List of birthdays of the different MCs of Hogwarts Legacy

🎉 Hi everyone! 🎂

Inspired by a similar post from @magomo, I thought it would be nice to compile all the birthdays of the MCs from the Hogwarts Legacy fandom.👉👈

This post could also be useful for planning an event, or something special to celebrate your favourite MCs on a significant date or simply to wish them a happy birthday!✨️

For this post to be consistent:

. Your character must be an MC in the game or an MC in one of your fanworks.

. Your character must fit into the timeline/canon of the game and not just live in the same era.

. Please provide the complete date of birth of the MC, their full name and surname, their house, either in a comment, reblog or message. 😊

. If for any reason you no longer want your MC to appear on this post, please let me know in the same way.

Beltane - Part 4 It all starts -> here (incl prequel)

The Boys spend a wonderful day together and it was so good to see Noxee again (and even Greg ;) They'd been on their own in the Otherworld (only with Arturo from time to time) for months now. Time for the fireworks and 'traditional' (says Greg) Beltane Canons before Ji Ho's spell fades!

Noxee looks so beautiful. (The way Greg looks at her <3)

And then the 'traditional' Beltane Fire broke out! (We also had a fire at Beltane last year...) The whole Beltane 2023 episodes are -> here

Greg to Jack: "Is this your fault?" Jack: "What? No!" (of course it is -.-)

The spell faded slowly and it's time to part. Greg, Jeb, Kiyoshi and Vlad will stay here, at Hotel Elvis, and Noxee, Jack and Saiwa will spend the night at the Campeggio (campsite), where the Boys had spent their last summer holidays. Before they left, Vlad went over to them to charge the Bond. He felt that Ji Ho will need more than the usual today because he is so exhausted from the ride and the spell. But he wasn't with the others.

Vlad: "Where is he?"

Saiwa: "We brought him to your room. He's too tired to make it all the way up to the campeggio. You will care for him. Properly." Vlad: "What? I told you I wont go any further with him! The spell is still affecting me. If I have to be near him, alone with him - I am not that strong. When he tries to kiss me again..." Saiwa: "He's your bonded and you already did anything imaginable with him! Ji Ho did everything so we can spend this day together! You know he's the most sensible of us and how much he suffers because we are apart from each other! We are going to do our best to be together again with the help from Tiny Can and the Therapy Game and until then, Ji Ho's well-being is your concern!"

Saiwa: "Have a good night!" Vlad to Jack: "Stay with us!" Jack chuckles: "Vlad. I love you - but I won't do that. He needs you." Saiwa: "Let's go, Jack!"

Vlad sighed and went upstairs to their room. He refuses to get physical with Ji Ho as long as he is not able to love him. But Vlad also knows how much Ji Ho longs for physical intimacy with him. When Vlad entered the room, he found Ji Ho collapsed on the floor. He was so exhausted, he must have been trying to take a shower to hydrate but it wasn't enough. They need to charge the bond. Thoroughly.

Ji Ho knows that Vlad is only reluctantly charging the Bond and refuses any interaction that involves anything romantic until he's able to love him.

Vlad approached Ji Ho to embrace him to charge the Bond. Ji Ho: "Vlad. This won't be enough - I tried everything to avoid it but I..." Vlad: "Don't worry. Come."

Ji Ho: "Forgive me." Vlad: "Shh."

It's the same room where Jeb and Sai spent their second date!

Ji Ho: "I will be yours, I promise." Vlad: "I know. Don't worry. Do whatever is necessary for you to heal. I will be fine." Ji Ho: "Wait for me." Vlad: "Always." (They are speaking of Ji Ho's ingame wedding with Caleb.)

'How many beautiful baths together and alter in the night Close, close I shiver a bit Don't try to deny that tonight, if I insist I will have you So small and fragile you seem to me and I'm making a mistake

So small next to me. And fragile, or not. But you're more strong than I am'

'Quanti bagni mozzafiato insieme e poi di sera vicino vicino a me tremi un pò Non cercare di negare che stasera magari se insisto io ti avrò.

Così piccola e fragile mi sembri tu e sto sbagliando di più. Così piccola accanto a me e fragile o no ma in fondo sei molto più forte di me!'

Piccola e Fragile - Drupi

Outtakes

Here they laughed together <3

Until Ji Ho got a message from Leander ^^'

No festival without chaos...

Hi babe😭 can I ask what you use for fake messages because I just spent a dollar on the ifake app someone said they use but apparently it’s not on iOS so I don’t know what I just bought 💔

Hi pookie! So personally I am an Android user so I do use ifake, picture below to be specific ( peep my dog in the back)

But I have asked my friend if she could look up an iOS alternative for you, this is what she found. The second one has a better rating. Now I can't vouch for any of these, so you're gonna have to go through some trial and error.

Also, I have never spent any money on these, there is always a free alternative.

Also, thank you @hewinsinmonza-16 for searching for it for me(⁠•⁠ө⁠•⁠)⁠♡

PSA for iPhone Users

Apple Intelligence is now able to read messages sent using the app Signal.

If you have an iPhone 15 or 16 and you have downloaded iOS 18.1, you will need to either completely disable Apple Intelligence or simply ensure it is not enabled for Signal. Otherwise, it will be able to scan and read the content of your messages in the app.

To do so: 1. Go to Settings 2. Scroll to Apps 3. Select Signal 4. Turn off "Learn from this app" and the other two settings.

It is also suggested that, at a minimum, you turn off Apple Intelligence for your financial- and travel-related apps. You may want to also follow these steps if you are an iPad user.

OpenAI’s 12 Days of “Shipmas”: Summary and Reflections

Over 12 days, from December 5 to December 16, OpenAI hosted its “12 Days of Shipmas” event, revealing a series of innovations and updates across its AI ecosystem. Here’s a summary of the key announcements and their implications:

Day 1: Full Launch of o1 Model and ChatGPT Pro

OpenAI officially launched the o1 model in its full version, offering significant improvements in accuracy (34% fewer errors) and performance. The introduction of ChatGPT Pro, priced at $200/month, gives users access to these advanced features without usage caps.

Commentary: The Pro tier targets professionals who rely heavily on AI for business-critical tasks, though the price point might limit access for smaller enterprises.

Day 2: Reinforced Fine-Tuning

OpenAI showcased its reinforced fine-tuning technique, leveraging user feedback to improve model precision. This approach promises enhanced adaptability to specific user needs.

Day 3: Sora - Text-to-Video

Sora, OpenAI’s text-to-video generator, debuted as a tool for creators. Users can input textual descriptions to generate videos, opening new doors in multimedia content production.

Commentary: While innovative, Sora’s real-world application hinges on its ability to handle complex scenes effectively.

Day 4: Canvas - Enhanced Writing and Coding Tool

Canvas emerged as an all-in-one environment for coding and content creation, offering superior editing and code-generation capabilities.

Day 5: Deep Integration with Apple Ecosystem

OpenAI announced seamless integration with Apple’s ecosystem, enhancing accessibility and user experience for iOS/macOS users.

Day 6: Improved Voice and Vision Features

Enhanced voice recognition and visual processing capabilities were unveiled, making AI interactions more intuitive and efficient.

Day 7: Projects Feature

The new “Projects” feature allows users to manage AI-powered initiatives collaboratively, streamlining workflows.

Day 8: ChatGPT with Built-in Search

Search functionality within ChatGPT enables real-time access to the latest web information, enriching its knowledge base.

Day 9: Voice Calling with ChatGPT

Voice capabilities now allow users to interact with ChatGPT via phone, providing a conversational edge to AI usage.

Day 10: WhatsApp Integration

ChatGPT’s integration with WhatsApp broadens its accessibility, making AI assistance readily available on one of the most popular messaging platforms.

Day 11: Release of o3 Model

OpenAI launched the o3 model, featuring groundbreaking reasoning capabilities. It excels in areas such as mathematics, coding, and physics, sometimes outperforming human experts.

Commentary: This leap in reasoning could redefine problem-solving across industries, though ethical and operational concerns about dependency on AI remain.

Day 12: Wrap-Up and Future Vision

The final day summarized achievements and hinted at OpenAI’s roadmap, emphasizing the dual goals of refining user experience and expanding market reach.

Reflections

OpenAI’s 12-day spree showcased impressive advancements, from multimodal AI capabilities to practical integrations. However, challenges remain. High subscription costs and potential data privacy concerns could limit adoption, especially among individual users and smaller businesses.

Additionally, as the competition in AI shifts from technical superiority to holistic user experience and ecosystem integration, OpenAI must navigate a crowded field where user satisfaction and practical usability are critical for sustained growth.

Final Thoughts: OpenAI has demonstrated its commitment to innovation, but the journey ahead will require balancing cutting-edge technology with user-centric strategies. The next phase will likely focus on scalability, affordability, and real-world problem-solving to maintain its leadership in AI.

What are your thoughts on OpenAI’s recent developments? Share in the comments!

Notes de mise à jour

🌟 Nouveautés

Nous expérimentons actuellement quelques changements dans les en-têtes des billets visant à diminuer la présence redondante des avatars dans les reblogs. Cela permet de réduire l'espace vertical utilisé en plaçant différemment les indicateurs de recommandations, gagnant ainsi de la place pour l'affichage des badges, etc. Sur le Web, cette expérimentation retire également l'avatar flottant sur l'extérieur des billets et étend l'affichage de ces derniers au maximum jusqu'aux barres latérales. N'hésitez pas à contacter notre Support en utilisant la catégorie "Commentaire général" pour nous faire part de vos remarques ou suggestions.

Nous avons retiré les carrousels de blogs affichés dans la partie haute de l'onglet "Blogs notifiés" du tableau de bord (si vous aviez choisi de l'activer), leur présence augmentant considérablement le temps de chargement de l'onglet. Vous pouvez activer cet onglet dans les Labos Tumblr ou encore en utilisant le bouton expérimental de configuration des onglets du TdB (s'il apparaît chez vous).

Sur le Web, l'interface de navigation a été repensée afin d'améliorer l'expérience des nouveaux venus et des utilisateurs occasionnels. Merci d'avoir partagé vos retours qui furent une aide précieuse pour les retouches effectuées par nos équipes.

Le nouveau design des activités de la section Trafic est maintenant disponible également dans l'application (Android et iOS). Cet affichage devrait grandement faciliter l'identification des notifications non lues, celles relatives à vos chers mutus ou encore aux blogs auxquels que vous suivez.

🛠️ Correctifs

Correction d'un bug dans les carrousels de tags recommandés et associés qui pouvaient afficher le bouton "S'abonner" sur un tag déjà suivi.

Correction d'une erreur qui masquait du tableau de bord les blogs auxquels vous vous étiez réabonnés après vous être désabonné. Si jamais l'anomalie persiste, essayez de vous désabonner puis de vous abonner à nouveau au(x) blog(s) concerné(s).

Visiter un blog proposant du contenu adulte ne présente désormais plus d'avertissement si vous avez activé l'affichage de ce type de contenus.

Cliquer/Appuyer dans les éléments d'en-tête des reblogs fonctionne maintenant de façon homogène sur toutes nos plateformes (iOS, Android et Web).

Dans la Messagerie, la précision de l'année est à nouveau affichée dans l'horodatage des messages de plus d'un an.

Mercredi 16 août, des anomalies ont pu être observées dans certaines informations des blogs (telles que les avatars ou le bouton S'abonner) avant d'être rapidement résolues.

L'intégration de pistes audio Spotify fonctionne à nouveau ! Un grand merci à leurs équipes de nous avoir aidé à corriger ce problème.

🚧 En cours

Nos équipes continuent leur travail de mise à jour du Centre d'aide. Si vous constatez des articles prêtant à confusion ou obsolètes, n'hésitez pas à nous le signaler !

iOS 18.2 Public Beta 1 Brings Genmoji and More AI to Some iPhones

Since this is a beta, I recommend only downloading it on a device other than your primary device. Since this isn’t the final version of iOS 18.2, the update may have bugs and short battery life, so it’s best to keep these issues on a secondary device.

Note that the beta isn’t the final version of iOS 18.2, so there may be more features that will come to your iPhone when iOS 18.2 is released. There’s no word yet on when Apple will release iOS 18.2.

Here are some of the features that could be coming to your iPhone running iOS 18.2 soon. Just a reminder, only developers and beta testers with the iPhone 15 Pro, Pro Max, or iPhone 16 lineup have access to AI features at this time. If you have another iPhone, you won’t be able to access these features.

Genmoji There are over 3,000 emoji you can use, but sometimes you can’t find the one you really want. Genmoji is here to help. With Apple Intelligence Genmoji, you can describe the emoji you’re looking for, and your Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone will try to create new emoji based on your description.

To use Genmoji, open a message and tap the emoji keyboard in the lower-left corner of the keyboard. Then type the emoji you’re looking for in the search bar. If there’s no emoji that matches your description, tap Create New Emoji just below the search bar. Your iPhone will then show you some examples of what it came up with based on your description. You can scroll through the emoji, and when you find the Genmoji you want, tap Add in the upper-right corner to add that new emoji to your keyboard permanently.

Visual Intelligence This is Apple’s answer to Google Lens. Visual Intelligence is an Apple Intelligence feature that lets you point your camera at something, like a dog, and your iPhone will then use the image to search the internet to help you identify it. The feature can also be used to detect phone numbers to create contacts, scan QR codes, and translate languages.

You can also integrate this feature with ChatGPT to help you identify elements and better understand what’s on a page or screen. It’s important to note that you don’t need a ChatGPT account to use the integration.

This feature is also only available on the iPhone 16 lineup, where it uses the new side button to control the camera on the lineup. If you have one of the new iPhones, long-press the new side button where the SIM tray used to be to quickly open Visual Intelligence.

“Camera Control provides instant and easy access to your camera with just a tap. It lets you adjust various camera features with a simple swipe of your finger,” Apple said at its “Glowtime” event in September. “Its handy design ensures it’s always within reach.”

Image Playground This Apple Intelligence feature takes Genmoji a step further and lets you create entire images based on text queries called Image Playground. This feature is a standalone app and you can also find it in Messages by tapping the plus (+) button to the left of the text box.

The Image Playground app is filled with quick suggestions, topics, locations, and more to get you started. You can enter more queries to make the image more specific, but after I entered seven queries, a pop-up window appeared asking me to use fewer. There’s also an option to change the art style from the default 3D cartoon images to illustrations.

If you want to put yourself, your friends, family, or your pet in one of these images, you can. Tap the plus sign (+) in the lower right corner, then tap Select Image or Take Photo. You’ll still need to select or enter a query using the image.

This feature can create some pretty simple images, and it can be unintentionally funny given how weird the other images are. In one case, I selected the astronaut, artist, and lighthouse queries. One result showed what I can only describe as a look-alike astronaut leaning on an easel with blank pages behind him, opposite another easel with a drawing of a lighthouse. Stellar work..

Siri and ChatGPT flash Apple announced at WWDC in May that its virtual assistant Siri was about to enter a “new era” thanks to improvements to Apple Intelligence. And with the iOS 18.2 beta, Apple is bringing most of these improvements to some iPhones.

With Apple Intelligence, instead of a logo appearing on the screen when you activate Siri, you’ll see a glowing light around the screen. You can use Siri as usual, and you can also use ChatGPT for your queries.

I asked Siri to use ChatGPT to show me how to make a cup of coffee, and I wrote out a seven-step process for making coffee in a standard coffee maker. The instructions were a bit unclear, asking me to measure out the amount of water and ground coffee before grinding the beans. But there’s a disclaimer on

How iOS 16's 'Filter Unknown Senders' Changes SMS Marketing Dynamics

Unlocking the Secrets Behind iOS 16's New Message Filters and Their Marketing Implications

With the release of iOS 16, Apple introduced the 'Filter Unknown Senders' feature, significantly altering the landscape of SMS marketing. This update aims to enhance user privacy and reduce spam, but it also presents new challenges for marketers trying to reach iPhone users effectively. Understanding how this feature works is crucial for developing resilient marketing strategies in the mobile era.

When users enable 'Filter Unknown Senders,' messages from numbers not saved in their contacts are automatically directed to a separate tab, often hidden from immediate view. This means that SMS campaigns relying on mass outreach from unknown numbers risk being overlooked or ignored, reducing overall deliverability and engagement rates. For businesses heavily dependent on SMS marketing, adapting to this change is essential.

One of the primary concerns is how to ensure that marketing messages are seen by the intended audience without violating user preferences or privacy settings. The solution involves integrating more personalized and opt-in approaches, such as encouraging users to save your number or participate in targeted messaging campaigns. Additionally, leveraging other channels like email or app notifications can complement SMS efforts.

It's also vital for marketers to understand that Apple's emphasis on user privacy extends beyond just filtering messages. The new policies require a reevaluation of how data is collected, stored, and used for marketing purposes. Ensuring compliance while maintaining message relevance can help businesses sustain engagement despite these hurdles.

Furthermore, the impact of iOS 16's message filtering isn't limited to individual campaigns; it influences overall communication strategies. Marketers should consider employing multi-channel marketing approaches that include social media, push notifications, and in-app messaging to reach users more effectively.

For those looking to stay ahead in this evolving environment, staying informed about updates like the ios 16 sms marketing is crucial. Adapting your approach to align with Apple's privacy initiatives can help maintain your outreach's effectiveness and ensure your messages continue to reach your audience.

In conclusion, while iOS 16's 'Filter Unknown Senders' feature introduces new complexities for SMS marketing, it also offers an opportunity to innovate and build more meaningful, consent-based relationships with customers. By embracing privacy-friendly practices and diversifying communication channels, businesses can thrive in this new landscape.

[windowssufferer]

heya!!! tech nerd here: cant confirm about apple intelligence having access to your private dms, but on older devices that dont have apple intelligence cpabilities, all the "learn from this app" feature collects is data pertaining to the contexts you use it, not the data within the app itself. it's used for "siri suggestions" within widgets, the siri menu, and spotlight search, and nothing else. (as far as i know.) older siri models are NOT capable of collecting in-app data, and the same likely goes for newer ones. processing of this data is done on-device.

if it brings you peace of mind, do it, however keep in mind encryption on apple services is end-to-end, and the collected data being shared with governments can be found here (https://www.apple.com/legal/transparency/)

all apple would be capable of sharing to do with your messaging within apps OTHER THAN IMESSAGE is: account data if you signed in with apple, and when you use it if you have this setting turned on. within imessage they technically have e2e encryption, however backups are NOT e2e encrypted. if you want e2e encryption, it's now a feature in iOS 16.2+ (Guide to this can be found here: https://9to5mac.com/2022/12/16/how-to-turn-on-iphone-end-to-end-encryption-messages-icloud/)

And your SMS and MMS provider will also hand your messages over too if prompted.

TLDR: Siri isn't tracking your in-app activity, just usage statistics. Turn it off if you want, but it has no use to Apple, and isn't even sent off of your device.

PS: The siri usage tracking has always been active since the introduction of siri. It wasn't "toggled on in a recent update".

PSA: never discuss private affairs in your DMs, especially contraception and abortion. Social media moguls will absolutely sell you out to the government. There are already cases of people being charged based on evidence in their DMs.
