- Thermal conductivity is the key. Most brands don’t mention it
Adguard DNS + Adguard Pro Safari extension. No need for other browsers. Works better than anything I tested. Honourable mention to Brave browser.
All of the digital assistants appear to be degrading to me. I suspect directing consumers to paid ‘AI’ versions which allegedly work, are the corporate plan.

Apple@lemmy.world•You can use Freeform as a basic image editor on iOS
1·1 year agoYou may have overlooked Snapseed. Free as in beer, surprisingly full featured.
Artificial marketing segmentation by selling obsolete tech taken to bloody extremes. USB 2.0 is an insult
$149.99 AUD per year? Pass …
Thanks for your suggestion. It’s not listed in my App Store (Australia)
Yes, I tested the ‘Go’ version which allows 3 day trial before levying a subscription.
Based on that I purchased the ‘Pro’ version as it meets my needs well and I hate farking subscriptions lol
- Beware there are imitators with almost identical app names and identical app descriptions.
You want the app by Stratospherix
‘File Browser’ looks promising. Comes in 3 versions, less featured one off purchase, full featured subscription version (Go) or full featured one off purchase (Pro).
Has been in the App Store many years, still in active development. Affordable. Will probably plump for this if nothing better is suggested.
- This is the app by Stratospherix. There are imitators in the App Store
Thank you very much for your suggestion. This looks like a more reasonably priced solution. After re-reading the description I note the developers say that it EXTENDS the iOS Files app, in other words I can access files already present ‘on your phone’.
Thank you for your suggestion. $99.99 to do file management tasks is a bit rich for me …
One thing I’ve taken for granted on other platforms is simple batch operations. Want to rename MORE THAN one file? I’m SOL on the Apple Files app.
I make do with (buggy) homebrew shortcuts at the moment for such things.
Because it’s extremely basic. I want to do more sophisticated file management. At the moment I kludge Apple’s Files app with home brewed Shortcuts but I find Shortcuts to be buggy. There are some small utilities available in the App Store to supplement but there are not very cost effective.

Apple@lemmy.world•Possible to have Apple Maps always avoid a certain location?
10·2 years agoWaze has a toggle called ‘avoid difficult intersections’.
Additionally, Waze has crowd sourced real time traffic hazard reporting (every Waze user can contribute).
From the top of my head, I think you do that in Mail. I can’t recall a section of the domain setup for that.
Pretty sure It must be done separately on iOS Mail vs MacOS Mail vs Web Mail.
Tedious, but a once off.

Decent audio experience?
You can tweak any distro but, pay attention to using Jack + PREEMPT_RT kernel + Xlibre (X11).
Avoid Wayland (especially with nvidia GPU), avoid Pipewire and avoid Gnome desktop.
I suggest starting out with Debian stable as the base. There are specialised AV Linux distros available but nothing beats knowing what you’re doing from the outset.
If you need the very latest version of a particular app not available as a distro package, Flatpak is your friend. Again, Debian ‘.debs’ and AppImage are most prevalent third party packages outside the proprietary app stores of Flathub & Snapcraft.
