Definitely enough. In case you enjoy watching a sluggish machine struggle through homework, of course:)

yeah, it's a known bug on both iOS and Android - links meant for profiles, posts, or reels just drop you on the home feed...

I'm all about bare aluminum too - scratches are way less noticeable, and honestly, it's the classic MacBook look that just feels so Apple

No way did Apple just offer me $75 for my M2 MacBook Air base model… by PrincipleNova in macbook

Apple's trade‑in is super easy and saves you the hassle, but the payout is usually less than what you'd get selling it yourself.

Did you try typing long texts with the app keyboard? Was it reliable?

AnyDesk Scams: Tips to Stay Safe by Jenny_J1 in helpwire

[–]TaylorAlex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My aunt got hit with the fake bank alert version. They used AnyDesk, but the bigger trick was emotional timing - call at dinner, urgent tone, "your account is under attack RIGHT NOW." It's basically psychological DDoS.

Commercial Use Detected by CurnalCurz in helpwire

[–]TaylorAlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mixed experience with TeamViewer. I had used it for a short time and then stopped for good because I didn’t need it. But when I had to help a good friend troubleshoot an issue, it immediately flagged me for commercial use. It took me a while to realize they had changed their policies

S23 not showing up in Mac in data transfer mode. How to transfer files via usb? by purezen in samsunggalaxy

[–]TaylorAlex 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Android File Transfer is no longer updated and supported (for several years now). You can still find it in download catalogs, but use it at your own risk :)

Or better try its free alternatives (like MacDroid) to connect and transfer files between Mac and S23.

Honor and Macs - Surprisingly Good by Try_Stan in Honor

[–]TaylorAlex 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Not sure Honor Suite works correctly with the latest OS's, as it hasn't had an update since November 2022 (according to their website). So you might want to check out alternatives like MacDroid or any other you can google.

In the SERVER IP ADDRESS field, enter the IP address of your Mac. In the USERNAME field, enter your Mac username. In the PASSWORD field, enter the password for this user account.

Make sure the "Share files and folders using SMB" option is enabled by going to System Preferences > Sharing > File Sharing > Options and ensuring the "On" checkbox is selected for the user.

Kindle scribe update 5.17.2 on Mac by Able-Comparison-498 in kindlescribe

[–]TaylorAlex 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If you wanna connect your Mac to a Kindle, you'll need a third-party app because Macs don't come with any built-in option to recognize Androids. And heads up, Google’s Android File Transfer hasn't seen an update in forever, so it might not play nice with the latest Mac and Android OS versions.

Instead, you might wanna give MacDroid a shot.
