How do you put this on?
It goes around the back of the ear

Glad to hear it!

I still don’t understand why they don’t simply create a “sort” option for us. I just want to sort my grocery list easily. But we’ve got Vision Pro and whatnot.
Help me a lotsssss, it workssssss!!!!!!!
Excellent! Glad to hear it!
Sound is extremely low, almost inaudible. Need to re-render with increased audio output volume.
Thanks for the feedback!
Thank you
You're welcome!
Thank you!
You're welcome! Glad this helped!
Thick people who cannot be bothered to do their job; what a waste of time
Oh, so my phone crashed?
Or an app or process on your phone crashed, yeah. It's not terribly uncommon, and generally not something to be concerned about unless it's happening repeatedly.
OH! WHAT A LIFESAVER!!!
@@GaitanoMbati glad to hear it!
Very helpful
Sweet! Glad to hear it!
Uninstalled apps on my iPhone are the 6 most used apps by myself on my own iPhone PLUS all those apps are on my home-screen
That’s not how it works at all
Really wish this option was available on all automation types
It's available on more and more with each iteration of iOS, so maybe there's hope! Which one aren't you seeing it on?
Thank you!
Glad it helped!!
HDR appears to be switched off as its on all the time in the latest iPhones is in settings, photos 'View Full HDR' default is on. Another great show. Thanks 😀
Ahh thanks for the heads-up on that!
heyy sir I have Mac mini m2 but I don't have apple monitor I have benq monitor and usb keyboard and mouse after sleep mode I try to wake up my Mac mini but that not waking up I think the monitor is not detecting the sig but I have to turn off monitor and on and everything is back to normal how do I solve this issue
Check the cable between the Mac and the monitor. I've definitely seen some cables not support the handshake between the two.
If anyone is still having issues with this try disconnecting anything connected to usb.
Great advice, and excellent troubleshooting step. Thank you!
Not sure how they call them custom when there is a universal rubber tip on them…
You CAN get them fully-custom molded for both the tip and the outer ear, but their advice is that you'll get a better seal with the universal tip with the custom shell.
Worked for me.
Nice!!
BRILLIANT! Thank you
W00t! I'm glad that worked for you.
Thanks it helped me
Glad to hear it!!
Why can Synology not offer a migration utility to go from Ext4 to Btrfs ... even if required to backup to offline media and then restore? Or, does something like that actually exist ... even if from 3rd party?
You can use Hyper Backup to do that, and it's all supported. In fact, that's their recommended path. But they don't have an in-place way to change the underlying format on the disk. When I moved from EXT4-to-BTRFS years ago, I took it as an opportunity to start fresh and build my system up from (mostly) scratch. It (mostly) paid off. :)
Ty very much my hubby has destroyed 2 pairs of air pods pro & nearly a third, will give it a go. Have a fabulous morning, afternoon or evening. 🐨🦘🇦🇺
If Pete was using Camo when this was recorded, it is a pretty poor advertisement for the webcam utility. His video looked pretty terrible with a lot of poor separation of Pete from the background. The boundary between Pete and the background was jumping all over the place. I love the show, though. Keep up the good work.
Yeah, Pete's been doing some experimenting with a green screen setup, and the reality is that doing that in real time with *any* engine (I think he was using Streamyard's green-screen engine) just doesn't work great, and that's *especially* true with a chair-back that's higher than his shoulders *and* a microphone in front. It just doesn't give the engine much flexibility to work with. :) He's trying to make it work, but I think the reality is that simply getting a partition to put behind him is going to be the best solution. He's determined, though. We shall see!
I just upgraded from a 2013 i5 pro (OS last updated about a year ago) to a M3 Air running Sonoma. My transcended SSD enclosure immediately started disconnecting every few minutes… it has no issues in the old laptop. There is definitely a bug in Sonoma that I’ve read was present in Ventura also. Hundreds of people experience this same thing and it’s nothing to do with cables or faulty enclosures. The ‘drives sleep when possible’ setting doesn’t solve it either… this was the first thing I tried as well as the ‘prevent sleep when display off’ setting. Some people report the ‘disk ejected’ message appears after wake up (which is true, mine was doing this) but as well as that, it was doing it every few minutes when the MacBook was in use. Even if the drive was being read at the time… for example playing a video file. I disabled all sleep settings and enabled ‘wake for network access’… I didn’t do things one at a time so haven’t pinpointed it but by going ‘all in’ on the settings it did solve my issue. What I can say for certain is that neither of the 2 obvious options that should relate to the issue had any effect. It’s very weird… it does seem related to sleep settings but the problem doesn’t only happen during sleep. Definitely a bug through with recent OS versions that wasn’t there previously.
When I change to wpa2 in router setting, yes my device can connect BUT the speed was very slow, so we need to find a solution for a bgn wireless can adapt to wpa3 encryption
Dave " basically we need Wi-Fi 7 to pay these bills"
I'm not sure I understand? Eero didn't pay for this spot, if that's what you're asking?
Appreciate the video. I find this remains very finicky. I have to tap 2 or 3 times (sometimes more) to get it to pop up. I may have three messages in a row all with tapbacks. It seems to randomly show which one it wants to show.
Hmm... I find that a quick tap on the tapbacks themselves gets me there pretty reliably. I wonder if you zoomed in your screen if that would change anything?
@@DaveHamilton Maybe. I'll play around with it further. Appreciate the response. Thanks.
Thank you! This was so helpful. I have been fighting my computer ever since I upgraded to Sonoma. I have been searching for the solution for weeks now. This was my answer. Thanks!
Sweet! I'm glad this worked for you, too! :)
This is me to a T, battery health has been stuck at 85% for 6 months, while the battery life has tanked
Hopefully the contacts-syncing reset helped?
What if you're in the motel, captive portal won't show .. (here is where we need help). Enter site to url but receive site can't be reached. Do we just change hotels at this point or what? :-)
If you're putting neverssl.com/ into your web browser and not getting a response, check your Network settings to confirm: (a) that you have an IP address (b) that your DNS is set to automatically configure itself from the DHCP server (and specifically NOT have custom DNS set) (c) that you don't have any content blockers enabled in your web browser. If that fails, try visiting neverssl.com in a private browsing window, too.
idiotic video.. vaporware
Is that the Kelly from the old podcasts?
It sure is! The one and only Kelly Guimont.
You talk about the RATGDO?
This was so much fun in-person. Sure hope you do it again at next year's Macstock!
Thanks for saying that! This is the third time we've done MGG live (somewhere) at Macstock. Assuming we can all make it out there with our schedules and such again, we'll do it live there again!
Awesome to see you guys on RUclips. I have always listened to your audio podcast. I find your shows so informative and helpful, especially since I have gone 'all Apple'. Thanks for all you do!
Glad you liked it! And stoked to have you as a listener, too. :)
iPad mini is small enough where Slide to Type needs to be enabled on the full-size keyboard.
Ohhh... that's a REALLY good point.
This is a feature of Apple Watch Series 6 or newer.
Thanks, @BradMacPro!
I finally got the M1 MacBook Air that I've been smitten by since it was first introduced. My sister got the base model of this on a President's Day sale last year. She's a teacher and has been perfectly happy with her 8G M1 MacBook Air. I decided that I'm going to be keeping this for a good long time so I got mine with double the RAM and double the storage to match the 13" MacBook Pro (2012) that it's replacing. Now I'm beginning to wonder it I might have wasted my money.
I think the storage doubling is something that will definitely pay off. Whether or not you need the RAM... yeah... we don't know! :)
Life changing option!
Sweet!!
thanks
Glad it worked for you!
5:31 Bro left 🤣
Haha, yep! Seems Adam's connection had a flake-out for a minute!
Great Video! Keep it up!
Thanks!
Re-elect biden, and your electric rates will not only continue to go up, they will skyrocket through your roof of your home. I heard about the electric increases where you live it is absolutely incredible. But you people continue to vote Democrat so you continue to sleep in that dirty filthy better yours then
Maybe it was mentioned but, why not just use a second mac as a back up server? It can be at home or studio. It can mirror the entire collection on machines in the office and at home. He should also have a “real” offsite back up of his photos too. Backblaze is what I use for this. Backblaze used to have a page about using it to back up photo collections. But for me, it is simply backing up my media folder which has all the images and photos. So, he can have the current project files managed on his work machines. They should all have Time Machine externals as a kind of instant access for mistakes and back up. Then the server, which can also be an archive. It can have its own Time Machine drive too. Then the big off site Backblaze kind of all files back up. That would be if both home and office are gone, like in a flood, hurricane, earthquake, conflagration, etc. that takes out a large land area. No need for Qnap or Synology complexity. A used M1 and some external hard drives can do the job.
For sure, having a second Mac that can be (a) fixed in position and (b) set to "Download all" would be a great option though, as mentioned, not everyone can do that, so we explored alternatives.
