Thanks, it looks like it could be something but it only has DOCSIS 3.0, I will need to check if that’s enough.

I would like to just buy a modem but somehow I can’t find any cable modems in Germany. There are a few I could import from Amazon US but they apparently don’t support EuroDOCSIS. I used to have one from Cisco, provided by the ISP, that worked perfectly but with a contract change they demanded it back (a condition they did not tell me about and I’m still angry about that).

Oh man that would be amazing. My ISP at some point stopped giving out modems with the internet contract and instead only offers these shitty routers with integrated modems. I read somewhere that you can still get a modem if you asked. So I called and spend 15 minutes trying to describe the difference between a router and a modem and gave up.

Presliced bread goes bad quicker and I also prefer a different slice thickness than what is usually offered. I don’t understand why it’s seen as such an achievement.

I was thinking Sim City 2000

Third result in DDG.

I don’t know how the contracts look but games on Apple Arcade get support years after release. It does work somehow.

There is a difference when you show things getting crushed „for science“ and showing basically a whole room of tools for creativity being crushed to replace it with a cold, flat digital device. Especially now that AI is threatening to replace many creative jobs, this is just bad timing. Ads are also statements.

I hope it was all CGI because my first thought was, what a waste of beautiful, fully intact things. I personally don’t like seeing those videos on Youtube either.

That’s what you get for voting None

I don’t know, I’m more of the opinion that everyone should do a competence test or something before they are even allowed to vote.

Ah this is why they started showing screensavers now in the pause screen on the Apple TV app. They just needed this feature to bother people even more. Well, I won’t see it since I made the deal with the devil half a year ago and got Premium and I think it’s actually worth the money considering it’s my most watched streaming service by far.

It was always hard for developers to offer one-time payment in these low price ranges. People still expect constant development and get angry when you release a completely new app for version 2 and so on. It’s rare that this price model works. Things 3 is 6 years old and still great but for each device you pay a relatively high price up front and development is kinda slow. They made an amazing app from the start and there is not much more to expect, so that’s why people are happy. But I think they hit a niche with people wanting exactly that and nothing more. But I think these are the best apps because they make sure to release a complete product.

These apps do exist but they can’t be found in the hot mess that is the App Store front page. You kinda have to stumble over them.

I’m also not a fan of subscriptions. I understand why devs do it but many times they feel obligated to release new features and change everything which just makes the app more bloated. Or the apps are not really updated but you pay for the content, which is mostly the same stuff you can find for free somewhere else.

Wow thank you I did not know that! I’ve used Quickscan so far, which is fine, but even that is too much overhead for my purpose.

Like so many things in their portfolio… It seems like only a handful of people work there.

If you’re not using iTunes it’s garbage. I don’t want a library that’s separate from Apple Music. Every time I want to get to an artist from an album that I added to my library (so I can access it quicker). If I click the artist there I only see a list of tracks from that artist I have saved. I have to click on a tiny button “show album in Apple Music” and there I can click on the artist to see everything that’s available. Somehow it’s not that complicated on iOS. On Mac it still feels like two apps stuck together with ductape.

I like the iOS version but on Mac it really sucks. They need to get rid of the old iTunes baggage and completely rebuild the app.

This is fun! Unfortunately it’s always overwritten by someone else. I guess too many people playing at the same time?
