It doesn't on my 2nd Gen iPhone SE (2020). That said, anything that causes the "swipe to power off" screen to appear has the same affect, so essentially holding down the button for 5 seconds does the trick.

Any particular reason you excluded the 80s (or even the 90s) from the attention-monopoly time period?

FWIW I technically use exFat, my mistake. Either way, NTFS isn’t supported by Proton and I’m still on 5.14; 5.15 was only released on Halloween 3 weeks ago and isn’t in most distributions/repositories yet or nearly as battle-tested. Ho

Recently I tried sharing a Steam library between Windows and Linux. Sadly, Proton does not support FAT32 so if your goal is to run those games under Proton you will be disappointed.

Thank you for bringing back this memory. As a child who had recently installed Linux for the first time, I saw someone presenting at Bentley Systems using CoLinux and have forever wondered what it was (I wasn’t able to speak to them directl

That would be true if the human population didn’t consistently increase over time; but it has.

From the outside, it seems like adding generics to Go seems similarly controversial and slow as the Python jump to version 3 — although Go generics haven’t even landed yet. Generics have the potential to impact a decent amount of the standa

In most markets, LG and Roku are quite competitive and within a few percentage points of one another. In South America, a less mature but fast growing market, LG has a significant lead over Roku with 23% market share. But in North America,

Or LG WebOS is not a big enough market for Google to care about the experience to put their foot down, at that point they’d rather be on the device (and controlling other devices where it counts). This is all hearsay though and it’s unclear

Some of Norm's jokes are intentionally very long with a lousy punchline, making them funnier... which I could see in this case because the story was told with every sentence in its own tweet, making it painful to read chronologically (

I believe it is intended as humor -- the whole joke is that the story is fabricated, and he himself is deceiving you with fiction as a typist himself. Of course, like you, I'm not 100% sure I'm right as with many of Norm's ga

Personally, I don’t, but I was trying to convey a neutral stance. That said, I didn’t like their approach of secrecy and, at least seemingly and anecdotally, doing it when receiving updates rather than over time based on some metric such as

This too, but Apple was caught a while back slowing down older phones at major version updates (their reasoning was to extend battery life / device on time). https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-51413724

The irony is that if you’re not updated to the latest iOS, the easier (cheaper?) it is for the CCP to run surveillance exploits on your device a la the Uighurs. You can either trust Apple, or lose all security updates.

You gain the value of whatever service you’re using. It’s the same approach of monetizing a site with ads, except instead of “paying” for the site with your data or eyeballs, you’re paying with your bandwidth. I actually quite like this ide

Apple wants to perform the repairs so they can charge a premium. If batteries were easy to replace, consumers would do it themselves. IIRC iOS even detects if a battery has been replaced regardless of whether it’s an authentic first-party
