A sobering statistic:

Trump won with the support of just 75 million votes in a country with 335 million citizens.

In other words, just 22 percent of the US citizens decided to drive the country off a cliff, and everyone else is now going down with them.

All of the digital assistants appear to be degrading to me. I suspect directing consumers to paid ‘AI’ versions which allegedly work, are the corporate plan.

You may have overlooked Snapseed. Free as in beer, surprisingly full featured.

Artificial marketing segmentation by selling obsolete tech taken to bloody extremes. USB 2.0 is an insult

As Trump campaign polling craters, Vance, The gift that keeps on giving 🤣🤣🤣

He’s motivated by Attention, Grifting and not going to jail.

He will throw GOP & the cult under the bus by dropping out after he’s finished strip mining them of every penny and seek a pardon in exchange for a promise to call off the cult.

Like Nixon he will do anything to avoid jail

Not PTSD, a malignant narcissist obsessed with himself.

Thanks for your suggestion. It’s not listed in my App Store (Australia)

Yes, I tested the ‘Go’ version which allows 3 day trial before levying a subscription.

Based on that I purchased the ‘Pro’ version as it meets my needs well and I hate farking subscriptions lol

• Beware there are imitators with almost identical app names and identical app descriptions.

You want the app by Stratospherix

‘File Browser’ looks promising. Comes in 3 versions, less featured one off purchase, full featured subscription version (Go) or full featured one off purchase (Pro).

Has been in the App Store many years, still in active development. Affordable. Will probably plump for this if nothing better is suggested.

• This is the app by Stratospherix. There are imitators in the App Store

Thank you very much for your suggestion. This looks like a more reasonably priced solution. After re-reading the description I note the developers say that it EXTENDS the iOS Files app, in other words I can access files already present ‘on your phone’.

One thing I’ve taken for granted on other platforms is simple batch operations. Want to rename MORE THAN one file? I’m SOL on the Apple Files app.

I make do with (buggy) homebrew shortcuts at the moment for such things.

Waze has a toggle called ‘avoid difficult intersections’.

Additionally, Waze has crowd sourced real time traffic hazard reporting (every Waze user can contribute).

Well, apart from the fact that it’s NOT Google, (which I used for over a decade), the big selling point for a small business person is EMAIL. Apple do a good job of Email/Contacts/Calendar/File whereas Android struggles. Try accessing a third party Exchange email account on Android … yikes!

iCloud offers cheap reliable multi domain email hosting and the iOS Mail client sucks less than any other mobile email clients, at least in my experience.

I perceive Apple as, at least, a little more respectful of my privacy than Alphabet which is up there with Meta in profligate privacy abuse.

Another consideration is I can rely on Apple to keep incrementally improving devises/OS’s whereas Alphabet has become much less reliable in terms of introducing services then capriciously terminating those services. Every Android handset is a bespoke experience…

I use Linux (Debian Stable) on my desktop & BSD on my Servers.

I would love to use a mobile device running an open source OS such as Linux, it’s not viable yet.

Honestly can’t find anything but iOS that is workable for my use case. Sadly

K-9 FTW!

3gb of ram is always going to deliver a sub par experience. Set your limit at phones with 4gb ram as a minimum.

Having said that, Motorola has traditionally done a lot with the available ram on their devices, its just that Android is becoming more ram hungry with each successive iteration.

TY 👍🏻
