Apple cuts off Beeper Mini’s access after launch of service that brought iMessage to Android in c/apple_enthusiast@lemmy.world

Isn’t it funny that every tech commenter was like “Apple would have to re-engineer their whole iMessage stack if they want to cut off access to Beeper Mini”?

Is it possible to record the video feed out of the Apple TV’s new capability of using iOS device camera to see the video feed on Apple Music? (lemmy.one)
 

(Longest question ever, I know)

So I’ve been playing around with the new feature on tvOS to use my iPhone camera to see oneself on the tv screen when singing along Apple Music tracks. But I can’t for the life of me figure out how to record what’s on the screen.

Is it even possible? If so, how?

Thanks.

Is it possible to get back the Apple TV Now Playing controls to the iPhone lock screen/Dynamic Island on iOS 17? (lemmy.one)
 

Before iOS 17, if I was watching something on my Apple TV, both my wife and I would get a Now Playing widget on our iPhones' lock screens.

Also, if I was using the Remote app, when going to the home screen, the Now Playing controls would go to the Dynamic Island.

This has always been pretty handy because we barely have to use the Apple TV physical remote, since everything was easy to control from our iPhones.

Well, with iOS 17 I can't seem to find how to make my iPhone/Apple TV do the same thing -- not to mention that now it takes a good 1-2 seconds for the Remote app to connect to the Apple TV.

Does anybody know whether these features are gone for good on iOS 17?

PS: When something is playing on the Apple TV, I do get a notification on my iPhone with the Apple TV logo that says what's playing, although even though it has a down arrow, it's not clickable. It's just sitting there.

And the voices don’t match the vibe of the comics

This one’s a bit tricky since many people would have different interpretations of it.

You can also seamlessly download videos on all of your devices, on top of their own music streaming service.

I’m sure you can get all of it for free somehow, but there’s a point in life that convenience is more important. Also, the family plan is dirt cheap if you consider all you get.

Does it feel like the fediverse is exclusively used by older tech nerds? in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

I use Ivory for browsing Mastodon, and I’d bet that the app is more polished than any other first-party social media app.

The problem with Mastodon (and Lemmy to some extent) is that the onboarding process is not as straightforward, thus causing some friction for the less tech-savvy users.
