Yeah occasionally, not super often, I wouldn’t set it to something you aren’t ok with triggering accidentally like turning on all the lights in the house or something. The back tap also doesn’t work all the time either so I’m glad for a action button as a more reliable replacement. But yeah it’s nice to have.

I have long used the double back tap to run a shortcut to set the media volume to 0 and switched it to the action button. I work in video production which involves long hours of sitting around and moments where absolute silence is crucial. This was I confirm a video isn’t going to loudly announce itself in the middle of a take. It’s also just generally useful in public.

I’m one of those monsters that upgrades every year. Have for many generations now. My 14 pro is at 95%. This is the first time I’ve had a phone go below 100% in years. I was honestly thinking of not upgrading to the 15 but the battery has been noticeably worse.

They knew it would happen. The engineering here is well established and has been for decades. Musk even tweeted that not having a flame diverter “might be a mistake”. Willful negligence.

Lol, not sure what I was expecting but I didn’t expect these typos to get funnier and funnier.

I’m a cinematographer and editor so I spend a lot of time working with tech but very specific stuff. I’m still on reddit for now. At least until Narwhal becomes prohibitive to use. Fuck Twitter and Threads.

My mother is a teacher at a private middle/high school. She has noticed, and her colleagues agree, that the new class of freshmen this year were noticeably less well behaved compared to previous years. She said they are also way less able to pick up on social cues. Keep in mind this is an expensive private school with kids that had every advantage and ability to mitigate the effects of remote schooling.

Agree!

Fuck, I hate this
