Apple

There was a post recently for how to bypass paywalls and one of the suggestions was to prefix 12ft.io to the url.

So I created a shortcut in iOS to do just that and that can be used directly in Safari from the share sheet.

Instead of sharing the shortcut through iCloud, I’ve posted the screenshot here so you can create your own. After creating the shortcut, click on the Share button on any website with a paywall, select the shortcut name, and the website would open in a new window without the paywall.

That's the original title they published, it was renamed later.

Is it any good? How is the stability?

Hi All, I’m a quite new and delighted user of a HomePod. I listen often to a very large public radio in Belgium: « RTBF La Premiere », and wish to listen to it on the HomePod even if my iPhone is not around.

The radio, despite being well known, is not displayed in Apple Music (from my understanding because they are not on TuneIn, but I might be wrong). Some other stations from RTBF are there, but not this one, their « main » one.

They publish the URL of their web radio, I’ve tried to include it in an iOS shortcut, create a custom playlist containing that feed, … and never succeeded.

Would you be so kind to help me get my HomePod play that radio?

Their URL is: https://radio.rtbf.be/lapremiere/mp3-160/me which seems to redirect to https://redbeemedia.streamabc.net/redbm-lapremiere-mp3-160-7134387?sABC=648nps41%230%235896001pq8821rrqr957sp0r7n49ns09%23zr&aw_0_1st.playerid=me&amsparams=playerid:me;skey:1686818625

Thank you so much!

I fail to see the purpose of a MacPro over a Mac Studio.

I know it has pci slots, but can someone tell me how they will realistically be used? Used in a way that can't be done with thunderbolt.

The pricing seems absurd compared to a Mac Studio.

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a way, or an app, that allows me to record calls. In my country, it is legal to record calls with single party consent (ie, only I have to consent). My job requires me to make phone calls, and it is important that what is said in the call can be verified at a later date if it is ever challenged.

Any help is appreciated :)

It looks like they forgot to finish their homework and submitted it hoping no one would notice, but it really stick out to me.

Apple-related subreddit /r/apple has gone dark in protest of Reddit's upcoming API pricing changes affecting third-party Reddit apps. The subreddit is now private, meaning that users can no longer view or submit posts, and the moderators behind the community said it will remain that way for the next 48 hours, or potentially longer if necessary.

Hi I created new sub/community for iOS Gaming https://lemmy.ml/c/iosgaming

In 2021/22, besides Ted Lasso and Severance, there wasn’t really any really good TV shows that got me hooked, this has massively changed in 2023 and I’m almost exclusively watching it at the moment.

Ted Lasso season 3 was good, Silo (fucking love this show), Platonic are really good and their upcoming shows also look really good. Apple are trying really hard here and I think it shows, thought it was worth stating.

The episode release format really naffs me off though as I’m hooked and then I have to wait a week, guess it makes sense from a business perspective though to ensure people are paying monthly, (except me with 6 months free access via my credit card)

Yes, there are basically no reasons to not move to USB-C. Up until this point, I have been saying that it is a matter of convenience. But it is also economical.

The other day, my wife and I were out and planned to get lunch and go back home. We had outdoor seating and it was a beautiful day, so she decided to stay and work.

She did not have her lightning headphones and asked me how much a cheap pair would cost. Well, since it is lightning it would be about 3x as much as a USB-C pair.

I was so close to just pulling the trigger on an iPhone 13 since my iPhone XR is constantly freezing and has terrible battery life. This instance reaffirmed my decision to wait for a USB-C model iPhone.

If the iPhone 15 for some reason does not have USB-C or it is wildly expensive, I am just going to get an iPhone 13 and use that until is no longer works.

Christian, Apollo’s developer, has written a long post detailing how the talks have broken down, as well as going forward.

Also, it sounds like Reddit has been lying through their teeth about a bunch of stuff around timelines and smears they’ve publicly made about Christian, but Christian brought receipts and phone call records.
