Link to photon UI?

Edit: Are you taking about this one?

I knew it. Totally smelled like a new ENV variable. Thanks.

We all do what we can. For example my calendar is self hosted and managed personally. Apple is simply a client using Caldav.

Wow. What a zinger? No really, great addition to the discussion. Thank you.

No, probably not. Love em or hate them, they have a pretty good record on privacy going back decades.

Google though. lol. I mean that’s THE largest advertisement company to ever exist. The same company who finally admitted they were selling their browser’s incognito data.

That 3rd party app with the better widget calendar is for sure selling.

This is why I self host invidious. I enjoy YouTube content, but I want a clean, targeted experience when viewing videos.

This is also why I self host FreshRSS and use a client like Lire. I want clean and targeted news feeds.

This is why I haven’t had cable in 20 years and self hosted my own videos by legally purchasing dvds/blurays and ripping them. ( later adding ad free subscriptions ). I hate commercials with a passion and refuse to experience them ever again.

All of this has allowed me to have a very controlled experience and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I’m not running iOS18 beta. I don’t have an app called Feedback. ???

And for the record, the specific calendar widget the user posted from iOS 18 looks exactly the same as the one in iOS 17.

This whole thread is pointless.

It still looks terrible IMO.

Edit:

I agree. Luckily the iOS 18 one is a little better.

It’s not differentl. It’s the same as iOS17.

Why it’s terrible.

• What are the “2 all-day events”?
• Why is HALF of the widget wasted white space.
• why are there 3 more events if half of the widget is wasted white space.

Edit: I’m familiar with the widget. I don’t need someone explaining to me how to click on a widget. I get it. I also understand it’s different than the one I posted. It’s called “Up Next”.

Despite which one you pick, they’re all poorly designed. It takes up a third of the screen and does a bad job at presenting as much information as possible within reason.

Edit 2: That specific calendar widget you posted from ios18 beta looks exactly the same as it does in ios17. This thread is pointless.

I caught it. Seems others didn’t.

Silly me for thinking the point of the widget was to allow you to see your week at a glance.

But you see you’re wrong. We know how on device wake words work. I’m sorry, your vice article from 2018 is out of date.

Edit: I think I get it. You don’t know the difference between someone saying a microphone is always on (hot) for processing a wake word vs saying the microphone is always on (hot) for data collection. It’s two very different concepts. We know how wake words are processed. It’s done on chip in the device. Nothing is being sent across the internet.

We also have monitored cell phones when using wake words. There’s no network connectivity happening during that processing time. It’s easy to check.

Of course that doesn’t mean it will never happen in the future or that devices haven’t already been made to do so. We do know consumer cell phones do not appear to be doing this. Again, it would be obvious with suspicious battery drain and network activity.

but they already are

Not in the context of this post thread.

“ Always listening ” would suggest they are recording at all times in a way that can be used for advertising.

It’s already well understood wake words are processed on device.

It most likely is.

I highly doubt phones are always listening. Surely at some point by now there would be proof.

There’s no evidence of extra network activity ( your data would be through the roof ).

There’s no evidence of battery drain.

This is of course the phone OS we are talking about. Software like TikTok or Meta could / be when allowed to by the user.
