They tested on release (it passed), they then re-tested recently (it failed)

What’s the Bare Minimum Number of People for a Mars Habitat? (www.universetoday.com)

A recent preprint paper examines the minimum number of people required to maintain a feasible settlement on Mars while accounting for psychological and behavioral factors, specifically in emergency situations. This study was conducted by a team of data scientists from George Mason University and holds the potential to help...

“In the end, they determined that a minimum colony population of 22 agents was ideal to maintain a feasible Mars mining colony over the long-term.”

I’ll probably buy one or two of the lightning usb-c adapters to use for a while to allow charging when travelling without extra cables.

There is a checkbox

revs,

Now part of me wants to wait for USB-C. The other part of me knows I have a lightning phone that I’ll be keeping for 3 more years. I feel like maybe lightning would be better until I get a USB-C phone.

I bought a few from Next, and although they were cheap, I can’t see them lasting as long as my superdry tshirts.

I might try the M&S ones next.

The superdry T-shirts might be expensive, but when they last way longer it ends up being better and less wasteful. Still, I think there’s probably a better compromise on cheaper and still decent long lasting quality.

revs,

Not surprised after the the main VS Mac developer left MS a few months ago.

revs,

It’s been explained a few times so I won’t repeat what others have said.

But I actually wish App-Clips were more common. I hate having to download a whole app for a one time payment for some company.

I did finally see one for a car park the other day.

I’ve only ever seen one when I’ve been pretty close to the merchant.

This is just a coincidence and not an ad. You happen to be very near that location. As I say I’ve only ever seen one when I’ve been within meters of a merchant that had one. I assume it’s Bluetooth range.

revs,

Only to remove a small ad. And as it’s a podcast player, you listen, and don’t really see the Ad ever.

revs,

Not surprising. It’s not as if companies only start on the next version once the current one is out. Things like this need planning years in advance. I think I heard on the ATP podcast that Apple are already planning and working on what the M7 will be.

Just because they are testing the M4/M5 doesn’t mean it’s ready, or can be fabricated at scale for an acceptable cost just yet.

revs,

Hopefully this becomes standard. Looks like Apple were looking into it too

Is a Mac more than a big iPhone? (Serious post)

So, I have an iPhone, which I like, but we use Windows and Linux computers in our household. I’d never seen a Mac boot up until the other day after a friend gave me their old Mac Mini. I was excited to check it out, got it all set up and logged in – but it really just seemed like a giant iPhone regarding what it did and...

revs,

All Apple devices run variants of the same software, so of course they have a consistent UI.

It’s a desktop OS, the same as Windows and Linux.

I’m not sure what you expected, can you elaborate?

revs,

I’ve started to upgrade when iOS updates stop. As the cost of devices goes up, I just keep them longer so the cost per year is about the same.

revs,

10 years of support. Not bad.

Just install Linux on it (if this is what she wants, regardless of if you think it’s better) or find a M1 MacBook Air for 7-800 if she wants a Mac.

I have a 2012 laptop, and upgraded to the M1 Air. Using the old machine is painful now, I didn’t realise how slow it was.

10-11yrs from a laptop is pretty great. I wouldn’t call it planned obsolescence.

What would you recommend as a first Apple Watch?

I have an iPhone, iPad and AirPods but I’ve never used an Apple Watch. My main uses at least at first would be to monitor heart rate when exercising and record lifting routines at the gym via Strong app. I use my iPhone at the gym now and find it a hassle to take in and out of my pocket to record reps. I’ve been looking at...

I have the original SE, it’s still amazing. I do kinda wish I had the AOD though.

revs,

I’ve been using Wipr, but the cookie notice blocking is breaking quite a few sites now

revs,

Oh I own that, but haven’t used it in years. I’ll give it another go

revs,

As others have pointed out:

  1. It’s still pretty early. Many devs might not be very far along.
  2. There aren’t many locations. You have to travel to California, London, etc
revs,

Yep. Hit space bar and use quick look.

revs,

I don’t think it’s really that “iOS”-Ified

Yes there are some similarities, but I think that’s fine. Makes sense that all their products are alike.

revs,

I am tempted by APP2, but I keep seeing stores about reliability. And that puts me off 🙁

I feel like when I browse All I still just see the same 20 posts

Have you replaced your iPhone battery, and was it worth it?

I’ve had an iPhone 12 mini since launch and the battery life has become pretty abysmal. However, I’m reluctant to replace it with a newer, bigger model. My battery health is sitting at 86%, which really doesn’t sound that bad, but I feel like the actual battery life is way worse than when I bought it. Has anyone replaced...

revs,

Yes, usually after a couple of years. The battery health sometimes says the battery is ok, but I see a clear improvement from a new one.

revs,

I would guess it’s because this is supposed to be an open standard. Anyone should be allowed to use it.

Imagine if gmail users could only email other gmail users. If email servers didn’t all talk to each other. This is similar.

If Threads uses ActivityPub then it should be available.

But I completely get the Embrace, Extend, Extinguish fear.

Edit: I guess thread is more suited to mastodon, not Lemmy, but same argument

revs,

Not a native app, but i’m using the wefwef web app, and it’s pretty awesome and getting multiple updates a day.

It’s a web based clone of Apollo
