I recommend starting with the original series or Star Trek the next generation. Picard and Discovery are probably the worst places to start.

That doesn’t say the API doesn’t work. That says the API that dev chose is for when your device is going to run heavy background tasks (processing). This API is designed to run when the device has plenty of battery or is plugged in and isn’t doing anything else. That’s not unexpected, nor is it any different from Apple apps (you don’t want spotlight indexing or photo recognition to fire when you’re low on battery or in the middle of playing a game).

Uploading photos isn’t a heavy background task. There’s gotta be a way to do upload it as you take the photo. And I’d think sending new photos to an app would be done by a push notification or would work similar to receiving new emails in the background from the many third party mail apps that do this.

Again, I want to see what the suing devs claim and what Apple counters with.

Sounds spammy.

This makes me think about the TNG episode where they originally tried to backdoor pilot a Starfleet Academy series — it was the one where Wesley and his cohorts break the rules flying shuttles or something and someone gets killed (and they lie about it). I have to wonder how that series would have turned out if it had been picked up.

I really doubt this had anything to do with it. Why would dems give a shit if Cheney was like “for gods sake vote for anyone but Trump - at least Kamala is sane”?

Probably a good idea. I wouldn’t want to deal with all the political arguments between relatives.

It’s strange that there would be so much documentation for an API that reportedly doesn’t work. Including a 2019 WWDC session explaining how to run in the background for more processor intensive tasks.

https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2019/707

There’s even a recent step by step post on Medium explaining how to implement short or long background tasks. Doesn’t say anything about it not working.

If it really doesn’t work then I’d imagine the lawsuit will be won handily. It’ll be interesting to see what becomes of this.

You should phone up Mueller and ask him.

It will depend on if Zuck has done anything to piss him off. If so he will probably give the FTC the go ahead. That’s how he operates. It’s not about what’s good for the country. It’s about quid pro quo.

They never should have let meta buy Instagram in the first place. 🤷‍♂️

At least you realize it, unlike a lot of people who sat out this last election and got us into this mess.

 

Are there any good iOS apps for rating songs while they play in Plex on the TV? I can’t find a way to rate songs using an AppleTV and its remote.

I did try the Plex app on the phone, but you have to leave it as the frontmost app or it will disconnect by the next time you open it (app flushes/sleeps). If it doesn’t disconnect then instead you get a mismatch of what’s playing and what can be rated (album art/track name/rating pane don’t match). There’s also no widgets from the app to do this from on iOS.

Or is there a web app I can run on the server and connect to from the phone’s web browser to rate items as they play?

 

So I had to pull up some huge rosemary plants in the front yard to have some plumbing work done. I noticed that the rosemary I’ve bought to replace it has completely different leaves. The old plant was more like an evergreen with oily needle-like leaves. The new plant has soft flat leaves but still smells like rosemary.

Are these two plants actually related? Are they both edible? The “evergreen” One was fairly hearty and grew quickly. Will the other variety act the same?

 

I swear I’d watch more of the ad-supported content on Plex if it didn’t stop every ten minutes to show four minutes of commercials. I hope they are making some money from this deal, but I doubt it. Most of this content is available from other ad supported streamers with about 1/4 of the commercials. So why would anyone watch this?

 

“Just seven electric-vehicle (EV) charging stations have begun operating with funding from a $5-billion U.S. government program created in 2021, marking "pathetic" progress, a Democratic senator said on Wednesday.”

Sounds too good to be true, but article says a small version is already shipping in a wearable. Seen so many of these “new battery tech” articles, but so few actually end up shipping.

 

Awesome if true.
