Well this is the first time I think I’ve been genuinely bloody livid about an update because of iOS 26.4.

I don’t do credit cards, only debit, which is common enough in the UK, and none of the cards I input were enough to prove I’m over 18, despite the fact I purchased the damn phone, it’s tied to my Apple ID which has my birthdate, and since we don’t have ID cards and I don’t drive, my one method of verification (that being my passport) was not accepted.

As a result I cannot change some settings on the phone I spent my own money on….. What the actual hell is this utter fucking bullshit? Age verification laws strike again. Fan fucking tastic.

this sort of unhinged fuckery is what i live for

📣Important clarifications on the new advanced flow for sideloading on Android!

1) It is a one-time process. Once you go through it, you can choose to allow installing unregistered apps indefinitely.

2) ADB installs are not affected. The waiting period does not apply to app installs via ADB.

3) It's my understanding that you don't have to keep developer options enabled after you enable the advanced flow. Once you make the change on your device, it's enabled...

Back around 2002 I went on a Scout camp to #southwales, we camped near/within #bannaubrecheiniog / #breconbeacons.
Certainly it was a short drive to a car park/lay-by and we climbed up a scree slope - kinda coming from the back (South) of Corn Du.

This is the only picture I have of the site. To the right and back of this building there was a flat area where we pitched tents, and beyond that a stream.

Behind the photographer was a small bank and a road.

If anyone has any ideas where this might be, I’d be grateful to know so I can revisit it.

I’ve searched for bothies in South Wales and come up with nothing…
