Look at money man over here. Showing off his two tongs.

I believe the iOS Mail app is getting a UI redesign before the end of the year.

I would love to see something like macOS's FileVault encryption. It completely blends in with the login screen and your decryption password is your user password.

Do most smart TVs still allow performing updates via USB? I have an older LG TV which does this.

I’m sure she was super impressed.

I dunno what you’re talking about. Stock dialer has it for me.

Apple iOS Settings app showing “Silence Unknown Callers” toggle

Bad jokes aside, is this really not a standard feature? I would’ve thought this would’ve been more common.

That’s neat. I’ll definitely be taking a look at that.

What did YAML ever do to you?

The Mac app? That would be great. Only problem is that the plugin ecosystem is centered around macOS, and they use native UI. However, they do have a waitlist for Windows (and iOS).

Something like that is gonna be hard to pull off.

You don’t carry a laptop around while you’re hiking?

Like as in beer? No. Or free as in freedom? Also no.

However, iCloud will give you a large amount of the feature set for a fraction of the price (starts at $0.99/mo) and will likely give privacy not too far from what Proton gives you.

In the end, there’s always a risk with putting any information on the web.

iCloud+ has this too. 50 seems to be the limit.

 
 

Most settings applications (GNOME Settings, KDE Control Center) give very limited access to managing lower level components in the system. For example, kernel management, managing groups, etc.

If they did though, in your opinion, what would be the most effective way to offer a simple experience for some users, and more control for those who need it? How would most desktops implement this "hybrid" approach?

Or should users not be able to control those things graphically at all?
