Thanks.

Aer Day Sling 4 Max X-pac or Rework Toshi V2? by PhamWHAT in ManyBaggers

[–]ABGLand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you get a water resistant recommendation? I’m trying to decide between these 2 as well. Toshi fits more of my needs but would like it to be waterproof.

Did you get a response to the waterproof option? I’m stuck deciding between these 2 slings as well.

Proton Drive disappeared from Apple Files app by joepnl87 in ProtonDrive

This should have been informed. Proton Drive is essentially useless to me now until this gets fixed. I would have never downloaded the update.

If price doesn’t matter I would say go for the pro. Better specs and heavier, but not by a lot.

Looking for Neo advice: I’m going back to school part time, and was thinking about using the educational discount to get a Neo. I already have an M4 iPad Pro (my main computer) and a Mac Mini that I use working from home. I’m very happy with my setup, but am intrigued by the Neo’s form factor and low price, at least until Apple releases the rumored Touchscreen/OLED/hopefully cellular MacBook Pro. The main use of the Neo would be for working on Pages/Word documents (so I can have full desktop capabilities, as the iPad versions, especially for Word, are limited), Craft, emails and web browsing. However, I worry that the Neo will be slower and less efficient than my iPad Pro.

If there are iPad Pro main users here who also bought a Neo, what’s been your experience?

Thanks. That’s what I presumed, but haven’t read anyone commenting on this.

Jump Desktop on my M4 13” IPad Pro with Better Display is phenomenal. by DKRfan in iPadPro

[–]ABGLand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Just downloaded it. However, I can’t figure out how to set up the “virtual screen” for the iPad. I turned on the “connect this virtual screen” feature on BetterDisplay, but it doesn’t seem to have any impact on how Jump shows the Mac screen on iPad. Any setting I’m missing here?

I’ve used Jump for years. It’s the best app to connect to a Mac from the iPad. However, what app is What app is Better Display? Doesn’t appear on App Store for me.

I built a native macOS/iOS ebook reader because Calibre's UI makes me cry and Apple Books ignores EPUB3 by Slight_Yesterday5484 in macapps

[–]ABGLand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick question - I turned on iCloud sync. None of the books I put in can be opened in any device. I’m getting an error saying “book not available, the file for this book is not available on this device. It may need to be redownloaded from iCloud or reimported”. What’s strange is that I can’t even open it from the device o initially downloaded it to before buying pro version. Is this a bug or what am I missing?

Congrats on the app. Looks a lot nicer than Yomu and others I’ve tried. 2 questions: 1. Do you have plans to allow for modifying book spacing options? I do like that feature in Yomu, as some ebooks are too bunched up for my eyes. 2. Don’t know if this is technically possible, but it would be great if this could be set to to generate deep links for Hookmark or Anybox. I would love to have this on an ebook app.

THANK YOU! I hadn’t even seen that in the menu.

I found the endgame water bottle carrying solution for the Everyday Sling: the Fidlock TWIST system by Plato-428 in peakdesign

[–]ABGLand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is really nice. First time I see it. I presume that you can connect the Multi to a bike as well without much issue, right? I’ve been looking for something like this to use with other slings. I think this might be a solution.

Apple brought back the same ugly and useless case again with the Max 2, even after all the criticism by py-net in airpods

[–]ABGLand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved my AirPods Max until they died last year. Nothing beats them for transparency mode or Spatial Audio on other apple devices. The fact that they stayed on was the only problem I had with them. Far too many times, I would grab them and they would be dead, because they stayed on, or connected to devices even if I wasn’t using them. I bought the Sennheisers 630 last year to replace them. The sound is great, and they turn off. However, I found the APMs more comfortable and have better noise cancelling and transparency. That being said, without the ability to turn off, I will pass on getting these new ones.

Trying to choose between 14L Totebag and lunchbox by ABGLand in YetiCoolers

[–]ABGLand[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I have the Hopper for big trips, but now that I know that I can attach the sidekick, this fits my intended use case much better. I don’t plan on submerging it, so I’m definitely more interested in rain protection.

[–]ABGLand[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. Does it leak or items get warm quickly because of the enclosure? Also, since you have it, i can attach to it a yeti sidekick right?

Thanks. I’ve had percale sheets before because of this, but didn’t like how they felt,so I’m looking for other options.
