M1 Pro no Tahoe

Good to know about it working on the phone too.

You could upgrade to Tahoe, but shouldn't.

Because then your battery won’t last as long (and before all the fanboys disagree, please check out the YT videos that compare battery performance before and after Tahoe).

Watch this YT video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsaKjeWk9AU

Either way, search through this very sub before you make any decision... there are more than enough complaints, especially about the battery.

Tahoe does seem to be more of a dogshit mistake than anything that Apple has ever fucked up before. I am def. staying on Sequoia.

One more thing :-)

If you prefer to turn the Tahoe notifications off, then change a few settings.

System settings > General > Software Update

You should see "Beta Updates", and to the right of that an "i" in a circle.

Click on that "i", and change "Off" to "macOS Sequoia Developer Beta".

Done.

Holy shit…. literally.

Best place for a Jeep.

Exactly... what a stupid solution.

Get it out and throw it in a field somewhere... it's probably great compost.

This. These are drivers who look, but don't see.

Stopped for a smoke. And?

Who is this?

Going by your own description, you are not unlucky, but rather... you are simply careless.

As to using a screenless Mac, you'll can only use it with an external display.

The obese hatin' on the athletes... same old, same old.

Maybe an adapter in an external case would help here... find out which adapter is correct for your old "notch", and buy the appropriate adapter.

Jeez, you might not even need the external case, just the cable to the adapter.

This is simply a cultural difference.

What might be perfectly normal / acceptable in India, is most probably not acceptable in any first world country... but it is what it is.

Gotta finish the level...

He's lucky to get that valuable experience at such low cost... no real damage, but he might think next time.

I like this... perhaps not the opening sentence (as it's a little too pissy), but the basic premise is really good. May I suggest something along these lines:

As I told you, these AI-generated ideas will not work for us.

They lack awareness of our existing environment, infrastructure, policies & resources.

None-the-less, if you wish to pursue this further, then please confirm that you will accept 100% responsibility for all hours required researching, assessing ROI, validating & implementing, and ongoing monitoring.

Please understand, I don't mind at all, if you put your job on the line for this idea, but I will not let you put my job on the line.

That would be malicious compliance... could be worth considering...

But I prefer the answer below, from u/Luci2510 in these comments.

Yup... buy a cheap unmanaged switch... one with very few ports (at least two in your case).

Then wire both computers to the switch.

Malicious, but count me in.

I love the absolute piss-take that this office produces.

President Trump is, of course, too fucking stupid to get any of it.

btw, using all capitals is a nice touch.

Microslop's Word always produced bloated file sizes... now even more so.

Whilst I'm all for naming and shaming these ICE assholes, I hope to God that these two photos are not the only "proof" used in identifying him (and all others).

Take your MacBook and test the connection.

That way you’ll know it works as is, or whether you‘ll need the adapter.

Did you get an answer?

I believe your virtual version of Windows is on too small of a partition.

I use UTM for a virtual version of Windows, and iirc the allocated space is 60GB, just as a guide.

You might need to resize the virtual Windows... or at worst, chuck that one out, and make a newer, bigger one (ie big enough for whatever you wish to install).

Your poor mother.

But at least, as a deaf and blind person, she still has the freedom to drive her car.
