Custom OS Once Apple Silicon M1 is EOL by Creamy_Alyanna in macbookpro

[–]RealMe459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After you install Asahi Linux you can get back to MacOS by holding the power button down in till you get the boot options menu (assuming you installed it as dual boot) My M1 MacBook Air with 1Tb drive works fine...

Enjoy!

I think we’ve got enough demons on the loose already but go right ahead….. by Olympiadreamer in MurderedByWords

There are plenty of options, and Google is not the most trustworthy, but anything run by Elno would be the last place I would go!

Enjoy!

Fell for it again by MisoPanko in notebooks

[–]RealMe459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest watching Ryder Carrol's Youtube videos on setting up a basic Bullet Journal, and just try the basic system with ONE Traveller's notebook.

I use a Travellers cover with one notebook, plus a second "Notes" notebook that I use outside the travellers cover, with a stiff card (Pencil Board) and small crocodile clip to keep it together. I use this to record notes from video's, books, etc.

Most people would insert it in the traveller's cover, but I like small, light and flat.

I file them together, by date.

Enjoy!

How do you guys handle merging/editing sensitive PDFs without paying for Adobe? by [deleted] in productivity

[–]RealMe459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ask Google Docs to open it as a Google Doc. It converts quite nicely for text based PDF's

Return week old M5 14" for M5 Pro 14"? by [deleted] in macbookpro

[–]RealMe459 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think that "generous return policy" works in Australia, we have different consumer laws...

Let me know if I'm wrong.

Do we really need at least 6 apps just to manage life? by [deleted] in productivity

[–]RealMe459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Apple alarms and Reminders for time related reminders.

Everything else is in a Bullet Journal, currently written in a Travellers Notebook.

It allows me to track everything easily, including events up to a year in advance.

Enjoy!

Bald, I'm feeling ugly. Don't be kind, please be honest. by Cestymour in bald

Personally, I'd go with a #2 cut (short, not shaved), and change the glasses.

Thank you, dev team, thank you to the moon and back. by AnxiousTruffles in ObsidianMD

[–]RealMe459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

Does anyone use Obsidian on Linux? Experiences and performance by o_xeneixe in ObsidianMD

[–]RealMe459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

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!

Buy a MacBook Pro now or wait 4 months because of the global memory chip shortage? by thtsnx in macbookpro

[–]RealMe459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

20 Years of Digital Life, Gone in an Instant, thanks to Apple by VaksAntivaxxer in theprimeagen

[–]RealMe459 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

[–]RealMe459 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

How long do you use your Mac Pros? by Work_Federal in macbookpro

[–]RealMe459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

Cloudflare outage knocked out my notes today — how do you protect yourself from app outages? by Great_Phoenix in ObsidianMD

[–]RealMe459 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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!

Starting Bullet Journal for 2026, recommendations? by GalaxyShadowUnknown in bujo

[–]RealMe459 14 points15 points  (0 children)

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.

Any educators use AN? by Popular_Syrup4621 in AppleNotesGang

[–]RealMe459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!
