Apple aren’t particularly strict about cookies at all, they pretty much use the standard ‘accept from sites I visit’ unless you’ve been fiddling with the settings.

This site uses Maryland Cookies tho, so I guess that might be the problem.

I used to pronounce those 'Marryland' as in Baltimore, Maryland because they're American and I'm super smart so I know how it's properly pronounced. Then I saw an advert where they said it Mary as in Mary, then I found out the company that makes them is English. Now I refuse to eat them as each bite is like having my own pretentiousness shoved down my throat.

You can't escape your cookie shame.

Yeah but I’m sitting on my sofa just trying stuff out and don’t really want to prop up my phone. I think I’d use a controller on the iPad once it’s updated.

Best way to play it. PS4 controller and iPad and it's a superb title. I found the controls to be way off on mobile.

So, tried a few Apple Arcade titles. I really think Apple have knocked it out of the park with this.

Played so far:

Sayonora Wild Hearts - Works best on iPad with a controller.
Mini Motorways - Improves on Mini Metro. Probably my fave so far. Just needs a couple of tweaks and it's perfect.
Bleak Sword - Roguelike Dark Soulsy 8 bit thing. Works really well on iPhone because the control scheme is extremely well thought out.
What The Golf - Funny meta-golf piss-take. Good one to show your pals.

Tried a couple of duds too, but so far so great.

Airplay question. There appear to be apps that say they let you use Airplay on the Play Store.

Could this be used to send stuff from an iOS device to an Android TV/Fire stick? Or are they just trash?

I would also like to know this, and whether there’s owt on nvidia shield to make it work.

Not 100% sure, but if it is anything like Airdrop it's Apple to Apple. Airplay may be more versatile, though, as it has wider implementations.  That's not very helpful, sorry.

They’re opening up AirPlay. I can now throw stuff from my iPhone and iPad to my Samsung TV.

Ah that's cool. Wasn't 100 sure as they'd talked about opening up a few of their proprietary things over the years and never did (hello, Facetime). Airplay makes sense, though.

I just re-read your question. How are you going to get an app on the Play store onto an iOS device? Or am I missing something?

Exactly.

I have complaints to make about iOS 13.

Firstly this is the second time I’ve typed this post. The first one was lost because some stray swipe or something set something off, some other screen came up and I ended up going to page 309 of this thread. I don’t know what happened or how to stop it happening again.

Private browsing mode used to be dark and normal was white. Now they’re both white apart from private has a black address bar. Or they’re both dark in dark mode. Now I end up having to double check I’m in private mode all the time. What am I doing in private mode so much? That’s.....private.

Dark mode is piss.

Searching for a word on a web page has gone. It’s gone. You can’t do it anymore. Or if you can it’s been moved somewhere.

Mainly though the text selection is insanely fucked. It keeps going wrong. Options just not coming up, not being able to wiggle the selection lines where you want. Sometimes it works fine, sometimes it just doesn’t work at all.

I experienced my first old man “why do they have to keep bloody changing things?” with this upgrade.

The only thing that’s annoying me at the moment is the speed of a long press is too quick. I keep on opening previews of links when trying to scroll through pages. Other than that, I’m finding it decent.

Not even having particular issues with text selection. Well, nothing worse than I had on iOS 12.

I find making all emails as read more annoying now.

That was annoying me too:

Under Settings > Accessibility > Touch > 3D Haptic Touch > Touch Duration, set to slow.

They probably changed it because they want no one to have 3D Touch

A bit of a random addition to this thread, but it's a really old Playboy interview with Steve Jobs.
http://reprints.longform.org/playboy-interview-steve-jobs

It's a strange read.

As a taster:

Steve Jobs wrote:

The most compelling reason for most people to buy a computer for the home will be to link it into a nationwide communications network. We’re just in the beginning stages of what will be a truly remarkable breakthrough for most people—as remarkable as the telephone.

That was in 1985, but still a deep answer...

Replace ‘intellectual’ with ‘id’ and maybe we are.
