Damn I should tell OSHA they can’t fine businesses anymore because safety isn’t a thing we can measure so their fines are arbitrary

Try using Spotlight to find stuff. It’s the main way I use mine. Just swipe down from the home or Lock Screen and start typing in that search bar any time you are wanting to launch an app, send a text, find a document, etc.

iPhone definitely isn’t for everyone. A big strength of Android is you have so many options for customization. My big gripe stems from random customization processes failing and reverting back to the OEM version. Though that’s slowly gotten better. I use an S22 for my work phone and a Tab S8+, and yeah I’m a fan of Android too. Especially the multitasking on my phone. iOS is a joke for multitasking.

What a terrible sentiment. It’s honestly fucking impressive how easy an iPhone is to use for old people. My dad grew up in rural Mexico without any electricity and never learned how to use a computer. His first smartphone was an S3 and he HATED it. My mom traded it in for an iPhone, and he was close to losing his mind again until he used it for a few weeks. Dad learned well enough on his own that when he asked me to respond to a text for him while we were fixing a car, I unlocked his phone and Safari was open on Pornhub. Dude’s figured out how to use Spotify and can listen to all the music he grew up with and hasn’t been able to find CDs for. I used to have to sit with him to take his annual trainings on my laptop because he couldn’t figure out a keyboard and mouse. Don’t even get me started on how well Apple handles accessibility features for disabled people.

Not everyone needs side loading or the ability to do shit like change your system font. Not everybody needs root access. Should Apple make that available for the people who want it? Fuck yeah they should. But 99% of the time, the phone works well and fits most people’s use-cases.

Anyway, I’m a tech-savvy zoomer and I use an iPhone (and Arch btw). Even the biggest FOSS guy in my old IT job switched to an iPhone (he uses Arch too btw). Definitely not just for boomers.

No, but a 10% drop from the prior close triggers a short sell restriction for a full trading session. In that event, you can only short on upticks in price. Unless you are day trading shorts, it’s a meaningless restriction that’s easily abusable by HFTs.
