    iOS 13 to bring major performance and efficiency improvements to Safari

    Posted: 22 Feb 2019 02:11 PM PST

    Oh. My. God. An Apple IIe. Sat in my parents’ attic for years. Decades. And it works. Put in an old game disk. Asks if I want to restore a saved game. And finds one! It must be 30 years old. I’m 10 years old again.

    Took a lot of focus and effort, but I filled all my Apple Watch rings for 2 years without a single missed day

    Posted: 22 Feb 2019 10:30 AM PST

    As the title says, I got a little obsessed with the idea of starting a Streak a couple years ago... so I did. Today makes two years without a single missed Stand, Move or Exercise ring, and it feels pretty good. I started with a Series 0 watch, and a few months ago jumped up to a Series 4. Hope this helps someone else - with a little focus and a quasi-healthy dose of obsession, anyone can do it!

    macOS allows you to rename Bluetooth devices after you connect to them but iOS doesn’t. And Conversely, iOS allows you to see the battery percentage of Bluetooth devices after you connect to them but macOS doesn’t.

    Posted: 22 Feb 2019 04:14 PM PST

    These both seem like a basic parts of Bluetooth functionality that should be included on all systems, but I find it odd how macOS has support for a feature while iOS doesn't, and visa verse.

    Cancelled AT&T iPhone X Case orders from two weeks ago: Promo Code

    Posted: 22 Feb 2019 09:06 AM PST

    If you participated in the scam led by AT&T, they sent out a promo code for cancelled orders. That promo code is USAVE Which saves you 30% off of regular priced cases only.

    PSA about Downloading from iCloud Photos: It reduces quality if downloaded individually, but stays full size if downloaded as a group

    Posted: 22 Feb 2019 11:47 AM PST

    So, now we can download photos in bulk from iCloud.com through a web browser (yay!). But I noticed a weird quirk...

    When I download a single HEIC image, it comes down converted to JPEG and at a reduced 1536x2048 resolution.

    But when I download the same image with others, it stays in its HEIC format and stays at 3024 by 4032 resolution.

    I post this kind of as a PSA, kind of to look for confirmation from others they're seeing this too.

    EDIT: Clarity that this downloading is from the iCloud.com website.

    You Give Apps Sensitive Personal Information. Then They Tell Facebook.

    You can press Command + Shift + . (period) to show hidden files & folders on Mac

    Posted: 22 Feb 2019 09:14 AM PST

    Works on sierra (10.12) and higher.

    While at it, here's some more Finder tips

    • Cmd + up arrow: goes up directory

    • Cmd + [ or ]: goes back / forward

    • Press option+command+v to move files instead of paste

    • Right click title bar to show directory tree

    • Set app shortcuts for Save As... back to shift+command+s in Keyboard Section System Preferences to replace the stupid Duplicate option in menu bar

    Why does apple hide these basic file management function away from finder and system settings with some obscure shortcuts? IDK

    i acted fast, panicked, changed everything, removed my phone, etc but they keep sending phishing emails

    before this i enabled lost mode and added my instagram hoping somebody would contact. the thing is, they didn't assault me, they just slipped it out of my pocket when i was at the club

    now after so many failed attempts, they're contacting me on instagram saying their mother found a phone and to contact them at a number, also to reply to their emails

    what are they trying to achieve? i live in mexico, idk if it's dangerous or trying to give it back or scam me

    what scares me the most is my mother had asked me to send her pics of her credit cards and they might be there. help asap pls

    Tap video player with 2 fingers to speed up!

    Posted: 23 Feb 2019 02:31 AM PST

    TIL you can tap the video player in iOS with 2 fingers to speed up the video, or 3 fingers to slow down.

    But depends on the video source. I tried watching youtube through safari and it worked, but not Vimeo.

    Scaled Resolution Impacts Ethernet Speed by 60%

    Posted: 22 Feb 2019 11:32 AM PST

    My Setup: MPB 2017, LG UHD Dispay, Apple Gigabit Ethernet Adapter, USB-C to HDMI

    Has anyone experienced that using a scaled resolution has a significant impact on ethernet speeds? I have 1Gbps connection, and when connected to my external monitor using a scaled resolution (3008 x 1692) my speeds drop from 1Gbps to 300 Mbps. Fully reproducible, and when switching to native 3840 x 2160 or even to 1080p the speed jumps back up to 1Gbps. Is this 'normal' behavior?

    iPhone app that lets you sync with Computer?

    Posted: 23 Feb 2019 02:04 AM PST

    I use an iPhone and love making lists and such, I'd like to make a shopping list however I want to be able to access it on my PC (operated by windows - not apple). The closest thing I have to this is using google calendar however I am not able to access the tasks I have on my computer on my phone.

    Does anyone have any app recommendations?
