Here’s a secret you may not have known if you bought a new iPad, iMac or MacBook. Apple has quietly added a Thread radio to several new Macs and iPads released since September 2023. @theverge has more, including which models on which they found evidence of Thread testing: https://flip.it/-R.XMr #Tech#Apple#SmartPhone#iPhone#iPad#Mac
Oh wow. I just disabled Bartender and look which icon was hidden pretty conveniently by it…
This always pops up when an app records the screen. It was always visible for other apps, but disappeared sometimes for a short amount of time, what I thought was a macOS bug.
Seems like Bartender was able to hide this icon, when it was creating the screen recording itself? I'm pretty concerned right now and will definitely remove it immediately.
The mass exodus from #Windows to #Linux (and #Mac) due to #Windows11 and #AI continues. More and more articles, more and more youtube videos about it, or posts on forums. People are switching. If it continues like that, Linux should have 10% desktop marketshare by the end of the decade (and yes, that's a lot).
Started at 5/31 11am ET. We’ll see how fast this baby moves on a 12yo #MacMini using #ProtonVPN & gigabit #fios through a #glinet#AXT1800 router, a CAT6-connected AP, a #MoCA -connected AP, & finally CAT6. It’s a circuitous route, I know, but these are the limitations of a 74yo house.
FWIW speeds right now are slower than usual: 174 Mbps down, 178 up. Usually in the 500-600 range. Maybe it’s the age of the #Mac, or I’m splitting between the #Ente & speed test?
Between the speech given where #Microsoft literally want to cloud base Windows (calling it Windows 365), the #AI "Callback" wife beater tool and #Bing AI eating the Bing API for half a day today almost the entire W11 subreddit seems up in arms. I have never seen so many "I am switching to #Linux" and "I am saving up for a #Mac" comments as today.
Watch out if you use iTerm2 on a mac. The latest version (3.5.x) integrates OpenAI/ChatGPT. It looks like you have to set keys to use it, but I don't want it even in the mix so I'm sticking with the 3.4.x release.
"Inside Microsoft’s mission to take down the MacBook Air"
The not-yet-for-sale Windows "Copilot Plus PCs" are beating M3 MacBook Air (slightly) in Microsoft's home field testing (battery life and benchmark performance)
When will these machines be available?
How will their costs compare to the M3 MacBook Air?
Will Apple release the M4 MBA by then? If so, will the CoPilot PCs still win?
I got the huge ‘puter working (2011 17” MacBook Pro).
Really slow under Sonoma lol
I found a macOS install CD in it, so I’m using it for the size reference
This thing is so funny
