I think so. The default configuration for Time Machine is to back up everything. There's not really a way for a non-technical user to prevent it from backing up everything on the machine unless an admin changed the options in Time Mach

It's definitely user error. We have a lease program through Apple and we get new machines every few months. Getting back up and running is simple and every new Mac computer asks if you want to transfer from an existing machine or a Tim

How is that gaslighting? I've done this multiple times when returning a lease to Apple and setting up a new machine. I was up and running in less than an hour.

With a MBP, you'd just restore from a Time Machine backup. If you don't have one, that would be on you.

This is exactly it. As someone who also has a PS5, I've just stopped playing it. Now that Sony is doing their games on PC too, I'm totally fine waiting for their release so I can play on the Deck and on my PC too. I also get to ca

>why are they being secured against people using them? They're not. They're being secured against malicious actors who can convince grandma to install a rootkit or bitcoin miner on her PC.

I was with you right up until the end... I have a Steam Deck and it's absolutely incredible. Support, though, even for the verified games and with nothing modified, is hardly at the level that it is for Apple products and actually usin

That wasn't possible as the host was completely down. I'm not sure if it was 100% but we had more followers on the new platform than the old one within the first month so most of them must have followed.

They don't need to. We didn't either since the server hosting the RSS feed was down. You just tell your subscribers to move on whatever platforms you're advertising on.

I use Spaces a lot with Mission Control and now Stage Manager. Anything that's vital gets a full-screen space and I can just swap between them with a swipe or with Ctrl+L/R. It's very quick and I never need to search for wind

I've never had this happen to me but I hear this more and more from people. I plan on getting these new ones so I hope it's not a recurring theme with these.

Do you not have family accounts set up? Each person in your home should have their own Apple ID and the HomePod for each person should be set up by the primary user. You can also set up the recognize by voice features and that should preven

I'm not sure, unfortunately. If Google offered a way to test that without paying, I'd happily do it but Apple Music serves our needs really well.

The chip is directionally aware. It would be able to tell you that your item is in a specific direction. (e.g., using Find My will give you an arrow that points toward your devices)

This is mostly my experience with one notable exception. I can't get phone calls to work on my HomePods but they always work fine with my HomePods mini (ugh, I hate saying that). I have no idea what the difference is and no amount of r

I used to have Wi-Fi connection issues that magically went away when I swapped my Linksys Velop network for an eero Pro system. HomeKit works every time now, there are never any unresponsive devices, and all my HomePods work great. I'm

Why? One is a human and the other is not. Humans have far more failures than limited tech.

I know we're just exchanging anecdotes but I never have this issue. On top of that, I have scenes and automations dialed in so "Good Night" (and similar scenes) do full-house automations for night, morning, and all kinds of d

I'm familiar with the Boots theory but that's not really what I meant. Boots are a necessity. Coffee makers are a luxury.

Yes, through Steam but Origin/EA's launcher gets installed too. I'm not familiar with Northstar so I guess the base game? I'm looking that up now.

It plays really, really well. So well, in fact, that I played it and beat it on the Deck and then played it again on my PC hooked up to the TV. Great game, great experience, and (as they advertise) great on Deck.

Same. The only reason I bought the Steam Dock for it was so that I could pop it in and switch my game to the TV. 90% of my playtime on this thing is on-the-go. It took the concept of the Nintendo Switch and actually delivered on it. Now, my

This is almost exactly my experience. I'm the type of person that's not great to shop for gifts for because I mostly buy the things I want and am minimal in what I want. My wife knows this, though, and just told everyone to buy me

I think you've also pointed out the need for unions, though. Lots of employees literally can't afford to strike because it means they don't get paid, even if it's temporarily. That means that your assertion that "

Singing with something doesn't imply anything about capture. It's just saying that I can sing along to songs without the original vocal while I'm washing the dishes in the kitchen or whatever.

And here I thought the purpose of this emulator was to play Battle Chess. Unfortunately, that doesn't work either.

I was about to respond with "Of course, how would you download apps otherwise?" but I'm pretty sure that's your point so you may be right here...
