One week ago i got a 32gb ipad. Excited for the new toy, I took hundreds of stupid photos with that 720p front webcam using photobooth, downloaded them from icloud, deleted them, and now they're in the trash.

Now the ipad is complaining it's full memory. Full memory? What? Already? I barely used it. I investigated the issue and saw that photos are taking 4gb.

4gb? How? Saw on icloud there's not that usage on photos:

The pics i took were 720p images, when i downloaded them from icloud they were like 50mb in total

Uncompressed lossless caches of old photos? How to fix this?

New Windows 11 release comes with a new Windows 11 bug: middle click on explorer icon on taskbar doesn't open a new window anymore.

This taskbar shit seems so hard to do for microsoft, they took 3 years to fix the combined icons bug

same for "reopen explorer windows at login" which was broken for more than one year

If all their 100k devs are unable to fix it, why don't they open source it and rely on some amateur hobbyist to fix it for free in their spare time?

Now I understand why at each windows 11 update, they introduce more bugs than ever

Got an email that says "please pay $33 + shipping to get a t-shirt with our ad on it"

There's people that would actually pay for something like this? This stuff is usually give away for free at conferences and then used as a sleeping dress, no?

They say they're a viable alternative to starlink and ready to start - not sure how much true is that

I read a musk fan saying "but their terminals aren't made in a NATO country" - isn't the same for starlink?

At work I got Windows 11 24H2. It has a bug, known from september 2024, that resizes all the windows in a tiny corner.

Basically, when the screen shuts off for standby, Windows thinks the resolution now is no more 3840x2160 but 640x480. EVERYTHING gets resized in the top left corner at 640x480 and it's ULTRA INFURIATING

Because microsoft took 3 years to fix the taskbar and 4 years to fix the "restore explorer windows at boot" checkbox, I'm not confident that they will fix this issue in this decade, and I must find a solution, or i will become crazy.

Workarounds tried:

• using fancywm - every time i wake up screen i need to wait 10 seconds to see all the windows rearranging and resizing and it's still infuriating.
• disabling monitor timeout and replacing it with a screensaver - I'm at work and group policy mandate monitor timeout at 5 minutes
• updating the AMD drivers
• uninstalling 24H2 - the admin removed the uninstall files, i can't revert to previous version *uninstalling powertoys in the chance if it was caused by fancyzones
• changing UI scale from 150% to 100%

What I did not try:

• replace the displayport cable with a hdmi one (but it should have only 30hz refresh rate in that case)
• use a dummy video adapter
• use a lower resolution
• wipe and reinstall everything, i have too many stuff with too many settings

This is awesome! For only $450 you can get a machine that can automatically swap battery packs placed on bulky $120 phone cases.

You don't need to plug a cable in your phone anymore, your over engineered machine can swap battery packs for you

I never imagined that I would live this long to see the future

For some reason my iPhone is called "iPhone (2)" and that bothers me to no end. But i can't find the way to rename it, the name can't be clicked and no textbox appears.

This phone was given to me by my employer. Do they have the power to restrict this?
