That is okay

That's weird, I would have presumed you'd have been given the right to destroy your eardrums. Rightfully so.

Which country? Is it in the EU?

Strangely I don't have an option for Lightning Adaptors on my phone.

Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Headphone Safety > Headphone notifications off

I found that simply by swiping down, typing in "headphone notifications" and pressing on the settings that corresponded with that.

Read some of his newer stuff lol, that is definitely not true.

Nothing beats Stephen King writing succinctly about something that has bothered him before. His style is perfect for it.

I disagree. I think it does the movies a disservice by cleaning up and adding CGI to what was released in 1977. Anyone who's interested in movies has heard of what a technological leap Star Wars was when it released, which is something that just isn't clear anymore. It's not the same movie it was, which is a shame.

Batteries degrade over time, I'm not really sure what else you expect from your phone.

There are steps you could take to improve the life of your battery, but I don't really understand the difference between the battery life being at 95% at full charge or spending the time of maintaining a charge level between 20% and 80%.

Just use the phone, if it doesn't last the day get an in car charger for it, or charge while you're at work.

25 year warranty, I’d say that is buy it for life.

If you’ve been hacked 3 times you’re either a serious public figure or you’re giving hackers your details like a moron.

You don’t simply get hacked and a VPN won’t change anything.

Their main goal is citizen surveillance. They’ve introduced a lot of laws to make that happen.

If apple was an Australian company, the back door would be available. Even if it’s put in secretly so the rest of Apple don’t know about it. It’s insane.

Australia is just mad they don’t have a backdoor into the iCloud service. That’s what they want - to have access to citizen data. It’s not about stopping pedos.

Funnily enough they now seem to be supporting the anti Covid protests in China. But they were against the same protests in Canada.

It’s a weird world.

It’s not small, it seems most of Reddit is against it now.

I agree with you. I read both the LOTR books and The Hobbit when I was younger, but I recently reread them both last year and I made a massive mistake in going with the LOTR trilogy first. I found The Hobbit to be so boring and basic in comparison. It made me really wish Tolkien went back and rewrote The Hobbit with the same detail he crafted his later novels with.

Give Lord Of The Rings a chance. It's significantly better than The Hobbit.

I'm comparing them like for like - I don't care that The Hobbit is supposedly meant for children.

Does that command work?

I just asked my watch "How much battery does my phone have" and it replied "Sorry, I can't help you with that on Apple Watch"

They don’t. I doubt I could buy it if I wanted it, it’s hard to find here. Last time I had it was in Queensland 15 years ago.
