Star Trek: very Short Treks | "Worst Contact"
  • This one had a couple of turns of phrase that smacked of an inexperienced Trek writer: Riker introduced himself as "Commanding officer William Riker" (rather than "Commander" or "First Officer"), and Crusher called him "Bill" rather than "Will".

    On the bright side, I can rationalise these as evidence that this is far from a canon story. 🤣

    Rob & Kev planned to turn this entire episode over to a friendly computer super-intelligence, but it was down for a software update, so they recorded their thoughts on "In the Cradle of Vexilon" all by themselves. They also explored other lessons in leadership from Star Treks past, including "The Galileo Seven" (TOS), "Good Shepherd" (VOY), "Pen Pals" (TNG), and "Valiant" (DS9).

    Subspace Radio | Episode 39: Camp Trek (SNW 2×09 Subspace Rhapsody)

    Kev & Rob agree that "Subspace Rhapsody" had its charms, but didn't quite live up to the hype, and that "Bride of Chaotica!" (VOY) is the last time going over the top into silliness was the point of an episode. Finally, as a bonus, Rob re-watched Star Trek III: The Search for Spock and was surprised by how much he enjoyed it!

    iOS 16 & 17 - Share sheet all apps missing
  • Resolved! But still mysterious.

    I decided to try uninstalling and reinstalling every recently updated app on my phone, starting with my TestFlight apps. The first one I tried, Pocket Casts, doesn’t even have a Share Sheet extension, but after uninstalling it and rebooting my phone, my Share Sheet looks normal again! Reinstalling the Pocket Casts build did not reintroduce the problem.

    I had definitely tried uninstalling and reinstalling several apps with Share Sheet extensions before to no avail, but this was the first TestFlight build I had tried uninstalling since the issue arose.

    YMMV.

  • iOS 16 & 17 - Share sheet all apps missing

    Anyone have any ideas on how to resolve an issue I'm having on my iPhone where the share sheet only shows AirDrop, Messages, Mail, News, and Books? I have many, many apps installed that offer share extensions (Facebook, Instapaper, Things, among many others), and many of Apple's own apps (e.g. Notes) are missing from this list too.

    You'll note from my screenshots that the missing apps are not listed under More.

    What I've tried so far:

    1. Reboot my iPhone
    2. Delete and reinstall some of the missing apps
    3. Upgrade from iOS 16.5.1c to iOS 17 Public Beta 1
    4. Reset All Settings

    None of these have made any difference to the issue.

    [Facebook federation megathread] Downvote this post if you want lemm.ee to federate with Threads. (Updated)
  • I’m happy to manage my own subscriptions and block settings to hide any content from Threads or other instances I may not enjoy. I don’t need my instance doing that for me.

    My understanding of the argument for defederation is basically “but they might monetise all our social graphs”, but our content is publicly available on the Internet, so they can do that regardless.

  • Best Mail App - your thoughts
  • If you're on Gmail, buy Mimestream for Mac and never look back.

    If you're not using Google for your email, and/or you're looking for something on iPhone then it's a tougher choice. I wrote an extensive review of the options not too long ago and landed on Spark, but your priorities may be different from mine. Have a look and see what you think: https://kevinyank.com/posts/email-apps/

  • Advice for troubleshooting frequent random iPhone resprings?

    For several months now, but with increasing frequency in recent days, my iPhone 13 mini will randomly respring (crash to black screen with spinner, then back to the Lock Screen) multiple times a day. I notice this happening often within the first 30 seconds after unlocking my phone, but it could also be happening in my pocket throughout the day without me knowing.

    When iPhone resprings, is there any record of the cause logged that would help me narrow down what app or setting could be causing this?
