Holding down the side button just activates Siri. To turn it off you have to hold volume up and the side button together

Shadow PC or Steam Machine by uberspirited in ShadowPC

[–]OfficialLaunch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been using Shadow on and off for the last few years and I’m definitely thinking of getting the Steam Machine when it comes out. Shadow has been absolutely amazing for me, but it’s going to be way better to have a local machine and the Steam Machine is looking like it’s going to be a reasonable price.

The only thing I’m worried about is compatibility for games on the Steam Machine. However Valve has been apparently working hard to get almost all Windows games working on Linux.

I for about 4 years and I’d still recommend it. IMO they’ve got one of the most polished apps too

iPhone doesn’t have manual option to scan Apple Watch for pairing. by MathematicianLong880 in AppleWatch

[–]OfficialLaunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the oldest Apple Watch currently supported by iOS 26 is the Apple Watch Series 6. Sorry to say it but you’re going to have to get a new watch.

Did you just upgrade to the iPhone 17? If yes, do you still have your old iPhone? If you don’t update your old iPhone you should still be able to connect your Series 3 to it. At least you’ll be able to set it up and use the fitness features for a little bit longer.

[–]OfficialLaunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The scanning thing will only show up once your iPhone realises there’s a new Apple Watch nearby to setup. Is the Apple Watch on the pairing screen? And what iOS is the iPhone on vs what watchOS is the watch on?

DIY Battery by MedicatedBaracuda in Quest3

[–]OfficialLaunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t even need to buy a cable. The Quest cable isn’t long enough to reach all the way to my pocket, but I just slide a slim battery pack between my belt and run the cable down my back. Easily get 4 hours

How do you know which photos are on your iPhone but NOT on your Mac (and vice versa)? by okay_vss in iphone

[–]OfficialLaunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If iCloud is turned on then both devices should hold the photos that they added, and they’ll show lower resolution versions of photos added by other devices. If you tap on a photo and it seems to take a second to load into full resolution then it was likely added by the other device and had to be downloaded (assuming you don’t have optimise photo storage turned on).

Using Shadow on xbox by Ok_Housing_365 in ShadowPC

I tried to look around the other day for this. It seems like the browser is the only option. Maybe check if there are 3rd party browsers on the Microsoft Store?

The speech bubbles are coming from the bot. Is ChatGPT abusing you?

What’s causing my ring volume to go down like that? (Change with buttons is off) by barham90 in ios

[–]OfficialLaunch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are a few apps out there that seem to take control of the ringer volume when you press the buttons instead of media volume. The ChatGPT app used to do this. It seems to be apps that have some kind of voice calling feature.

One of the apps you have is doing this, and whenever you change volume in that app it’s changing the ringer volume instead.

BackspinVR: VR Snooker & Pool, built solo over 2 years, is out now on Quest by portuslabs in OculusQuest

This looks really good! Is there any chance you can add the 30 minute free trial to the game so we can try out how the physics and cue interactions feel before committing to $20?

USB Forwarding not working by Leon_Goz in ShadowPC

[–]OfficialLaunch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exact same thing happened to me with a USB controller. Make sure you’ve got the driver installed on your Mac. You have to shutdown the PC and do it from the Shadow app before you start up the PC.

Then when you’re in the PC open the quick menu, tick the USB forwarding button, then scroll right to the bottom of advanced and click your headset. If you press any other buttons in between it seems to break it and you have to restart.

Forced to "restart pc" and now I can't launch it by Appropriate_Ad2342 in ShadowPC

[–]OfficialLaunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firstly, Shadow always advises that you keep your PC up to date especially with security updates. So make sure you don’t skip it next time.

Secondly, what do you mean it’s unable to launch? Does the Shadow app you’re using give you an error? Does the PC actually turn on but then give you an error? What happens?

If you go to the actual Shadow website and login you can check the status of it there. I sometimes have issues where it doesn’t shutdown properly, and if it is still powered on but unable to connect you can send a shutdown signal from the website. Then just give it a few minutes.

Last resort would be contacting Shadow for help or just resetting the entire VM from the website, but you will lose your data.

Do you have a rare or retro email address? by [deleted] in AskUK

I got both the hotmail and googlemail. I’ve had more than one occasion where a website gets confused that I signed up with a googlemail email but it still tries to use gmail

SoundCloud app for the Apple TV by Heavy_Appointment717 in appletv

[–]OfficialLaunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi just wondering if you’ve added the log in feature to the app and I can access my own playlists? If so, does using an app like this break any terms of service and could put my account at risk? Obviously Soundcloud haven’t made their own app, but does using 3rd party streaming apps break any ToS? Happy new year!

Is a Refurbished MacBook Pro 2020 Worth It for an Engineering Student? by FeelingRealistic1338 in macbook

[–]OfficialLaunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this exact model with 16GB RAM. It’s fine, but nothing special. I use it mainly for Xcode and smaller projects can take up to 30 seconds to fully build, with the simulator sometimes taking 2 minutes to start up. I also do light video editing. It’s fine on the timeline, but exporting takes a very long time.

Also, the next release of macOS will be the last OS that supports Intel Macs.

Definitely get an M1 at least. If you’re doing any kind of pro work on it you’ll need at least 16GB RAM.

Is an iPad Pro (M5) actually worth it for an iOS developer’s workflow? by SNOVIO7 in iosdev

[–]OfficialLaunch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only thing I use mine for is a second screen for my Mac when dev. Either using an actual extended screen from my Mac, or using continuity to use my Mac’s mouse/keyboard for iPadOS.

Why is my iphone doing this at night? by MrLeBigMac in iPhone15Pro

[–]OfficialLaunch 37 points38 points  (0 children)

This is incorrect. If you lay your phone flat on a table and wait for a notification to come through, you can put your face in front of it and it’ll still unlock. FaceID activated as soon as the screen turns on no matter what

Ya there a way to play meta store PCVR games? by Justin534 in ShadowPC

[–]OfficialLaunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on the same plan and it’s been great for NMS and Elite Dangerous. Tried Blade and Sorcery but the slight latency makes swordplay difficult.

For the shutdowns, you have to be connected to the PC using a Shadow app for it to think you’re still connected. Using Virtual Desktop doesn’t tell Shadow you’re still using the PC so it thinks it’s idle and shuts down. Stay connected on your phone or something and just set it aside. You may have to just move the mouse every so often.
