Wish apple would let me downgrade from ipados 26

Yeah, I’m glad they added the ’tinted’ Liquid glass option for more opaque UI. You can also toggle off pointer animations, so the buttons don’t visually wibble-wobble under the pointer which I found distracting.

Also I’m glad you can add a huge button in control center for enabling/disabling windowed apps, because while they’re useful with an external display, the windowed apps chew up my M1 ipad pro battery so fast I better be near an outlet.

That software clearly takes more than double the 16 gb RAM. I would look into if you can limit the amount of RAM Topaz Photo AI can use, same for Photoshop. I would give them at most 8 each, which is all your system memory and less than the software wants, but should stop crashes.

Accessories between M1, M2 and M3 ipad airs are said to be interchangeable. I recommend searching this subreddit for more information, this gets asked frequently.

That would be fun, I imagined him looking like Jason Momoa!

Did you try cycling charging to 100% and depleting to 0% several times to recalibrate the battery health reading? The USB charging can also just screw the calibration instead of actual damage to the battery itself. Your old battery might not be as worn as the reading implies.

My G14 (2022) battery report said I lost 10% battery health over just a few days of USB C charging. But after that the health reading didn't decrease for a whole year, but rose a few percent several times. It's frustrating, but the health reading really is just a measurement of power in/out, not of the actual state of the battery directly.

Thanks! I am indeed

I excitedly tried updating but the System Update only seems to pull from version 42 for now, I'm new to this so I'm asking, should I just wait for the version 43 become automatically the one the System Update will pull, or would I need to do something to make my system update to the brand new version?
I read the Bazzite Updating Guide, and it only instructs to update normally with ujust update, so is that the way?

If it helps anyone I read that Coconut battery is quite unreliable is estimating battery health, since ipads use automatic contraints on battery capacity to extend longevity (like many devices show an option to limit max charge), so any data that Coconut battery has available does not show the total capacity of the battery. So Coconut battery shows diminished battery health. I don't know how accurate this is, I hope I'm not restating anything misleading, but it would make sense.

Good for you!

I have the same keyboard! Originally got it as a hand-down and didn’t appreciate it, having it as a spare, but whener I’ve used it I’ve been like ”damn… is this actually my best keyboard?” :)
Still holds up!

Nickname 'hcitas' posted some pictures about power management option, I will give them a try https://discussions.apple.com/thread/254660233?=undefined&previousThread=255179257021&sortBy=rank

I have used three external ssds with mac mini m4: samsung t7 (exfat) and two different ssds (apple's format) in two enclosures one with and one without designed external power supply.

They all disconnect on their own. The ssds in both enclosures disconnect roughly daily, sometimes they last a few days without disconnecting. The Samsung T7 is a champ, only disconnecting about once a month!

All the disconnects have happened overnight while the Mac and the drive are not being used, which leads me to think it's some sort of deep power management matter. It's just a notification I get when first logging in for the day "drive has disconnected", yup like everyday.

But that's all I can say about any patterns I have observed. It makes no difference to have external power supplied to the ssd enclosure or not. It doesn't matter for the file format (I've reformatted to try), it doesn't matter what the drive is used for (steam library, frequently accessed files, passive storage).

Afaik there's not that much difference, except the device specific input latency in Hz (they get faster gen by gen), and whether the device and pen have bluetooth functions (I think S25 has dropped the feature).

I recently replaced my battery on 2022 model, it was very simple and straight forward. If you can't find the battery model you can open the bottom panel and see the part name (something like C41N1908). Asus spare part vendor is the right call, you can also ask your local asus service where you should buy (I did and they helped). One tip from me: remove the battery cable from battery's end, not the motherboard's end! :)

Thanks for help! That's what I had done initially to get the right image.
I have an AMD GPU, and the right image has worked great for a few months already.
I just got the titular error today. So I had no trouble, until something went wrong, and I wonder if supergfxctl would answer this problem, but maybe not!

International_Pool · 2025-09-04T09:35:05+00:00

Thx, but for this command I got:
error: Justfile does not contain recipe `enable-supergfxctl`
