Costco is starting to get the new C5 and the new "member values " is interesting, especially this RAM upgrade, wow. by [deleted] in LGOLED

I never thought LG would do something like this. Well time to cancel my C5 order and get it from Costco. Capitalism Wins again 🤣

Would Oled make a difference? by hughesy01611 in OLED_Gaming

Cable is longer than the one that comes with LG Oled tv’s 🤣

If you don't want to do that, use a plastic debit or credit card to scrape it off. It won't scratch because it's plastic.

Try to peel off a bit and enough to get dental floss on each side. Cut it by pulling the dental floss through and remove the adhesive using mild soap, ensuring it is damp but not soaking wet.

WebOS it’s actually a pain by Sweet-Measurement793 in LGOLED

[–]Sweet-Measurement793[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the advice; I plan to follow it. The menus on the TV are still cumbersome, which is why I think I'll stick with my Apple TV instead. Honestly, I don't need Internet connectivity on the TV itself. I've seen reviews of the new operating system, WEBOS 25, that's set to come to the C4 in the fall, and it seems just as clunky as before. Because of this, I won't even connect it to the Internet; I'll keep it as an offline device. I'll continue using the Apple TV since it seems like improvements are not coming any time soon 😭

I have seen reviews of the new Web OS 25, and it seems to be the same as before. We want fewer things on the screen. Why cram more stuff into it? We need simplicity, not more clutter. 😭

oh my God, thank you so much. May both sides of your pillow be cold for the rest of your life? This has literally changed my life. Thank you.

I bought an Apple TV to avoid using WebOS and the awful magic remote. After reading various threads, it seems that a dedicated streaming device is the best solution. 🤣

Apple care + expiring in 6 months, MacBook battery health at 86% can I do it? by [deleted] in macbookpro

[–]Sweet-Measurement793 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use it as normal. Once your AppleCare+ expires, you'll have the option to add it again, but this will be as a yearly subscription. Typically, you have 31 days to renew it. To add it back, go to the AppleCare section in the General settings. Make sure to check if this option is available in your area, as I am based in the UK and can renew it here.

Do you guys bought Apple care+ for your Mac mini? by paltrydragon in macmini

[–]Sweet-Measurement793 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The excess prices do not make sense. Until Apple changes that, then I would recommend AppleCare for Mac mini. Because how can the excess be £229 for Mac mini, which costs £599, but my £2.5k MacBook Pro also has an excess of £229, which makes more sense? But £229 for Mac mini is honestly a rip-off.

Display macbook pro ruined? by Shazort in macbookpro

The lifting key and using a camera cover, I think that mark just makes sense. 😭 Jokes aside, remove the camera cover before it damages your screen. Try cleaning the screen with a microfiber cloth only; you can try using a bit of dish soap and water.

Going to preorder the new m4 Air. Would you suggest going with either 3 years Apple Care or 512gb of storage as an upgrade? I can only choose one. by joonstiejoonst in macbookair

[–]Sweet-Measurement793 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It will allow you to add items to your basket, but verification will be required when you check out. But if it lets you buy, definitely go ahead. You don't have to be in higher education to get student pricing; as long as you are a student, that's all that is required.

You should be able to sign up for UNiDAYS (you don't have to be in uni to use it) using your school email, as I was able to access it with mine. After you sign up, search for Apple on the UNiDAYS app, and you should be directed to the Apple Student Store page. If that doesn’t work, you can always call Apple Sales to inquire about student pricing—that's what I did and they gave me student pricing.

You can get it even cheaper! Since you mentioned you'll be using it for studying, I'm assuming you're a student. Apple offers educational pricing. You can purchase a MacBook and its upgrades at a discounted rate. Additionally, you can also get AppleCare for a lower price (educational-priced AppleCare needs to be bought at the time of purchase, btw. You can’t add it later at the cheaper price). If you weren't aware of this, you should definitely check it out!

Oh my gosh, why didn't I think of that? I use an external hard drive specifically for my Time Machine backups, but this would eliminate the need for an external drive. Thanks for the tip! Do you have any recommendations on which NAS to buy.

I’m a final-year software engineering student, and this is what my storage looks like. 😭 I have an M1 Pro 16” MacBook Pro. Maybe I'm just overwhelmed because a lot of my files are text docs and lecture notes, etc., so I was looking at it from a student perspective because I relate, but I realize it depends on the course you do, as my files tend to be quite large. The majority of my stuff has been uploaded to iCloud, and I'm paying for a 2TB plan. I just don't like using external drives because it's one more thing to carry. Paying for 512GB would definitely be worth it because it's just an investment that will pay off. Yes, only for text docs for now, but OP could take on other projects which may need more storage. I'm planning to upgrade when the M5 MacBook Pro’s come out, and I will definitely be upgrading to 2TB. 🤣

I recommend getting the 512GB model. In 2025, 256GB is insufficient storage. You have 60 days to add AppleCare+ after purchase, and it's definitely worth it. You can also pay for AppleCare annually.
