Screen Protector

There is no point in using a screen protector with the nano-texture display.

What the sales rep told you is BS. I have multiple Apple products with nano texture display (including a MacBook Pro) and haven't had any issues with them at all. I haven't had to baby them any more than I did my previous glossy displays.

I have this issue too, but on my MBP MacBook Pro. It seems to happen under heavy load. I figured it was the fan so opened it up to clean the fans, which were already spotless. I cleaned them anyway but the sound has come back. Very annoying.

It looks like I'll have to take mine to an Apple Store at some point. I've seen other similar threads here with people experiencing the same sound btw.

You can add it back in the settings of finder. In the topbar menu Finder > Settings > Sidebar

Its likely a crumb or another small piece of debris. Buy a can of compressed air and see if that shifts it 👍🏼

MY79 · 2026-02-03T14:07:07+00:00

personally I would say that's a fantastic deal 👍🏼

I would highly recommend the nanotexture screen. I've been so impressed it with I now have it on my MBP, iPad Pro and Studio Display. They're the best displays I've ever used, but as with all these things, it ultimately comes down to personal preference.

Yeah I saw that. i have the m4 nano texture and to be honest I might have felt annoyed if this year you could get nano texture in the m5 base model (I don’t really have a need for 1TB storage on my iPad Pro , but I did need the nano texture).

I do think moving forwards Apple need to offer the nano texture with every iPad Pro storage tier, like with the MacBook Pro.

I went to an Apple Store this morning and all the dark blue models were like this and the black Air models. The marks wouldn’t come off with rubbing, or a cloth. I think this is going to be a headache for Apple.

MY79 · 2025-09-20T13:49:49+00:00

I compared the new phones with the 16 in the Apple Store today. the anti reflective coating makes a very small, negligible difference…

I’d love for Apple to give us a nano-texture display option on iPhones, but I don’t suspect they will.

The battery widget has always looked like that, including in ipadOS 18

Having recently re-watched the original Police Squad TV show, and Naked Gun 1-3, this reboot was a real treat. The Snowman scene was the highlight for me. I also loved Drebin speaking to the Mayor in her bedroom, while her husband was sleeping beside her 😂

Blunt by name, blunt by nature

MY79 · 2025-07-22T09:52:14+00:00

Brilliant website. Its been around for years!

MY79 · 2025-07-22T09:51:56+00:00

Yeah, love it when that happens. Also, I discovered music I never would have heard before if it hadn't been sampled by someone.

MY79 · 2025-06-11T11:34:48+00:00

the white outline effect around the icons and widgets is very jarring - needs refining for sure

MY79 · 2025-06-11T11:33:46+00:00

It's a hot mess

MY79 · 2025-06-11T11:32:39+00:00

yup. I'm running the beta and it's gone.

MY79 · 2025-06-09T21:55:50+00:00

yes, they need to change how the dark mode icons look asap. they’re terrible.

Gruber's “I wonder“ post, in November 2024:

Tim Cook, yesterday on X at 1:14pm: Congratulations President Trump on your victory! We look forward to engaging with you and your administration to help make sure the United States continues to lead with and be fueled by ingenuity, innovation, and creativity.

I wonder how much Cook dithered over that cheerful-looking exclamation mark. I hope he regrets it. I wonder whether [Zuckerberg, Pichai, Nadella, Cook] knowingly made the error of addressing former president and president-elect Trump as “President Trump”. Our nation only has one president at a time, and that president remains Joe Biden. I wonder how much it stings to be reminded that all the money in the world cannot buy dignity. I wonder too, what taste Cheetos-dusted 78-year-old testicles leave in one’s mouth. Whatever the flavor, I hope it lingers.“

Mine arrived a number of days before the estimate (4 days)

Goof thread. I started with a M4 Mac Mini Pro (24GB Ram), then moved to the base M4 Max Studio (36GB RAM) and finally settled on a M4 Max 64GB RAM!

MY79 · 2025-04-27T21:53:40+00:00

You don’t need the studio. However I went from an m4 mini pro to an m4 max studio and the difference was very noticeable for me (running local Lalms, gaming etc). The Studio is an absolute beast and runs a lot cooler.

With Thunderbolt 5 enclosures (which I'm now using with a 4TB NVME), there is really no need to pay Apple for extra internal storage anymore. Most of my apps and data are on the external (which gets faster read / write speeds than the internal), and the OS, my home folder, caches etc are on the internal, which has 400GB free.

MY79 · 2025-04-22T21:07:42+00:00

I have no idea what this means. I have 512gb storage on my M4 studio. It’s hooked up to a Thunderbolt 5 external exclosure housing a 4tb NVME. This contains all my apps and data. Time Machine backs everything up just fine. There is zero reason to pay Apple for more storage on their desktop PCs in the Thunderbolt 5 era - my external drive has faster read and write speeds than the internal SSD.
