    Am I just stupid that I can't figure out how to change the background picture without setting up the whole lock screen/home appearance from scratch?

    On my iPad (but this also applies to my iPhone), I have a lock screen with a picture and a bunch of lock screen widgets set up, along with an appearance for the home screen (icon size, style, color, dark/light, all that stuff). There is no way to change the background picture. All I can do is...

    Have they finally fixed these two serious problems?

    On iOS 16 and earlier, there are two annoying problems: 1) background apps get blocked. If I upload a big file to Telegram and don't keep the app open, it stops loading. Would staring at a spinning icon while keeping the app in the foreground be productive, according to Apple? 2) When I press...

    What MacOS feature did this? Power Nap or something else? A download started at a cafe, completed while my MBA was still closed but once I got home.

    I was at a cafe downtown trying to download a huge file, but the cafe’s connection was too slow (I was only able to download about 20% of it) so eventually I gave up, closed my M1 Macbook Air and went home. Sometime later (after I had arrived back at home) I opened my backpack, and re-opened my...
