Apparently AirPods Pro 3 gained support for Lossless audio thanks to a new "SPR AVS" audio protocol (Spatial Relay Audio-Video Sync). Works only with the iPhone 17 thanks to the new modem Apple built.
Too bad I decided to flip the switch on my iPhone the other day to downgrade from lossless music because I only ever use wireless headphones. 😢 #Apple #AirPodsPro3

Some other possibly useful context re: iPhone, satellite, and Starlink I just learned.
Apparently this is a carrier thing, not Apple. Some recent iPhones have the ability to reach out to satellites in an emergency, but I guess *which* satellites is designated by your carrier.
The Starlink change was a choice/partnership by T-Mobile. I guess TMO customers are the only ones connecting to Starlink, only in an emergency, if we leave this setting on.

I *believe* the phone never attempts to talk to a satellite unless you truly get out of range of any local cell towers, even ones off network. We might need some #infosec folks to confirm that.
There are some options in Settings > Emergency SOS (near the bottom), but none of them completely disable the feature. They only disable the extra triggers available to initiate a call when you are in various forms of distress (like hold the side + volume button to initiate a satellite call).

There is a very good reason why it is useful to #vote early.
1:30 video. TL;DW: Once you vote, it's in the system that you voted. Then voting organizations know to spend their resources elsewhere on people who have not voted yet, instead of on people who intend to vote but are just waiting, for whatever reason.
If you can vote early, whether by mail or local place, please consider doing so.

It doesn't matter anymore if some of your audience or customers or favorite people are there. Twitter has devolved into a place wholly in support of fascism and oligarchy.
From the macro to micro, whether it's malicious leadership or ostensibly 'small' policy changes like this. Twitter is not a social media platform anymore. Top to bottom, it is a vehicle for fascism.

Friend mentions a surprise situation and trying the new #AirPods Pro feature where you can move your head to respond to Siri with 'yes' and 'no' to certain commands and situations. They were pleasantly surprised, FWIW.
Astonished, I quip that this must mean AirPods have gyroscopes in them.
Another friend chimes in that yes, because Spatial Audio.
Y'all, it's kind of amazing to think tons of people have one of these in their ears now, including me!

Question for #iOS folks: Is there a way to toggle my display to remain on and unlocked?
I set my iPad to lock after 5 minutes, iPhone after 2 minutes. But occasionally I want to keep the device on and unlocked indefinitely when, for example right now, I am waiting in a chat queue for customer support on my iPad, sitting next to me on my L desk while I do other stuff.
Is there a Shortcut? A Control Center widget? An obscure Siri command? Or do I have to dig into Settings every time? #Apple

I laughed way too hard at this

On a car ride earlier today, my wife, a friend, and I discussed Bill Withers. I do not listen to him, I don’t listen to artists adjacent to him, he is not in my music library, I have never watched a YouTube video of or related to his music. And yet I turned on #YouTube just now and it recommends a Bill Withers video to me.
I have zero proof of this. But there is no conclusion that makes a lick of sense other than these apps are listening when they should not and do not have permission.

- A pitch deck leaked from marketing company Cox Media Group (CMG) boasts about its “Active Listening" tech - software that can listen to you through your phone
- CMG lists Facebook, Google, and Amazon as clients **of this technology**
- Stop telling us these companies "don't need to listen to you because they can triangulate blah blah whatever”
- These companies are TELLING US they listen to us through apps like #Facebook

#Microsoft Remote Desktop is being rebranded to “Windows App” and I am once again begging Microsoft to reassign the entire team that has named stuff for, like, the past three decades to ANY OTHER PART OF THE COMPANY BESIDES NAMING STUFF

#Apple question: Anyone have recommendations for a simple task manager that:
- Uses iCloud for sync (No exceptions!)
- Supports multiple lists
- Can flag/star important tasks
- Has an iPad version
- Paid is fine
I already use Things 3 for personal and work stuff. But I'm trying to replace 2Do for my gaming needs, which still somehow does not support iCloud.
Yes I use a task app to track some light gaming tasks like weapons I'm hunting or quests to complete don't judge me

Could you log out or go incognito, visit the account, and grab them that way?

The Lincoln Project does not fuck around with its response response to #Trump’s C&D

Weird that #Trump would call #Kamala a ‘beautiful woman’ (and then of course stumble and sort of walk it back or whatever)
I could be wrong, but to me she doesn’t look at all like his daughter.

And that is basically the definition of sealioning, by the way: hopping into a conversation, even if well intentioned (although sealioning often isn’t), with a comment that is not actually related to the conversation.
To be painfully clear: I don’t think anyone is disbelieving your experience, and we aren’t getting into it now. It is besides the point. That conversation was/is about the challenges black people have on Mastodon, and the frustrations they’ve had in trying to fix them.

I’ll take a shot at answering this, even though I shouldn’t: the response you gave here was out of place and unhelpful: https://linuxrocks.online/@yisraeldov/112876942259859826
A black Mastodon user was talking about the well documented problems, hostilities, and frustrations that black users uniquely experience in the fediverse. Hopping in with “I’ve experienced racism too!” doesn’t help, and came off as if you were trying to redirect or derail the conversation away from the black experience.

Hyundai Tuscon has a couple software updates. Cool, download the first one.
It wants a thumb drive with SIXTY FOUR GIGABLURTZ OF SPACE. And no, the updater does not seem to accept the external, port-powered 2TB SSD I plugged in and formatted. Some way, somehow, it wants a thumb drive
I have macOS recovery drives that aren’t even half that large
