IPhone users: it is not you. It appears that there is a problem with the iPhone alarm causing it to not make a sound when it goes off.
My daughter is standing outside waiting for an urgent Uber because she woke up late for work for the second time this week. She was feeling bad about herself sleeping through her alarm, but then I saw this article. #iPhone#Apple
Launched in 2022, the iPhone 14 offered few upgrades over its predecessor, the iPhone 13, retaining the Apple Bionic A15 chip with only minor updates. On the other hand, the iPhone 15 comes with several significant upgrades. For instance, the peak screen brightness has almost doubled, going from 1200 nits to 2000 nits. It...
Hi all. Hoping there are some #blind#linux users out there that can help me out. I'm using an old computer, not the one I mentioned in my previous posts, but a different one, and #Orca isn't speaking. I originally installed #Ubuntu Mate, but Orca was freezing a lot, so I switched my #DesktopEnvironment to #KDEPlasma. It seemed like a lot of things were inaccessible, though, so I decided to try #Gnome. I installed Gnome, chose GDM as the display manager, and restarted the computer. Now, Orca works on the login screen but nowhere else. It seems to be running, and when I run "orca --replace" in the terminal, I get an error about something only working with X11. I've been able to tell that by scanning the screen with #SeeingAI on my #iPhone. I need to get Orca up and running again so I can use my computer. What's the best way to do this, preferably without sighted help, as my mom and stepdad aren't good with #technology. #accessibility#tech@mastoblind@main

Here's another #macOS rant (gosh I fucking hate this junk don't I): it loves creating problems out of non-issues (literally never had this problem on #Windows 10/11 or the many #Linux distros I've used and still are actively using) and append a number to it.
One being... external disk mounts. For whatever reason, what started out to be an external device that's formatted appropriately, as vanilla as can be using Disk Utility and mounts to, say, "SSD1TB", will randomly at times just started consistently mounting to a directory it creates by itself, "SSD1TB 1" - which fucks up all my symlinks to that drive until I manually fix the issue so it mounts to the right mount point again.
Another being, which is more confusing honestly how it's able to fuck it up, which is its own local hostname. I set the hostname as "aerith", which macOS compulsorily add a suffix to it, ".local". It's been on that hostname perfectly fine for a week ~2 weeks or so - then out of nowhere one day while being out, it says that that hostname's already used in the network and they then changed it to "aerith-2.local". Weird, I thought, but I thought maybe it's a one-time thing at that Mamak (eatery) I was at. Since then though, even at my home or anywhere else, changing it back to "aerith" is impossible and it'd always change it back to "aerith-2" - which TRIGGERS me.
#Apple, please just dump macOS already and use any of the Linux distros or Windows (jk hell no) or #ChromeOS (HELL NO). Y'all clearly have no idea what you're doing.
Another thing #macOS somehow butchers that I've not encountered on any other OS-es:
Setting up a static IP. Doing this itself is easy, not easier than #Linux but a lot easier than on #Windows. But for too many times now when I bring my #MacBook out and about to get work done, I'd just thought oh all of these (public) WiFi and even my personal hotspot from my #iPhone just straight up don't work. Then I remember, it was because of my static IP setting cos macOS somehow sets up network configurations such as having a static IP globally instead of per internet connection or WiFi SSID.
Why... would you enforce the static IP (I thought) I've configured for ONE connection, for ALL networks, obviously that wouldn't/shouldn't work? If private IP addresses in my home network follow a convention such as 123.321.0.X and I set a static IP of 123.321.0.11 for my Mac on a specific connection within my home network - when I use a different connection on a different network, OBVIOUSLY it wouldn't/shouldn't work since those other connections/networks highly likely uses a different IP address convention. Why can't macOS just default to DHCP, which it does, and apply these network configurations per connection rather than globally (bcos again, it just doesn't make sense)? Especially on the UI/UX side of things, it does seem like you're applying the configuration only to a particular connection you've selected - except it doesn't.
It's shit like this that makes me wonder who the fuck works at #Apple for this junk to be the case since forever and nobody's fixing it.
I'll add in a bonus though: macOS is also the only OS I've used that doesn't implement spell check (not correction) by default. For whatever reason, even as I'm typing this now, macOS straight up doesn't check or notify of any wrong spellings.
Googling how to enable it returns an official documentation by Apple with step by step instructions on how to have it enabled and yet the specific setting they mentioned should be in the System Settings' Keyboard menu just isn't there. Funny how that's a really common thing I encounter too - "it should be there, but it just isn't".
