Don’t go anywhere near TotalAV, they are scammers just like MacKeeper. They invent problems and then charge you to fix them.

Command - Option - Escape. Force Quit 2020 and restart.

Well I’ve got the AirPods Pro with much love from my beloved. Took while to deliver but loving them. Brilliant fit and sound amazing. Nice thing is I can play Plex stuff through them. Bit of mucking around getting that to work and I get the sound from my Bose system as well. The noise cancelling works pretty well too. Overall worth it!

iOS 13.3.1, iPadOS 13.3.1, macOS 10.15.3, watchOS 6.1.2, and tvOS 13.3.1

Octopus have finally done away with that stupid reader that hardly ever worked and now use iPhone NFC!

Yet another iOS update to 13.2:

iOS 13.2 introduces Deep Fusion, an advanced image processing system that uses the A13 Bionic Neural Engine to capture images with dramatically better texture, detail and reduced noise in lower light on iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max. Additional features include updated and additional emoji, Announce Messages for AirPods, support for AirPods Pro, HomeKit Secure Video, HomeKit-enabled routers and new Siri privacy settings.

Just got Rhodie the AirPods today. Very impressed- sound quality amazing and they seem to fit every size ear perfectly - nice bit of kit. Top of my Christmas wish list!

Another Apple Update to 13.1.3. Regular as clockwork these days!

04/10/2019

iOS 13.1.2 today. Apple sure keep them coming!

Well I’ve finally given MacOS Mojave my official seal of approval! Although there are still no 3rd party apps that can repair directory damage on APFS such as Diskwarrior yet, I believe they’re on the way soon. Besides which I have tested using Time Machine and Carbon Copy Cloner HFS+ backups and Diskwarrior 5.2 and found no serious directory damage so I’ve clean installed on my MacBook Pro 2012 13”with home-brewed Fusion drive and encryption and will do the same on my IMac 2015 once my eyes improve.

30/09/2019

This is odd - I was under the impression MS Office 2011 wouldn’t work under Mojave. They do except no more updates. I use them so rarely I don’t really care!

26/09/2019

iOS 13.1 out today - that’s quick!

19/09/2019

For iOS 13 I would download onto computer not over air for any major release. Way faster. Look for a site that has .ipsw file for your iPhone.

Better than iTunes by far!

AnyTrans lets you manage and transfer music, photos, messages, and all kinds of iOS data across your iPhone, iPad, iPod, iTunes, iCloud and computer. You can even move Android data to iPhone easily and completely.

There are updates to all Apple products.

The long wait for iOS 12.4 is finally over after Apple made the software update available to all iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch owners this morning. In what

There's been too many scare stories. This puts it into perspective.

People warning of horrible health effects of 5G aren’t hard to find. But their claims are based on a mistake made by a scientist decades ago.

14/07/2019

Well I'm trying to restore to 12.3.1 but the iTunes progress bar impossible to see if anything actually happening or not! Still says time remaining 2 hrs but impossible to tell! Well 2 hrs later it has finally worked but now it seems pointless to use iTunes 12.6.5 because it still insists on re-downloading every app. So when that will finish God knows and then they will all need to be rearranged as well.

12/07/2019

I'm using the beta version of iOS 13 - it's rubbish.

10/07/2019

Nasty!

How to protect yourself from a SIM hijack, deal with an attack as it happens, and recover afterwards.

04/07/2019

Could be a very good idea!

You may soon be able to transfer photos, videos, contacts, and more from an old iPhone to a new one using a cable.

02/07/2019

This so much better than Microsoft Office and solves the problem of MS Office 2011 being discontinued. And it's free!

Download SoftMaker FreeOffice and FlexiPDF Basic. They are free for home and business use.

After seeing reports on previews of the new Apple macOS Cortana, I’m afraid I’m not moving beyond MacOS High Sierra. Mojave in my opinion is a pathetic disaster and the new file system APFS still undocumented so nothing like DiskWarrior can be updated. That obnoxious overrated prick “Sir” Johnny Ive has “resigned” rather been “pushed”. Why a product designer was put in charge of software I’ve no idea? Even his recent product designs notably the “dustbin” Mac Pro and MacBook Pro’s are complete rubbish. iPhones are ridiculously overpriced and produced by slave labour. Apple are finished except for overpriced trinkets and as a computer company dead in the water. What a shame! At least Steve Jobs had a vision. Tim Cook should go as well. Bye, bye Apple! And my deepest condolences to all the hard working and creative developers who’ve made some great products over the years.

Always trust your cloud service!!

Nest, YouTube, iCloud, Snapchat, others affected.

Something to think about. Our digital lifestyles are contributing to the current climate disaster.

Technology is often touted as a solution to the world's environmental challenges, but it is also part of the problem: industry executives are facing rising pressure to clean up their energy and resource-intensive business.

100% agree! The management of this company is a disgrace!

Facebook has been beset by scandals over the last year and many believe that nothing will change until its founder and CEO is gone.

Stories I'm reading are truly Orwellian!

"It's not like you can sign a TOS (Terms Of Service) when you enter someone's house," Nest's VP of Product Rishi Chandra told Business Insider in a recent interview

09/05/2019

Much the same as Facebook really. Who the hell can you trust? Nobody by the looks of it!

The company has launched new privacy settings, but the various toggles and dashboards require a lot of user interaction.

09/05/2019

Let's hope something comes of this but somehow I doubt it.

A company whose motto has been ‘Move Fast and Break Things’ cannot be relied upon to admit wrongdoing

Why are these offers limited to USA only?

Apple is giving its users an opportunity to earn some bonus credit on the Apple ID to spend on Apple's products and services, by offering 10% extra on top of any additions to an account up to the value of $200 before May 10.
