Hot Take: the USB-C cable (that came with my iPhone 15 PM) feels noticeably looser in the port than Lightning ever did and it's a real downgrade in feel
@780847b9 I never used the old version of this that much, but yes, there’s something very offputting about the new one (and all apps kinda look the same in it)
@5ee5fe01 you cannot.
But you can pin a widget of three apps/complications in the widget view, and you can rearrange the app grid to put your most used apps at the top, because it now always shows them from the top
I’m not mad that watchOS 10 has changed the interface dramatically, I’m mad that all the changes feel arbitrary, and lack spacial consistency
The watch face is the primary interface for the watch, but is the secondary interface supposed to be widgets? Apps? Notification Centre?
Why does Control Centre get a dedicated button. Am I expected to interact with it more than widgets or apps?
I feel like watchOS is just completely failing to tell me how I’m supposed to use it
@b7c22b79 Yes! Why?! Who knows!
The whole UI feels lacking in a clear spatial hierarchy.
Everything is just sort of on top of each other, without committting to an actual sense of layering
I’m still swiping the bottom of my Apple Watch to get to control centre every time
I’m still accidentally activating complications when I try to swipe sideways to change watchface
I haven’t found any widgets that I wouldn’t prefer as a complication
@4923f17e seems to work fine for me. Obscura lets you change the behaviour of the volume buttons, so double check that Volume Up is set to capture photo.
(Also behave of the workarounds to get this to work at all, it might not work if your volume is set to 100%)
((We were supposed to get a proper API for this with iOS 17, but there’s been no further details about that))
Can anyone help me with some email troubleshooting?
I use Hover for work email, and occasionally some emails are rejected by Gmail.
I've configured the SPF record as suggested, but still having issues sporadically.
What do I do next?
@640c59e5 so frustratingly, I’m going to Amsterdam from the 6th to the 9th to hang out with the @185527cf folks, and I was looking forward to having the new phone to play with over there
@befafebe I really like Things as a to-do app that offers just enough to make you feel in control, without offering so much that you’ll spend more time tinkering than doing
