[…] so why were only Apple phones affected?

The answer, it seems, is because Apple recently defected from traditional quartz-based clocks in its phones in favor of clocks that are also made of MEMS silicon. Given that clocks are the most critical device in any computer and are necessary to make the CPU function, their disruption with helium atoms is enough to crash the device.

In this case, the leaking helium from the MRI machine infiltrated the iPhones like a “tiny grain of sand” and caused the MEMS clocks to go haywire.

RESUSCITATE! RESUSCITATE!

Why do you think they’re called D batteries? 😏

Sorry, I thought I was replying in the technology community where this same post was made. Apple posts there are either harshly criticized or often downvoted.

If you haven’t realized it by now, Lemmy is largely anti-Apple. Why people might expect a positive discussion about Apple outside of an Apple-oriented community, I know not.

I tried it out today! Works decently with most apps, but lags a bit with others. I’ve run into one app that doesn’t scroll vertically, but hopefully that is an easy fix on the developer’s part.

Dang it. I’m pretty sure my aunt is using an iPhone 8. Fingers crossed she upgrades this year!

I checked my group chat and noticed that it only shows SMS despite the whole Android-side of the group all showing RCS in their individual chats. Is this the intended implementation?

I’m guessing that the iPhones in the group also need to be upgraded to iOS 18 for it to work correctly.

Please, no sniffscriptions.

I’d eat that in a heartbeat.

Nice! The old photos feature in the main app felt too bloated so I stopped using it. Hopefully this one’s snappier cause I’ve been looking for a good way to access my old photos again.

If I knew you locally, I’d be open to giving it away. But with the cost of shipping even light usb cables, I think buying a UGREEN cable from Amazon might cost about the same.

For me this would mostly be a non-issue. I’ve got enough extra USB-C cables that I don’t even unwrap the ones Apple has been shipping. Not to mention that I’m pretty used to charging my AirPods via MagSafe these days anyway.

Tooting the way you’d toot a horn/trumpet, or in this case an elephant trunk.

I do vaguely remember that. Could be?

I can definitely follow his logic, but there are better tools available.

I can follow and see content from both accounts via the Ice Cubes app.

EDIT: I just realized you can’t see the posts in your timeline. I can only see as far as 2 days ago via my app, so unless you’re able to post an image more recent I can’t help out. Sorry!

I have a friend that I’ve tried to convince using a notes app, but he swears that emailing himself notes and to-do lists is more effective. He’s wrong, but to each their own.

I guess this ties into marketing, but I think rebranding the “fediverse” as the “social web” would be a good start. It has a broad neutral tone that I think is easier for regular people to latch on to.

I use it on occasion between Mastodon and Bluesky. My initial reaction was that I needed to organize my follows better so content wasn’t duplicating in the merged feed.
