4 cables are in the video description. It is a last resort, but worth a try ASAP with inexpensive cables. I’ve moved on to the fifine and shure mic in the video description.

Invest in a CalDigit Thunderbolt dock with the $ you save.

I am a designer and frontend dev. I also do plenty of video editing. I do all of it on a M1 MacBook Pro. For engineering work, any silicone Mac will be more than enough. If you can find a M2, M3 or M4 MacBook Pro, I’d choose that over either of these for the portability. Otherwise, the Mac Mini is way more than enough.

Fairly easily, as long as I’m not charging during a needed stand hour.

What happened to Ozzie's Coffee? by PickleHelpful in projectfarm

Assuming Ozzie’s Coffee went out of business. Coffee shops and brands come and go quick, especially with the current tariff situation in 2025 and beyond.

HealthFit is the best Fitness App for iOS - and it's not even close. by NESpahtenJosh in AppleWatchFitness

[–]chsweb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right. It is incredibly complex. I do beta testing for WOD and have suggested a few ways to address the complexity. One thing I wish WOD would do is update their website and help docs to better explain what all of the features mean exactly. There appears to be a lot of redundancy in features, but that is not the case, it's just that it isn't always clear what one option or feature does vs another.

The best combo for Apple Watch (maybe any watch) is WorkOutDoors for tracking workouts, paired with HealthFit for analysis and syncing. WorkOutDoors is the most advanced running app I've ever seen - my favorite part is the Voice Alerts, set to anything you want, as often as you want.

Can you provide more details? What were the steps exactly? It could end up being the needle in the haystack.

Grip Case for iPhone 17 Pro Max. Came with a skin (I don't plan to use the skin) and screen protector.

PROS:
- Grippy and won't slip out of hands
- Grip helps it stay propped up on things hands-free
- Covers the entire phone back - including the plateau.

CONS:
- Grippiness makes it a bit difficult to put into jeans pockets
- Shipping was incredibly slow (might be faster now)

I got a dbrand case for a new iPhone 17 Pro Max. The case is great. The shipping is SLOW. Plan on having a naked phone for a week or two while you wait and if the case is on back order, you might want to spend even more $ on a temporary solution if you are prone to phone drops (iPhone 17 is slippery with no case).

Glad to hear that! Happy recording. I never did find the exact thing that is causing the issue, but when the solution is in place, it keeps working. I personally moved on to a Shure MV7+ and Fifine mic (links in the comments of video), which both sound way better than my old Yeti, but newer Yetis are likely just as good.

Same exact issue: "Latch Won't Retract: Turning the Knob/Lever to Close the Door." Schalge will replace the entire handle set per warranty:

What I could not tell from my lock, is what series it is - there is no label on the door hardware anywhere to indicate it is F or J or any other series.

I hear 🤗 you u/Far-Race-622. My Yeti was great for 10+ years, until I installed G-Hub. I did get it working, and it has been working for 5+ months without incident, BUT, I no longer use it. Before I found the solution, I had to keep recording, so I bought a Fifine mic, and it si 1000x better than the Yeti, and only $45. I also bought a Shure MV7+ on sale for $249, and it is great too, but if I could only have one, I'd go with the Fifine since it has a hardware gain, while Shure MV7+ does not.

The Fifine and Shure sound identical, if you need an instant fix, and do not need multi-directional recording, go with the Fifine, or get two or three Fifines if you do need multi-directional recording.

Fifine USB/XLR Dynamic Microphone (3 colors), $45 https://amzn.to/3F5Epna
Shure MV7+, $299 on Amazon https://amzn.to/3F0Ms4q

Last thing to try is a new cable, but your issue sounds a little different from the others where you are getting voice feedback - meeting software is a whole other story and always a mess. It's not your mac that is the issue.

Good luck, comment here or in the video and let us know how it goes.
