I'm guessing it wouldn't be possible to swap back to the original Apple SSD then? I always swapped the original RAM into my 27" iMacs before taking them in to Apple, not because it voided the warranty but because it was one less thing they could use…

NordVPN's kill switch works great for me! If you use Firefox, you can even set the application kill switch to only work with Firefox private browsing, not the regular browser, so you can use private mode for all things you want a VPN to hide and the…

I called this the day it came out, wish I had a 3D printer though!

"Woman wants job security. News at 11." Regulation always favors big business, so of course one of the biggest companies in the world is in favor of it. IP laws have the same effect. The big companies can afford to comply with regulations that ofte…

The issue is that APP2 are regularly on sale for $189. If you can get that deal, it's a no-brainer for anyone who finds the ear tips comfortable. I agree that the AP4 are an across-the-board upgrade from the AP3, but the AP3 never made much sense un…

Agree with the above, no thanks to subscriptions required to unlock any sort of hardware features. Software that requires connection to servers to function, sure, I get that is an ongoing cost. Hardware (and most software) should be a one and done p…

Forgive me, but did you just take credit for spoiling one of the best things that could have been released? They can complain all they want, but I’m 100% content to go scorched earth on ads and let the chips fall where they may. I think that world w…

Surprised nobody noted (unless I missed it when scanning the comments) the lack of an Apple logo in these images... Re: colors, if you're talking about pigment black is technically all the color you can have, and if you're talking about light white…

Both of our cars have wireless CarPlay added on because they are too old to have come with color touchscreens built in. One has a replacement head unit (the stock one was awful) which came with wired CarPlay and we have since added a wireless adapte…

Professional photographer here, chiming in to say StationGrey is correct. There's a reason this hasn't happened yet, and it's because iPhone sensors are so small that getting better bokeh would require an insane max aperture. Being able to close the…

More pressure to take the privacy poison pill. Stand firm, Apple.

Why do such logs even exist? Oh right, the same reason everything else that sucks about the digital age exists: advertising.

Enjoyed this article just like I often enjoy iFixit guides - it's fun to see how things are made and what you can do to improve and/or repair them! I don't think I'll be buying an original AppleTV for myself, though.

I've been surprised not to hear any mention of the app I use to snap windows into position: Tiles. It looks like Apple is finally bringing essentially the same functionality into macOS. It works great and allows me to manage windows the same way I d…

I have had it give me a false alarm when I am playing volleyball, sometimes I hit the ball hard enough to trigger it. On the other hand, it helped save my life when my watch detected I’d crashed on my motorcycle and was unconscious. I’ll never be w…

Use this feature, as long as you are near a charger. Turn it off when you'll be away from power for an extended time. Use the 80% setting - it's better. My 15 Pro has had it turned on since day one back in September 2023 and still has 100% battery h…
