Apple Devices Thread

You had my vote until you said magnification on.

As for an ad-blocker, two raspberry pi running pi-hole to cover all devices plus uBlock for Safari to clean up the spaces left by the blocked adverts. The chuck in tailscale as well to cover you when out of the house. Pretty simple setup :wink:

You can pick which monitor is the primary display and your dock (and menu bar) will appear on that one.

Mine’s always set to the bottom (with auto-hide), I’ll have to test whether it works for me when set to the left

Bliss. I can play Minecraft at 120 FPS with zero drops in frame rate.

I’ve been testing the speakers and they’re like a thousand times better than my Galaxy Book. And having media control keys is such a nice thing as well.

I also didn’t realise how much I’ve missed biometric login since my Microsoft Surface!

And the colours on the screen. So much better than my Galaxy Book.

I’m sold on Mac now!

It’s also extremely smooth for being just a 60Hz panel. It feels like 90 or 120Hz.

Can I ask how much your Galaxy Book cost?

Galaxy Book4 was £479 I believe. So the Mac is about 3x the cost of that.

Has anyone else noticed that Order tracking in Wallet app has improved?
I have noticed that now they link tracking numbers from the emails too and update the tracking.

This was only possible with few retailers but now it seems to be more general even from random shops as long as the order Id can be linked to the tracking from the email.
I have had those from Evri and Royal mail accurately tracked.
They have updated status before I could get any more emails from the courier or shop about the shipment.

Probably an Apple Intelligence thing. I wish they could do it with notifications from apps too.

Like from a parcels app or from retailers apps?

Like from any application really. Many countries also use app notifications from Amazon equivalents to tell you about package movement.

Won’t people moan about privacy? AI reading their notifications.

I mean, probably fairly easy to do that on device. Also Apple has a lot more capital than Google when it comes to trust.
