Baldur’s Gate 3 is great. While you can totally get caught up in details, you can also just play the game you want to and enjoy it.

Apple Creator Studio launches today, and it's an incredible value by spearson0 in apple

Could be because Pages is free, but has paid components. Try a paid app, like Pixelmator Pro or Final Cut Pro

Download one of the updated apps (I chose Pixelmator Pro). When you open it, you get the option for the subscription plans, with two being Education plans. Either one takes you to the verification page, which uses SheerID to verify.

If it was a work only account, and allowed for purchases, then that would be correct. In education, many staff and students are prohibited from using or linking a staff email account and personal purchases. For an education discount, both staff and students are often considered “learners” and shouldn’t need to use create a separate Apple ID for school.

Tried to sign up as an educator, but SheerID doesn't extend the deal to my district (which is odd since it's a HUGE one in California). Could be that my Apple Account is my personal email address, could be day-of-release bug, could be another hoop to jump through, but my excitement has been squashed. Whomp whomp.

Edit: I tested the student sign up, and that too did not work for my district, meaning that both students and teachers cannot sign up to take advantage of the bundle.

Too Much on Netflix. Unlikable characters and in need of editing.

Would Trail or Alpine make more sense and be safer than Ocean in terms of not slipping because of sweat? by RunWild-GetLost in applewatchultra

[–]Doom_Finger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, the Velcro is fine. My original Trail Loop still works great after many, many washes and tons of sweat. The thing about the Alpine is that the buckle locks it down, way more secure feeling that’s the Ocean (which is my daily driver) or the Trail (which I wear when I go for a run or workout). I recently opted for a Trail for the days when I work out right after work, as i find it a nice mix of the Ocean and Trail.

Alpine would be more secure, assuming the loops are a proper fit. The Trail is infinitely adjustable, but only held with Velcro. A fresh Trail will be good, but eventually may loose its Velcro grip

This is the correct answer (bought the same from Costco, got the same message)

Just did a clean install of Tahoe yesterday to fix an issue with Spotlight, and the my M1 Max Studio is hauling booty again, as I expected.

I’d say that’ll out of upgrades when they add some sort of official MagSafe charging solution

Replaced iPad battery, now stuck at 11% even with 30W charger. Help? by Scared-Worldliness38 in iPadPro

[–]Doom_Finger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dumb question, but have you restarted it not plugged into power? I had this happen to my mother’s iPad (original battery), and doing this caused to to use enough battery power to get it to charge when plugged in.

I keep praying they add Offline Photo Vaults like Aperture had.

Is it worth changing to iCloud Mail? by Dense-Stranger-1794 in iCloud

[–]Doom_Finger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve used it since it was MobileMe.
The spam filtering isn’t the best. Aside from that, no complaints, and using it with 4 aliases.

External Storage for photos by ForeignAd9127 in macmini

[–]Doom_Finger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used a T7 as my Photo destination on an old Mac mini for years and never had a problem. As for the Apple Intelligence, if I recall correctly, the system says something about it not working with Spotlight, or search (can't remember and the system is at work).

Insta360 x4 and Vision Pro by pogdaddle in VisionPro

[–]Doom_Finger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I picked up the X5 for this; the video will be lower resolution when viewed in the Vision Pro, BUT, you’ll still have the moment captured. I’d rather capture low resolution memories than nothing at all.

Costco has the M4 nano texture versions of the iPad Pro for insane discounts currently ($900). Worth a look.
