[…] so why were only Apple phones affected?

The answer, it seems, is because Apple recently defected from traditional quartz-based clocks in its phones in favor of clocks that are also made of MEMS silicon. Given that clocks are the most critical device in any computer and are necessary to make the CPU function, their disruption with helium atoms is enough to crash the device.

In this case, the leaking helium from the MRI machine infiltrated the iPhones like a “tiny grain of sand” and caused the MEMS clocks to go haywire.

I used the default for about a year before switching it up to ‘Planetary’.

Off topic, but I’d love to get a Firefox-style app icon, but with a Lemming instead of a fox. Honestly, it’d just be a fat blob with teeth and that’d be ok lol

Very bleak. Would probably be best to keep the account active, but empty.

Come on, fellas, the ‘fuck Trudeau’ convoy lineup is outside.

At this point I think I’m ready to remove the rest of my content that remains on Facebook and Instagram.

The blackface merits the disappointment, but wow the gold teeth and chains take this to a whole other level.

He said the tunnel would serve as “a new expressway for both cars and transit” from Brampton to Mississauga in the West to Markham and Scarborough in the east […]

Drop the cars, dedicating the tunnel strictly to transit, and your ground level gridlock will solve itself.

Hell yeah, I was complaining about this when I went to see Dune 2. What an inane way to punish your most passionate fans trying to support a dying business model.

Dramatic like a fireball rising up from the crash, not the drama created by the camera and music.

The engine cut was so sudden. I was honestly expecting a more dramatic failure, but still awesome to see reusable rockets steadily becoming the norm.

RESUSCITATE! RESUSCITATE!

The poster threw me for a loop. It’s a throwback to the 1989 film.

I mean they don’t call it RAW for nothing.

Why do you think they’re called D batteries? 😏

Sorry, I thought I was replying in the technology community where this same post was made. Apple posts there are either harshly criticized or often downvoted.

If you haven’t realized it by now, Lemmy is largely anti-Apple. Why people might expect a positive discussion about Apple outside of an Apple-oriented community, I know not.

I’ve listened to the musical version so many times that the voices just feel wrong now.

I tried it out today! Works decently with most apps, but lags a bit with others. I’ve run into one app that doesn’t scroll vertically, but hopefully that is an easy fix on the developer’s part.

Dang it. I’m pretty sure my aunt is using an iPhone 8. Fingers crossed she upgrades this year!

I checked my group chat and noticed that it only shows SMS despite the whole Android-side of the group all showing RCS in their individual chats. Is this the intended implementation?

I’m guessing that the iPhones in the group also need to be upgraded to iOS 18 for it to work correctly.
