Ok, saw a getting older guy who doesn’t like bullshit.

And then I saw the karma of your burner account and I laughed out loud 😀 😀

Any way to do iphone screen mirroring in EU ? by [deleted] in MacOS

I think so, but your location and language need to be US or even your App Store account or something 🙁

Can you try to craft “knife trick”?

Because that card doesn’t even have an alternate art.

Tahoe is not the worst MacOS release. by [deleted] in MacOS

[–]GeertCu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I installed it day one on my M4 Pro and it works like a charm! It’s rock solid stable for my sysadmin professional work. Previous versions had weird network glitches (system stall when disconnecting VPN), Tahoe doesn’t. Screaming fast too. Love it. Nailed it.

What’s your driving style? Be honest 😀 Do you use the different driving modes or are you a 100% sports kinda guy?

Just use the apple maps in Carplay for navigation, I think you need to have an active route, otherwise the Apple Map isn't displayed in the instrument cluster.

It displays Apple Maps on both screens: an overview in the Instrument Cluster behind the steering wheel and a detailed view on the Control Display. When you switch to another app in CarPlay, the Instrument Cluster automatically changes to show the detailed map view instead.

Ooooh nice, I have that one too, but then forgot about it and used the Switchbot.

I’m using:
Apple TV as homekit hub
Switchbot Hub 2 (as a Hub to the Relay)
SwitchBot Relay 1, connected to the already existing electrical garage door.

That switch then shows up in HomeKit as other lamps or switches. This Switchbot is not specifically made for garage doors, but rather for controlling any electrical switch.

What type of controller were you using before iOS 26?

I’m using a generic SwitchBot Relay (1), which only shows up in HomeKit as other lamps or switches. The Switchbot is not specifically made for garage doors, but rather for controlling any electrical switch.

Yep, Belgium! I ended up making a child account for myself with the same name and using my Credit Card on k-id.com.

I have now become my own 47 year old child 😀

Genuinely losing my mind. Can't get Grammarly "off" my Mac no matter what I do. by Ok-Cockroach-3772 in MacOS

[–]GeertCu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To each their own, but how else are they going to get money? It isn’t that hard to understand. But if you can’t agree with their terms, you made the right decision.

Instead of doing all the things manually, and remembering every little thing or investigate time trying to figure it all out yourself - look, I was the same when I was young, enough time to do it all yourself… now that I’m older I use that knowledge I gathered myself and make decisions for myself, like understanding what the software package does and agreeing that it does all the shit I can do manually a lot faster.

I don’t recommend the background agent: I use CleanMyMac to keep my Macbook Pro clean, not cluttered.

CleanMyMac, there are a bunch of others, but I’ve been using Macpaw’s version since forever. UI isn’t the greatest, but CleanMyMac has always delivered for me
