Tablets should be called Megaphones
  • I'm pretty sure you can get cell data on iPads now, it's pretty interesting that you can't make calls with them even when they have sim cards (or eSim)

    A quick search says they can only do wifi calling by relaying your iPhone to your iPad

  • The big trap that guy made that snares the bug and hits it with 4 sticks is so unnecessary but the concept is so funny to me, especially because the pattern of stick hitting swaps every now and then

    Thwap Thwap Thwap

  • I didn't see the farmer until the second time I saw this in my feed

    I only saw the hoe by itself and thought that was the joke lmao

    Just browsing my photos from 10 years ago. I was amused when I browsed the university library computer science artificial intelligence shelf. ...I sometimes wish AI had stayed at this level.
  • I personally like AI in its current state, still goofy and not a valid replacement for people. I definitely don't like that all of these corporations are justifying their billions in spending by forcing it into any and every app they can think of!

    Why do I need Gemini to suggest a list of items I'm gonna need in my notes app that I likely opened to create a list of things I knew I already needed?

    iPhone 16 is here, but I’m hyped for just one reason: RCS on iOS 18
  • At least with Google messages, you can still send normal SMS if your RCS chat can't go through. I think there's an option for it to automatically resend as SMS if RCS fails, too.

    I guess there's no way of knowing if SMS will eventually drop out of fashion, but it would be good to keep around so it probably will stay around as a back up

    Edit: well, I didn't see the other response say basically what I said, oops

  • As my eyes scanned from top to bottom I felt an immense sense of dread

    Here were my emotions in the form of emoji 😐 😐 🙁 ☹️

    The worst of both worlds
  • All I wanted was for 3/4 of the main characters to be normal Minecraft skins, such as the shrimp series of skins, and the 4th to be some horrendous creation that only Satan himself would use on Minecraft. They then proceed to play bedwars with actual 8 year olds and lose.

    Was that too much to ask, Microsoft?!?

    Every time someone asks me the make and model, I give a puzzled look
  • Generally you can pretty accurately estimate the years (and make) of cars, due to the design preferences of the time

    A 2003 Toyota Tacoma is very recognizable because of the simple and bubbly design a lot of late 90's and early 2000's cars had (coincidentally my least favorite time period of car design)

    Of course there's also just a lot of stuff you pick up by seeing a car you don't recognize, researching it, and mentally noting the differences for the next time you see one!

  • I'm not sure when this actually started, but it's been mildly annoying. I'm not able to find any results online about what causes it, or how to fix it.

    In the case of the screenshot, it appears when I click the "Health" tab of Wintoys. This error also sometimes shows up when opening the Settings app, and every time I launch Forza Horizon 5. The error always shows 3 times, one after another, then as far as I can tell nothing else happens.

    From my research it has something to do with updating, but I'm not sure why it tries to load it in Horizon 5.

    Steps I've taken (not in this specific order)

    • Tried every built in file system/windows error checker (found no errors)

    • Tried copying over an "older" version of the DLL from a previous update stack (required SYSTEM permissions, so didn't press further)

    • Tried repairing using Windows Installation Media ("couldn't repair")

    • Tried updating windows (no luck)

    I'm trying here because I'm hoping maybe there are some helpful anecdotes that might be able to fix it! I am using a Ryzen 7 5800X, just in case this is caused by an incompatibility that I don't know about. I can provide more specs/information if needed :)

    Edit: reformatted the steps I took, since it looks like it turned into a big wall of text (at least on Sync)

    Edit 2: added the edit text 🤫

    Is there anyone else that isn't on Samsung or using the Samsung APK of Google Messages that actually HAS customizable bubbles?

    I'm on a Pixel 7 Pro and have been waiting for customizable bubbles. I've tried the debug values but I only have "bugle" flags and "device country". I've also tried installing the beta version, uninstalling the beta, and downloading the latest APK and manually installing it.

    I personally don't like the massive header added by the Samsung APK so I've stayed with the pixel variant.

    Not entirely sure if this fits here, but it's development related

    Identified by Google lens, so let me know if it got it wrong 👽

    Rest assured, I did a double take, a cartoon eye rub, and yes, my eyes popped out of my head when I saw it

    Mostly because I never expected to see one in person or in my city

    Hey everyone! I thought I'd post this here since the android beta only has 18 subscribers on Lemmy.

    I recently downloaded the Android 14 QPR, and in the update message it claimed I could opt out without wiping my phone before "applying" the update. I did opt out, but after beginning the download. After the download and installation, my phone wants to download the stable release of Android 13 and do a full wipe. I assumed "applying" meant actually installing the update rather than downloading.

    Is there any way to get around this, or did I just misunderstand the message and opt out in the wrong order and essentially screw myself?

    Yeah, I asked a really dumb question in hindsight
