I was unaware that it was supposed to transfer chat history. It’s never once done it for me. I assumed it was like other platforms I’ve used where it doesn’t sync your history unless you backup and restore.

Beeper looks amazing but is waiting list only.
I’m curious what do you find horrible about it? I use it all the time and have zero issues with it.
On a <5 minute video?
DP has embedded, can be carried over USB-C, allowing for everything to be handled over a single cable, is handled on connector instead of device-internal interface allowing for smaller/thinner devices, DP daisy-chaining, licensing/royalty differences, etc.
Yeah it’s definitely a chore to get anyone to use anything other than iMessage. A few friends and I use Signal even though they have iMessage and loved it. But everyone else is hooked to iMessage. Convenience is King in terms of adoption, unfortunately.
You’ve reached lemmy.one!
Tailscale all the way.
ABSOLUTELY THIS. Same. I have to deal with Oracle and their Opera PMS platform which uses Weblogic, 19c, and a variety of other products and it makes me actively want to scream and light things on fire. If I can help it, you won’t catch me using another Oracle product if I can avoid it.
That’s the same response I always get. But once I show them how much easier it is, it’s so much easier. I can’t believe there was a time I didn’t use one.
A password manager is an absolute must, in my opinion! I use Bitwarden and love it.
I’ve used Pihole and Adguard. Liked them both, but ultimately went back to Pihole.
I saw this the other evening and played it. Man, it went from 0-100 real quick. Really wild little game!
I’ll give a search on Duck Duck Go, and if I can’t find what I need then I’ll use Google.
But at this point I’m using Google Bard and ChatGPT more and more, at least at work.
Anecdotally, I have to say iPhone seems to have terrible battery life. My wife and several friends all have had the last few iPhones and they seem to be charging their phones all the time. At least every night but often during the day as well. My Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ was amazing. Like 1.5 days of battery. Then I got my Google Pixel 6 Pro and 7 Pro and it blew my mind. I go 2+ days on a charge no problem.
I suppose to be fair I use my phone more like I did my BlackBerry back in the day, whereas they all use TikTok and stuff fairly frequently.
I’m not sure if it’s still the case, but one thing that used to irritate me in particular was that even if you install a different browser, iOS will still use the Safari engine.
It’s a lot of stuff like this that’s just a non-starter for me. I understand defaults and whatever, that’s fine, but let me change it!
I love the iPhone hardware. Especially the mini.
But I really don’t like iOS. Or the lightning connector.
Same thing with Macs.
Overall I think Apple makes gorgeous hardware but the software just isn’t for me.
I always tell people the best phone (or best one iPhone vs Android) is whatever is best for them.
My wife loves her iPhone and everything about it, and that’s okay!
Haha! Honestly its not that bad. While I vastly prefer administering the 10% of our servers that are Linux, the Windows side of things really isn’t that bad. Just not as good.
I’ve really been wanting to learn Ansible but feel like I don’t have a huge reason to since I work administering a largely windows environment and have PowerShell scripts that do most what I need :/
Overall it’s pretty good! With more development on Jerboa and better backend performance and an influx of people, I think it’ll be fantastic. I’m pretty pleased thus far!
Well that’s great news! I joined the wait-list last week and got an email saying they’d get back to me when I could get access.
