Curious if any has encountered an inability to adjust screen brightness under the public beta? Mine is stuck at MAX brightness. When the display if being driven by the integrated INTEL graphics, I have both the virtual brightness control and the sc…

lowededwookie said: So I rebuilt using Sierra then I installed the beta. Nowhere is there an option for upgrading to APFS. I'm running an early 2011 15" MBP with a WD 750GB Black SATA drive unpartitioned. What's going on? Is it a spec thing?…

First I did a complete bootable SuperDuper backup to my trusty USB3 drive and verified it would boot. Then I went full bore, damn the torpedoes, installing the High Sierra public beta WITH update to APFS and to make it MORE interesting, my mid 2012…

I had an issue with the normal mac app store updater. I had enrolled in the public beta going back to initial betas for Sierra but had chosen to NOT install any of the beta point releases since the Sierra GM released. As a result there was typical…

Alluding that merchants are specifically holding back accepting Apple Pay is simply misdirection. The issue is merchant chose to delay upgrading to new chip ready terminals. ALL chip terminals have the NFC chip in them as part of the encrypting code…

I don't see this as all that great a plan compared to what the telcos are offering. Granted you do get an unlocked phone and they roll the cost of Apple Care into the monthly fee, but...... Run the numbers and you will see that if run to term th…

It has to be plated. 23 karat gold is WAY too soft to be used for a watch case or even jewelry. 18 Karat is about as pure as you can get and achieve ANY semblance of durability and mechanical stability. 23 Karat plated will not hold up to daily w…

In the user terms of service, it states that a user must be on a mobile share plan with unlimited talk and text in order to participate in the beta test. I suspect these terms will apply once it goes GA.

While the latest beta may now include the switch to activate WiFi calling for AT&T customers, that does NOT mean that AT&T is on board with that. I just tried to activate it in the DFW area and it came back that WiFi Calling was NOT yet ava…

I think some of the vendors that are installing the new EVM compliant terminals are spreading FUD about Apple Pay and convincing IT departments to shutoff NFC. I am seeing a lot of the new terminals around the DFW area and I always try Apple Pay. …
