it would be nice if iWork used ODF as it’s really not productivity software if its formats are not compatible with the rest of the world no matter what OS and software one is using in c/apple_enthusiast@lemmy.world

I have used the Excel/Word/Keynote formats with iWork and it’s okay. MS Office is the de-facto standard format and recognized by Google Docs, OpenOffice, and of course MS Office.

I don’t think it’s a truly open format like ODF, but you can be sure it’ll be recognized everywhere for a long time.

Plenty of adblocker extensions on iOS Safari.

For YouTube, I’d recommend Vinegar, although the more general adblockers will also work.

NASA just scored a badly needed win: The best potential evidence of alien life yet in c/space@lemmy.world

Contrarian opinion:

Discovering that Mars once had life would be bad for NASA. It would mean that human exploration of Mars might not be allowed as it could contaminate the evidence.

And it would be terrible for humanity, according to Kurzgesagt, because it would indicate that we may soon go extinct.

Safari Private Browsing 2.0 in c/apple@lemmy.zip

Excellent writeup. It describes the privacy protections in simple terms but includes enough detail that I can understand how it’s implemented.

What ios keyboard do y'all use, and what are your opinions? in c/apple@lemmy.ml
[–] kinttach@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I use the stock keyboard. It’s terrible, but so are the alternatives, plus there are privacy concerns.

One nice thing I will say is that the word suggestions are actually good in the latest iOS since they are now based on an LLM.

Bit other than thst typing is so inaccurate taht O have to go back and corewxt nearly every word.

Swipe typing showing hello very much either. (Swipe typing doesn’t help very much either.)

I’ve been locked out of PayPal for years because of their mistake (lemm.ee)
 

About 3 or 4 years ago PayPal added the option to buy cryptocurrency, which I thought I’d try. (Dumb idea 🙄)

Part of the sign up process was glitched. I retried and clicked submit one too many times, I guess. Now I’ve been unable to use PayPal for years. They blocked me because THEIR SITE was broken, but the web page essentially accuses me of being a criminal and asks for my bank records. No way in hell.

This was just for me to pay others. I can only imagine how awful PayPal is if you are a vendor.

Fuck PayPal.

“Failed to mark post as read” errors

I see this error almost every time I open the comments on a post.

My server is lemm.ee. Does it not support the “mark as read” feature?

Apple Store across the street from an Apple Store -- are there any closer than this? (lemm.ee)

Comedian Lewis Black has a routine about “a Starbucks across the street from a Starbucks”. Apple Stores aren’t nearly as common.

Unless you’re in Glendale, California -- where Apple Glendale Galleria is across the street from Apple The Americana at Brand.

Are there any other Apple Stores this close together?

The stores are less than 150 meters apart, but unfortunately they aren’t within sight of each other. As you exit Apple The Americana at Brand, you won’t see the other Apple Store — only a notably uncrowded Samsung Experience Store.

How reliable are EV chargers? (lemm.ee)
 

New EV owner here. We charge at home so I don’t need to use them, but stores nearby have chargers. I tried them to see how they work. They are often broken.

One store has a Volta charger (free!). It worked great the first time; the next time I went it was broken.

Walmart has an Electrify America fast charger. The first time I went, 1 of 3 was not working. The next time I went, 1 of 3 was not working, but it was a different one.

Was I unlucky, or are these charging networks unreliable? Has it been getting better or worse over time?

Spoiler policy? (lemm.ee)
 

What’s the policy for this community if we want to discuss current shows? And does Lemmy have a way to mark spoilers?
