If you want to update using cellular only, you need to start the process from your phone. Your watch does not support 400 MB/s transfer rates over cellular. It’s a watch, not an iPhone 15 Pro with hardware ray tracing.
If you want to update the watch OTA, it has to be connected to wifi. Cellular is not fast or reliable enough, ergo why Apple set wifi as the base.
I'm curious: is this still a thriving community? Intel-based Macs are on the verge of being fully deprecated by Apple, so Hackintoshes will (within a year or two) be little more than "vintage computers." Sure, you might manage to make one more cheaply or more powerful than an Intel Mac, but at some point there isn't much that's going to run. Already they're stuck with older OS releases.
The guides are still updated for the newest OS release, all the tweaks are still being maintained. But I have the feeling that the community is fading more and more (as expected). I am still running a hackintosh, and as long as the whole machine with dedicated GPU, 32gb RAM and 1TB ssd is still cheaper than the 32gb RAM upgrade alone from Apple, I will continue to run it.
First, go into settings and look at the devices logged in. The list is in your account name at the top. Are they all yours? Could be bad pfishing attempts or could be some error in iCloud sending them.
Yeah, all my devices, all here with me right now. Only weird thing there is that my windows desktop was listed 4 times.
And now after changing password and signing into my phone, watch, and desktop, there is a new device, named after my desktop, but it says its an iPhone… but that its running windows?! snipboard.io/A40yZP.jpg
I feel like they’re just trying to irritate me out of using a windows pc, though I’d sooner get rid of all my apple devices.
I guess I’m just going to see if the emails keep coming after the password change. We have no reason to suspect that the password was compromised… but hey, sometimes the things that dont seem to make sense end up working.
Here’s my theory. It’s not that your Windows desktop was listed 4 times. Those are 4 different devices. One of them is the real Windows desktop. The others are some other devices (could be the attacker’s, or your automation devices) that are using the same authentication token copied from your Windows machine. That’s why they are all recognized as your Windows desktop.
Running a NAS is fine and all, but iCloud is one less thing in my personal life I have to spend time to sysadmin. I use a NAS for some things and iCloud for photo sharing. No port forwards/etc needed at all.
Why do people resort to insults when other people prioritize things differently? This always baffles me, and I’ve been seeing it a lot on Lemmy lately.
I don’t have a NAS. I don’t want a NAS. I have no need for a NAS. I have iCloud purely for my mother, and my time is way more valuable than the cost of iCloud. I also don’t want to deal with troubleshooting if something goes wrong. I fight enough fires at work when a release goes sour.
I’m not stupid because I value my time more than the cost of a subscription. I value the ease of use for my mother more than the cost of a subscription. I understand your values don’t align with mine. That’s okay! You’re not stupid for that. And I’m not stupid for my choices.
Try to see the human and realize that we all have individual lives, goals, and priorities. Insulting people for being different than you is something we should be moving away from, not continuing.
I was in a serious car accident in 2008 in my BMW ($30k in car damage, $185k in medical bills) and when I got out of the car and called 911, they told me that the car had already called them and they were on the way. It’s 15 years later and most cars STILL don’t have this feature, so it’s great to have something that does. It will and has saved lives.
I don’t think you understand what Apple Fitness+ is? You don’t have to pay for access to any health data?
It’s a service with workout videos lead by instructors, like what Peloton offers with their app. It’s pretty good, I enjoy the yoga classes on my Apple TV.
Fitness+ costs less per month than a peloton subscription.
I also don’t know why you say music is a shit deal when it costs the same as all the other competing services. The 2TB cloud storage is also $10 a month which matches the competition too, just like you said you were paying. I will agree with news+ though, it’s garbage.
As a new junkie, I love News+. It’s got a lot of content with no paywalls. Also they have audio articles, so you can listen to long form stories like an audiobook. Great for the car.
Ultimately, I think the plan is worth it, especially with family members being able to use it too. Some use Fitness, some use TV+, some use News, all use iCloud+. Music is good to have, even though most of us use Spotify.
I do wish they offered some ala cart option so that I could opt out of the services no one uses and still save a little money with a discounted rate.
Not to mention, a number of newspapers let you subscribe via Apple Subscriptions through it. Which means you can cancel without spending 25 minutes on a chat window or picking up the phone.
The problem I have with News+ is this… if you thumbs down a source or even outright block it, News+ still shows it as a tapable tile. It just says “You’ve blocked this source” instead of showing the underlying material that would have been there. It’s an incredibly stupid UI design. If I’ve blocked a site it shouldn’t show up at all. Put a different story in its place.
The other thing Indont like is that even the paid tier of News+ still has ads. A premium price should have a premium experience.
Yeah, I find the placeholder a bit annoying too. I guess it’s probably intended to make you aware that you’re creating your own news bubble. That was a criticism of Facebook… that its algorithm was not even showing content/perspectives in one side of the political spectrum to people on the other side. And vice versa.
Also, News+ ads are easily blocked by a DNS-level ad blocker like Pihole or, the cloud-based one, NextDNS.
What a ridiculous comment. Not everyone has your needs and half your gripes aren’t even based on factually correct information. It doesn’t even sound like you use Apple products, so why are you here? Just dropping in to show your ignorance?
Apple Music is pretty similar to Spotify. That’s an established business model and the price is pretty much the same between the two. Apple Arcade isn’t unlike other subscription game services, also an established business model. News+ is a new thing, but offers a lot of convenience with no paywalls and hours of long form articles in audio format. Worth it for that alone.
If all you want to pay for is iCloud+ and TV+ because you don’t value the other services, then you can do that for $20/month, not $38.
And, no you do not need to pay for Apple Fitness to use your Apple Watch and “get your metrics.”Fitness+ is video workout classes for people who want to use that. Otherwise, the watch works perfectly fine to “get your metrics.” Go for a run, jerk yourself off, it’ll measure your heart rate, “lifetime data for free.”
But, tell me more about how instead I should subscribe to Photoshop, which I don’t even use, and get 4TB of cloud storage, which is more than my entire family needs. If I did want 4TB, though, I could also get that for $20/month. So, why are you complaining again?
These are the sorts of features that I am always wholeheartedly on-board with. Ones that work in the background with little to no input that work when required to improve the user’s everyday lives.
After recently finding out that my mother knocked herself unconscious some time ago while she was alone and woke up after almost half an hour had past I’m tempted to buy her an Apple Watch for some peace of mind. To be clear, it’s not a small purchase for me just as a gift but she’s recently had a couple of falls as well so it’s getting concerning.
Thankyou for your concern ☺️ she’s a nurse and has visited doctors on each occasion. Definitely feels like there’s something underlying there but that may just be me being paranoid.
Assuming she bothers to wear the damn thing. My grandmother on my father’s side once had a fall incident that led to a hospitalization, so the family chipped in to buy her an Apple Watch because it has fall detection. But she’s too embarrassed to wear it, so it lives permanently on her nightstand, even though so many of us have smart watches of our own.
I did this for my dad and my mother in-law. They love their watch and all of us feel a little better with them wearing it. Inlaw has fallen twice while gardening (tripped) and we got notified. Really happy with them
I usually go directly for the OpenCore Install Guide as it contains everything in one place very well documented but I see how that can be useful for a lot of people
I really hope they keep tuning it to fix the false positives but this is a really amazing feature. Same with fall detection (both amazing and a little false triggering).
