No, you can add any app you want. It’s just that the app will not change and has no simplified UI like the first-party apps.

Steam discussions seem to imply there is still something happening https://steamcommunity.com/app/1444480/discussions/0/7674379... But communication is definitely subpar. I completed it a few years ago, was fun but having prior knowledge about digital circuits is a must have in my opinion.

Anyone who likes this should also take a look at: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1444480/Turing_Complete/ At the end you have your own CPU with your own assembly language. Sadly stuck in early access since forever with some very rough edges

Yeah, no backup on iOS is such a huge turnoff. What you live in the real world and lost or damaged your phone? All your messages and pictures you not exported one by one are gone, backups in 2025 no way, who has every been using such a thing? Maybe in 2035.

It's just said that Apple seems to not care. Just to add to this long list:

Open a link from an email on an iPhone or iPad, then go back to Mail by tapping on the top left corner. If you now delete an email, this email gets deleted but the view does not update to move to the next email. If you now hit delete again, you are deleting the next email without noticing it.

Yes, the OS function works fine. Haven't used the app in a while, just had it still installed. I just found this by searching for "proxy-gw1-europe.squidyproxy.com" which seemed odd when I found it in my .ssh/known_hosts file.

The assumption from the forum discussions is that it has nothing to do with other AirTags as the battery goes back to normal when people remove their AirTag.

I had the tag on my bike which is the basement so 3 floors down. It just barely reached it from my bedroom, still very impressive. The assumption is that it has something to to with the tracking prevention where the iPhone is somehow telling the AirTag that it is still in the vicinity. If the AirTags is at the edge of the receiving/sending radius this might need a lot more power. Maybe due to retransmission, etc and therefor for causes my battery drain over night.

I'm not sure this solves any problem users have. Due to the nature of Signal requiring the phone number of the counter part to be in the phone book this feature will mostly be usable with friends or people you know directly. A feature which some users might want is to easily send money to a friend. These transfers will therefor be inherently be based on the countries currency. I'm not sure people will accept a cryptocurrency which value fluctuates in relation to the normal currency.

For other uses cases they can use a cryptocurrency directly (even MobileCoin) from another app. I can understand that cryptocurrencies are very interesting from a technical and cryptographic point of view. But in their current state most of them a more for speculation and doing state of the art computer science.

Therefore I think this totally useless in the signal app.
