Don't' understand, says something about 3"?

I'm on 14.2.. is that current or need to upgrade IOS? And then wont be crazy expanded?

Fake News
Are you getting the "pardons for cash" fake news, yet?

2020 may be a bit shite, but there's been at least a glimmer of silver lining in the general cloud of yuck: I have two new books coming out next year and two more coming out in 2022.

These books, co-authored by a lovely woman I met ten years ago at an orgy and have had a ferocious crush on ever since, are a bit...err, different. They're far-future, post-scarcity erotic science fiction theocracy. (Man, that's a mouthful!) They're complex stories with deep characters and rich worldbuilding...oh, and lots and lots of kink. They're so different from anything else on the market, the publisher is doing a crowdfunding to try to gauge interest and see how many to print.

If that sounds like your thing, I'd love if you check it out! You can see it at https://igg.me/at/thebrazenaltar

I believe that is the case, yes. The non-TB4 device does not know how to negotiate a downstream daisy chain.

Additionally, if you're running video (mini Display Port) over ThunderBolt, the video device must, if I recall correctly, always be the last device in the chain.

As a data point:

I have a Magic Mouse 2. Right now, as I type this, it's not connected to my computer. Instead, I'm using a wired USB scroll-wheel mouse I got for $6 on Amazon.

The Magic Mouse is awesome in theory. In practice, I found it...less awesome. It's lovely when it works, but the need to keep recharging it (and the charge port is on the bottom, in a rare Apple design misfire), the fact that I occasionally do unintentional things with finger swipes, and the fact that it's (in another rare misfire) less responsive in video games than my cheap $6 Amazon mouse all conspire to make sure it sits on the shelf unused.

Yes. It makes a HUGE difference.

JPEG is "lossy." Every time you save a JPEG, the file is compressed in a way that permanently and irrevocably degrades the quality of the image.

RAW files allow more editing. You can change the exposure, the color balance, and more. JPEG, you get what you get. The JPEG file has less information than the RAW file, and you sacrifice editing options.

JPEG degradation is cumulative. If you open a JPEG, edit it, and save it, you get additional degradation. Open it, edit it, save it again, you get still more degradation.

Generally speaking: The JPEG standard was deliberately created for situations where file size on disk is critically important but the quality of the image is not important. If you understand that, you can adjust your workflow accordingly.

I have often lamented the tiny keys on my iPhone 6 and it never dawned on me simply to rotate the device. It ain't perfect but it's much better than before. Thanks.

A president is limited to two 4 year terms, whether they be consecutive or with a time lapse in between.

....recently!

I've tried that myself with no success, but it's always worth another try.

I'm really interested in learning if your problems are perpetuated in safe mode.

A safe boot is a standard troubleshooting technique, and I"m surprised that it's never been suggested.

You're correct. It was an SMS/MMS message from my sister who does not have an iPhone. Under preferences I have checked "forever" but since the "save history when conversations are closed" wasn't checked I think maybe that may be a part of it. I suspect the messages you are not finding are SMS/MMS messages and the ones you are seeing are iMessages.

There is a setting in Messages > Preferences > General about how long to keep messages, you might want to check that and see what it is set for.

When I have critical text conversations, I print them as PDF and save them in a DEVONThink or Yojimbo database. You can even capture FaceTime conversations as screen recordings and save those into the same database. It is a great way to keep business records. [/quote]

And now there is a SoftRaid beta that is Big Sur compatible.

How Not to Be Helpful 101. Given every jurisdiction seems to have different rates of testing, I've wondered whether any of the publicized results are particularly accurate so I've just take the position that Covid is everywhere. Therefore, be careful everywhere.

The position in the Dock and the black dot indicate, something is launching Chrome. The first place I would check is System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items. It could be Chrome itself or some file or task that in turn launches Chrome. If you click on Chrome in the Dock the page it opens to might yield a clue as to what is launching it.

I received an email from Babylon (I had reported the issue to them) that stated that they were referring this to their IT department. I'll post back with more news when it is available.

Fixed it.....by changing the password. And, before you ask, I have no idea why that worked. However, I think the entire matter is an issue with the provider as the system now does not recognize the password in my mail account. I'm with an outfit called Telus and mail is definitely not their strong suit.

Update; Nope....that hasn't done it either, we're back where we started. For now I have her using the webmail site rather than the Mail app.

Yes ... to no avail.

Notes:

• iPhone/iPad apps that use devices such as the gyroscope, motion sensor and are not present on the Mac will not work on the Mac.
• Although makes an iPhone/iPad app available for M1 Macs on the App Store they do not guarantee it works correctly. It is the developer's responsibility to verify the app for use on the Mac. The App Store listing clearly indicates whether or not the app has been verified for use on the M1 Mac.

Ira, thanks yeah, I don't even know how use this app to be honest.

But it did right away ask for microphone access.

Try a Restart or Shutdown and then startup.

Looks like the remotes now are only for Apple TV. If I decide to do it, I will try to pair my iPhone to my Mac.

Thanks for that.

OK, you confused me about NVRAM when you inserted the irrelevant to his thread boot commands into the equation.

I've never had occasion to reset NVRAM on my 2019 16" MBP w T2 Chip, but according to the linked article I can do it.

ON ipad getting, at top always, all time: "pasted from kevs 7"

I think my iphone is kevs7.

Still I have not clue to the nuisance relenting message.

Update: The problem is weather related, and all else was coincidental.

Since it cooled down and dried up, the static charges are back.

Good thing you're running the "hack" or you may never have figgered it out.
