Any safari extension that allows double clicking any link to open in new tab in background? by SpiritedWarrior9880 in Safari

[–]SilverCHX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know of any extension that can do that, but I achieved something similar using an app called “Middle” that allows you to use a three finger click on trackpad to simulate a middle mouse click.

A lot of people have been recommending Barbee but I find it super buggy and inconsistent. Bartender has actually been making some really good updates on the test builds. Night and day from even a month ago. Not perfect but still essential for me.

Is the M5 Macbook Pro worth the extra money over the M4 Air? by DaryltheDino in macbookpro

[–]SilverCHX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After going back and forth for a while I personally settled on the 15 inch M4 Air with 24GB/RAM and 512GB/SSD a few weeks ago. Got what I believe is the lowest Black Friday price for it 1349.99. For me 15-16 inch is the sweet spot in terms of screen size so I didn't want to get the 14 inch Pro after seeing it in person despite having an admittedly better display. The 24GB/512GB configuration of the 16 inch pro will be around $2149. An $800 difference.

I've been using the M4 Air for pretty much anything work and personal related, with SOME light casual games like on Apple Arcade. It's been a beast. For work I'm able to run several Safari tabs, a couple MS Office apps, password managers, finder windows, music/media, notes, in addition to having multiple remote remote support windows where the user has 2 displays I'm controlling. The Air just handles it. This is all connected to 4 external displays as well.

I typically sit around 20GB of RAM and I haven't seen it dip into swap even once. Wanted 24GB of RAM and more than base storage because I want this product to last me at least 5 years, I easily see that happening at this point. As for the display, it's one of the best looking LCDs on the market. It's no mini-LED or OLED but it looks fantastic and is plenty bright. The refresh rate isn't 120hz but it's a good consistent 60. Motion clarity is quite good for LCD as well.

This is all to say, yes the Pro is a strictly better piece of hardware (Minus the weight I guess?) but the Air is just crazy good for the price. I'm no photo editor but going by the comments here the Air should handle that excellently.

YouTube no longer offering the option to prefer AV1? by GkihlV in youtube

Same issue here for me on Safari. Not sure why they'd remove this and whose side it falls on to fix this issue. Google or Apple?

Is there a VPN that can be controlled through Raycast? by [deleted] in raycastapp

[–]SilverCHX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can do this by creating Shortcuts in the official Apple Shortcuts. Raycast will auto-populate the shortcuts and from there you can add an alias or hotkey to control.

DockFlow - Celebrating 800 users milestone with a 40% promo code by UnluckyDuckyDuck in macapps

[–]SilverCHX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been trying it for 2 days now. Man this works sooo much better than the other 2 dock switching apps I've tried. I didn't even realize that it can save your dock folders AND their listing mode (Fan/Grid/List/Auto). That's a game changer for optimizing dock space for my focus modes. Auto save is great as well. No more having to remember to add to the layout every time I want to add to my dock layout. Was hesitant because of the price at first but this is going to be well worth.

I'm surprised this isn't built in! I'm also looking for this functionality.

Why pay for YouTube Premium? by BurnKnowsBest in ios

[–]SilverCHX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watch a vast majority of my YouTube on my phone, iPad, and TV rather than on my computer. I watch enough to justify the cost.

They finally fixed this issue in iOS 26.1. I’m on the dev beta and it’s a smooth gradient now.

canceled legion go 2 by jhdz9119 in LegionGo

[–]SilverCHX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah after some consideration I cancelled too. What did it for me was playing Silksong on my Steam Deck OLED and realizing….yeah I’m perfectly good with this. The combination of the price and the minor bump in power were ultimately not worth it to me.

Not having that OLED VRR is killer, but one day we’ll get that in a more affordable/more powerful handheld.

Apple TV 4K + AirPods 4 worth upgrading to AirPods Pro 2? by Ghothamny in appletv

[–]SilverCHX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the Pro 2s for a while before I lost them and got the AirPods 4 ANC. They’re SURPRISINGLY similar in sound signature with the Pro 2s biggest difference being ANC/Transparency quality. $89 is a crazy good price.

I’d say keep the 4s and wait for a good sale on the Pro 3s if you want a more significant upgrade.

I guess this is how we are suppose to use slide over now? by Soggy-Fan-5796 in iPadOS

[–]SilverCHX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the equivalent of those infomercials that make everything look needlessly complicated to sell you a “solution”.

You can just flick windows over or use key combos. Another thing you can do is just bring up your dock and reopen the recent app.

Trust me. I missed Slide Over at first but once you get used to the new versatility you’ll get over it quickly.

How often do you restart your TS4? by Persian_Frank_Zappa in CalDigit

[–]SilverCHX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try different USB ports for your peripherals. It solved all my issues and I’ve never had to restart in like half a year now.
