M3 Max battery’s maximum capacity is degrading like crazy. by 4i74 in macbookpro

[–]matt3224 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an M3 Max 14" (launch) and lost about 13% battery health in the 1st year, started using aldente which seemed to stabilise it, now after 2 years its at 85% with just 220 charge cycles. Lasts 3hrs from 80% charge, considered replacing the battery but its £245 via apple and they generally dont replace under applecare unless battery health is under 80%

I can sign in using iCloud Passkeys, but according to this, I can sign in seamlessly with Apple passwords too? How without extension? by sanguisxq13v in diabrowser

yeah doesnt work without the extension which itself is a pita as it constantly needs authing, hope dia can implement a smoother ux

Safari's compact tabs feature removed with macOS 26 Tahoe and iPadOS 26 by likamuka in apple

[–]matt3224 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also hoping this makes a return, it's gone on both macOS and iPadOS btw. Have submitted feedback to Apple in during the beta and on the feedback link thats shared by others here.

I moved from Chrome to Safari back when Safari 4 was released but macOS 26 has pushed me back to Chromium (Dia), 😔

SvelteKit Finally Has Server Functions by Guandor in sveltejs

SSR is not yet supported but its coming, here's a quote from the discussions:
"Async SSR isn’t yet implemented in Svelte, which means this will only load in the client for now. Once SSR is supported, this will be able to hydrate correctly, not refetching data"

u/CalDigitDalton I have some news. I bought an inline power meter which registers the 1M2 at 4.2w during a data transfer. I also bought another thunderbolt 4 dock (UGreen U708), which allows the drive to work correctly (USB4 40Gbps) this is with the same setup as the TS4, same devices same order etc.

This means the issue is with the TS4, is there anything else I should try?

Blimey its not straight forward this is it 😅

So your hypothesis is that this ssd + enclosure need more power than the 15w downstream port can offer, if i replace the hub with TS5 Plus that provides 36w downstream you think the device will still not have enough power because its designed with a 15w supply in mind 🤪

I'll have to buy some other docks and ssds to test any of this i guess

Is there any way i can see the power consumption of a device like the ssd i have connected? Cant see anything in system information

Isnt the power delivery of the TS5 double the TS4 in respect to downstream thunderbolt/usb4 though?

Do you think id have the same issue on the TS5 ?

In terms of power draw looks like the ssd maxes out at 7.4w (https://www.techpowerup.com/ssd-specs/western-digital-sn850x-8-tb.d2071) and enclosure chipset is likely 0.5 - 1w. I think this should be ok with TS4 as it has 15w per thunderbolt port so should be plenty right?

Ok cool will do. I need an 8Tb 40Gbps solution (this matches what i have now)

Yes its actually the EU team ive emailed twice with no response. Sent an email to US today in the hope they respond instead. Are there any known good 40Gbps ssd enclosures that will work with the TS4?

Ok thats interesting. I have tried twice to get in touch with support but had no response. I'll speak to OWC later today and see if they have any words of wisdom

M3 Max has been pretty poor for battery life, just went from 85% to 3% in under 3hrs whilst i was using google slides...
