| Posted: 09 Aug 2020 02:04 PM PDT I have owned macs for around 15 years and I have never had an issue more than this machine. Last night I finally got time to look into why my machine would not update to 10.15.6. I tried everything: combo installer, safe mode, external USB, clean install. All failed, even the clean install, and I was only able to get back in because I had a time machine back up. Called Apple this morning and they looked at my logs and said it was the T2 security ship (I hate this thing). They instructed me that i would need to bring it in for a flash and that it was not something I could do at home. I googled away, and landed on this page: https://support.apple.com/guide/apple-configurator-2/revive-or-restore-mac-firmware-apdebea5be51/mac I followed the revive guide, and bam, it worked. After 10 hours of troubleshooting, it was the chip. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Can two bluetooth headsets connect to a mac at the same time, for watcihing movies together. Posted: 09 Aug 2020 12:20 AM PDT My sister and husband are going on a road trip and taking my neice and neice's pal. My neice just got a mac book air for school. Its hers not the schools, its a normal Air. She loves it btw. Can neice and pal both pair their airpods to the mac, so they can watch a movie together, or do they need to get wired headphones and a splitter? Being tweens they are irrationallly excited about the airpods and using wired headphones instead is like, omg what are you over 30 or something, who even uses wires anymore??? And I doubt they would be willing to share a pair of airpods either, gross. I know macs and I have done 30 whole seconds of internet research and the answer seems to be: wired headphones and a splitter, but I thought I would throw it out there and ask. Thanks in advance.

| In 2020 is there any reason to switch to a Macbook? Posted: 08 Aug 2020 09:47 PM PDT Since the Windows is stable currently (as of 2019-2020 experience, never faced any BSOD), and my 750$ laptop can boot in 7-8sec now and shutdown in 2-3sec, wake from sleep in under a sec. And has 10-11 hours of battery with new ACPI drivers & smaller manufacturing technology of processor. Windows now also offers all the CLI tools of Unix/Linux to be executed via the WSL built-in, so there's not much of difference between a normal laptop and an Apple one. Is there still any good reasons to switch to Macs now (I was planning to but I'm now getting more convinced not to)? [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 09 Aug 2020 11:33 AM PDT Snuck in at the end of one of their developer vids was a version of cinema 4d with the new metal viewport. NOTE this was amazing.. and still not a native apple silicon app! This was under emulation still! The future looks bright...especially if its this good before even being optimized and ported to apples new architecture! Skip to 32:20 time: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2020/10631 I could totally see Apple maybe making a 3d rendering type of "Afterburner" card both for mac pro and an egpu version. Perhaps even a mini version for inside laptops/minis [link] [comments]  | ||

| Applauding Apple Customer Service Posted: 09 Aug 2020 05:58 PM PDT Just want to share how amazing Apple customer service is. Long time in Apple ecosystem, recently bought Macbook Pro 16 inch after 7 years of using Macbook Pro 13 inch that now is working for my parents. Also bought Apple Watch Gen 5 but forgot that September is around the corner and Gen 6 is almost here so, after a week of use, I went back to return the watch and just once again blown away but how pleasant the experience was. I was asked no questions, they didnt even look at it, just asked for receipt or asked why I wanted to return it. I was in and out in a minute. I will be forever Apple customer, thank you Apple. I will get Gen 6 when it is out next month so my money will come back soon :) Never have I ever over the years gotten similar experience anywhere else. Its why its been over 7 years since I made the switch to Apple and never looked back. [link] [comments]  | ||

| I spent 9 months making a beautifully simple (and free!) meditation app, vrtumind Posted: 08 Aug 2020 02:37 PM PDT Link here Hey r/Apple! I'm a 20yo self-taught dev and vrtumind is my first app, based in SwiftUI. I do a lot of volunteering in hospice care and hospitals. If you're lucky and haven't found yourself in either setting: they're incredibly stressful. If you work in a hospital, you never have time to decompress. So many of my coworkers simply don't have the time to meditate and calm down between patients, so I built a simple app to help them out. What's a "vrtumind"?"vrtumind" is a play on words — pronounced "virtue-mind", it means that your mind is a virtue: something you should care for, and never something you should ignore. What makes it different than all the other meditation apps?vrtumind uses AI to make personalized 1- and 3- minute mediations for busy students & professionals who don't have the time to get into meditation. More specifically, the app generates customized guided meditations about what you need in the moment:
I don't want to download the app, but I'm pretty stressed right now.Here's a little 1-minute meditation for you to de-stress! What do you need from me?I want to know what else everyone wants me to add! I'm looking for what I can do better to make you come back and use it every day. Here's some planned features in the works:
Really excited about getting on the app store and hitting 1,000 downloads after just a week! Wanted to share with everyone here :) For more info: [link] [comments]  |
