Nothing is more annoying than when a website has broken form validation. Like for example when you paste something and then the pasted data is invalid but if you type it yourself, it's fine. Sometimes, adding and immediately removing a character triggers the validation but sometimes it does not.

In case you ever wondered how you can find out the current price of an app you bought in the past, it’s “easy”: Click on the share icon and choose “Gift App”. The dialog will show the current price in the summary at the top.

Weird question, but maybe "someone knows somebody"..
I am looking for an online shop where I can order a stamp like in the photo below that can print multiple lines of text but just one line of text at a time. The catch: I'd like to customise each line myself.
Either that's not available to order anywhere or I just don't know how to google it 😃

@evelynefoerster That looks similar but the text is fixed. What I am looking for is that kind of stamp but where I can order a different text on each line. So instead of "Eingegangen", "Beantwortet", etc. it could say "Hello World", "This is a test", etc.
So far I was only able to find stamps where the text is given and cannot be changed.

@evelynefoerster Thanks for the links, I'll have a look! :-)

Okay, I didn’t expect #5G to actually make a difference sub-6GHz. But here we are, with the fastest Speedtest I ever had on a cellphone.
Btw, this was inside a mall and I don’t even know where the tower is.

The IT of the finance world is so broken, you wouldn’t believe it! And then people wonder why I prefer cash..

I wonder when will become the standard and you don’t have to pay extra anymore to use it with some providers.. Do we have to wait for for that? 😄

That said, I do have the impression sometimes that I’m stuck with (poor) 3G coverage in the city where I believe to have had 4G before. I suspect that some 4G cells have been upgraded to 5G that I cannot use.

Why are VoIP subscriptions so expensive when for the same money you can get a SIM card with the same conditions plus a SMS flat and unlimited mobile data too?

Why is writing a working CardDAV/CalDAV server apparently so difficult? I’ve never seen an implementation that is not buggy and messes up my data. Or is it not the server and rather the clients?

lx,
@lx@swiss.social avatar

For example, contact photos disappearing or becoming a pixelated mess, random contacts appearing that cannot be deleted, reminders in calendar events getting ignored or reset to the 15min default, etc…

It’s crazy to think that there are 64 different SKUs of the new iPad Air! 4 colors, 4 storage sizes, 2 display sizes and all both WiFi-only and WiFi+cellular.

    @protonprivacy Do you also store IP addresses? Can’t they be linked to real identities as well?

    lx,
    @lx@swiss.social avatar

    @protonprivacy I thought I read somewhere in Proton’s docs that the last seen IP address is logged? Does that only apply to Proton Mail but not VPN?

    Something that bothers me a lot in Python is not really Python's fault but when I use it and make a bug and my brain immediately goes

    "Nye heh heh heh, if you just had a type system that wouldn't have happened!"

    It's just really hard to argue with "this thing that would have otherwise stopped the build and told you to fix your shit is now a runtime error that manifests under specific conditions with a client" and it's just so much wasted comms 'n' work for an easily-caught problem.

    This isn't meant to be type system propaganda or whatever, it just keeps smacking me in the face every time I go work in some dynamic language, and every time it just makes me mad. Like, yeah, I get it, I'm an idiot, but that's why we have the tool.

    To cover me being stupid.

    @thephd My bot @xkcd was originally written in Python and I had quite a few bugs which were basically founded in the same issues you describe. Then I rewrote it in Rust as my first real Rust project. In the several years it’s been running now I’ve only had one bug and that was more of a “specification problem”, in the sense that my regex wasn’t designed to handle emojis. It was quite obvious when it happened and the fix was even easier.

    @manet I don’t know if this is a known issue but I noticed (incl. in the latest version) that the text flickers when the now playing screen updates once a second.

    I hope @protonprivacy will soon add calendar/file sharing and todo lists, so I can finally get rid of my Nextcloud instance.

    Use --locked with cargo install or be prepared for random compilation errors at some point in the future.

    Example:

    @mo8it Why is --locked not the default? 🤔

    You hear artists complain that streaming does not pay enough but then they do streaming-only releases. Honestly, I gladly buy the CD, even if I will listen via streaming in the end, but it annoys me when I cannot buy all the tracks as a hard copy..

    Is there a way to disable haptic feedback during a video in the YouTube app (iOS)? It’s really annoying that the phone slightly vibrates just because a new chapter in the video started.

    Wasn't Belkin supposed to have Qi2 battery packs available in March? Is Anker still the only one offering those?

    @christianselig I got this one a while back. I don’t think it’s officially Qi2 but it wirelessly charges an iPhone with 15W and has MagSafe: https://www.ugreen.com/products/ugreen-10000mah-magsafe-wireless-power-bank

    If you share a folder in #GoogleDrive, can anybody see your other folders?

    Let’s find out.

    @protonprivacy I am just one feature short of switching to ProtonDrive: Being able to share a folder within my family long term, where each party can add/edit/delete files.
