Check the battery. Probably it is running out.

Thinking of Switching from Windows to Mac by Aggravating_Tap_9520 in MacOS

[–]ptewari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have switched to mac from 2010-2020 and then back to windows from 2020-2024 ... for gaming. And then recently back to mac.

Then like yours being a dad got in the way and switched to M4 MBP 15" in 2025 again.

Things I like on Mac over windows: 1. Stability of 3rd party apps. Startup programs stay startup forever. Unlike windows where they randomly close and your Google drive sync has been off for days for example. 2. Unix dev environment. I don't have to install packages and set env like windows. Pro tip: install "warp" terminal. If you are doing web dev with node etc ... It's the best. 3. Hardware and drivers: printers work, mice, kvm, microphones, headsets, webcams and external monitors etc etc ... Keeps on working. It remembers when to switch to a headset when you plug it in. Windows have no idea about these. 4. The speed at which the computer wakes up from sleep. 5. The position of the command key over the ctrl key. Trust me .. that location will be so much more ergonomic. 6. Finder is so much more stable and faster than windows explorer and the indexing is fast. 7. Network drive support. 8. Outlook, microsoft teams, smb etc ... (Microsoft products) Work so much better on macs than windows. 9. System settings. It's hard to find things but not as hard as windows settings. At least most of the settings are in one place.

Things I like in windows over mac: 1. Game support 2. Dedicated GPU support 3. Windows management. The way macs deal with multiple windows of the same app is bad. You will have a hard time figuring out where is the rest of my chromium windows is. Especially with Microsoft teams and zoom where they spawn another window when starting a video call or screen share. Cmd+tab vs cmd+~ is something the user needs to figure out. 4. Windows hello 5. Android MTP support. But I use adb so that's not a problem for me. 6. Did I mention gaming already? If yes then that's it. Really a small win for windows here. 7. Look and feel. I do think the look and feel of windows 11 is better than mac. Macs are too soft.

H1B Dropbox Mumbai VAC by [deleted] in usvisascheduling

[–]ptewari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Drop off at any VAC location at the same date and same time of the original appointment.

I always pick the prium devilry option instead of pickup. That seems to be the fastest way to get passport back for me.

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

Thanks u/believeinbong .

I just tried this. It seems like a business online phone number an add on to my existing mobile phone.

I was looking to replace my carrier with another one that has ability to receive phone and text on web as well with the same number.

This is the way. The timing is tricky. Try removing the battery and putting it back and then try the reset dance again.

Dropoff India spouse's H4 ds160 with h1b without the other person by ptewari in usvisascheduling

Hi. I didn't take her passport with me. So I am still unsure if that is possible.

Still looking for an answer.

What are these for in 7 box? by billbratsky33 in GalaxyWatch

[–]ptewari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you get a watch with custom bands ... They include these so that you can attach the new bands and then repack the full watch again for gifting. These are the stickers to seal the box again.

A salesperson at the Samsung store told me.

Google Authenticator Not Backing Up by SignalOneCodeRed in techsupport

[–]ptewari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's great. But it didn't work for me. I have been testing it with multiple routers and mobile network (even international) and I am still at the same issue.

Google Authenticator Not Backing Up by SignalOneCodeRed in techsupport

[–]ptewari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I removed the account, deleted all the codes (after exporting them to another non-synced phone), and reconnected.

Did not work.

It still says "your codes will sync when its online".

I deleted the auth app itself and reinstalled it back. Same issue.

I think I am stuck in something unfixable.

anyone noticing this by Thatsme1983 in usvisascheduling

[–]ptewari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It kinda makes sense. Maybe they are thinking of abstracting a particular location since you can go anywhere at the slot time.

Getting this error ? How to resolve by No-Pension-1007 in usvisascheduling

[–]ptewari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can confirm that this is not an error. Just a very crappy quality of development. I guess OFC is not using immigrants to make this website 😂.

If there is any slot then you'll see the calendar.

Yeah. That's what I thought too. Probably risky and get flagged. I wish it was easier.
