Don't Update Your iPhone
-
I find the linked article funnier. As in, it's almost like a WTDWTF post:
tl;dr; - author complains about Messaging app crashing and heating the phone up to about Discourse Kelvins. And then complains about stickers being too easy to use. So, of course, you have to do it! Conclusion: don't update your phone because GIFs in Messaging app.
I can already see the entire flamewar cycle happening in front of my eyes. I'd actually just copy the entire article and claim it's my post, but I don't have an iPhone to help me continue the fun, and googling for screenshots of it is hard work.
[Forked to the sidebar because it deserves it. Feel free to suggest better titles. - bz]

@Onyx
Holly Cow ... that sounds very un-Appel-y ...
Also I think this thread needs more ponies.

Yeah, my friend upgraded yesterday, I'm waiting for info if it's safe. He's not perfectly happy with the changes, but so far it's supposed to work well.

What exactly is her problem here? A lot of the complaints seem to be that the app enables her to do things that she isn’t required to do by any stretch of the imagination. Like:
I think I put hundreds of hammered Hodas and Kathie Lees over whatever message is under there. Is that partially my own fault?
Well, no. It’s not partially your fault, it’s wholly your fault: if you don’t put thingies in your message, there won’t be thingies in your message.
Of course, things like that can be worked out and maybe an upcoming OS X update will straighten it out.
Not on your iPhone it won’t.
all to make room for a bunch of inane bullshit that I’m never actually going to use for any good or productive purpose.
Then don’t use it. And if you find someone else using it in a message to you, complain to them. There, was that so hard?

@Gurth Question: What happens when a device with iOS9 receive a message written on iOS10?
-
@aliceif
It shows pony butt
-
@aliceif You should have updated to 10 already
-
@Jaloopa I think I have one device with iOS5 and one with iOS7. Both old iPod touches with cracked screens.
-
@aliceif my wife stayed on 6 for ages because she didn't like the flat design in 7. I think she skipped it entirely and ended up on 8 when she couldn't find any 6 compatible apps in the store
-
@Gurth said in Don't Update Your iPhone:
Not on your iPhone it won’t.
She means OS X update. The messenger app is on both platforms. The latest update to the phone app added new "stuff" which isn't available yet on the OS X version.
-
@Gurth said in Don't Update Your iPhone:
if you don’t put thingies in your message, there won’t be thingies in your message.
Unless someone else puts thingies in your message. I suspect the stickers go to both people?

Are you asking me to investigate?
@NedFodder said in Don't Update Your iPhone:
She means OS X update.
You’re right, I read too hastily. But it does answer @aliceif’s question. This is what happens:
@Yamikuronue said in Don't Update Your iPhone:

Hence my remark that:—
if you find someone else using it in a message to you, complain to them.

I updated as soon as I could and have noticed some battery life issues. It reset all the app permissions I'd configured in iOS9 so everything could update in the background. It was a good opportunity to go through and update those perms though, so I didn't really mind. As for the messages app, I can only use all that shit with one contact so I haven't bothered looking into it. Either I'm not cool enough to understand why stickers are a big deal or I'm too old, either way it's just something else I won't ever use.

Awe, you mean you never have to send images to other people? You couldn't ever do that before!

Updated works fine, everything works. Still get messages from my mate calling me a "white boy cunt". Phone regression test is complete.
-
@kt_ it's kinda fucking stupid because instead of saying "your iPhone is no longer supported and will not receive patches or security updates", it just gives you some shit about "software is up to date", when it's not "up to date" for the standard meaning of the phrase.
I mean, if you redefine "up to date" to mean "there is no newer software that works on your out-of-date hardware", then sure, but that's dumb.

The funny thing is, I only found out about that because I was going to update the OS.
Me. Lorne Kates. I was actually, for once, about to intentionally UPGRADE A WORKING OS.
And Apple fucked it up.

Amen, my man!
But seriously: that's what up to date means. I have a Windows 7 installation and since July It says my software is up to date.
You're reading much too much into it. It's the newest version of the OS this phone is capable of running: the software is up-to-date: you can't upgrade it.
-
@kt_ said in Don't Update Your iPhone:

Windows Update? It's not exactly the same thing. Windows Update is not, and never has been, supposed to upgrade you to a completely new version of Windows. It just installs patches and upgrades to the version you're using.
That iOS thing is where you go when you actually want it to upgrade to the newest version of iOS. It'd be nice if it'd at least say that you are not using the latest version because it can't be installed on your device.

It is now! Yay Windows 10!

Never? There's a reason I said since July.

Maybe it would be nice, I don't know. For me it's a non-issue.

@kt_ AFAIK they're not including Win10 in the list of updates any more so you won't get booted to Win10 now.

@Arantor said in Don't Update Your iPhone:

Even then it didn't install Windows 10 directly. It downloaded nagware. The nagware installed Windows 10.

Yup, mostly for office, though. There are only security patches released for win 7 now. And misguided driver upgrades.
-
@kt_ I always find it funny when people say I have privileged as a white man, I worked at McDonalds when I was 16 and stacked veg at Tesco for 8 years while getting my degree and I an still paying debts from that time (almost over thank god :D). I worked for every single penny I have. My parents just now are comfortable financially.
-
@lucas1 so, how many times have you been stopped by police for a DWB?
-
@ben_lubar said in Don't Update Your iPhone:
Zero times and it is irrelevant anyway.The colour of my skin does not give me more privilege. Money does, and social status, looking clean and tidy, dressing with clean clothes etc ... all of those will make you less likely to be stopped by police. None of them has anything to do with someone's skin colour. Do you go to a job interview in your pyjamas? No because you would look like an idiot from first impressions.
How many of those people stopped because they were "DWB" as you put it was driving through high crime areas? Of course the police are more likely to stop you if it is high crime.
Also if we are going to do the stopped by police game, police in our area will stop you if you are driving an older car with any cosmetic problem. That isn't because they are targeting poor people, old cars are easier to steal and tend to driven badly by joy riders. Do I have a privilege over joy riders, because I bother make regular repairs and services on my car?
-
@ben_lubar said in Don't Update Your iPhone:
so, how many times have you been stopped by police for a DWB?
I've never been stopped for DWB. The only times I've been stopped are twice for speeding (17+ over the limit and the only car on the road) and once for expired tags. This is in well over 20 years of driving, both older and new cars.

See? You fail to be funny, you can't even pull it off slightly. You just come across obnoxious.
See @Lorne-Kates for the proper way to troll people, I think he's our master.

@kt_ I think part of it is also because lorne has multiple characters and comes up with new ones on the fly

@kt_ I like trains.

We already know that, but thanks for the reminder!
By the by, any particular trannies or just trannies in general?
-
@kt_ I do like trannies. Also, the proper term is trans-gender, you shitlord. I'll bet you're a fucking white male, too.

But, you're still doing it wrong! You still come across as an obnoxious pissed off git and I'm getting bored with you.
Seriously. Extremely bored.
