I can imagine some scenarios where 20m feels like a long time, but it goes by really quickly if you’re doing something. I set mine to update then took a shower. I honestly expected it to take more than an hour, but the 20m flew by and the computer was ready to go before I was.
I’m sure a five minute wait playing RE4 on your phone will also leave you hunting for a charger at your next destination as well. As cool as it would be to play big games, my phone is just too important for everything else.
The Mrs. is a professional graphic designer. Of course Adobe Illustrator is what she uses, but she recommends either Affinity Designer or Canva. I also see her using Procreate on iPad with an Apple Pencil a lot.
Edit: she’s definitely recommending Canva. It’s got a lot of templates specifically catered towards social media, and is easy to learn.
Now that you mention it, I have an apple leather case from the 12 era on right now and the patina pattern is absolutely horrendous. I might need to put some oil over it or something.
I don’t disagree, but who needs an official controller from Apple when you can just use one from Sony, Microsoft, or some other company that actually specializes in gaming controller hardware? I don’t know if the engineers at Apple actually play enough games to know what people like in their controllers.
Well meat farms produce a lot of methane, which is a potent greenhouse gas, so reducing any kind of demand from a ranch is probably better than nothing. That said, I thought the leather used for iPhones weren’t from animals we’d traditionally use for eating. Moleskin or something?
It’s not a trillion dollar company they’re looking to spend a few million dollars against, just their stance on your privacy.
Heat Initiative is launching a multi-million dollar campaign in which it presses Apple on this issue.
I can’t help but wonder which generous benefactors are providing Heat these multi-millions of dollars in order to pressure apple into compromising privacy?
I hope I remember this when iOS 17 goes official.
I apologize if you are already aware of this, but if you go into Settings > Battery, then look at the 24hr graph, you can tap anywhere on the graph where the battery drain is strong to see which apps are eating it up the most. From there you can investigate that app’s settings to see if there are any features you don’t need and can disable. Things like always on location services and background app refresh.
(I’m on a 12mini, which might have the worst battery life of any iPhone in recent years.)
Sorry, your reply is poorly articulated and difficult to parse. Could you please elaborate?
There’s probably someone who can explain it better than me, but MacOS is a Unix-based operating system that’s been around for decades. iOS was actually built off of it. The reason MacOS looks like a “giant iPhone” these is probably because of iPhone’s popularity and a push to make macOS more approachable to people who are more familiar with the mobile device than computers. Macs are still very capable computers at heart, although they aren’t as straightforward to tinker with as you might have grown to expect after using windows and Linux for do long. You can always watch a YouTube video on MacOS evolution if you’re interested.
This is hands down my biggest issue with apple’s approach to Vision Pro. I don’t even know where to start.
I didn’t realize Microsoft was still selling windows XP…
I know this one!
To fix a detectable USB drive that won’t mount on Mac and Disk Utility can’t properly erase because it was originally formatted on a PC and requires a PC to correct.
Forgive if I’m mistaken, but isn’t the vision pro literally an M2 MacBook Air inside a headset with an extra processor to handle the XR related stuff? I imagine many if not most of the things you can do with an M2 Air will inherently be possible with a Vision Pro, assuming it doesn’t get walled out of the garden.
Worked with some teachers in a school. Occasionally we’d forget something dumb at our desk like our attendance notebook or a stack of handouts for the students. In most cases there was usually someone from our group sitting around at our office space, doing a bit of prep work. We all used iPads in our lessons, so one day I used a combination of Siri Shortcuts with IFTTT, a smart plug and a cheap little lamp to create a quick little alert system that would inform a peer at the desk if something was left behind. The light would click on, and when someone noticed, they’d check the group chat to see who sent it and what was needed.
