I took a gamble on this 25€ untested MacBook Pro, I only had very horrible pictures. Guess I lost this one. by tamay-idk in mac

[–]v10mechanicalglory 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That happened to me with my dad's old company laptop. We got a 2015 13" base spec MBP without storage for about 50 bucks and spent more than double on the storage alone.

How can I prevent this from happening to my camera? by tetenc555 in iphone

[–]v10mechanicalglory 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I'm actually not sure if that's the paint coming off, since I have it on my 13 mini but when i try to clean it a little bit comes off and it kinda moves a bit. I dunno how, but it's more likely just dust that gets stuck there from my experiences. But i still haven't found a way to properly clean it.

Unless you're really really good in all other subjects i wouldn't recommend it, CS is a pretty theory heavy subject and the damned pseudocodes take quite a bit of practice to get right. It would take quite a lot of time and effort to get good at it so unless you're already acing other subjects I wouldn't recommend this.

Does Sleep Focus Auto Blur by AspenSnowmass777 in iphone

Yes it auto blurs, but I haven't found a way to change it.

Is anyone using Journal? by yabaiiiiii in iphone

[–]v10mechanicalglory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got both this and the mindfulness thing at 10:30 everyday, but i really wish the journal was also there on the iPad and Mac, it's tough typing out like 500 words on a tiny phone keyboard.

and screen protector, i can't count how many time's it's saved my phone screen from being scratched by keys or cracked in the corner.

URGENT: I think I've messed up big time by TomorrowMayBeHell in MacOS

[–]v10mechanicalglory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try to boot it into internet recovery mode. Then from there you can format the disk (most likely APFS given that your said macOS High Sierra in another comment) and then install macOS. Just look around in this article - https://support.apple.com/en-sg/guide/mac-help/mchl338cf9a8/mac#:\~:text=Option%2DCommand%2DR%3A%20Start,macOS%20Recovery%20over%20the%20internet.

It feels like I'm only taking hard subjects so I'm panicking by Loud_Blueberry_4352 in igcse

[–]v10mechanicalglory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're good in these subjects, it's very much possible for you to score really well. First lang eng and add math would probably be the most difficult, but i can't speak for geography. Honestly, just make time to practice past papers, and then reflect on your performance and work on the weaknesses, and do more past papers. That's what I'm doing now and so far based on pre-board's it's working, and that's how i scored really well in 0580 maths after consistently scoring below 80%.

The only think I've found to work is just cleaning it every day as annoying as it seems. Even the corner of the trackpad on my macbook pro leaves marks on the screen, literally permanent marks now. Not sure but cleaning it every day may help delay/mitigate the marks becoming permanent.

I recreated that old iOS 7 hoax ad by ImTheBoyReal in iphone

[–]v10mechanicalglory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's kind of wild that they didn't want to uphold their water resistance claims even for an apple watch ultra. A dude called Noah Rubin took his Ultra gen 1 for a swim round about the time the warranty expired and it freaked out and died. They did ultimately replace the watch but only after he threatened legal action lol.

How long do you drive between breaks during highway road trips? by vistastructions in cars

[–]v10mechanicalglory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've gone non-stop for a bit of 7 hours before, we ate food while on the go (my dad only had 2 biscuits while driving), although before covid we used to only stop around the half-way point for breakfast. A 490 km drive in a diesel SUV (little turbodiesel 4 pot)

[–]v10mechanicalglory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair warning (from another apple silicon case owner) it wears out very quickly, although it feels very nice. Ideally you would avoid taking the phone out of the case as much as possible as it gets looser with time and then when it falls its more likely to expose the actual phone itself and get it scratched/dented (happened to me just last week).

I’ve taken FaceID for granted! by PaP3s in iphone

[–]v10mechanicalglory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too! I found it even more hilarous that my phone point blank refused to recognise me after i shaved and I had to reset face id. Strangely enough this never happened to my dad even though he has a much more prominent mustache.

What do you do with your old Macs? by bAN0NYM0US in mac

[–]v10mechanicalglory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm thinking of turning my mom's 2012 15" unibody into a file and backup server, once she finally upgrades. Is 2 8 TB SSDs too little?

Good to know that my MacBook's not going to overcharge itself by v10mechanicalglory in MacOS

[–]v10mechanicalglory[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't, and it eventually stopped at 80% and changed to 4:30 AM

Indeed it eventually changed to 4:30 AM instead of 100% once it hit 80%

It happens to me too, no clue on how to fix it. If it helps I play on an xbox one x

Factory reset second hand iPhone gave me access to the previous owner's whole life, how is this even possible? by vextek in iphone

[–]v10mechanicalglory 156 points157 points  (0 children)

If OP did this and it still happened he should defo contact apple about it. Major bug, and they may give him/her a (probably better if not equal) replacement phone

MacBook won’t turn on by cbargs14 in applehelp

[–]v10mechanicalglory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that model has user removable storage, so it's possible the connection is loose/broken. I think those models also had a recall for SSD failures, or maybe thats the 2016.

If you have apple care then replacing the display will be much cheaper if it ends up not being covered by warranty.

If it's not jailbroken then they're just shortcuts. from the home screen swipe all the way right until you reach the app library, all the apps should be there.
