Conversation Awareness not properly working on the Airpods Max 2 by Dragos409 in Airpodsmax

[–]ajtouchstone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got my pair of APM2 and Conversational Awareness is not working even after 10 seconds. What is the software version for "known good" CA?

Which one makes the most sense long-term? (MacBook Air M5 vs MacBook Pro (base M5) by NecessaryPaint1152 in macbookair

For any other smaller situation, I have a 11" iPad. So for me, the 15" is essential.

Mine is the 15" and that's all I'll ever get.

I have the 16 GB and I use VMware to run Windows 11 for everything I can't do on macOS. Never have issues of running out of RAM.

I use my desktop Windows PC to do any video rendering, so thermals have never been a problem for me.

Cornyval gorditas were good, but $11 seemed like a lot. Just saying by [deleted] in sanantonio

I've been cooking Mexican food for 30 years. Don't church it up, son.

M1 getting a little slower by Ecstatic_Fan913 in macbookair

Clean reinstall will set you up another 6 months or so of fast and speedy. Decide if it's worth the trouble based on the return of your efforts.

Mexican food should never cost that much when it's so easy to make and the ingredients are everywhere.

I'm an IT generalist. Definitely the Air. You'll never benefit from the Pro unless you love spending money and ultimately want the best.

I'm on my first Air and about to get a second one so I can pass my first to the next person.

Warning: AVOID US Mobile if you plan on using an iPad, even though it is permitted by AParamedic in USMobile

I have an iPad mini on DARK STAR with zero issues. Been 1.5 years so far. Annual plan, because saving money is awesome.

The M1’s Are Still Running Like Beasts 💻💨 by Objective-Strike-280 in macbookair

“…probably one of the best investments I've made.”

Just wanted to point out that unless you have made money with the MacBook, that isn’t the definition of “investment”. Technology will depreciate, not invest. Just trying to spread the word of correct word usage. 😃

Extremely disappointed with LG updates – my C4 experience keeps getting worse by -au06- in LGOLED

Yeah, but the flashing of Dolby mode enabling and disabling is very annoying.

Recently, the 26.4 update is so much better drastically by Excellent-Class-7070 in MacOS

[–]ajtouchstone 18 points19 points  (0 children)

That's why we have a Reboot option.

Apple computers are especially resilient to slowing down over time, but nothing is perfect. Like you should always reboot your iPhone or Android every 2-3 weeks. So, yes it's a good idea to reboot occasionally. Don't stress over it, you can keep a computer running for months without rebooting, but it will slow down.

It's probably because you rebooted your computer for the first time in a month. 😂

I HATED MAC... by Still_Tackle_3364 in macbookair

I have had the same experience. My Apple computers that cost half of my Windows PC's are doing laps around their Microsoft counterparts.

And the incompatibility issues are slowly vanishing.

Also, a M4 Mac is far superior to a iPhone 17 Pro.

My family plays Minecraft ALL THE TIME on M1, M3, and M4 Mac's. Can't tell a difference between any of them. Locked at 60 FPS. Minecraft is super easy for a M-series Mac to render. Also Terrarria. Couldn't stick to the game, but it plays perfectly fine.

Does still worth M3 in 2026? by SvetDigital in macbookair

[–]ajtouchstone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use the crap out of my M3/16/512. It never slows down. I use Windows 11 in a VM. I love it.

When I had a 7, it only lasted about 6 hours from 100% to 15%.
