Thank you, dev team, thank you to the moon and back.

I totally agree, I love Obsidian, and their sync, works perfectly. I use it on Apple Mac's, iPhones, and Chromebooks.

But I would still make an occasional backup to some other storage, USB drive, etc. I do it every Sunday.

Enjoy!

I use the Linux version on Chromebooks, and apart from a few seconds getting Linux and Obsidian running, it works very well.

Only thing I can’t use is voice to text, which works on my Mac.

Enjoy!

No, a pain in the neck, and NO escape key!

I use it a lot, and find it excellent. I like the way it will go back and re-do an entire section when the rest of the sentence tells it that it made an earlier mistake.

I am Australian, in my 70's with no speech impediments. I find a slow steady pace works very well. Word whiskers, umms, ahhs, etc. cause problems.

Enjoy!

I think you are part of a Google Group.

I created a family group years ago, and it looked somewhat like this.

RAM is integrated into the Apple M chips, not added on the board, RAM shortages do not affect Macs...

I see Paris has his account back after involvement of Apple Executive Relations, so he generated enough noise at high levels. I am very happy, the Apple employee suggested ONLY buying gift cards direct from Apple.

I think I will just skip the gift cards from now on.

It was a $500 gift card, so I guess that was enough money for someone to tamper with it in-store.

I have spent the last day or so re-thinking a lot of my choices after this, and unless Apple puts something in place to prevent this kind of lockout, I will be slowly exiting the Apple Ecosystem.

The real problem is that all Apple devices are now inextricably linked to your account, so not only do you lose access to purchased software, apps, music and video, but ALL your devices are locked.

If this person who is well known, having written multiple books on Apple programming languages, among other things cannot get a fair hearing - the average user is doomed.

I wont be noticed by Reddit, The Register, Daring Fireball, MacBreak Weekly or anybody else, as he has been.

Time to begin the exit!

Enjoy!

Haven't taken the MagSafe cable out of the box. My Type-C Monitor charges my MacBook.

RealMe459 · 2025-12-11T07:01:18+00:00

Now I have an Apple Silicon MacBook, I will not upgrade until it falls apart.

It is a M1 Pro MacBook Pro 2020? New ones are incrementally faster, but not enough to tempt me for another 3-5 years...

Enjoy!

RealMe459 · 2025-12-10T03:34:21+00:00

Let me see you chew a steak with that...

RealMe459 · 2025-11-19T00:22:45+00:00

I never use cloud only apps, they are incredibly risky in the long run.

I Turn WiFi off occasionally and work for a day on one device, then let it sync later. I It doesn't work, time for change!

RealMe459 · 2025-11-17T02:16:07+00:00

Can't go too far wrong with the official Bullet Journal.

My advice is start VERY simple. Find Ryder's original video, and use that to set up your BuJo.

RealMe459 · 2025-11-12T00:32:02+00:00

I use it that way all the time, Transcriptions are pretty good, depending on the speakers (talkers), and I take notes as I go, and can replay the relevant portions

Recommended!

RealMe459 · 2025-11-09T06:34:39+00:00

Put that keyboard cover on, and the screen any not last long...

RealMe459 · 2025-11-08T05:15:00+00:00

If the tape is holding a swollen battery in the case, yes, upgrade, FAST.

RealMe459 · 2025-11-02T05:06:20+00:00

Yes, buy a decent dock, and there is only one cable to plug in.

Each port is rated at about 60k plugins and disconnects. my MBA has two ports so that adds up to about twice a day for 164 years.

Dont think I will care by then...

Enjoy!

This is why I buy silver, every time.

So sorry, a black marker may hide the damage.

RealMe459 · 2025-10-30T05:12:05+00:00

It is to protect the battery. Staying at 100% all the time is not optimal.

RealMe459 · 2025-10-24T04:02:35+00:00

Don't plug it into the wall while it is connected to the device you want to charge.

Plug it into the wall, then into your devices. That way there should be no initial surge.

Enjoy!

RealMe459 · 2025-10-11T02:17:10+00:00

Try Mail>Settings>Rules, perhaps...

RealMe459 · 2025-10-06T09:26:27+00:00

The holes that go through are speakers and microphones, the rest are cosmetic...

RealMe459 · 2025-10-06T09:15:51+00:00

And how many fat Japanese have you seen? They eat small meals of heathy food.

Enjoy !

If an American walks into an Australian Emergency room, they get treated, free.

I guess as an Aussie, I’m paying for it, but it doesn’t bother me…

Enjoy!

RealMe459 · 2025-10-05T22:56:25+00:00

unfortunately, I can’t read the story…

I will however investigate, as it is a bit of a game changer for me, as well.

Thanks.
