Since updating iOS on my iPhone and iPad, every time I leave the house (with my iPhone but not the iPad or my MacBook) I keep getting notifications on my phone telling me I "left behind" my devices. That's because I did, but on purpose and have never been nagged by my phone about it. "This device was left behind. The device is no longer detected near you. It was last seen at home". Can someone please point me in the right direction to leave the location ability of this in place, but on... Read more Continue reading...

Need Help with FOCUS (i.e. Do Not Disturb) and Phone Calls
by Guest JWGold- 0 replies

Ever since they implemented Focus instead of the old Do Not Disturb, I have had difficulty setting up my phone correctly. I have a work phone and on certain nights I am on-call. I would like to be able to receive phone calls, but silence all apps such as email. Unfortunately, there does not appear to be any way to "allow" the phone to ring while silencing all other apps. Has anyone figured out a solution? Continue reading...

RX 590 Special Edition + NVME card in slot 2 possible?
by Guest bibbli- 0 replies

I have an AMD Sapphire RX 590 Special Ed. working great in slot 1 of my cMP 5,1, but visually the height clearly shows that even a small NVME adapter card in slot 2 (to use 16x) would touch the fan blades. Has anyone made this work? Someone in this thread mentions success with about one mm of space between their RX 580 and a slot 2 SSD card, but not sure if my 590 is thicker, I've searched for specs that might hint at a difference. Same thread also mentions getting an add'l mm or two... Read more Source: MacRumors

I have an iPhone SE 2nd Gen that has a maximum battery capacity of 90% and says it is operating at Peak Performance. I have auto-brightness on and turned off background app refresh for everything except Slack, Gmail, Google Calendar, and Apple Maps (WiFi only). However, if I use my iPhone for 2 hours listening to Spotify with the screen turned off, the battery goes to 45-50% which seems extreme.

Mac Pro 2023 - Considering latest Rumors - Poll

With rumors swirling about non-upgradable components in the upcoming Mac Pro, I am curious how many real-world Mac Pro users are still interested in the Mac Pro if this is the direction Apple is going. I’m a MacBook user and not in the market for a Mac Pro. I am not part of the target audience for this device. Being a tech enthusiast with a powerful DIY PC, I find Apple’s potential approach to be a waste of time, but since I am not in this game it’s best to get opinions from people who...

Is there any danger if I run both of these cards in my Mac Pro 5,1?

I'd like to run the AHT with it, but since I get a black screen, I would have both 5870s in there and then I could see what the AHT is saying. Mabye I can... Read more Source: MacRumors
