You can scrub around in them. Look for the red bar on the bottom after the short starts. You can tap and drag on it and a little red circle will appear that will show briefly after you release.

I used to be all in with Google. After being burned over and over again, I’ve nearly entirely exited their ecosystem with some exceptions. I just don’t trust them anymore to maintain their products for the long haul.

Could have rabies. Bats don’t typically lay on the ground during the daytime unless they’re sick.

Hey - I just figured this out. Swipe left or right until the digital clock comes into view instead of swiping up and down on the clock.

I could have sworn there used to be a digital clock. If you long hold on the clock, you can change the widget and style. I bet eventually there will be more widgets available for standby.

I believe you swipe up and down on the clock itself, if I’m not mistaken.

3D printing has become really accessible over the past few years. Many affordable entry level printers come with automatic bed leveling and direct drive extruders, which previously only came on more expensive printers. IMO, it sounds like your use case is perfect for 3D Printing. There’s a variety of great entry level printers you can pickup right now for fairly cheap. I don’t have experience with them myself, but the Elegoo Neptune 3 or 4 seem to be well regarded for their price point. As far as getting started, Thomas Sanladerer has a great intro to 3DP that can get your started on the concepts. It’s not hard to pickup. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDJMid0lOOYnkcFhz6rfQ6Uj8x7meNJJx

14 Pro Max at 88%. I’ve never had battery health degrade this quickly on previous iPhones, and I’ve had every iPhone since the 6. I don’t recall percentages on my XS and earlier, but I know that my 11 Pro Max was at 99% when I got my 12 Pro Max, and it was at 98% when I got my 13 Pro Max. My 13 Pro Max was at 93%, when I got my 14 Pro Max, and the only thing that’s been different in terms of my charging behaviors is that I’ve used MagSafe charging much more. Maybe the heat wireless charging creates is worse on batteries, but I’ve read others using MagSafe not have this problem, so I really don’t know unless Apple has tweaked the way they report battery health.

EDIT: Now I’m at 86%. It’s dropped 2% in a little over 2 weeks.

Yeah, but there are ways other browsers have determined how to have in-built ad blocking. I’m not sure of the ins and outs, but Brave, Samsung Browser, and Edge all have built-in ad blocking on iOS.

I’d use it exclusively, but there’s no Ad Blocker for it on iOS, and I don’t want to run an ad blocking VPN all the time. I also don’t like how there’s no official PWA support on desktop.

I know what you mean. I saved this blessing off years ago. I don’t remember where I got it, otherwise I’d attribute it to its author. It’s a great way to share that moment of reflection that prayer can provide without the actual religious aspect.

A Secular Grace For what we are about to receive let us be truly thankful …to those who planted the crops …to those who cultivated the fields …to those who gathered the harvest. For what we are about to receive let us be truly thankful to those who prepared it and those who served it. In this festivity let us remember too those who have no festivity those who cannot share this plenty those whose lives are more affected than our own by war, oppression and exploitation those who are hungry, sick and cold In sharing in this meal let us be truly thankful for the good things we have for the warm hospitality
and for this good company

The biggest thing I’ve noticed is not having a large community to feel a part of. Those I know who are active in church communities tend to have a more active social life. I have close friends for sure, but I do miss that sense of greater community and cause.

The only other thing I feel acutely is the sense of being all on my own and the decider of my own destiny. There’s no leaning on faith as a crutch during tough times.
