  • Nothing is really stopping me, I just think iPhones align better with me now.

    I am going to give 3 examples of why I switched from Android to iPhone. 1 - I used Samsung Galaxy S every generation till the S5, flashing ROMs every second day and I got tired of it. One thing that particularly bothered me was when I got my officially branded Galaxy S car holder, Car charger and a lot of other accessories and they didn’t work with the SII.

    2 - I use to jog quite a lot and used the arm strap with the cable and I thought I want a phone that prioritizes wireless audio. Apple was the first company that did that. I would have thought it would have been Sony with some of their previous phones.

    3 - Samsung had many of the things I like in iPhone now already back in the Galaxy S and SII time. S Calendar, S notes, S diary, S transfer I think. That was dropped as a novelty after a few times. Once apple start with something they keep it, at least for a while.

    I know phones are more mature now and Samsung probably doesn’t do this anymore (Or hopefully they don’t). But I already made the switch and I don’t feel any reason to switch back at the moment.

    Why I like iPhone: 1 - It doesn’t change much over generations which helps with not having to buy new accessories the whole time.

    2 - It doesn’t allow me to change much so I don’t bother changing much (I still do the dev betas etc, but they are not as time consuming as Roms)

    3 - They don’t generally try to be first to the market

    4 - Privacy is better than commercial Android (I know you can get Android builds that are better)

    5 - I like(d) that the App Store is the only way you can get Apps

    6 - I like the eco system (I now have homepods, apple tv, macbook, iPad, iPhone, airpods and watch) - I know Samsung has a good one, but too late.

    7 - Homekit/Homekey and carplay/carkey - I literally can walk around without keys. (I know this isn’t unique, but again when I bought by car Apple was the only option)

    8 - I don’t feel like I have to upgrade every year.

    I think I can do most my likes with Android as well. I just like the way Apple does it currently and they restrict some of my shortcomings.







  • Yes, because the entry is almost already done for you. You just write what you feel about it. No curating tour pictures etc.

    The entry isn’t exactly like how I would want it but it isms close and it would have things in there like the location which I always set in my diaro entry and what it choose to be the best pictures.

    It also adds suggestions that I normally wouldn’t write about like my walk or jog, but then because it is already compiled I just jot something down quickly.

    I won’t dislike your post, but I generally don’t like it.

    What does that emoji at the end of your post mean. Are you physically crying. Is it symbolic to mean you are unhappy or sad or disheartened or something else that I couldn’t think of.

    Now imagine if you do a string of those and me trying to figure it out.

    I mean with keyboards now, it is probably faster swiping out the phrase :”This saddens me” than that emoji.


  • Well, with players suing their unions WR and the other unions will do things that make it “safer”.

    WRT to the TMOs, if the fans pick up an error the referee doesn’t it also brings unhappiness. I am pretty sure the TMO didn’t go all the way back, he probably saw it in real time and then decided to look at it.

    What is the privacy issues with wearing a chipped mouth guard? They are already wearing a chipped jersey. With the mouth guard the will be able to see the direct effect of the hits on the player and can pull a player for a HIA directly when he goes over certain limits. The injuries from the chip is a concern though.

    WR is in a tight spot, they need to show they are doing something about player welfare. These things will show how they progress as well.






  • I also don’t like ad-filled apps, that is why I normally buy my apps.

    I have used Diaro before and it was quite good. It could save your entries in iCloud or Dropbox and have apps for almost all platforms. I have also heard good things about Day One.

    I played with the app for a bit and I think it is good enough to start with. If you don’t have the baggage of trying to import from a different app I think it should be good to go from the get go.

    I would have liked it if it could have shown my memories on a map and I could go look at my entries at a specific place etc. It currently only filters on if things are there. Not on the details of what is inside of those things.

    But I think it is a good place to start from regardless. And the ability to share things directly with the journal is quite nice. I have already done it with some of the memories generated with the photos app, so I would assume anything can be shared with it.







  • I am an Afrikaans native speaker and if it is what it is alluded to in our SA media (and this piece) it is just a rugby call that we make the whole time. The word that Curry think he used is not really in South African lexicon as we have our own dedicated words for that type of vulgar type of speech. Whenever I have payed rugby we have always spoken Afrikaans, because the vast majority of the players will be Afrikaans. Bongi played at the Stormers so I am pretty sure he would also do all his rugby calls in Afrikaans.

    Jersey Colour: groen (green) = South Africa/Ireland wit (white) = England Swart (Black) = NZ etc

    kant (said like the word in the article) = side

    So wit kant would mean on England’s side

    If it is not that, then it needs to be looked into and he will need to face the punishment. Let’s wait for the investigation to finish before we crucify him.
