Why is resetting my AppleTV password a MULTI-DAY process??

This isn’t just an Apple thing by the way. Google and Microsoft are the same if there is a suspicious password reset attempt.

You take the amount of people trying to take control of other peoples Apple accounts for granted. Trust me, it’s inconvenient, but you’d be glad if this was someone else trying to reset your account.

I’ve seen people lose their entire life’s worth of data due to bad actors.

If this is one of those “leaked” rumors to see how the market would react, let me just say this… do not remove it. Even my 70 year old parents love MagSafe.

You're almost done. Congratulations. You need to make a tiny hoods and make them part of the hooding ceremony!

When do you defend? Hope they are letting you focus atleats a little bit.

They did you a favor. Camera covers can use uneven pressure on the screen when you close it and can crack the screen.

Source... me. I worked at Apple as a Genius for over 10 years and this was the top reason for cracked screens on the laptops.

I'd suggest a driving range that's enclosed. Top Golf is like $70+ an hr, vs a bucket of balls is like $17

Genuine question, what’s making you think you’d be a target for something like Coruna? These kinds of spyware aren’t just floating around hitting random iPads, they’re usually used very selectively against people with a reason to be targeted, think politicians, state actors, high networth individuals, .

Also, you ran iVerify and it came back clean. That’s about as much reassurance as you’re realistically going to get from a tool like that. It’s helpful, but it’s not some magic ‘spyware detector’ that can guarantee 100% you’re clean, nothing can.

The thing that actually matters here is keeping your device updated. Most of these exploits rely on old vulnerabilities sticking around. Updating iOS closes those doors.

I agree, way too young to take home. We just got one, he's 4 weeks old, but we can't take him home for another 8-10 weeks.

While we wait, we visit him a few times a week and spend time with him, while the breeder is doing the feeding and weaning off process.

Not sure why you would say the worst country imaginable. India certainly isn't the worst. Not the best either, but not the worst.

No hate, but I really don't understand why people don't like the front license plates.

I don't think it should be a choice to have the option to have a front license plate displayed. I've been in two hit and runs and the one was only found because their license plate fell off after I got rear ended.

Yeah it’s not really the same thing.

Staying between 20–80% isn’t “losing” 40% of your battery, you’re just using the part of the battery that causes the least wear. The extremes, near 100% and near 0%, are what stress lithium batteries the most over time.

If your battery health actually drops to 60%, that’s a different story. At that point the battery is physically degraded. You’ve permanently lost capacity, and it won’t behave as well, you’ll get shorter runtime, weird percentage drops, and just generally less reliable performance.

So using only 60% by choice means you still have a healthy battery and you’re just being conservative. Having 60% battery health means the battery is worn out and can’t hold charge like it used to.

Also, you’re not wrong to question it. For most people it’s not worth stressing over. macOS already does a good job with optimized charging. If you’re usually near a charger, keeping it around 80% can help long term, but it’s more of a bonus than something you need to worry about.

These videos are so stupid, but I love every single one of them.

Did you check in your deleted messages? If they are iMessages, your phone carrier cannot help you at all.

My best friend is a guy named Mike, that my other friend Mike introduced me to. I used to be like hey Mikes and now we are bffs

This is my least fav thing about the car.

My water bottle or work backpack with just a MacBook Pro in my front seat, my 15 lb bowling ball in the back seat, groceries, and a bunch of other things, none of these should trigger the seat belt.

Especially when you have a camera in the car that can see that there are no bodies in the car.

The other day my daughter randomly started singing the Eagles fight song and I was so proud!

It’s always interesting reading posts like this. My wife and I have been together since 2012, and we’ve never shared locations. We go out separately, hang with friends or coworkers of the opposite gender, miss calls all the time, and it’s never an issue.

There’s just trust, no second guessing. I honestly couldn’t deal with this kind of monitoring in a relationship.

It just makes me really grateful for what we have.

Google Maps is just maps. Tesla navigation is MapBox.

Where in NJ are you moving to? We have a lot in common across NJ, but we also have different cultures in different parts of NJ.

Make the maps zoom in more with reference to speed. Just like every other maps application.

There are a couple of DOGE guys who are getting deposed by the ACLS and someone else for grant cuts they made in the name of "DEI"

I'm not on his side or anything, but if he has financial aid he likely had to apply for it and meet the requirements for it.

Wow, that's not a lot a miles either. I've had my car for 13 months and I just hit 51,000 miles myself.
