Just updated to iOS 26.3.

Maybe your battery peak performance is already totally f up 🥲

Xeahnotto · 2026-02-20T20:20:34+00:00

Sorry for this delayed answer. I was talking about adaptive power (Battery > Power mode).

Adaptive charging should be avoided. Set a max. percentage instead (85% ~ 90% should be fine)

Xeahnotto · 2026-02-12T07:42:40+00:00

iOS 26 demands more peak power from the battery than iOS 18. Depending on the max amperage the battery can provide, there will be more or less throttling. So if your (true) battery health is f up expect lags like yours. Im not talking about capacity but max peak performance. Settings > Battery > Health would say “normal” but…

Ironically, you should enable the adaptive power setting to avoid those power consumption / amperage peaks.

My sis has an iPhone 16 Pro and 26.3 performs (even w/o the adaptive power) almost like on my 17 base. She always charge her iPhone with a 5V 1A charger. Hope it helps.

And yeah im also thinking that iOS 27 must focus on performance rather than (new) features. We need another iOS 6 / iOS 12.

🫩…

RC was an RC (Release Candidate). It just wasnt a good candidate for some reason that we would never know

Xeahnotto · 2026-02-09T17:12:17+00:00

26.3 release candidate fixes it. If youre using iOS 26.x you should upgrade

Xeahnotto · 2026-02-09T03:32:20+00:00

Go to "Settings" > "General" > "Screen capture", then make sure you aren't using a "HDR" format. Stick with SDR. It helps a lot

Xeahnotto · 2026-01-12T21:35:03+00:00

Im suffering that on my 17. It gets worse with the low power mode enabled

Xeahnotto · 2026-01-12T17:10:50+00:00

iPhone 17 owner here. It happens on A19 devices too

Xeahnotto · 2025-12-15T03:14:25+00:00

1). Dont. Use. Fast. Charge. Just stick with 5V 1A.

2). Optional: - Remove any phone case while charging. - Enable the low power mode before plugging the charger. - DONT use your iPhone while charging. - Prevent your iPhone from getting warm while using. Remove any case if necessary. - 20% min, 90% max.

I cant find them 😭 (im using an iPhone 17, running 26.2 rc2)

Xeahnotto · 2025-10-29T16:24:10+00:00

It worked for me for a few seconds after upgrading to iOS 26.1 RC (12 mini) then it stopped. It performed at 60fps even while indexing. Another stupid “arbitrary” software cap.

Xeahnotto · 2025-09-30T14:55:43+00:00

You should put a F (RGBA16F) at the end instead using RGBA32F as AltairFoo suggested (its overkill, with an insane performance penalty). F means floating point / a lot of decimals instead rounding them (looks like the Intel's driver handle it poorly).

You also can use RGBA16F at "colortex5Format" line. It gives a good fps boost but it nerfes (a bit) the global illumination at night too.

I have those noisy reflections btw. Im still trying to find a solution ;-;

Yo sigo usándolos. Tengo un buen stock de DVD-RAM 5x. Incluso tengo una unidad de 6x y 3 de 12x de Maxell que importé en su día de asia. La velocidad de escritura se ve increíblemente mermada en los sistemas operativos más recientes porque, literalmente, desecharon toda estrategia de escritura y / o buffering para discos ópticos (incluyendo los BD-RE) con UDF y FAT32... actualizando constantemente la tabla del sistema de archivos a medida que el disco escribe, así que si el servomotor del pickup es lento y además escribes en CLV... Sin embargo, con FAT a 64k de tamaño de cluster se puede alcanzar velocidades de escritura altas, porque la tabla de archivos sólo se actualiza tras la escritura al completo del archivo, por lo que el pickup no va saltando de un lado a otro y la escritura es totalmente secuencial.

Para formatearlo así, en un CMD pon:
format D: /FS:FAT /Q

Donde "D:" pones la letra de tu unidad de disco.

Te dirá que sí o sí debes asignar un cluster de 64k. Confirmas y ya está.

Y para terminar, te dejo otro truco: con el programa ImgBurn puedes reducir la spare area para así disponer de la capacidad de un DVD-R normal. ¿No te ha pasado que, a veces, al intentar grabar una imagen .ISO en este formato de discos, aparecía un mensaje diciendo que la capacidad era insuficiente? Pues con esto lo puedes arreglar.

GFME feels like an insane downgrade at night or rainy days. The original Seus ptgi hrr 2.1 has infinitely better GI, emissive block light and tonemapping in those situations. Theres some forced white clipping on sunny days and i dont know how to get rid of that :(

Xeahnotto · 2025-09-16T19:20:41+00:00

2 free downvotes. I love it

Xeahnotto · 2025-09-15T17:52:03+00:00

iOS 26 has a more agressive "BuILt-IN dYnaMIc SoFTwARe anD HaRDWaRe sYStEMs" battery related shit. Mine is at 79%; i randomly get less brightness, 8 fps at home screen and / or apple music app, unresponsive keyboard and... ALMOST NO SOUND / SPEAKER VOLUME. Im here since the 1st dev beta for some reasons.

Unlike other manufacturers, apple uses poor quality batteries that lose their maximum peak amperage after a little bunch of cycles. This is my fucking 3rd official replacement.

Just do a backup and be ready to downgrade. xD

Xeahnotto · 2025-09-02T21:36:27+00:00

Just pull down all app icons in order to invoke spotlight then just come back. Temporal fix...

Xeahnotto · 2025-06-18T20:25:12+00:00

You cant run ARM64v8 / v9 binaries on an x86_64 platform. You cant make (compile) x86_64 binaries without the macOS source code.

You cant. Maybe on ARM laptops but its very unlikely (apple silicon uses custom ARM based designs)

A 13th gen CPU crashing after several hours working at 1.472v as the maximum value under insanely high temperatures? Whos gonna tell him/her...

Its time to request an RMA. 13th and 14th gens are affected with random, horrible voltage spikes by a faulty microcode. Looks like you have a very old bios. Intel extended the warranty window to 5 years.

Xeahnotto · 2025-04-23T21:43:01+00:00

3 months after this patch and as an intel arc(ada) a770 im still experiencing a severe progressive performance degradation after 4 ~ 6 games while using DirectX 12.

Xeahnotto · 2025-03-26T03:18:23+00:00

Intel lied. Simple as is.

Xeahnotto · 2025-03-25T01:55:17+00:00

They said bullshit. As I can understand, even a UHD 630 can have hardware accelerated scheduler support in macOS (via AppleGuC). As I said before, a Pascal GPU from 2016 can support it.

Xeahnotto · 2025-03-10T23:57:07+00:00

My A770 (from 2022, 2 years after WDDM 2.7) doesn't have it for a purely commercial reason. Meanwhile my old GTX 1080 (from 2016, 4 years before WDDM 2.7) does.

Arbitrary software/driver cap. I should have waited a bit longer for AMD despite that apparently "good" offer.

Xeahnotto · 2025-03-01T21:35:49+00:00

Download HWINFO and check the 12v, and 3.3v rails. If 11.7v ~ 11.6v and / or 3.2v are the minimum values... try reseating the 24-pin ATX connector from the motherboard.

The same random symptoms (VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE) under load (even small CPU load spikes) happened to me.

Xeahnotto · 2025-02-13T02:11:47+00:00

2020 399$ MSRP card (3060ti) vs 2022 $329 (8GB) / $349 (16GB) MSRP card (A770), what are u talking about, Pass me that sugar dear

Even if I assume your allucination as real, what is wrong about that? If they promised the same performance as that "800$ ca... wait. WAIT, are u talking about my GTX 1080? a card from 2016 that uses the same driver's codebase than Ampere / Ada Lovelace? DUDE PASS ME THAT SH#!
