    Sounds like some alarmist bullshit as I’ve been using the alarm app without any problems for years. I’m well to the left of the statistically
    artifactual D-K graph that keeps being used as a kid’s toy cap gun here and
    I can still get the alarm on my iPhone to work every day.

    iPhone and the iOS 17 update have had quite a run this year when it
    comes to unwanted bugs. It was reported earlier this month that a weird
    bug triggered the app switcher while typing on the keyboard. iPhone 15
    Pro suffered overheating problems while charging, and it was fixed in
    the iOS 17.0.2 update.

    The NFC chips on the iPhone 15 series were reportedly breaking down
    after being charged wirelessly through certain BMW and Toyota Supra
    models. Apple acknowledged it in an internal memo and released the iOS
    17.1.1 update last month to address the issue. The update also fixed
    the Weather lock screen widget, which was showing incorrect weather conditions.

    It is that way. I see reality. Good luck trying to find posts from you

    that affect relatively few users to ridiculous freak outs about Apple
    daring to release a yellow iPhone, all you do is troll here.

    you will defend Apple to the death.

    Adults will note that I haven't defended Apple even once in this thread.

    Hi Hemidactylus,

    The response below assumes you're an adult...

    I didn't respond directly to your DK assertions because it was clear to me
    that you don't understand what DK is all about - and yet - you dislike it.

    Who does that?
    Nobody right?

    Yet you did it.

    You spent all your time furiously googling for rebuttals to D-K but you
    spent utterly zero time reading the seminal papers to understand it.

    If I thought that you understood what D-K is all about, then (and only
    then) would I take anything you say about it seriously, Hemidactylus.

    Think about it this way, Hemidactylus.
    a. nospam constantly fabricates imaginary wi-fi debugging apps, right?
    How do you expect me to take _anything_ nospam says seriously then?

    b. Alan Browne insists he's never experienced the walled garden, right?
    How do you expect me to take seriously _anything_ Alan says then?

    c. Jolly Roger constantly claims Apple fully patches older releases, right?
    How do you expect me to take seriously _anything_ JR says then?

    You are an intellectually dishonest thug. Full
    stop. Most people, excepting badgolfingman, can smell that rotting rat carcass of your reputation here.

    You have no idea what the D-K papers actually said, Hemidactylus.
    That's patently obvious to everyone. Even to you.

    You couldn't summarize what the seminal papers said if you tried.
    Yet you want me to take seriously you don't like what you don't understand?

    See above examples of iKooks saying ridiculous things and then wanting to
    be taken seriously Hemidactylus.

    If you showed me that you actually _understood_ the D-K concepts, then (and only then) would I take anything you say about it seriously, Hemidactylus.

    Do you have a table of contents for other newsgroups?
    Particularly for the Android & news server newsgroups?

    Oh, he can smell it too. It's just he *likes* the smell. He gleefully supports his lame trolls. His posting record shows that he rarely
    disagrees with his trolls. He tries to be more subtle about it, but
    he's not fooling anyone who pays attention.

    Please, think of that as a logical adult would think of that, Jolly Roger.

    If Steve or nospam or badgolferman or Hank or Alan or Joerg or anyone says something sensible... and then someone else *agrees* with their sentient
    logic, why do you find that act of agreeing with logic so reprehensible?

    The difference is we can disagree amicably without getting into a
    pissing contest.

    I agree with badgolferman, and, in fact, there's plenty of evidence
    backing up his statement and mine.

    I think it's very clear to the _adults_ on this newsgroup that I'll
    agree with anyone who presents a logically sensible opinion based on
    facts.

    You guys don't even realize it, but the way these articles come to me
    is in VIM, where I don't even know whom I'm responding to unless I
    explicitly look.

    As badgolferman does, I'll agree with Steve when he's saying
    something sensible; and I'll disagree with Steve when he says
    something illogical.

    Same with nospam. And Jolly Roger. Same even with Hemidactylus, or
    Alan Browne.

    Hell, I'd agree with Alan Baker if he ever said something that made
    sense.

    If someone says something sensibly logical given their assessment of
    the facts, I'll agree with them. Only a fool would disagree with
    facts.

    That's why they're fools.

    You haven’t acknowledged that DKE has flaws as a statistical artifact though you weaponized it. You are an intellectually dishonest thug.
    Full stop. Most people, excepting badgolfingman, can smell that
    rotting rat carcass of your reputation here.

    Oh, he can smell it too. It's just he *likes* the smell. He gleefully
    supports Arlen's lame trolls. His posting record shows that he rarely
    disagrees with Arlen's trolls. He tries to be more subtle about it, but
    he's not fooling anyone who pays attention.

    I often ignore posts from Google. Use a real news client instead.

    I'm not sure which forum id corresponds to which Usenet group at the
    site. I believe some are linked and and some of them are not linked
    to USENET. There are about 4000 or so forum sections (according to a
    posting I saw) but doesn't seem as all of them are public. I
    responded to another post that if any group is missing there, the
    admin is responsive to adding it. I've asked for many groups over the
    years to be added. On another thread I follow, mobile.android was
    requested and was added but has yet been filled. Usually takes them a
    day or two.
