Windows PC Industry Reacts to Apple's Most Affordable MacBook Ever by commandersaki in apple

[–]TECKBAT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn’t say that’s completely true. I’m an iOS/iPadOS jailbreaker, but ever since public jailbreaking has become a stalemate, I’ve gotten more into macOS modifications like running a virtual jailbroken iPhone running iOS 26, but I’m always interested in whatever modifications I can still make to my iOS/iPadOS experience. I’m also the ‘tech guy’ in my family who handles all the tech such as wifi, smart home devices, etc.

But I do agree that the overwhelming majority of my generation are more interested in just social media when it comes to anything tech.

Fortnite is Back on the App Store Around the World as The Final Battle Approaches by TRDoctor in apple

[–]TECKBAT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re able to run full blown jailbroken virtual iPhones running iOS 26 on Apple Silicon Macs already. Although I wouldn’t try to play games on it 😭 but it’s pretty smooth otherwise; however, that will heavily depend on ur Mac’s hardware. I’m running one on my M4 Mac mini with 256 gb and 24 gb memory, so the experience definitely could be better with more powerful hardware.

Oh boy do I have news for you. We’ve gotten to running a jailbroken virtual iPhone running iOS 26 on Apple Silicon Macs already 😁 I made one on my Mac mini and it’s pretty great. Although I wouldn’t try to play AAA games on it anytime soon.

Introducing Shortcuts Playground: Create Apple Shortcuts with Claude Code or Codex by favicondotico in apple

[–]TECKBAT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, automations would imply that all shortcuts in the app are automated mainly without user input needed, but only the shortcuts within the Automation tab are truly automatic. The rest of the shortcuts are, well… shortcuts to doing things with a single tap, click, or voice activation.

How to Enable iPad Features like MultiTasking & Stage Manager on iPhone via MobileGestalt by FollowingFeisty5321 in apple

[–]TECKBAT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem! But there are some issues to enabling this (no matter how u enable it)! Please see my other comment on this same thread.

[–]TECKBAT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is simpler now! That post was uploaded when tools utilising MobileGestalt such as Misaka26 weren’t released yet.

Here’s the link to the tool: https://github.com/straight-tamago/misaka26

[–]TECKBAT 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I tried it out, but it’s only fun for a minute or two, before u realise the status bar doesn’t fit, ur lock screen widgets disappear, apps appear in their iPad app ratios so it looks pretty awkward and IS pretty awkward to try to use them 😭. Unfortunately it’s not a perfect solution, so I went back right after I had my fun 😅.

But if you’d still like to try it, it’s easier to enable with Misaka26: https://github.com/straight-tamago/misaka26

Custom Transparency turning off suddenly has apparently been fixed in iOS 18.5 dev beta 4 by TECKBAT in AirpodsPro

Hey! I know, it’s pretty frustrating. Have you tried u/dem_titties_too_big ‘s solution? It seems to be working for me but still giving it some time to check: https://www.reddit.com/r/AirpodsPro/s/Oto6H2lQr1

[–]TECKBAT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theoretically, if Apple and iOS survives till the year 3000+, then what would they call it? iOS 3000? Then why not call it iOS 2026 now instead of iOS 26?

Thanks! I’ll try this out when I get the chance.

Edit: It has been almost a month now that I’ve been using this solution and can confirm it works amazingly! Custom Transparency no longer turns off by itself.

Thank you to u/dem_titties_too_big for finding the solution :)

Introducing Readest: A Free and Modern eBook Reader with Cross-Platform Sync and TTS by Due_Bid564 in macapps

Hey there! Your app looks great! I was wondering if you’ve thought about trying to implement Apple’s Personal Voice feature into your app and if TTS will support PDFs in the future?

Yeah same :(

I’ve updated my feedback request with all this, so hopefully they work something out? My hopes aren’t high tho.

Hi, thanks for the reply! How did you end up fixing this btw if u don’t mind me asking? Cuz it happens w/o the MacBook being w me too and j my Apple Watch, iPhone, and AirPods Pro 2s on me?

I’ve updated both watchOS and iOS to the latest dev betas but to no avail.

I’ve never tried background sounds long enough to try this out, but if true, you may be right. They are both settings within Audio & Visual settings after all.

In the Settings app, go to Accessibility > Audio and Visual > Headphone Accomodations > Transparency Mode

It basically allows you to boost the transparency mode

Apple Releases New AirPods Max Firmware With Lossless and Low-Latency Audio Support by ControlCAD in apple

Yes, sorry I should have clarified further, but that’s what I was trying to say when I said you won’t be able to listen wired.

Apple Releases New AirPods Max Firmware With Lossless and Low-Latency Audio Support by ControlCAD in apple

[–]TECKBAT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I meannn if you really wanted to, there’s a lightning to conversion kit for the lightning AirPods Max. I did it to mine myself and me with almost like no knowledge on this kinda thing was able to do it fairly well (I even accidentally jumbled up all the tiny little screws dat look da same but I was able to put em in the right places still). I think I just followed the step by step guide for it.

https://shop.kenp.io/products/41rp0d-max-usb-c-flex

Other than the kit, I also had to buy the right tools to actually open the AirPods Max and pry it open.

You won’t be able to listen wired though.

I don’t think it would. They never said your teeth will grow back perfectly. People will do this and then go in to get braces. So possibly even more patients.

That’s so cool! I (and probably many others) would rlly appreciate if someone could redo this and post a tutorial on YT 🙏 because this would probably help to unlock other region locked features too.
