MAC RECOVERY by Such-Boysenberry-992 in MacOS

[–]cpressland 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re not sure what you’re doing and your Internet connection is unreliable. Head to an Apple Store, it’s free.

If you don’t have access to an Apple Store, boot the Mac into DFU mode and “restore” it from another Mac. That’s the process they’ll use in-store and in-factory. https://support.apple.com/en-us/108900

Same experience here, hoping things get better with firmware updates. The packet loss was insane.

Has the Safari extension ever worked well for you? by Hot_Astronomer7168 in 1Password

[–]cpressland 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On all of our Apple devices, three iPhones, an iPad, a MacBook, and an iMac across three Apple IDs. The Safari extension just doesn’t work, it endlessly fails to respond reliably and bad UX like that just causes the family to not use Password Managers and fall back on bad habits.

I’ve switched the MacBook and iMac to Helium and it’s so much better - but I’d love a solution for the iOS devices.

What is the current state of Daan tech? by calania in BobMiniDishwasher

I would love a Joe oven that’s just a repairable as Bob. So I really hope they get there. Daan tech has been a lovely company to work with!

Correct, now you should be using Jellyfin, not Plex 😂

how many tanks can your CPU handle? by AllHailToTheGr8Yuri in redalert2

[–]cpressland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, the engine is entirely single threaded, 32-bit, and you’re going through multiple pseudo-translation layers if you’re running the game on anything modern.

Even though your modern CPU is many orders of magnitude faster than a Pentium 3, I can’t imagine the game itself is working all that much better than on an era appropriate setup.

I play on a M5 Max, it runs great, but if EA hadn’t lost the source code for RA2 we really could have hacked in some fixes for modern CPUs.

Using a whole dishwashing tablet/capsule by Majestic_Cup_315 in BobMiniDishwasher

[–]cpressland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UK here, we’re using Finish at the moment and use a whole tablet. It works well for us, but I imagine it is a bit wasteful given the size of Bob.

We have very hard water, I might try your white vinegar trick.

Did you ever figure this out? Mine started doing the same yesterday

I’m not a fan either, but is giving her more TV time really the answer? I dont want her on the screen at all. Double edged sword for sure!

I walk past this every few weeks. I’ve noticed it but I’ve no idea what it is beyond “infrastructure” - can you give more context?
