  • How to use Stolen Device Protection

    whodiiniwhodiini
    With a screen time passcode to lock settings, one needs to remove the screen time passcode, then go to content and privacy restrictions to allow for passcode changes. Then the face ID and passcode will show up in settings and you can now turn on Stolen Device Protection.  Then if you want the added security, turn back off passcode changes and set your screen time passcode.  I have yet to figure out if having the screen time passcode and the Stolen Device Protection is redundant now.

    I just updated my ipad 11 pro to ios 17.3.  Went to face ID and passcode, and there was not any Stolen Device Protection setting anywhere.  Must be just for iphones, so I updated my iphone 13 pro to ios 17.3.  Went to settings and there is no face ID and passcode.  I do have a screen time passcode to lock settings.  This is not as easy as the article suggests.

  • More USB-C speed won't fix users' problems with cables

    The USB standard needs to take a course in UX. The logos are terrible. Confusing. Overcomplicated. 

    It should show like

    USB4 S:80 W:100

    Whereas S is speed for data transfer. W is how many watts supported. 

    That is pretty intuitive and instructive to what the cable's capable of. 
      
    for power only, it should denote:

    USB4 PD W:240

    Whereas PD is Power Delivery and no mention of S means no data. But why do we want just PD cable? It's actually promoting waste. It cannot be more economical to have just PD cable. 
     



    Good start. I label all my USB C cables, otherwise it is a mess of confusion.  There are 2 more variants that need additional labeling: Thunderbolt, e.g. T3, and display protocol.

    So a complete label would be:  USB:3.1G2, T:3, W:100, D:1.4      Most active thunderbolt 3 cables (2m long) do not pass USB, and for displays, may have an echip. A simple cable for charging would be:  USB:2.0, T:No W:100 D:No  This is how I label my cables right now

    Speed marking is confusing because it depends on which protocol is being used on the cable.   This is how I label my cables right now

  • USB4 Version 2.0 to offer up to 80 Gbps data transfer

    USB is NOT consumer friendly. The fact that 1) for exactly the same cable, the numbering scheme changes constantly as spheric explains  2) There are almost no labeling requirements for cables so all USB C cables look alike.  The only ones I see have labels are thunderbolt 3 and 4.  That means people (like me) have drawers of cables that only work for certain functions, yet all look alike.  I am reduced to putting a Zip tie on each cable and using my own abbreviation system to explain what that cable does.  e.g. 60W power,  USB 3.1G2, no thunderbolt, no echip; another one 100W power, thunderbolt 3, echip, no USB 3.1G2; another one 100W power, USB 2.0
