    Why does my brand new MacBook Pro have 13.3 TB of reads, 17.0 TB of writes, and 1,074 power cycles on it?

    Posted: 30 Jan 2018 07:58 PM PST

    I just purchased a brand new 15" MacBook Pro (the 512 GB model), used smartmontools to view the SSD health info, and this is what it shows:

    SMART/Health Information (NVMe Log 0x02, NSID 0x0)

    Critical Warning: 0x00

    Temperature: 28 Celsius

    Available Spare: 100%

    Available Spare Threshold: 10%

    Percentage Used: 0%

    Data Units Read: 26,147,819 [13.3 TB]

    Data Units Written: 33,348,008 [17.0 TB]

    Host Read Commands: 37,553,063

    Host Write Commands: 32,305,825

    Controller Busy Time: 213

    Power Cycles: 1,074

    Power On Hours: 22

    Unsafe Shutdowns: 29

    Media and Data Integrity Errors: 0

    Error Information Log Entries: 0

    I've confirmed this info is indeed correct by reading / writing data, and power cycling the SSD, and it was accurately reflected by smartmontools.

    I check this info on every computer I get, and never have more than a few gigabytes of reads and writes, and no more than a couple of power cycles. I've also purchased many SSDs individually, and the SMART info is always zeroed out.

    The battery also had 4 power cycles on it out of the box (every Mac I've purchased prior to this has had just 1).

    I purchased the MacBook Pro from bhphotovideo. It was listed as brand new, and arrived in Apple retail packaging (i.e. I don't think it's a refurbished unit).

    Anybody have any similar experiences / any idea what's going on here?

    Review of $250 CarPlay stereo (xpost from r/CarPlay)

    Posted: 30 Jan 2018 07:12 PM PST

    Ok. So after seeing it at Walmart for $250 I went back and bought the Dual Electronics one they had in stock. I've just installed it tonight so these are pretty preliminary observations.

    CarPlay itself works just like any other CarPlay implementation on other systems. The touch screen is very responsive - which is good because the only thing you control with the knob is the volume. Sound quality is what you would expect from an all-digital playback.

    Outside of CarPlay here are some of the pros: - Price. At $250 there isn't anything remotely close.

    • 10 band equalizer with preset configs for things scenes such as Concert, Voice, Pop, Church (whatever that is), etc.

    • Video support. Plays videos but not from your phone.

    • Siri button is very easy to access. Good UI on this part.

    • Easy remote that lets you control things. Maybe not quite convenient enough to work from the steering wheel but is just fine.

    • Remote camera support. (RCA plug)

    This isn't perfect, so here are some of the cons: - Screen quality for the LCD display is just ok. The JVC/Kenwood/etc screens are better so if you want to watch videos then you might think of this as a low-end Android tablet.

    • Bluetooth is a little counter-intuitive to set up. You have to set it up as phone even though I only wanted audio. Once set up it was just fine, except the volume was a lot lower for sound than when in CarPlay. This part might be some configuration thing on phone or unit that I didn't see right away.

    • The radio app controls are a little trigger-happy. It is a very brief touch before you reprogram the preset. (CarPlay works fine.)

    • The USB and AUX inputs are on the back but there is enough cable and they provide an USB extension. Still, it would be nice to have these on the front of the unit.

    • Only supports CarPlay. No Android support.

    All in all I think this is a terrific value. I spend most of my time within CarPlay so the rest of the stuff isn't really important. I would love an OLED screen but I love the price.

    With iOS 12 and macOS 10.14 getting "Snow Leopard" treatments, if you could ask for only 1 new feature, what would it be?

    Posted: 30 Jan 2018 10:12 AM PST

    For me, it's improved iCloud sharing, sharing iCloud Photo Library and iCloud Drive folders.

    OK, I guess that's technically two. So just shared iCloud Photo Library (sharing full library with a specific person in Family Sharing, typically spouse).

    iMessage service down - unable to send or receive on Macs and iPads

    Posted: 30 Jan 2018 08:57 PM PST

    I have an iMac, MBP, and an iPad and I cannot send or receive iMessage from them. It works fine on my iPhone but nothing else. Thought there was an issue with my AppleID, so I signed out of my account and logged back in successfully. However, I just can't send and receive messages from my Mac and iPad. Same problem persists with my gf's MBP.

    Am I the only one experiencing this problem?

    Music slider & time on lock screen not updating

    Posted: 30 Jan 2018 08:49 PM PST

    Hello, sorry if it's duplicate, couldn't find anything in a search. But I'm facing this issue, the music is playing, but the lock screen player is not showing & updating the current track status. Like how much of the song is complete/ how much mins is remaining. Is there anyone else with that bug around? It's so annoying. Been bothering me since last couple updates. I don't even know how to reproduce it. It's random.

    What exactly does Apple mean by 10.14 having “Snow Leopard” treatments?

    Posted: 30 Jan 2018 11:56 PM PST

    Do they mean it will be more stable? Are they changing the UI to look more like snow leopard? I can't find any articles circulating this.
