They need to make this for the Pro iPads. Smart Connector + function keys? Is there another third-party cover that features those (and isn’t thick n ugly)? I don’t need backlighting.

Note: if you have misophonia, ASMR may be like knitting needles in your ears. It baffles me how this has caught on at all. Then again, if you have synesthesia too, then your perceptions are already altered compared to most. (I have both, and I like …

I’ve written three novels on mine, and it’s been the perfect companion. For writing, I demand the tiniest, lowest-specced laptop I can get, stripped down to only writing-related software. Granted, my needs are pretty uncommon, but I’ve loved my MacB…

Reading these comments, I know what killed Dashboard. I’m in the other camp: I use Dashboard many times every day. Thinking ahead, I have managed to replace my dashboard widgets with “Today” (ugh) alternatives, which usually aren’t as nice as the ol…

My issue is similar but different. Siri always sounds like the modern Siri, _except_ when I use “Speak” for highlighted text. When I do that it’s always Susan Bennett Siri. I’ve tried everything to get a unified Siri, but iOS seems to think two Siri…

Performance is absolutely the AppleTV’s (several versions) downfall. I frequently have to back out of a movie or TV show details page click because of the infinite spinner. Not occasionally—every day. It’s not a network issue: streaming is perfect a…

People would still consider HP, even after stories like this? https://boingboing.net/2019/02/08/inkjet-dystopias.html

“iPhone owners must use a nano-SIM for their primary line…” My hope was that I could move my primary line to the eSIM “slot” (since that won’t be changing), so that I could use the physical SIM slot for prepaid SIMs when I travel. Having it the othe…

Hm. Maybe you’re right. I’ll try not pressing anything. But I don’t get to knock stuff over or hit anyone then.

I hope this makes using Apple Pay easier. I always freak out at the checkout line, forgetting how to bring it up, taking a bunch of photos, knocking stuff over, punching at least one person, and I end up having to turn the phone on and going into th…

For the record, I’m super-lazy, and mainly use my phone for GPS and Holedown. I’m on the upgrade program, so I’m in line for a new phone yearly, so like I said, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Now, if I were having problems with my iPad, I’d be in the Apple Store the …

My iPhone 8 freezes all the time, but its serial number is not in the range Apple has designated as problematic. When the phone freezes, it buffers up all the key presses, then spits them all out at once, usually going into SOS mode (which I have to…

I’m an absolute Apple fanboy, but my AppleTV is the worst Apple product I’ve ever owned (as was the one I owned before this one). Episode lists for TV shows routinely take 30 seconds to load, or time out completely (and it’s not a WiFi issue). The c…

I’ve never been forced to use Word before, but in the old days I used Nisus Writer. Still, I’d never attempt to write a novel using a word processor any more than I’d use BBEdit for UI design. Scrivener is for novels (and other long form written wor…

For iOS you can go to Settings → Safari → Passwords (under General)

Why bury this option and make it a toggled “mode”? Simply ask what quality I want to send an image at the time of attachment. Some images work well at low resolution, and others require detail to be maintained. Eventually Apple will come around, I’m…

The question isn’t whether you adore Clinton (which I do not… but that’s irrelevant). It’s whether you want an administration whose tech platform backs Apple’s positions on encryption, privacy, innovation. That was the question, and that, I do.

Call me an idiot, but I can't figure out how to get ApplePay to work %u2014 and I'm only in my 40s. I actually have used it several times, but I only got it to work by accident, both times differently. (It's like of the steering wheel was in a diffe…

A corporation's stance is its own prerogative, sure (within certain limits). I'm the opposite of a conservative, but I tend to let these things shake out before commenting or deciding how I feel… if I feel anything at all. But I'm definitely not rea…

Hey, I played on the side of ebola in Plague, Inc. So clearly my moral compass is askew.
