It would probably be an important step, considering the article is about AirPod 4 boxes.

I live in the PNW. Every election cycle I get massive amounts of Arizona conservative text spam. How do I make it stop? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

That’s how it SHOULD work. But I’ve replied with just stop or unsubscribe depending on their chosen system’s keyword. I just received a nearly identical message from a different number. Maybe Nancy Pelosi and Hakeem Jeffries were just determined at that time, but it definitely wasn’t handled the way it should have been.

Google Maps tests new pop-up ads that give you an unnecessary detour in c/technology@lemmy.world

Same here. I have been happy with Apple Maps.

I was an early adopter for Waze and helped them build and fix their maps. I loved Waze. Several months after Google bought Waze, I repeatedly noticed battery draining faster and location was more frequently being used by Waze. I wrote to them about it. After some time passed and no response or change, I ditched them.

Doesn’t Google Maps show trends instead of live numbers?

Edit: I used “numbers” because I wasn’t sure how to end my question. Stats? Values?

Also for the record, I have experienced an 8GB Mac Mini run Firefox with at least 20 tabs, Jetbrains Rider with code open and editable, Jetbrains DataGrip with queries, somehow Microsoft Teams, MS Outlook and didn’t seem to have a problem. Was also able to share the screen on a Teams call and switch between the applications without lag.

Their kids died after buying drugs on Snapchat. Now the parents are suing in c/technology@lemmy.world

[–] howlingecko@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Perhaps SnapChat files a counter suit on the parents for buying their kid a smartphone, paying for service, and not putting parental controls on the device to keep them from using apps that they don’t want their kid accessing
