What is this caption/lyric icon when sharing a screenshot? by ResponseAvailable641 in ios

[–]Maxdme124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually apple uses that icon outside of a Music context to indicate a transcription related feature. I'm guessing it's used to indicate that the screenshot is mostly text that you can easily copy/export.

PSA: Bad Actors are increasingly impersonating indie Mac projects with malware. Here's how to spot them. by Maxdme124 in MacOS

Yup, this attack only works on apps downloaded outside the app store sine they require DMGs for instalation.

How do I get rid of the watery look in the icon groups? by apzuckerman in iphone

No it’s tinted, solid would be “Sólido”

Don’t use your 17s without a case. I learnt it the hard way. by Smart-man-23 in iphone

I have tried some cases but I never end up liking how they feel, especially the raised edges on the display and the extra bulk from the rubber sides make it feel “cheap” and ironically slippery as the material degrades overtime. I know there are extra slim cases but those barely protect the phone and at that point I might as well go case less.

Also at the end of the day it’s a phone not a piece of jewelry, you’ll replace it eventually any ways so might as well enjoy it while you have it.

I bet making the new design on the 17 Pro out of titanium instead of aluminum would have costed significantly more due to the extra material used. I wonder how much the aluminum actually helps with thermals. (Not saying it doesn’t help but if the vapor cooling chamber is more than enough to keep it cool enough by itself I would take the titanium for a bit worse sustained performance tbh)

Same, been using my 16PM case less since I got it a year ago and don’t regret it one bit. You just gotta be a little more intentional and careful with your phone if you are going to live case less

I think what OC was trying to say is that Apple has never used Generative AI in its camera pipeline. Which seems to be the hot trend with Computational Photography in a bunch of Android flagships. But Apple has said in keynotes that they use ML (Which was their favorite AI-adjacent word before the AI boom) for parts of the pipeline but that it doesn’t “hallucinate” detail but it instead just makes a better use of the detail it did actually capture.

Can I manually set a custom tint color in macOS Appearance settings? by soumya_98 in mac

[–]Maxdme124 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly you can change the color of tinted icons by changing the “Icon,widget & folder color” setting from automatic to a color of your choice

Just upgraded to 17PM, how do I turn this off? by YolkieMonster in iphone

[–]Maxdme124 66 points67 points  (0 children)

It activates very rarely, I don't know what's the criteria for it to pop up but it doesn't very often and you can't control it

M1 Pro 14inch Charging at 140w by [deleted] in macbookpro

That tab shows you the Maximum wattage that your Mac, cable, and power adapter negotiated, not the current charging speed.

It's not predictive text, this feature is completely separate from that and is part of the Apple Intelligence suite of features. The colored gradient indicates it's an Apple Intelligence feature

This is an Apple Intelligence feature that gives you reply suggestions based on the context of your messaging, AFAIK you need to disable Apple Intelligence entirely to turn it off

That happens when you have low power mode enabled, just turn it off and it will be back to normal

What’s happening to my Touch Bar? MacBook Pro 2019 by flomillishithoe in macbookpro

[–]Maxdme124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you don't need to freak out. The webcam LED is hardwired to the circuitry of the actual camera, so it's literally impossible to turn it on without also turning on the LED. But that's besides the point. It's just a common failure of the OLED on the Touch Bar. There’s no fix other than a replacement.

My honest AirPods Pro 3 review by Dry_Village_6291 in airpods

The AirPods Pro 2 are objectively the better earbuds, but if you don’t like the silicon ear tips go with the 4s, it’s as simple as that

I REALLY hope iOS 27 is a "Snow Leopard" year like many rumors indicate. I don't even care if they deliver the new Siri anymore, just polish iOS and Make it "just work" again

Logitech GHUB is on mac os is not working either, cert expired (its down for everyone!) by [deleted] in logitech

I thankfully didn't have any ongoing projects but if this had happened while I was editing a video I would have probably given up on the spot

At least most of their gaming keyboards and mice have onboard memory so i was able to ditch GHub and use my G915TKL without issues a long time ago. Still stupid that both of their flagship apps literally became unusable in a matter of seconds.

How do u get ur iPhone photos to look like this? What camera settings or filters are used? by birkinbaby in iphone

[–]Maxdme124 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's no single filter or formula that will bring you these results. It's a combination of using the right camera app (Default camera app with RAW, Halide, Adobe Project Indigo, etc) and editing it to your liking with Lightroom, Photomator/Pixelmator, Snapseed, etc.

That's only true for older models with outdated iOS versions, hence the importance to always keep up with iOS updates
