    Virus__ reacted to maartendc in iOS 17 update could open your iPhone to third-party app stores   
    It is probably good that it is an option but, honestly, I am not really going to use this.
     
    As an iPhone and former Android user, as someone who has jailbroken their iPhone in the past... these days I just need it to do what it does out of the box. I think a lot of Apple users see their "walled garden" approach as a feature, not a bug. Users prone to tinkering with their devices probably buy something else and put a custom ROM on it.
     
    Honestly, the only reason I had ever jailbroken my phone was to install pirated apps... And while there were some other cool custom things I could do with the jailbroken iOS, that was really the main reason. Just as all those people who claim they need emulation and custom firmware on their Playstation, Xbox and Nintendo consoles for "preservation purposes" and to "play ROMS that they dumped themselves, because they definitely own the cartridges": let's be honest, 95% of people use these tools for piracy.
     
    I guess the good thing about 3rd party app stores is potentially opening up the possibility of a kind of "Epic games store" on iOS that charges developers less than 30% of their revenue... that would be a positive development.

    Hey. My WAN Show Desk Pad showed up today. 1200x500 in size, love it. So much room for activities. Will be good when I use my desk for building LEGO or other stuff & doing repairs.

    New fridge for the old man. He's still in hospital, so mum & I made the executive decision to upgrade his fridge for him whilst he is away. Will use about 1/3 the power over his old one, better suited for him too being in a wheelchair to access the fridge. It's a nice fridge, and it's also nice to have something brand new with decent warranty.

    Since my old man is in hospital & will be there for a while after some major surgery that saved his life. I got him a new TV for his room for when he comes home. He was rocking my old (10 years old) TCL 32 inch HD TV. I saw there was a 32 inch Sony on sale for almost $200 off, so I grabbed that for him. It's an Android TV, but I got him an Apple TV a few years ago that he uses for YouTube, Kayo (subscription to live sports) & free to air TV. It's actually got quite a good image even if it is only 720P, great colours as well. Will probably get him a small soundbar of some sort as well, because well, TV speakers suck & are way too tinny.

    Just one problem, I think you may have sent me the northern hemisphere version by mistake?

    I love it! Can't wait to show my oldman and then use it this weekend putting my BBQ back together! 

    Apparently the Torx and Metric Hex bits are on back order...any idea when they'll be available?

    Virus__ reacted to LinusTech in Shape Sorter Toy is a safely hazard and should be removed from sale immediately   
    We've gone through a battery of safety certifications and tests. I'm super not worried about this. 
     
    Also my kids had plenty of plywood-based toys. A couple splinters came off here and there and it was okay. Again, not worried about this.
     
    Thanks so much for flagging this for us, though. We take the safety of our products EXTREMELY seriously, which is why this one has taken so long to bring to market.
