Does that actually bring up a menu, or just outright shut it down?
The two button shortcut has historically been for forcing an immediate shutdown in the event of like, a full system freeze. It’s the same as ripping the power cord from a running desktop PC, and isn’t the intended graceful shutdown that these devices are supposed to get.
Unless they’ve changed things, that’s been the standard since the first smart phones and PDAs.
I have a first gen iPod Touch somewhere in a box here. It was press once to lock and turn off screen. Hold to get power menu.
Fucking hell, Samsung? I’m typing this on a Galaxy A52 5g. Same thing. Press power to turn off the screen and lock, press and hold for power menu. They did have press and hold for bixby about a year after I bought it, which I disabled, but it wasn’t out of box default.
I’ve never encountered this multi-button power shit you’re talking about outside of old click wheel iPods, or as the force shut down option (equivalent of ripping out the cord on a desktop PC, definitively not the normal/intended power off procedure).
Don’t know what you’ve been using, but this has not been some standard thing forever.
It’s not about like or dislike. I’d have almost no complaints if they added a button or a unique gesture to open it, like they already had with holding the home button (looks like they may have removed that shortcut functionality). Or how some phones made the lock/power button touch sensitive so a touch (not press) or a swipe over it opened the assistant.
But silently changing the function of a standard piece of UI/controls that have been standard for over a decade, and common on even slide phones since the fucking pre-smart phone era?
I’m shocked that anyone actually needs this explained to them.
It would rightfully be a news story if Honda’s newest car hid the window controls behind a settings menu, and what normally were window controls (still visually the exact same and located in the standard spot on the door) raised and lowered your seat instead.
That’s all without getting into the mess that is a company trying to artificially pump user numbers of one of their products, or my personal dislike of these “assistants”.
Internal emails from Google have become public through court cases which reveal that the rumor they were making search worse intentionally is true, and it was in order to inflate their ad impression numbers. There is no reason to give them the benefit of the doubt on this, and active explicit reasons to do the opposite.
Just one big incestuous sewer orgy of anti-consumer practices!
I’m so thankful that I didn’t buy into the 3000 series hype and just bought a 2060 Super the moment one became available at MSRP after the 3000s launched. Everyone said it was a waste paying that price for less performance, but I had a card and they still didn’t 4 months later.
I’d say that the way around the shortages is to just not go for the latest and greatest new hardware, but that’s not really helpful for GPUs anymore anyway. Even the desirable last gen cards are still going for scalper prices.
Stamets has been on here, for multiple years across multiple accounts. He’s made and moderated a decent amount of communities. He’s active in the “side communities” like instance related matrix chats. His pedigree is proven.
He’s also had some pretty intense emotional moments (could call them crashouts) from time to time. He’s also done drastic detective work (with mountains of fucking receipts) on ne’er do wells in the fediverse. It’d be pretty hard to fake all of it.
He might be using a script to schedule his posts out, but I’ve not seen any floating around, and karma doesn’t accumulate here like on reddit. There’s no end game with a cash out option for “being vaguely known on the fediverse”.
Look, no one’s above skepticism or investigation, but If you’re going to go after a well known member of the community, at least bring some receipts rather than telling people to look for themselves.
Shawn!
But why is she smuggling a pumpkin in her dress?That one must be extra magic!
I think I grew mine out before 20, but it’s stayed on because it absolutely made me look older.
I tried clean shaven a few times since and I end up looking like I’m 16 again. No thanks.
This would go great in reactionmemes too.
Customizing my pet pages on neopets made my later web design classes an absolute breeze. Granted, css and js weren’t really a part of the early ones. But it still meant I had one of the core parts down.
Sit back and enjoy an evening of fine literature.
Watched everything before the gap for the “final seasons” I think the last episode was an AU of them all living happily in the more developed enemy state. Last thing I remember Eren doing is running off and becoming this big doomsday titan with an exposed multi mile ribcage thing leading a stupid big horde of titans.
Welcome to the new global military industrial complex, where Palantir masturbates using international militaries pitched against each other.
You know you can link accounts as family to share prime right? You don’t need to let her on yours. I think it’s a limit of two “adults”.
Or did someone do this and just not share it with the internet in a way that it could ever be found?
I swear the most frustrating problems I deal with at work are ones where I know someone else has dealt with this shit before, but there’s just no information out there.
I try to do my part through some other usernames, but it can also be tough to not get too specific with things and out yourself. Also, right now most of my issues are time limited, relating to Exchange Server 2019 losing support on the 14th. So by the time it’ll be safe for me to talk about how I solved certain issues, it’ll be too late to help people unless they are disasterously out of date.
Oof, I was already having trouble with the MC’s last fucking minute heel turn that didn’t seem to be built up quite enough. Guess I’ll just skip that ending.
If you’re talking about the more recent, serious show, I understand where you’re coming from, but I binged through the series a few years ago during the lockdowns and I feel like they were signposting the weird religious sort of ending the whole way.
Gaius and blondie being angels was weird as fuck, but the whole show had a pretty heavy religious undercurrent. Maybe I’m too used to time travel shenanigan stories, but the whole “it’s all kind of a loop” concept didn’t feel like an out of nowhere ass pull to me like it seemed to for a lot of people.
I used to play runescape with a neighbor from elementary school up through middle school. We even gifted each other membership a few times for birthdays.
Lost touch with him in high school, except for one time he showed off that he was up pretty high on the leaderboards and doing competitive shit.
Ran into him this weekend, it’s been like 20 years. Both had our kids out at a park. Caught up.on a bunch of stuff, but my dumb ass forgot to ask him if he still played, and what he though of the upcoming sailing skill release in Old School Runescape.
What the shit? Pressing and holding power and a volume button used to be for force shutdown. It’s been that way for over a decade! Fucking hell.
