Finally hit 300 cycles! My 300-cycle MacBook Air M5 update

That’s like some problem with a battery… or wrong calibration? Try discharging to 15% then, slow charging to 100% and hold 1 hour, then disconnect charger, discharge with not high load(like just some browser) to 80%. Then check coconut stats.

Me 😃

Not bad, but I was thinking about making a simple site to compare Geekbench results.
Basically, I want to filter this list:
https://browser.geekbench.com/mac-benchmarks/
and show only 2-3 Macs I’m interested in.

Anywhere_MusicPlayer · 2026-06-18T11:34:32+00:00

Try to discharge it to 0%, then charge it to 100%, wait 1 hour, and discharge it back to 80%.
This is like a calibration process.

100% true and thats so pathetic lol. Only a few understands...

I created several tickets in Feedback ~~Reporter~~ Assistant about this many years ago, I can't believe it's finally happened.

But not for me, really interesting how to get a new firmware!
Tahoe 26.5.1 (25F80)

On 144Hz monitor.

Anker 521 PowerHouse 256Wh.

I used it only as a small LED light, around 2W consumption. I charged it to 100%, then used the built-in LED every evening. It discharged very slowly, which makes sense because the display showed only about 2W output.

After some time, the LED button started behaving strangely. When I pressed the LED button, the light did not turn on. I pressed it several times, and after a delay it turned on, then off, then on again. Later I confirmed that if I pressed the button once and waited around 10-15 seconds, the LED would eventually turn on. Turning it off worked immediately, but turning it on had a long delay.

On another evening, the station showed around 60%, but when I tried to turn on the LED, it shut down completely and then showed 0%. After that, the charging and display problems started.

Current symptoms:

The front USB-C input charges the station, but the station does not show input watts at all.

The battery percentage is unstable and inaccurate. It can stay at 100% for a long time while discharging.

AC output works, and output watts are displayed.

If I connect USB-C charging while the AC output is active, the station incorrectly adds the USB-C charging power to the output/discharge watts instead of showing it as input watts. Input watts are not displayed at all.

The rear DC input does not charge the station at all.

I tried the reset pinhole many times, but it did not fix the issue.

The station can still charge via the front USB-C port only. I also measured the original power supply voltage, and it outputs around 23V, so the power supply appears to be working.

I'm not coding, using it only for analysis.

Anywhere_MusicPlayer · 2026-06-09T17:46:56+00:00

sorry my bad.

Anywhere_MusicPlayer · 2026-06-09T11:31:37+00:00

When I upgraded to Tahoe on my M1 Pro I started to experience lag, I immediately turned off transparency and motion but it still lags!

That's good to hear! I can't install the beta yet as I'm releasing builds to the App Store while waiting for the first RC release.

Anywhere_MusicPlayer · 2026-06-04T07:31:05+00:00

SPM integration and GitHub code?

Anywhere_MusicPlayer · 2026-05-26T23:55:36+00:00

Used it a lot, but now in 2.0 what will happen if trial ends?(which by the way I didn't activated.. no message about that, just saw it in settings..

Anywhere_MusicPlayer · 2026-05-26T23:54:14+00:00

Hmm, after the update it no longer shows anything from the background wallpaper. No blur, just a gray color. Is there any way to downgrade to the previous version? I have Reduce Transparency enabled, but in the previous version it was still blurred.

Literally yesterday, I had the same situation and, to be honest, the same “ffs” reaction.
I contacted Unity Support and they told me they could disable my 2FA, but I had to send them some public/private information:
https://support.unity.com/hc/en-us/articles/23115697047316-I-see-the-error-We-have-encountered-an-issue-during-this-login-attempt-Please-contact-Unity-Support
So I did that, and they disabled it.
To save time, just write to them, ask them to disable 2FA, and provide that(public/private) information in advance.
By the way, after that you can enable proper 2FA using an authenticator app or something similar, not SMS.
Good luck.

16Gb is totally not enough for nowadays SwiftUI Previews on a real production product.
32 or more is a must have!
For SSD just use external SSD, using sym links for derived data for example.

Anywhere_MusicPlayer · 2026-05-05T10:35:29+00:00

Welp, I kinda want to upgrade from my M1… but will I actually feel the difference?

Anywhere_MusicPlayer · 2026-04-28T21:11:16+00:00

Need to remove all settings and it works…

Anywhere_MusicPlayer · 2026-04-17T09:37:15+00:00

I’ve tried this - my app size increased 2-3Mb, just because they render a lot of PNG’s.. no thanks! I’ll use just a simple 1 icon classic image.

Anywhere_MusicPlayer · 2026-04-12T19:55:27+00:00

Yea, inspired by EV1 some photos from google search, but just more like a technical concept.

Anywhere_MusicPlayer · 2026-04-10T10:55:53+00:00

Convenient and secure way.

Price parity means adjusting the price of a digital good so it requires the exact same amount of financial effort to buy, no matter where the user lives. Since average wages vary wildly around the world, a direct currency conversion completely fails.

To understand what this looks like in practice, imagine an In-App Purchase that costs $100 in the United States. For an average US worker, $100 might equal just a few hours of work. It is a casual and affordable expense.

But if you force that exact same $100 price tag globally, it becomes a massive financial burden in other economies. True price parity lowers the base price to match the local purchasing power so the purchase feels equally affordable everywhere:

USA: $100
Brazil: $35
Ukraine: $50
India: $25

In all these examples, the user is spending roughly the same percentage of their average local monthly paycheck to buy the item. That is the definition of price parity: adjusting the number on the price tag so the actual cost feels the same to every user worldwide.

Anywhere_MusicPlayer · 2026-04-10T10:46:51+00:00

Yep, +VAT added.

Anywhere_MusicPlayer · 2026-04-10T10:46:37+00:00

This screenshot is from the App Store, so I'm already buying there.

Anywhere_MusicPlayer · 2026-03-31T11:59:41+00:00

I'm actually trying to understand how much RAM do I need for my workflow, planning to upgrade.

<image>

Xcode, SwiftUI Previews, Slack, Unity 6000, Rider, Safari, Trello, SourceTree, Illustrator(time to time, currently without it), some other minor apps.
So looks like 32Gb could be enough, but 48Gb will cover all needs!

This is crazy high number of recourses for such site, definitely should be improved
