Changed my ios to japan and filled in some random address (well not entirely random but.) to play enstars and i feel like i committed some huge crime. Its like when ur 5 and steal ur friends doll and u convince urself the fbi itself is after u
lmao i did that too, but ill jump through just about any hoop to avoid a paywall or in this case a location lock , so i didnt think much of it. then i realized like a day later that not being able to read anything pissed me off so i stopped playing it and started learning japanese . and then engstars came out !!! yay!!! (i still continued learning japanese tho, but ive been slacking lately...)

I don't know I'm not done talking about it. It's insane that I can't just uninstall Edge or Copilot. That websites require my phone number to sign up. That people share their contacts to find their friends on social media.
I wouldn't use an adblocker if ads were just banners on the side funding a website I enjoy using and want to support. Ads pop up invasively and fill my whole screen, I misclick and get warped away to another page just for trying to read an article or get a recipe.
Every app shouldn't be like every other app. Instagram didn't need reels and a shop. TikTok doesn't need a store. Instagram doesn't need to be connected to Facebook. I don't want my apps to do everything, I want a hub for a specific thing, and I'll go to that place accordingly.
I love discord, but so much information gets lost to it. I don't want to join to view things. I want to lurk on forums. I want to be a user who can log in and join a conversation by replying to a thread, even if that conversation was two days ago. I know discord has threads, it's not the same. I don't want to have to verify my account with a phone number. I understand safety and digital concerns, but I'm concerned about information like that with leaks everywhere, even with password managers.
I shouldn't have to pay subscriptions to use services and get locked out of old versions. My old disk copy of photoshop should work. I should want to upgrade eventually because I like photoshop and supporting the business. Adobe is a whole other can of worms here.
Streaming is so splintered across everything. Shows release so fast. Things don't get physical releases. I can't stream a movie I own digitally to friends because the share-screen blocks it, even though I own two digital copies, even though I own a physical copy.
I have an iPod, and I had to install a third party OS to easily put my music on it without having to tangle with iTunes. Spotify bricked hardware I purchased because they were unwillingly to upkeep it. They don't pay their artists. iTunes isn't even iTunes anymore and Apple struggles to upkeep it.
My TV shows me ads on the home screen. My dad lost access to eBook he purchased because they were digital and got revoked by the company distributing them. Hitman 1-3 only runs online most of the time. Flash died and is staying alive because people love it and made efforts to keep it up.
I have to click "not now" and can't click "no". I don't just get emails, they want to text me to purchase things online too. My windows start search bar searches online, not just my computer. Everything is blindly called an app now. Everything wants me to upload to the cloud. These are good tools! But why am I forced to use them! Why am I not allowed to own or control them?
No more!!!!! I love my iPod with so much storage and FLAC files. I love having all my fics on my harddrive. I love having USBs and backups. I love running scripts to gut suck stuff out of my Windows computer I don't want that spies on me. I love having forums. I love sending letters. I love neocities and webpages and webrings. I will not be scanning QR codes. Please hand me a physical menu. If I didn't need a smartphone for work I'd get a "dumb" phone so fast. I want things to have buttons. I want to use a mouse. I want replaceable batteries. I want the right to repair. I grew up online and I won't forget how it was!

The Code ⁂

You know what I'd love, if I could code my own custom shuffles for music playlists.
So I could like tag specific songs and use the album orders and stuff to code together a thing saying to shuffle these songs but these songs from this album need to be played in order but still disbursed throughout, songs marked with this tag cannot play convectively unless they're from these albums in this order, this part of the playlist always needs to play before the rest of it but it still needs to be shuffled, these songs need to have a few seconds of silence added after them because they end abruptly, songs with this tag should have an added fadeout, songs that are the volume of all songs should be averaged to find the average volume of specific songs to then adjust the volumes of different songs so the average volumes don't differ too drastically, this song spesifically should play at a lower volume, this song should stop early, these songs must always play in this order with roughly 2.6 minutes of other music in-between each of them but the order of those last two should be randomised. Just stuff like that, it'd make making playlists alot more fun and listening to them better, so you get the exact experience you want, because you don't want completely random shuffling, or a random official algorithm based shuffle, or to order it yourself and have it be the same every time, it'd be perfect.

well, dear fellows, I've spent days on blinding spectrograms and the song stuck in my freakin head for it being on loop. And with the next episode just dropping hours away, I thought to share this.
Did I really do this? Yes.
Was this completely pointless? Oh, absolutely—
Picking Apart the Flareglow Audio
Tumblr media
⚠️ DISCLAIMER IN INTRO POST ⚠️
CONTEXT
if you somehow did not see what was going on and probably questioning "what the hell is flareglow?" (exactly like Cube tweeted), I'll give a quick rundown:
News of a new song "Flareglow", appearing on the official SMG4 artist page on multiple platforms (spotify, apple music/itunes, iheart radio, amazon music, and others) on Jan 4.
The song itself (here's my basic analysis) sounds nothing like the Team has done before in every way you can imagine, from the gmod-made cover art to AI-sounding lyrics
fans started to speculate rather or not this was another hack or if it was an intentional by the Team, who have not confirmed anything about it. y'know it's bad when casual viewers are pointing it out
then there's people like me that suspected that the Team was scheming for some future thing
Ben tweeted about it (the first one by the Team as far as i know)
Tumblr media
Cube was the next one to bring it up AND on that same day, the song gets slowly taken down by the multiple platforms it was on
a week later giving out a comment to clarify (quote on quote) this as well as the SMG4 Steam strangely changing its username (ft. Shadow reposting)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now, you are valid in what you want to believe here while i suspect Cube with every inch of my mind palace. and since you're reading this...
AUDIO INVESTIGATION
Clues and codes can be hidden in multiple ways and one of those is through audio files, most commonly found in video games.
If you play a coded audio file, it might sound distorted and weird. But if you manipulate it as easily as putting the audio in reverse, you might've found a clue. Images can also be hidden and be seen through a spectrogram. This is considered one of the more fragile ways of coding since any small alterations to the file could change the image.
Before it got taken down, i managed to snag a copy and send it through a visualizer. ofc the image can't be seen right away and have to toy with the settings for it to work.
Admittedly, this was the most frustrating part of the whole investigation, constantly zooming in and out of the spectrogram preview, going back and forth to some classic photoshop photo manipulation. Hours and hours. So here's what i got:
zoomed in i found what looked like an "e" in 39 seconds (yeah not sure what past Ink was thinking there)
Tumblr media
having it squished kinda forms a word but it's not clear enough to distinguish
(take it with a chunk of salt that it said "Princess", well i found the letter "P" ok)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
photo manipulation cleared to "a image" of a series of almost identical corridors
Tumblr media
honestly it could just be nothing lol
yeah i might be reaching at this point, starting to see things too. I really did try everything, including using a backwards copy of it to use it as a filter on top. Like I said, it may not be nothing and that's okay. At least I gave it a shot. i know it must be disappointing.
But it's not over just yet. Have you found it strange that the title "flareglow" isn't in the lyrics itself? Even knowing what the lyrics may be about, it doesn't make sense. "A glint of bouncing light, can be captured on camera" hmmmm.
"But some songs are like that?"
True, but knowing the Team and the Steam mystery going on, yeah no. Not to mention the song being a one-sided convo perspective AND a theory that 4 may turn out like Leggy and be pushed to be an assistant to Mr Puzzles due to a grudge. Clues based on 2 of Ben's tweets,
Tumblr media Tumblr media
4 being the second minion. Hence doing the idea of the copied spectrogram.
Then there was the other idea, what if there's 2 songs? we got one half of the code, there might be another.
I guess I should clarify: maybe "Flareglow" is the title for song 2 while the song 2 title is the true title for this one.
Anyway, it would be too early for us to figure it out.
if there is, we need to be on the lookout for that one bc overlapping them might show the full image.
Two halves of the same coin :)
close enough, welcome back 4 & Puzzles being narrative foils
.・-: ✧ :--: ✧ :-・.
well uh this was something.
But for real tho, I have absolutely no idea what's gonna happen and this is just for the sillies 😋 either way thanks chat for listening to my ramblings for the past couple of days, I must've looked insane.
Now, that's a lesson to learn: sometimes it's okay to overanalyze stuff as nourishment for theorist brains and for me to morph into matpat
If anything does come up, I'll be there with everything I have and can totally count you guys being there too 💙
and on that note,
oh my god i'm never gonna listen to that song ever again not even a single second this better be a joke bc i swear i will crawl through the screen and into my spotify account and burn the entire platform on sight and maybe strangle that fuckin cover art while i'm at it as my body's decomposing into pixels watch me—

I bought my dad a new laptop for Christmas. I need a fucking degree in computer sciences in order to set the damn thing up and get it how he wants it and easy for him to use. THANKS BEING A PIECE OF SHIT, WINDOWS/MICROSOFT!! Your Windows 11 update to make things "better" or "easier" for people to use is bullshit. I can't even install FIREFOX on the damn thing, cuz apparently I need something from the Microsoft Store to run the installation program. Which means setting up an Microsoft account for him. Which means getting a verification code sent to his email in order to finish setting up his account, which I can't currently get into cuz he never remembers his password to things and rarely uses email, do you think he can remember his email password? Fuck no.
Also, a resounding FUCKING. FUCK. YOU. to Apple for making their iPhone unhackable. He hasn't used his old iPhone in over a year, but it has all of the pictures of his beloved dog trapped on it...he can't remember the passcode to get into the phone. The only way I'd be able to possibly hack into it, would result in losing everything on it. 6 years worth of pictures lost forever (because no, he didn't have an iTunes account, so no,his phone was never set up to automatically backup everything onto iCloud).
Today is my mom's birthday. I came downstairs to wish her a happy birthday, open her presents from my dad and me, and started back upstairs. She is now mad cuz I went back upstairs instead of staying downstairs to watch the movie(s) my dad brought over with them. THERE'S FUCKING NOWHERE FOR ME TO SIT! I'm not sitting on the livingroom floor.
🙄😭 I can't win for shit. I'm going back to bed.

The products not shown at their actual relative sizes on the cover of this issue were part of a "review roundup" reprised from the year before. Jason Snell's editorial enthused about the Apple Stores, of which there were now 78. One news item estimated your chances of finding a free iTunes Store download code under the cap of a bottle of Pepsi.

In retrospective, the shift whose culmination we see today seems to be about making hardware more uniform and the system infrastructure less opaque to anyone who isn't a developer.
Looking back as a millennial, I feel like the Gen-X are the most literate computer-wise because they dealt with all the weird pre-Windows systems and physical LAN party setups before the Internet at homes became fast enough to hold online gaming. Still, it's strange to read posts like this as a Millennial who was taught to use a PC in primary school because it was a new thing for the entire generation, and then I had to pass this knowledge on to teach my own parents to send an email and not to panic whenever "my window disappeared".
What I see in my boomer parents is a sort of a mental blockade from engaging with a typical window-based UI, like every time you could literally read something on the menu and click accordingly to perform an unknown activity, my mum has a little meltdown and wants to be taught the activity step by step so she can perform it by muscle memory. The greatest peril of my mum's boomer PC experience is that she doesn't watch what's going on on her screen outside the application in focus, she is not used to interactivity on a basic level, a robust system UI is too much for her because you need to learn to "dwell" in a structure of a certain complexity, you need to get used to the thought that a PC has a massive hidden side among all the nested folders, settings and policies. I think my dad has less problems with using a PC because he had vocational technical education before, he understands mechanical schematics and electrical installation charts and abstract structures of that sort. A classic menu is a little like this.
As a kid, I was taught basics of the structure of a pre-XP Windows system. I was taught a common technique to type using as many fingers as possible, without looking at the keyboard as you do it. I was taught how to use the Office suite, how to build a simple website using the ugliest incarnation of HTML, and how to push it to the teacher's host using a FTP manager. I was even taught basics of programming in one of the code-free visual gamified editors made solely for teaching purposes. All of it to familiarize us with a certain innate logic of software that was norm at the time.
Even as an IT worker nowadays, accessing most things I need on mobile devices as a QA tester is locked behind a hidden procedure of enabling Developer tools, and even then, if you look at the folder structure on the device when accessing it from your PC, the said structure is more code-like and obviously not meant for any end user. Or, I need to use workarounds through third party applications like iTunes to even access some stuff in the first place. iOS is a true nightmare when it comes to trying access the things Apple does not want an average end user to access.
What mostly changed since my childhood is that hardware is becoming uniform to the point building your own PC and setting it up to work is easy and foolproof, and Windows is trying to be quicker in providing some template behaviors and more "transparent" in its inner workings. The mobile device design simplified user experience to the levels of "Go to store, download app, tap and swipe, the system takes care of everything else". At the same time, the systems are more intrusive, and they heavily discourage messing around and finding out. Everything is meant to be done from the status bar, or a popup that appears right at your main screen.
Teaching my parents smartphones was a different experience insofar as notifications and popups from Android keep appearing without their consent, so to speak. They feel like they have no agency over their own phone, all they want is to make a call, the entire device with its apps and ads and intrusive messages is the enemy, and "they don't want IT" (where "IT" is an SMS from the provider, a system update notification, a push notification, information about used data, there's too many icons again, there's too much everything, yada yada). Once they learned the basics of using a laptop to click things on an Internet browser, phones started to be the opposite thing.
So this was originally a response to this post:
****
Tumblr media
****
Which is about people wanting an AO3 app, but then it became large and way off topic, so here you go.
Nobody under the age of 20 knows how to use a computer or the internet. At all. They only know how to use apps. Their whole lives are in their phones or *maybe* a tablet/iPad if they're an artist. This is becoming a huge concern.
I'm a private tutor for middle- and high-school students, and since 2020 my business has been 100% virtual. Either the student's on a tablet, which comes with its own series of problems for screen-sharing and file access, or they're on mom's or dad's computer, and they have zero understanding of it.
They also don't know what the internet is, or even the absolute basics of how it works. You might not think that's an important thing to know, but stick with me.
Last week I accepted a new student. The first session is always about the tech -- I tell them this in advance, that they'll have to set up a few things, but once we're set up, we'll be good to go. They all say the same thing -- it won't be a problem because they're so "online" that they get technology easily.
I never laugh in their faces, but it's always a close thing. Because they are expecting an app. They are not expecting to be shown how little they actually know about tech.
I must say up front: this story is not an outlier. This is *every* student during their first session with me. Every single one. I go through this with each of them because most of them learn more, and more solidly, via discussion and discovery rather than direct instruction.
Once she logged in, I asked her to click on the icon for screen-sharing. I described the icon, then started with "Okay, move your mouse to the bottom right corner of the screen." She did the thing that those of us who are old enough to remember the beginnings of widespread home computers remember - picked up the mouse and moved it and then put it down. I explained she had to pull the mouse along the surface, and then click on the icon. She found this cumbersome. I asked if she was on a laptop or desktop computer. She didn't know what I meant. I asked if the computer screen was connected to the keyboard as one piece of machinery that you can open and close, or if there was a monitor - like a TV - and the keyboard was connected to another machine either by cord or by Bluetooth. Once we figured it out was a laptop, I asked her if she could use the touchpad, because it's similar (though not equivalent) to a phone screen in terms of touching clicking and dragging.
Once we got her using the touchpad, we tried screen-sharing again. We got it working, to an extent, but she was having trouble with... lots of things. I asked if she could email me a download or a photo of her homework instead, and we could both have a copy, and talk through it rather than put it on the screen, and we'd worry about learning more tech another day. She said she tried, but her email blocked her from sending anything to me.
This is because the only email address she has is for school, and she never uses email for any other purpose. I asked if her mom or dad could email it to me. They weren't home.
(Re: school email that blocks any emails not whitelisted by the school: that's great for kids as are all parental controls for young ones, but 16-year-olds really should be getting used to using an email that belongs to them, not an institution.)
I asked if the homework was on a paper handout, or in a book, or on the computer. She said it was on the computer. Great! I asked her where it was saved. She didn't know. I asked her to search for the name of the file. She said she already did that and now it was on her screen. Then, she said to me: "You can just search for it yourself - it's Chapter 5, page 11."
This is because homework is on the school's website, in her math class's homework section, which is where she searched. For her, that was "searching the internet."
Her concepts of "on my computer" "on the internet" or "on my school's website" are all the same thing. If something is displayed on the monitor, it's "on the internet" and "on my phone/tablet/computer" and "on the school's website."
She doesn't understand "upload" or "download," because she does her homework on the school's website and hits a "submit" button when she's done. I asked her how she shares photos and stuff with friends; she said she posts to Snapchat or TikTok, or she AirDrops. (She said she sometimes uses Insta, though she said Insta is more "for old people"). So in her world, there's a button for "post" or "share," and that's how you put things on "the internet".
She doesn't know how it works. None of it. And she doesn't know how to use it, either.
Also, none of them can type. Not a one. They don't want to learn how, because "everything is on my phone."
And you know, maybe that's where we're headed. Maybe one day, everything will be on "my phone" and computers as we know them will be a thing of the past. But for the time being, they're not. Students need to learn how to use computers. They need to learn how to type. No one is telling them this, because people think teenagers are "digital natives." And to an extent, they are, but the definition of that has changed radically in the last 20-30 years. Today it means "everything is on my phone."

How to Remove Password/Face ID from iPhone
youtube
If you’ve forgotten your password, entered the wrong code too many times, and got the “iPhone Unavailable” message, what should you do?
First, keep entering the wrong passcode until iPhone Unavailable screen appears. Then tap the Forgot Passcode option in the bottom-right corner. Next, you can enter your Apple ID password to erase the device including the screen lock. 
If you’re unable to unlock your phone because you’ve forgotten your newly updated password, you can reset it within 72 hours. Just tap “Forgot Passcode” in the bottom-right corner, enter your previous password, and then reset your password from there.
The third method is using iTunes. Log in to your iTunes account and navigate to the “Summary��� section. Here, you’ll see your iPhone’s basic information. Select “Restore iPhone” and iTunes will begin downloading the latest iOS firmware. Once the download is complete, click “Restore iPhone” again to back up your data. You’ll see a progress bar at the top indicating that the device is being prepared for restoration.
If you can’t remember your Apple ID password, you can try using TunesKit iPhone Unlocker. This multifunctional iOS unlocking tool can help users unlock disabled or unavailable iPhones, and iPads without entering the passcode. Just connect your phone to your computer and select “Unlock iOS Screen” to unlock your iPhone easily without entering any password.
