    Other Saudi Arabia makes USB-C mandatory for electronic devices ahead of iPhone 15

    Now it’s no longer just the E.U. https://9to5mac.com/2023/08/09/saudi-arabia-usb-c-mandatory/ Now we just need some big fines going Apple’s way when they inevitably bastardize it with some new MFi none-sense. We’re probably going to get USB 2.0 speeds from all our current USB-C to USB-C and...

    Do you all think this is safe...

    So we all know that some companies hide their dirt regarding security issues. Given this fact, it is with hesitation that I purchase items that I have had my eye on. I'm hoping to get feedback regarding my concerns as to whether or not I can trust these items for network connectivity, and...

    I am looking for a cable strap that gets attached to the cable (never leaves the cable).

    Hey, I am looking for a cable strap that gets attached to the cable (never leaves the cable). It is basically the strap you usually have with your long laptop charger, it has a hole to attach the cable and a Velcro to tie the strap when needed. I can't find something similar on Amazon.com.

    Mac Studio not sending video signal to monitor after long time off

    I've had a Mac Studio for two weeks now. While I love it, I've come across a couple of issues I'm not too happy about. One was a kernel panic caused by Onedrive, and to me, no matter how bad a program might be, an OS should be strong enough to kill it and not let it bring the whole system down...

    App for measuring charger current

    Hi folks. With the introduction of iPhone 8 and iPhone X, I've been thinking a lot about chargers. I definitely plan to get a Qi charger this fall. I see the new iPhones will charge at 7.5W speeds using Qi. Not only do you need to buy a wireless charging pad that supports that speed, but also...

    Fast Charging Feature?

    If you look through the specs on the website, it mentions fast charging for the new phones. 50% charge in 30 minutes, but I've seen on some of the articles MacRumors has posted that that is only possible through the adapters from the MacBooks? Is that really the only way to take advantage of...

    Solution to hide unsightly Mac Pro cables

    I stumbled upon a fine solution to hide all the unsightly cables attached to my cylinder Mac Pro. I was gifted an old 23 inch cinema display which I took apart for fun. It turns out that the hollow aluminium case makes the perfect platform for the Mac Pro. An old 20 inch cinema display will do...

    iPhone 7 Charging Cable!!

    Does anyone here think that Apple will ship the iPhone 7 with a 2m USB to lightning cable instead of the 1m cable? I have a feeling it could be possible for Apple to do this as the iPad Pro ships with the 2m one. I think it would be amazing if Apple starts shipping the iPhone 7 with the 2m...
