I’ll have to give it another go. When I tried it before I didn’t think it was any better than Memmy

I’ve tried about 5-6 different ones and they all try to replicate Apollo. Memmy is probably the best of them in my opinion but none of them are as good as narwhal was for Reddit. I don’t understand the fascination for Apollo. Why we need 6 different Lemmy apps that are all very similar doesn’t make sense to me.

Your first comment was about a family of devices and now you only talk about the iPhone….because that’s the only device that has an open source alternative. Google/android/chrome offerings to every other category are worse than apples offerings, stuff is half baked. I’m all for open source but there is no denying how smooth all of apples devices just work with each other. That means something too. Not being open source do not equal bad automatically either.

I personally don’t care about taking source code and compiling it or installing custom roms. I have other hobbies that take my time. I want a devices that work 99% of the time without effort straight from the box.

If you enjoy non-apple products that’s great but this place just feels like the early days of Reddit where everyone is so anti-Apple because it’s cool. They do some shitty things (like basically every company ever) but they also do some really cool things too, like a family of 6 different products working seamlessly together.

So cringey. Some people do like Apple products. Nothing beats the Mac/macbook, Apple Watch, iPad or AirPods in their respective categories. Android and iPhone are basically feature wise the same so get what you like.

But, how is it any different than being vendor locked into android with their wearables or tablets or chromebooks? Apple made an ecosystem that works well together. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean it’s bad.

That number probably exists with every area code so you could just use your local one if you don’t know.

Just like the war on drugs. We locked up so many people for smoking a joint or having a speck of cocaine on them. As if these are the people who are a danger to society (most of the time).

My phone feels about the same but watchOS 10 wrecked my Apple Watch. I used to end the day at 30-40% and now it’s barely hanging on by 7pm

I think the Firewalla may be able to broadcast WiFi (I’m not sure) but it doesn’t matter much to me because it’s tucked away in my utility room. I need a couple AP’s for my upstairs for all my wireless devices.

I’ll take a look at ubiquiti. I like to tinker but I don’t think my wife will like the internet cutting in and out while I try to figure out how to set it up or troubleshoot something.

And expecting our government to have the knowledge to regulate is crazy. I agree with you but our current government doesn’t have the slightest clue what technology is.

Doesn’t matter to me. I have like 10 different credit cards to get the best cash back depending where I’m shopping. Currently the best I get at Microsoft would be 2% so this is a pretty sweet card.
