It’s cool for little things when working on an unfamiliar project or learning something new.

But don’t trust one example and read about the features you’re using.

A coin toss has two possible outcomes (possibilities). Head and tails.

There is also the extreme implausibility with a <1% probability that it will land on its edge but still more possible than 1000 heads in a row.

You should be able to use a ps5 controller with it.

Here are a couple of completely free tools to explore your goals.

Adobe’s suite isn’t the king it once was.

https://docs.krita.org/en/ (powerful image editing)

https://inkscape.org/learn/ (vector illustrations)

https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/ (animation tool)

https://cdn.openshot.org/static/files/user-guide/index.html (video Editor)

Most of these tools are more capable than I described and there are many more foss tools out there.

Edit: just saw the iPhone part of your message. (Sorry about that) Even an old computer is capable of using most of these. You could consider running Ubuntu on one.

I’m wondering if you could do this with squid proxy. It’s been ages since I used it but I recall the ability to write PHP apps for it that “mangle” connections.

Yeah I gave it a shot. I couldn’t either, I’m not a big fan of escape room mechanics so I was really hoping I could. Thanks for trying

Is it possible to “win” without leaving the table?

I’m wondering if this is a bit of a xy problem.

Because there’s tools like Fiddler and Hoppscotch that come to mind but it’s a bit outside your scope.

How do you feel about isometric level designs with a z axis? (Think Zomboid, if you’re familiar)

(I literally tried to remove all the quick settings, but there’s a minimum!)

Oh yes, this bothered me deeply the first time I encountered it.

I’ve been doing tech support for a couple decades and I have had the pleasure of training many people from all walks of life on how to use these things. Some of them never used a smartphone or even wanted it.

In the early days blackberry had an edge with the keyboard and minimal apps. It was very corporate and standardized.

As we moved onto early android phones it did have very helpful features to make it more like a dumb feature phone. Using these was a huge boon with those that didn’t care to learn how to use them or really just didn’t get it.

As time went on, these features were dropped or made irrelevant by other invasive features (like the busier and busier notification drawer)

What I found curious was many of these helpful features didn’t go away entirely but were locked behind a secret corporate mode. This more extreme level of control is typically exposed through MDM software.

I’ve found over the years that apple devices (these also have a corpo mode) are easier for the elderly to use as the UI has largely stayed the same and the OS treats you like you’re dumb. It has better accessibility options and my elderly customers love talking to siri.

I feel like as the knobs and levers generations dies out; the attention manufacturers and designers put towards this demographic dwindle drastically.

I remember the old GameBoy with the contrast knob on the side was super useful, and something like that may be useful. But there is also the argument if you’ve reached this point in life today, you’re probably not going to use it unless forced to. And teaching people who feel forced into something is unproductive and often makes them more afraid of technology. Some would say leave them to the wolves by this point. (not how I feel)

I told their grandmother how silly they are.

Straightened them right out. (Happened with my close friends family)

Trade in offer poor value.

I can sell mine often for 3x what they offer.

I’m a big fan of init 0. My friends say I’m living on the edge but if an application can’t handle it, I don’t want it.

For web APIs you can play with the program postman to get a feel for them. It doesn’t do soap well though.

Each currency has foss software that pairs with it.

Some of them require serious hardware to run locally but they can generate a wallet for you.

It’s crucial you back that up.

I doubt it. I’ve seen people try to fix pressure damage with a flame with mixed results.

The frame is potentially warped if you’re able to adjust it, you could luck out. But understand it’s more likely to get worse.

I had a pretty extreme fear of driving and I went through therapy (CBT & medicines) to cope with my ability to pay attention and my anxieties about safety.

I was denied job after job for not having a license. Told it was more important than a high-school diploma even when the job had nothing to do with travel.

Seek out a qualified professional, your insurance may even be capable of helping here if you sell them on the idea its for coping with the accident you just experienced.

Yeah that’s pretty much what I was going for.

Kinda surprised about the downvotes but glad people came out to comment about it anyways.

Are you using an OLED screen?

I had to tinker with mine a fair bit before my PS1 looked good on it.

They aren’t doing anything special like that. If you’re experiencing problems like that it’s likely caused by an incumbent party. Check that your DNS records aren’t being tampered with.
