Any of you using Homebrew on Macos?
If so, you should run a
A supply chain attack that modified "xz Utils" to plant a malware in it was just reported (xz Utils is a package that's installed as a dependency for sooo many things when using Homebrew). It's not clear yet if Macos can be infected as the malware seems to be mainly targeting Linux, but better safe than sorry. Get that bad version of xz out of your system!

Yeah, the 11" already has DV support, e.g. Netflix app, but looks like crap on the old LCD display. Looking forward to having proper HDR on an 11" iPad, especially for YouTube.
To be fair it'll be coming out next month in like two days.
So I finally switched from passwords to passkeys using 1Password. With the exception of PayPal, everything worked fine. But when the "Create a passkey?" prompt appears in PayPal, the Create button doesn't do anything. And it's the same on the PayPal website too. I tap the Create a Passkey link, the 1Password prompt appears, and the Create button doesn't work.
Has anyone had this issue?
Has anyone had this issue?
I tried to set up a passkey for PayPal back in September. I know it was then because it's saved in 1Password. Despite it being saved there, and saved in the PayPal app, the app has never used it to log in; it always asks for my password and 2FA code. The website doesn't even give me the option to use or create a passkey.
So yeah, PayPal. It sucks.
meh. That's annoying. While googling, I found a bunch of Reddit threads about other Passkey-related issues with PayPal, so it seems they kinda fucked it up.
Unrelated: Considering just how few sites/apps I use have Passkey support, it's probably gonna take years until Passkeys really take off. meh, meh, meh.
Two movies I've watched today on itunes are lacking subtitles, The Guard and The Nice Guys. I've noticed a handful of others previously. I don't know how studios think this is acceptable? It seems like such a bizarre omission, esp as they are available on the dvds
That is very strange. I don't think I've ever watched a movie on iTunes/Apple TV without subtitles
The Nice Guys on iTunes def has subtitles. Just checked on my copy on aTV.
Thanks for the replies! how weird(for me), above half of image is from the nice guys, bottom half is from In Bruges where it does have the subtitles option. I am kinda baffled.. also checked nice guys on my iPad and no subs option there for nice guys either. Am I being dense somehow
It makes no sense too. English is the most popular second language in the world, and younger generations love subs because of second-screening and social media apps
Hi everyone, I just want to get some validation/confirmation if I'm making the right choice in buying an iPad for the first time. Basically, I have a decent Windows laptop and a midrange PC and I'm kinda deep into the Apple ecosystem (iPhone, Apple Watch, AirPods and Apple TV). I'm looking at a refurbished M1 64GB iPad Air for 500 bucks (in my country that is; the 256GB is around 670 bucks). I mainly intend to use it for the following and nothing else:
- Reading PDFs and comics
- Writing notes on it (thinking of buying a Pencil 2 also)
- Watching classes online
- I'm not going to game on it (I rarely play mobile games anyway)
- Rarely watching offline media on it (emphasis on 'rarely' since I only use it when I'm on a flight or something).
simplicity
4k HDR (lots of windows streaming services limit resolution)
Same question for Apple TV use with Plex. I think I read people using Infuse to access Plex or something. But why ? Why not use hdmi or wifi, there is already a Plex app on my TV.
Please understand that I'm not arguing against the product, I'm genuinely looking to understand its potential use in my home.
I would just say that the 64gb fills up VERY quickly. I had a 64gb Mini for mostly reading books and comics and some light gaming and some offline viewing and I was juggling space a lot, for whatever reason.
Yeah, I agree there. 64gb with 2024 app sizes is not good. The struggle is real. Just waiting for the new ipads announcement to decide which sku to buy, myself. Ipad Pro 11'' 2017 or something, the battery dies within 3 hours of use, the thunderbolt plug only charges when orientated in a specific direction, it's time.
Because I'd rather not have to drag my PC to my TV every time I'd want to stream something while also losing out on Atmos and Dolby Vision just to save 200 Euro once every five years.
as for why not use the TV App, aside from smart tv hardware being inferior the most obvious pro of the Apple TV is the lack of Advertisements and tracking. WebOS literally tells you it's going to watch along with you so it can "learn" what you watch. It's a damn travesty. My TV is completely disconnected from the internet and will remain that way for the duration of its existence in my household.
It's such a weird thing not to have for a service like it. I actually don't really know where to find anything I added to "next" lol
Question... I woke up this morning and I had a notification on my phone to enter my Apple ID password in settings... similar to what happened a couple of weeks back when their authentification servers went down.
However, when I entered settings, I was asked to enter the password for an ID that wasn't mine. I clicked on "Not Now".
What does this mean? Any ideas?

Be careful as there is a phishing attack going around at the moment:

My god, my iCloud email account is full of scammy spam. Like I don't even use it anymore for email. So much fake offers and scams. Like 20 messages telling me my Peacock membership expired. (I don't have one) Or offers for YETI or STANLEY cups.
I upgraded to an iPhone 15 Pro Max the other day, and the bezels are so narrow it was terrible using it without a case. When gripping it my palm would make unwanted touches at the edge of the screen. The new location of the power button means I have to hold it slightly different too, because I've accidentally turned off the screen so many times.
lunarworks that was my wife's experience too. She got her phone two weeks ago and just finally got a case after too many accidental taps.
I got a notification on my iPhone this morning for a calendar event. It looked like the notification would have been created by the Apple Calendar app, but I don't have that app installed. I dismissed the notification but now I wish I could try to action it. iOS apparently lacks Android's notification history feature. Is there any way for me to figure out what the heck this was apart from installing the Calendar app and seeing if it shows up there?
I also know who would have sent the event info based on the information that was displayed in the notification, so I suppose I could ask them about it.

No. For years been hoping the next iOS gets a notification history - its just so easy to miss something when you're swiping through a bunch.
The worst is when you select a notification, it takes you into the app, but not to the item in the notification...and then you can't find the damn thing it wanted you to see. So you go back to the notifications and IT'S GONE!!!!! Why do notifications have to go away when you select them?
Enter code YOUWONTREMEMBERTHIS4192024 in the cart to get 90% off any item!
Wait what was the code, the app doesn't show it
I am coming awfully close to trading in my 16" M1 Pro MBP after about 2 years of ownership.
Absolutely the best laptop I've ever owned but since the laptop leaves home with me almost every day, the size has grown into more and more of a nuisance over time. It's my only computer, and it's my intention to only have the one laptop in my lifestyle going forward, and hauling it around has become a larger nuisance than I expected when I bought it.
My original logic was, "ok, only computer, so biggest screen and speakers so that it can have as much presence as a standalone device as possible." Which carried a lot of weight at the time of the decision because I consume media on it a lot.
I came to it from a M1 MBA. I can tolerate the screen and speaker downgrades to get that easy portability back, I think. And the trade in covers a lot of the cost of the configuration I would be going with on the MBA. I'd rather be leaving my larger backpack at home (the only bag I have that fits my 16" MBP) and going back to my sling bag that I used for the years where I was rocking iPad Pro and then the former MBA as my main computers.
In the scenario where I move forward with the trade, anyone know if Apple wants me to remove stickers/decals before trading in, or are they cool with taking care of it in their refurb process? It's not that it would be hard to do but I am hoping to just go to the nearest Apple Store and walk out with the new MBA same-day instead of adding the (free) shipping steps to the process.

You'll want to remove those first, you'll get dinged a bit in your trade value if you don't.
Can do, thanks for the heads up!
I might save money and just opt for an M2 MBA too. I really do not need a lot of power (and M1 Pro was the lowest I could go on the original MBPs from the Apple Silicon rollout).
Does anyone else have an issue with Safari on mobile constantly crash or reloading some site pages? Like it's neigh impossible for me to browse IGN on mobile. I'll be halfway down an article and the page will just crash and reload, taking me back to the top. It happens on era too.
I have a 16 pro, latest updates and all that so it's not because anything is old. Is there some setting maybe I have on that's just breaking constantly?

Same here. No, you don't have any special setting on. It's just Safari.
Yup. Same thing here. Safari sucks. Can't wait for other browser engines to become available.
That said, try using an ad blocker. Though those are becoming less useful as sites make you whitelist to view them now.
There were some rumours around of both Mozilla and Google working on proper versions of their browsers for iOS due to some repositories being created for them back when the whole EU stuff was annouced. I truly expected them to be ready for lauch, at the very least on the Chromium side, so I don't really know what happened in that regard.
Has anyone ever sold/ traded in an iPad?
I have a 12.9" M1 Pro with the Magic Keyboard and Pencil. I got it right when it came out and was basically using it as a laptop replacement for awhile. I no longer need it for that, and I want to get the 11" version of this new one, the 12.9" is a bit big and heavy for how I'm currently using it.
I've sold smaller stuff like games on Facebook marketplace and Craigslist. I don't really feel 100% comfortable meeting a stranger to sell someone worth hundreds of dollars. I know Apple does trade-ins, though I think they'd only take the iPad, not the accessories. And there's other trade-in services. Curious if there's options with a good reputation.
