  • Review: Logitech Combo Touch is like the Magic Keyboard for iPad Air & 10.5-inch iPad Pro

    Sorry to burst your bubble this case is not compatible with 10.5” ipad pro only with the slightly thicker ipad 7th gen. Check the Logitech website 
    That's not what I'm seeing.

  • Best alternatives to Apple TV's Siri Remote

    The best remote may be the one already in your hands (your TV remote, that is).    I use the remote that came with my 4-year old Sony Bravia.

  • Microsoft 365 subscription offers AI assistance in Word, PowerPoint

    Doesn’t work in Chrome.  Sometimes works in Edge.  Has rendering errors in internet explorer.  

    We didn’t need coronavirus. We already had the office365 virus.  

    I have 58,000 users on Office 365 E3 (Outlook, Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint, etc.).  Chrome works great (Mac and Windows), as long as you trust the right cookies from certain Microsoft sources.  Even Teams with audio, video, and desktop sharing works great with Chrome (and Chromium-based Edge).  Off the top of my head (edit: and a little serching), some of them are:

  • BMW says annual $80 CarPlay fee needed for ongoing testing & development


    Fast chargers kill batteries. If Apple provided a fast charger "BatteryGate" would be front page news and customer satisfaction would drop.

    You know that they offer several "fast chargers" (their USB-C charges), specifically touting their benefits for the iPhone.  These are straight from the iPhone accessories page.

    The 18w Charger:
    The Apple 18W USB‑C Power Adapter offers fast, efficient charging at home, in the office, or on the go. While the power adapter is compatible with any USB‑C-enabled device, Apple recommends pairing it with the 11-inch iPad Pro and 12.9-inch iPad Pro (3rd generation) for optimal charging performance. You can also pair it with iPhone 8 or later to take advantage of the fast-charging feature.

    The USB-C to Lightning Cable:
    You can also use this cable with your Apple 29W, 30W, 61W, or 87W USB-C Power Adapter to charge your iOS device, and even take advantage of the fast-charging feature on select iPhone and iPad Pro models.

    The 30w charger:
    The Apple 30W USB‑C Power Adapter offers fast, efficient charging at home, in the office, or on the go. While the power adapter is compatible with any USB‑C–enabled device, Apple recommends pairing it with the 12-inch MacBook or the 13-inch MacBook Air with Retina display for optimal charging performance. You can also pair it with select iPhone and iPad Pro models to take advantage of the fast-charging feature. You can also pair it with iPhone 8 or later to take advantage of the fast-charging feature.

    Apple even describes fast charging support in article HT208137:

    Fast charge your iPhone

    Use fast charge with iPhone 8 or later. You can recharge your iPhone up to 50 percent battery in 30 minutes.*

    Fast charging gives you a quick and convenient way to recharge your iPhone 8 or later. Your iPhone fast charges up to 50 percent in 30 minutes when you use an Apple ISB-C to Lightning cable and one of these adapters:

    • Apple 18W, 29W, 30W, 61W, or 87W USB-C Power Adapter
    • A comparable third-party USB-C power adapter that supports USB Power Delivery (USB-PD)

    If you're not sure which Apple Power Adapter you have, check the wattage on the bottom of the adapter:

    * Testing conducted by Apple in August 2017 using preproduction iPhone X, iPhone 8, and iPhone 8 Plus units and software, and in August 2018 using preproduction iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR units and software, with accessory Apple USB-C Power Adapters (18W Model A1720, 29W Model A1540, 30W Model A1882, 61W Model A1718, 87W Model A1719). Fast-charge testing conducted with drained iPhone units. Charge time varies with environmental factors; actual results will vary.

  • MacBook Pro 'stage lighting' problem caused by tearing of thin cable integrated into displ...

    The "problem" is that the fix requires replacing the display, not a simple cable replacement (like previous displays, I guess?).
