For some people (me), that’s a feature. Maybe I’m just old now, but I don’t have time to customize everything like I used to.
I see my phone as a tool, and I kind of like the comfort of having a standard ui/ux.
If I want to really dig in, I’ll grab a laptop with a real terminal (OpenBSD being my personal tool of choice 😀).
Why would you think that?
I know on paper the 15 pro is such a slight bump from the 14 pro, but I am enamored with it for my use-case: taking pictures with gloves on!!!
It’s so hard to get Siri or the touchscreen to work in brutal winter conditions, and the button is such a huge win for me.
Kudos to everyone hacking on it with shortcuts!
Now if only I can convince corporate to let us deploy faster rather than trying to make everything bomb-proof on the first try.
This is a quality shitpost!
I would assume over time the 3rd party modems get more efficient as well, though? Does anyone know if improvements have been made in the last 3 generations of iPhones?
Hopefully this is the beginning of the end for all the awful endpoint protection corporate entities often require.
Welcome to the internet!
I do think social media (or becoming a carrier of other people’s data) is incredibly difficult. How do you moderate? How much liability do you take on? etc. I’m very interested to see how this gets tackled over time in the Fediverse.
As a workaround, there are wireless adapters for carplay.
Thanks for the reply. Yeah - for example have some documentaries of friends I’d like to share that are multi-GB, and not that “streamable” on slow connections.
I also really don’t need another server to manage right now :)
What about if you want to serve adaptive bitrate content (eg. 4k on a fast connection and 720p on a slower one). The best solution I’ve run across so far (posted in another comment) is encoding locally to MPEG-DASH and using dash.js from the browser to let people view the file.
I guess this has some issues if users want to download it, but I’m really just looking for a quick way to view it in the browser.
It also looks like MPEG-DASH isn’t supported by iPhones yet, but everyone else supports it (and MSE might be supported in iOS 17, rounding out browser support).
It’s worth mentioning that my primary use-case is for lemmy posts. I currently see a lot of people linking to streamable.com, but I’m not interested in using that service.
It’s also a “feature” for me in that older relatives’ phones work the exact same 😂
I do understand what you’re saying though, and don’t disagree!
