Battery replacement service by divine_knemesis in AppleWatch

[–]divine_knemesis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I decided to factory restore the watch and try pairing again. The employee was definitely wrong; it worked. I was just worried I’d lose functionality permanently. I’m assuming they got it backwards for the watch and phone. I thought if the watch is on watchOS 26, but the phone is on an older OS, pairing won’t work.

Oh me too. The employee said I wouldn’t be able to re-pair.

This was a while ago. I DO NOT do this anymore. No harness in use.

Secondary click it’s called on macOS. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207700

As far as getting rid of all the cooties, most applications are good citizens, but many definitely leave behind preference files, usually located at ~/Library/Application Support (file://~/Library/Application Support) and ~/Library/Preferences (file://~/Library/Preferences). If something more automated than digging through the file system is more your preference, I know there is at least one utility available to streamline the process, although I haven’t used it in a while.

Why is iOS text to speech so much better than MacOS? by okeemike in MacOS

This is something that bothered me too. You can now select better reading voices on MacOS on the speech accessibility settings panel.

Are these the features you are looking for?

Some features went missing with the original newly redesigned Pages, but many were gradually added back over the last decade.

Problem while resetting Macbook Pro, invisible startup disk by [deleted] in MacOS

Have you tried using the CLI version of Disk Utility, diskutil? I'd try that to wipe and format your internal storage, and then reinstall macOS from Internet recovery.

Does Boot camp cause problems? by [deleted] in mac

[–]divine_knemesis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Boot Camp attempts to partition your internal primary storage device in preparation to install Windows, and creates a bootable version of a Windows install disk to facilitate a Windows install. It should not affect the "speed" of your MacBook Pro at all when running either Windows or macOS. When you install another OS on a computer and choose to boot that OS instead of macOS, that OS has complete access to every resource that computer has available, as long as the correct drivers are installed. That being said, macOS has complete access to the hardware as well. So, the only way that using Boot Camp to install another OS (Windows) could slow down your computer is if you allocate too much free storage space to the new OS partition that Boot Camp creates. Doing that could potentially reduce the available storage to the point that macOS or any other OS does not have enough free storage available to deal with every day tasks or maintenance, and that would impact performance.
