You can just use Apple Configurator to make a .mobileconfig file and apply that, no MDM required.
Great, til I have a job interview and they use Zoom
Re:Google Hits 50% IPv6 on Sunday June 21, 2026 @07:23AM (#48617898)
Purely from a business perspective, for VM there is no point. They have more than enough v4 to keep them going, customers (outside of a tiny technical minority who probably wouldn't chose VM anyway) do not see any benefit.

That plus other ISPs v6 implementations breaking things randomly, I understand why they don't bother.

There are news sites tailored for kids, like BBC Newsround (https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround)
Re:DRAM pricing is killing the hobbyist SBC market on Wednesday April 01, 2026 @06:09PM (#47607173)
DRAM pricing is killing the everything market.

We just had a vendor uplift our quote 50% per unit for some machines because of a mix of memory + supply chain issues.

This feature has never been available to me- it just threw an error each time. Wonder how far it actually got rolled out?
I blame The Apprentice

In my hometown someone did this, take half the wall of the Nationwide branch out along with the ATM. Someone also tried to get a free standing one from inside a shop but just ended up destroying the frontage and not taking it home with them.
they use datapacket/cdn77, no?

Matrix is god awful, literally the opposite of Discord in usability
Re:Tell HN: Get a dying iPhone 12 mini in 2026 on Friday January 09, 2026 @06:01AM (#46552522)
I just moved away from iPhones because the battery life on every single one I've owned is abysmal. I'm a week into a phone with an absolutely massive battery and it can actually get me through a whole day which no iPhone ever has.
Did it on debit card, another lesson learned.
I booked direct on Ryanair.com and they refused to refund our tickets because the flight technically ran even though we weren’t legally allowed to leave our homes. Lesson learned, I’ve got travel insurance now
Not nearly enough randomly capitalised words

Thought this was a browser for my e-reader
I mean - Tailscale is a remote access tool...
I played with HaLow for a while but the only stuff I could get here in the UK was some undocumented crap from AliExpress, anything more robust looking only seems to work in the US. A shame because it’d solve a infrastructure challenge I have to juggle each year
That’s like the average salary here.

Re:No more "check mail from other accounts" in Gmail web on Thursday October 02, 2025 @02:06AM (#45446761)
I have had multiple people scream at me on the phone for daring to suggest that a new person working needs their own email account and it will cost about £4 ($5.30~) a month

Got my /29 on my DSL line for free :)
A pub near us got quoted near £1500 a month just for one service, you have to have 3 separate ones to watch all the games. Risking a fine might be cheaper than paying that for some
Re:iPhone Air on Tuesday September 09, 2025 @04:48PM (#45188803)
Not sure, but my provider don't do eSIM so I guess I can't get one.
Re:My phone is an ereader now on Sunday August 31, 2025 @09:38AM (#45083078)
not in Europe - everybody uses WA here, work group chats, friends, parents, etc. My dad sometimes uses iMessage because he can’t see the difference between the icons but apart from that you’d get strange looks if you mentioned Telegram/Signal etc

You do get support if you're a free user, it's just best effort and via e-mail only.
Re:Mastercard deflects blame for NSFW games being taken down on Tuesday August 05, 2025 @09:49AM (#44797958)
For a while my old bank would block all Steam payments on both debit and credit - calling them confirmed that this was their new policy. I swiftly closed the account and moved to a competitor so I could spend my money again.
Re:iPhone Cameras Are Good on Wednesday July 30, 2025 @05:37AM (#44732381)
They LOOK worse but they have a sort of nostalgic, "real" feel about them without all the extra post processing. Maybe it's because my eyesight isn't the best but my friend recently took a little digital camera to a festival and the pictures off of that are the ones we all posted.
My bank app has a bit where it detects common services and tells you how to cancel them in the app, like Amazon Prime
