Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for December 21, 2024

She put pictures and apps where she can find them, but can he find them?

And as long as he didn’t break anything,Santa kept him on the Nice list.

My youngest daughter is very tech savvy. She shows me a lot of things about my phone that I don’t even know it has.

Daryl, you have become AI. Your intelligence is now artificial.

so Darryl doesn’t have a lock on his phone?

Amazing!

Now he’ll spend the rest of the day putting them back in the order he had/wanted them in originally.

Kids today really know their phones!

She also copied his credit card numbers to her phone.

I was reading a blog & related discussion recently – about how young programmers brought up on phones/tablets lack a basic understanding of the inner workings of computers because as technology has advanced and become more user friendly they are shielded from having to know about it.

My experience is kids aren’t afraid of technology (probably aren’t worried about breaking it and no idea they should find it complex) and are going to explore it like kids of my generation did with the VCR.

Just say thank you, Darryl. She’s a good kid to be looking out for you like that.

If she updated all his apps, half of them are likely broken or useless due to all the adverts.

Would this alleged tennis ball a rock and the wall the in question the interior of your cave?

It isn’t any harder to organize your apps, create folders for pics, update the operating system, optimize storage etc than it is to throw a tennis ball against a wall. Better for your eyes to do the tennis ball thing though.

Good thing Darryl had all his ‘special’ pictures of Wanda in a hidden and password protected file.

Some of my coworkers give their work phones to their kids to play with. They download apps that promise some functionality, but their main function is to act as a launcher. It hides the true user interface and funnels ads to the phone and breaks the “work side’

When I was a kid, do not think mom bought us toys to play with, basic Christmas.

At her age Darryl you didn’t have to worry about getting gunned down in school either and could play outside until the street lights came on, so it was a pretty good trade off.

Reminds me of a website one would become familiar with how to navigate. Someone than goes and changes the website to make it “easier” to use. ARGH!

Why was Darryl in the cooler at such a young age? Oh. Hammie Sr. Makes sense.

And only took a small fee via Apple Pay

My SIL and I were talking about sending stuff to Office Depot to be printed since neither of us has a printer and I said you know you can scan some documents from your phone and keep them on a cloud for when you need them? She said where is that on my phone? I said look for your Files and then just click on where it says Scan and the phone should automatically save it unless you want it elsewhere you keep documents like Google Drive. Scanned documents I think can be used for legal purposes over a screen shot.

Kids and their gizmos.

Yes, it has. I work in Technology and can’t keep up.

A reply to the ‘toon…And there you have it!

“Optimizing storage” on an iPhone includes things like pushing all photos into the cloud (and signing up for a monthly fee to store them) and leaving only low-resolution thumbnails on the phone (fine if you never, never, never find yourself in a “dead zone” wanting to show somebody a picture) and “off-loading” seldom-used apps (which means removing the app itself but keeping the data on the assumption you can always re-install it if you want to use it).

Darryl is screwed.

I don’t care if it’s my phone or my kitchen, do not rearrange my things.

And who knows what “parental controls” she added to keep him in line and out of trouble.
