Well, I’m not sure how much of a procedure this actually is. I generally prefer more conclusive steps, like… oh, I don’t know, having an Update Firmware button in the settings? #Apple #airpods #tech #howto 9to5mac.com/2025/01/2…
I’m so up for this. #Apple DOES need to update their paid storage tiers, but not for the suggested tiers of the column. We have Apple One Family for up to 5 with a meager 200GBs for $26 a month. The storage should be bumped up to 500 or 750GB. #icloudplus #internet 9to5mac.com/2025/01/2…
If you’ve got an #M4MacMini and your curious about some interesting use cases, you might find Wesley Hilliard’s review on Apple Insider a source of ideas. #apple #mac #projects #homelab #tech appleinsider.com/articles/…
Ugh. More #Microsoft bullshit to deal with. This is a few days old as I’m catching up on my news feeds but is important to know if you’re one of the unlucky ones using #MicrosoftEdge on #Windows 10 or 11 (or just 11 in general). Switch to #Linux or #Apple already! mjtsai.com/blog/2025…
It’s a toaster… for your iPhone 14/15/16… and it only costs $570, but only if you buy the bundle of the “toaster” and one case. Though it doesn’t charge your phone, it just swaps in a fresh battery. Baby steps on the way to robot domination. Whee… #WeirdCES #CES2025 #tech www.macworld.com/article/2…
I suggest you just #read the #books. Don’t bother with the series. #Apple spent a tanker-full of money to make a terrible non-adaptation. They took some ideas, mixed it all up, cut out a bunch, and invented a lot of new crap that superficially resembles #IsaacAsimov’s seminal #scifi works. www.polygon.com/sci-fi/50…
For a time I was mad at #Microsoft for breaking their promise that #Windows10 would be the last #Windows, but then #Windows11 turned into a wet dream of #capitalism, bristling with ads, bloat, and AI features nobody wants while tracking users every move. Now ten months remain before MSFT pulls the plug on Windows 10 support, but 62.7% of all Windows users still use it. In fact, a number have ditched 11 to go back to 10. I’m bustin' a gut over this. Just buy an #Apple #Mac. #tech #news tech.slashdot.org/story/25/…
I’m not sure this is the most complementary of headlines for the #Flexbar. #Apple’s Touch Bar was almost as unloved as the disastrous Butterfly keyboard, and now both have long been excised from the MacBook lineup. #tech appleinsider.com/articles/…
Well, this is a clever case for iPhone models 12 through 15. Using a Lightning or USB-C connection concealed in the bottom of the case, you can add up to 1TB of storage to your iPhone with the card slot conveniently hidden near the camera bump. #apple #tech the-gadgeteer.com/2024/12/1…
A little expensive, but it does make a statement and has the side benefit of making the #M4MacMini’s power button accessible (if you need that sort of thing). ZEERA’s MacForge aluminum case evokes the appearance of a tiny Mac Pro and just looks really cool. Sadly, there’s no option for wheels. #Apple #tech liliputing.com/zeera-mac…
Um… no. Ignore #TikTok boneheads are claiming that anyone can steal your data using #iPhone’s #AirDrop feature. Fabulists are suggesting you turn off non-existent options or that AirDrop can be used to walk past people and just grab all their credit cards. Don’t listen to these idiots. #apple #fakescams #conspiracytheories #bullshit appleinsider.com/articles/…
Heh. Fast Company interviewed #Apple executive Kate Bergeron and asked her about the modular storage in the new #M4 #MacMini. Here’s how she responded:
“The Mac Mini “is packed so tightly that actually, in the larger storage configurations, there’s not enough room on the main logic board to put the storage right onto the board.”
LOLZ. She must not have heard about the coming after-market SSD upgrades for the Mac Studio. #tech https://www.macworld.com/article/2546773/the-first-mac-studio-ssd-upgrade-is-here-for-way-less-than-apples-prices.html
Have the need to download old versions of #macOS installers or firmware? Do you struggle with getting them from #Apple? Yeah, I know the drill. It’s a pain in the ass. MIST to the rescue, then! You can grab the installer on the GitHub page or install it with #Homebrew (brew install –cask mist) and there’s even a command line version for super nerds. #freeware #retrocomputing github.com/ninxsoft/…
Wow! I’m short on words, but I’m simply blown away by designer Kevin Noki’s functional recreation of Harmut Esslinger’s #Apple Flatmac design, a prototype developed by Esslinger’s Frog Design, the firm that handled Apple’s iconic industrial design language. It is simply astonishing. NOTE: If you just want to see it in action, jump to 41:24. #retrocomputing #Macintosh #MacClassic youtu.be/Grd_a4oi7…
🚨 NERD ALERT 🚨 Hey all my retro #Apple peeps who are re-capping old #Macintosh machines! It turns out there’s a polarity type on the LC III / Performa 450 mainboard that, when using tantalum capacitors for your retrofit, can cause your repaired Mac to immolate itself. It’s a quick read, so get yourself up to speed before busting out the flux and solder wick. #retrocomputing #tech www.macworld.com/article/2…
