wayland isn’t there yet. If you’re looking for Wayland support, you’re pretty much limited to GNOME 3 and KDE at this time and distros other than Mint will serve you better in this regard.

    Another thing of note is that the LMDE version of Mint specifically, including Faye, does not have the same third party driver helper tool that is present in the main version of Mint based on Ubuntu. While the 6.1 branch of the Linux kernel brings even more hardware support to LMDE 6, there are still times when you may require or prefer to use third party proprietary drivers for certain hardware. If that’s the case, you’re on your own to install those manually in LMDE."
