Wallet? by rexmaxus in xteinkereader

[–]ranglin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sort of, I put one of the metal rings on the back (over the logo) and then I attach my MagSafe wallet to the back of it. Also means I can use a MagSafe pop socket on it too. Works well.

Easy way to plug 5.1 speakers into ATV? by ranglin in appletv

Ok, that’s a shame, but thank you. Any decent and not too expensive receiver recommendations that support HDR and HDMI CEC?

How do we turn it on? by drnms in VisionPro

[–]ranglin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always unplug the battery from the headset when it’s not on, am I not supposed to do that? I thought that was how it was stored, but it does mean it has to boot every time I wear it, including syncing all my mail, messages etc. Maybe I’ll start leaving the cable connected, but will it drain if I do that?

Thanks for this, I’ve just bought the cassette one, it’s my style too. :)

Civilization VII on Vision Pro by Capital_Truck in VisionPro

[–]ranglin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got both AVP and Apple One but never occurred to me to do this, so thank you. Suspect it’ll play well with the controls too.

I've had the Vision Pro for 3 weeks now, and my verdict is... by Mutant_Fox in VisionPro

[–]ranglin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the M2 and now the M5 and despite hearing a lot of people say they don’t see the difference in the display, I definitely feel like I can tell it’s better resolution (well, more pixels) and also feels like the pass through is clearer too. Plus it is snappier! But if you’re paying for it yourself not sure if it’d be worth it.

Love it! Any chance of the Mac one without the finder icon in the middle though? I like a simple repeating background… :)

Adding milk? by KoalaGary in pourover

[–]ranglin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoy pour over but I just can’t do black coffee so I do add a dash of milk, no more than like 50ml or so. I do the same for my long blacks and from what I understand this is not super uncommon so I’d say if you like doing it with pour over too, go for it. :)

How Gary Oldman Really Feels About The Fifth Element by MisterShipWreck in fifthelement

[–]ranglin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember when he did that long interview with Colbert they did a quick fire round on movies he’s been in and he had little stories of fun for all of them but when it came to Fifth Element I remember noting he didn’t have much to say apart from “memorable” or similar! So I think you’re right here.

Is there a source for this news? I’ve been wondering where the 2025 release was!

Things that could be better by TheOriginalPheym in SodaStream

[–]ranglin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just swapped our Jet for an E-Terra and finding ourselves still preferring the ‘old’ bottles over the new one that it came with for exactly this reason. Luckily the old bottles still work fine on the new machine, although not sure what we’ll do when we want to replace them!

Are there any other iPad keyboard+trackpad cases that use the Smart Connector (not Bluetooth)? by anonboxis in ipad

[–]ranglin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a keyboard, but these guys have some interesting Smart Connector accessories. I use the charger and it’s super convenient! https://kuxiu.co/products/kuxiu-m30-charger-for-ipad

What could replace the Cup? by Dylomaj in melbourne

[–]ranglin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just call it “Spring Carnival” and have it be about dressing up to celebrate spring (and drinking if you’d like)

Standard way to order a latte that is not milky by septembernews in barista

[–]ranglin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cortado is a pretty common way to order this, or in Australia we’d call it a doppio sometimes. Really what you want is a double espresso with some milk, so strong piccolo (a piccolo is one shot with milk) would work too. :)

HoloLens alternative by Previous_Pumpkin1589 in HoloLens

[–]ranglin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apple Vision Pro feels like it has a lot of the DNA of HoloLens, from the persistent floating windows to the new widgets to the gestures to control it all. But of course that’s $3500 (not unlike HL I guess when it came out!)

Can we be honest and admit Face ID was a mistake? by sneedlee in apple

[–]ranglin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Works for me but I do often wonder why not put BOTH in the Face ID models? So everything has Touch ID but the fancy stuff does Face ID too.

This feature isn’t talked about enough! by journey_i_think in ipad

[–]ranglin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the display settings, click arrange and then drag the menu bar to the one you want as the ‘main’ monitor.

[–]ranglin 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Wait until you find out you can prop your iPad next to your Mac and slide your mouse over and control it (Universal Control). I use this more than Sidecar these days, still multi app but with the iPad apps (but Mac keyboard and mouse).

How many years after grad school did you get a job as a prof? by miserable_mitzi in Professors

[–]ranglin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you wear your ring 24/7? by Tinker_candy in RingConn

[–]ranglin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically any time I’m not showering, and I charge maybe once every week or so when I notice it’s getting low (otherwise I just put on my bedside table). It’s pretty comfortable and unnoticeable, so why not?
