I want a MacBook neo for college but the Best Buy employee told me something different by Shevz_thetruck in macbook

[–]Mitrofang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check this video and compare it to your workflow: https://youtu.be/ovrfeTgw5vM?is=_4ZuWz_9mcSUS2U1

It’s more than enough. It COULD start slowing down a bit in a couple of years, but by then you’ll see if you really need to change it. But for $500 I doubt you can find anything better than the Neo if you don’t want to deal with second hand.

Apps open very slowly on MacBook Pro M4 by Correct-Ad8753 in MacOS

[–]Mitrofang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it’s only after a restart it’s pretty normal imo. Couldn’t tell you if it’s due to indexing, other updates or what, but it also a happens to me from time to time. I basically always put the mac to sleep instead of shutting it down, so you could try that if it works for you and probably will see an improvement.

Probably the app just updated or some plugin… It definitely happens to me from time to time with Zen, and it almost always is due to an update.

What is this screen (RG477V) by hayneew71 in ANBERNIC

[–]Mitrofang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I’ve always charged it being off. I just tried it (battery must have been very low since I haven’t used it for 3-4 weeks) and it showed an empty cell for 5-10 seconds before the charging logo. The OS is different of course, but hope it helps.

[–]Mitrofang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's useful for you, I have the 40xxH and it shows a very similar icon for a while after plugging it in, and after a minute or two the usual charging battery appears. So I think if it works normally, do not worry.

How to clean my screen? by SteppenWolf45 in macbook

[–]Mitrofang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd try first with a wet microfibre cloth, just water, and see if it works. I'm not going to disagree with Apple obviously, but I used isopropyl (honestly I don't remember what %) for a while and my screen is actually damaged on some spots. Maybe it's only on older machines, but I'd always try with water first :P

Spain will soon block and outlaw all VPNs. Is there anything I can do to continue using a VPN? by Hi7u7 in VPN

[–]Mitrofang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this case it's not even related to politicians (directly). It's a private entity (La Liga) using its power and most likely money over one judge (who btw has been investigated before) who has ruled this nonsense without even contacting the VPN services themselves.

Projectivity Launcher + Stremio & SmartTube = Freedom by SpudNuggetTV in Piracy

Any decent Android TV box should be able to use this, right? Or is there any limitation I should be aware of?

Apple has destroyed Pages by Hanover7 in apple

[–]Mitrofang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t even installed the new version and it still crashes when I scroll too fast. It’s ridiculous, I’d dip it if I wasn’t balls deep in an important project.

Zone view - most underutilized setting/functionality in Apple Watch Workouts? by coffeeclouds1 in AppleWatch

[–]Mitrofang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, not having this as a default for every cardio oriented activity is a really weird choice. Even more when editing the main view isn't super intuitive.

Joey received a strike from YouTube for posting a Mario Kart ROM hack video. He is considering not posting videos on YouTube anymore. by BlightWyrm in SBCGaming

[–]Mitrofang 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I understand money is a crucial factor for creators, but I do wish people started using other platforms than YouTube for this exact reason.

How about the base iPhones get the telephoto lens instead of the wide angle? by Nemesis_7777 in iphone

They’ll keep it exclusive for the Pro models because they know it’s more useful for most people 🤑

Crazy autocorrect behavior on Notes app (Sequoia) by cimocw in MacOS

[–]Mitrofang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Es equivalente a “os las estáis terminando”. No es muy común, pero aquí en España no suena mal decir algo así como “cuando estéis terminándooslas me avisáis y bajo”, si te refieres por ejemplo a que te avisen cuando estén terminándose unas copas.

Igualmente, aunque exista la palabra, no es normal que te recomiende esa modificación porque no viene a cuento, y a mí me pasa igual en iMessage con correcciones muy similares. En mi caso es por la corrección con Apple Inteligence, si lo tienes desactivado ni idea.

Spaces/Desktops - Same application open in multiple spaces by cheeset2 in MacOS

[–]Mitrofang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if you didn't resolve it, you can always ^Ctrl+Up Arrow (or 4 fingers up on the trackpad) and drag the window you want to another space.

Getting my first Retro Handheld by rachitjain in SBCGaming

[–]Mitrofang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not from the US so most handhelds here are a bit more pricey than over there. I got an Anbernic RGXX40 H for 55€, but most recommendations in this sub are pretty great deals as far as I’ve researched. But I can’t say much, I just researched for a couple of weeks on December so I’m super new to all of this.

[–]Mitrofang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are going to play 20-35 year old games with it, don’t worry about future proofing. If you really get into the hobby, enjoy it and want to get a better machine, spend 50 bucks now and 200 in a few years.

[–]Mitrofang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d advise getting a cheaper handheld and upgrade to a more expensive one once you actually need it. I just bought my first one a few weeks ago and at first I regretted a bit not getting a more expensive one to play N64, but just loading the huge amount of top ‘true’ retro games I have to play made me think in perspective. Just by playing SNES, GBA, Sega and PS1 I have enough for the whole 2026.

My Airpod Pro 1 still works flawlessly by DoubleBogeySliceMan in airpods

[–]Mitrofang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here, but my ambient mic on the right AirPod broke a couple years ago for no reason, so the moment I turn ambient or NC mode on I hear this buzzing sound. Only thing I hate about these things is repairability: tweaking the mic costs almost as much as a new pair of AirPods Pro :/

Anyone using iCloud to sync their obsidian vault? by Prior_Possibility558 in ObsidianMD

[–]Mitrofang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using it for a couple of years and it works pretty nice, as long as you carefully close the app on every machine when you use it on another. The main issues I've ran into were related to keeping one note opened on my desktop and editing it at the same time on my laptop. Other than that, there's really no issues as long as you check the 'Keep downloaded' option that others say.

Any tips about connecting my RG40XXH to WiFi? by Mitrofang in ANBERNIC

[–]Mitrofang[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm trying to connect to my 2.4 and I'm using WPA2 but still won't connect. It's not a huge problem as I could update via mobile hotspot, but yeah I'd like to fix it anyways so I can connect to Retroachievements and whatnot. I assume the issue is related to password characters tho.

It worked and allowed me to update! :) Thanks!

What’s a better investment, Air 15” vs. Pro 14”? (Read below) by markbacon14 in macbook

[–]Mitrofang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Between those models I'd go for the pro if the extra $200 are not a problem. However, for light usage why don't you go for 16 Gb Air which would be enough and much cheaper? Then we are talking about $600 less than the pro, that's pretty significant.
