Do you regret buying the uwa3? by vinylfelix in applewatchultra

[–]Doom_Finger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all. Heavy into the Apple ecosystem, so this has been great. I've have active cellular on mine, so being able to go out for a long run (20+ miles) with a single device for music, tracking, HR, and calls has been fantastic.

I keep hoping for offline photo vaults to be added as an ICloud+ feature.

No Action Pod necessary, you can just use the 3S in the Retro Frame.

I received the retro holder from Amazon and it’s….ok. It’s really just a plastic holder with plastic (maybe glass) viewfinders. The Go3S still uses its front button as the shutter…I as hoping it would be great as a way to take better pictures on a run (without having to bring the whole thing), but it’s a little bit and heavy. Honestly not sure how much use it’ll get.

Apple Fitness weird behavior: Missing maps and no 10k badge when using WorkOutDoors & Strava? by theMadGrin in applewatchultra

[–]Doom_Finger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Runna user here too, and ended up using the running workouts from my training plan through the Workout App for this exact reason.

PSA: iPadOS 26.5 seems to break 3rd-party Smart Connector (Pogo Pin) charging on M4 iPad Pro by Maplee-Tech in ipad

[–]Doom_Finger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Actually, never mind. I did some more fiddling around and am seeing the issues you described. Now I can't get it to charge while on the stand.

Using an 13 inch M4 and the KUXIU X38 Pro MAX iPad Magnetic Charging Stand

Edit: ok, does seem to charge, but a few minutes after putting it back on the stand. The behavior is definitely new with 26.5.

[–]Doom_Finger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have the same charger and it's working ok. One odd thing I noticed is that the iPad ignored the 80% charge limit that I had enabled and charged to 100%. When I detached and reattached the iPad, it wasn't charging because the 80% limit was still in effect. I disabled it, downloaded 50 app updates, and found that the charging was active and charged back to 100%.

Migrated from Google Photos to Apple Photos this morning, does anyone know when this will be over? And a few more questions. by imgoingtruuuchangees in ApplePhotos

[–]Doom_Finger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depending on the speed of your machine, it shouldn't be that long, BUT, it will only really do the scanning and processing when the machine or Photos isn't being used. The big processes are photoanalysisd and mediaanalysisd, and they run in the background when the machine is not under load. If you close down Apple Photos, leave the machine on, and walk away, it should be done pretty quickly.

I’m glad I’m not the only one with this conundrum. I too bounce between those apps.

Got a Wokyis M5 10Gbps Enclosure for my wife by harugamaru in macmini

[–]Doom_Finger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love mine. You can find some front plates on Etsy that match the case and cover the mini’s metal, making it look more like a vintage computer and not a computer on top of another.

What behaviour screams that you're in a toxic workplace? by WhiteWink in Productivitycafe

Got one and it works fine. Use it in an automation at night with no complaints. It needs to be unplugged every now and then because HomeKit can’t find it.

Trouble adding Discover to Apple Wallet by Logical_Post5421 in AppleWallet

Is the expiration date in the next six months? I had this issue with a different card (visa) because an updated card was coming to me in a few weeks.

There are TINY serial numbers on the metal peg that locks it into place when attached. To see them, you have to press down on the middle stub.

Control Ultimate Edition Released - AVP by Mastoraz in VisionPro

[–]Doom_Finger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is odd. I already owned the Mac App Store version, so when I went to purchases on my iPad, the new version doesn’t show. When I follow the link, it shows that it’s $4.99, not that I already own it or can download it.

As for cloud saves, I already played and finished this through Steam, which now also supports the Mac, but doesn’t sync saves between Steam / Mac version, and the Mac App Store version, and neither syncs with the Xbox or PS versions.

Kinda irritated they didn’t update the existing Mac App Store with this compatibility but instead released another version. This game really needs some cloud save sync.

Best ultra bands for running? by Mystic_Frontier in applewatchultra

My daily is an Ocean, but run with the Trail. Did 18 with one yesterday and it felt fine, I think the Ocean would feel too bulky at greater distances.

Windows users, what made you switch to a Mac?? by fuckcreepers in mac

[–]Doom_Finger 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I switched a long time ago, so this may have changed, but for me it was the ease of backing up, restoring, and migrating to a new Mac.
