    Samsung Galaxy OLED G9 - anyone have this with their silicon MacBook?

    As per the thread title. Got a brilliant deal on this monitor and it seemed liked a great option as I have two MacBooks (work + home) so the side by side display ability if required is great. There's a 20+ page thread on the issues with two MacBooks and Apple Studio Display so that along with...

    iPhone 16 Pro Why the iPhone is still state-of-the-art. And better.

    I want to take up the cudgels for the iPhone and what it can do. Most people won't know me, but very briefly: I'm annoyed by the high prices, I'm annoyed by how Apple no longer thinks many functions through or deliberately leaves them unfinished. But in comparison, Apple continues to be very...

    Any advantages over good smart TV?

    I have a decent Samsung with smart tv that has every app I need, EXCEPT F1TV. Are there any other advantages of AppleTV over Samsung smart tv? 1 app is a weak argument to buy it for 1/4 of minimal salary in my country, especially since I can cast it from my phone via AirPlay (even if it works...

    MP 7,1 Boot/Log in screen Resolution on Samsung Monitor

    Hi, as per the title. The boot and log in screen are really low resolution and can't seem to find any way to resolve this. Tried reinstalling Mac OS via Recovery and no joy. Tried VRAM reset but no joy. Can't seem to do a PRAM reset, Mac just boots as normal. A contributing factor may be I'm...

    Samsung T7 Shield SSD - Samsung Portable SSD Software - Proprietary Encryption

    I recently purchased a Samsung T7 Shield SSD, and was surpised to find out there is Samsung's own proprietary security software installed. I don't know what encryption this is using, but I see from Disk Utility that the drive is format to Master Boot Record using ExFat. The advantage of this...

    Mac Mini M2 Pro Monitor

    I’m purchasing a new Mac Mini M2 Pro and I’m just not sure what monitor to buy. I’ve already decided to get the Keychron C2 mechanical keyboard (or maybe Logitech MX Mechanical), and the Logitech MXS mouse. I want a wired keyboard. I just don’t trust the wireless stability. I haven’t made my...

    MacBook Pro and Android Phone

    Hey everyone, I want to ask those who are regularly using a MacBook for their work and entertainment, and an Android phone - is it doable? What features do you miss on? I know iPhone is the core of Apple ecosystem and I recently purchased a MacBook as my main device (16inch, M3 Pro) but I just...

    Portable SSD as permanent external storage for my Mac Studio

    I need reasonably fast external storage for my Mac Studio and am sort of new to this as before I had all my drives internally in an old Mac Pro (6 drives in total...). For now I do not want to go with the most expensive options due to budget concerns and I also do not want to "build" it myself...

    iPhone 14/Plus iPhone 14 Plus won't charge with Samsung fast-charging adapter(EP-T1510)

    Hi, I bought an iPhone 14 Plus a few days ago and since I own fast-charging adapter from my previous Samsung phone, I didn't see the need to buy a new one. However, when I plug it in, the iPhone keeps to stop and start charging, like every second and never gets over 11%. Is it like incompatible...

    Tab S9 Cellular

    Looking for some insight from any current Tab S8 owners. I am totally in the Apple Ecosystem, but have been looking at the Tab S9+, as it would actually be a great work companion. Being only used to iPad (this would replace my cellular 12.9 iPad Pro), I had a few questions, specifically for...

    Unfold your world

    Samsung are using the marketing tagline “Unfold Your World” for their foldable phone. I’m confused; if the marketing is to unfold it what’s the point of it? My iPhone is already unfolded 😂

    OWC Envoy Express is kneecapping my Acasis drive

    Setting up and testing my new (refurbed) base Mac Mini M2 Pro I ran across a head scratcher that appears to point to the OWC enclosure as the culprit. I have two Acasis TBU405 enclosures each with a 2TB Samsung 970 EVO. The OWC has a Silicon Power 2TB. My plan was to use the SP NVME in the OWC...

    Other iPhone with 3D spatial video and photo

    After reading the post from https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/apple-vision-pro-captures-3d-spatial-videos-and-photos.2391916/, I think Apple would be smart to bring this feature to *all* iPhones and not just the PRO/MAX series. There's something to be said about capturing and being "in the...

    Samsung tv Apple TV+ app

    Anyone else having issues in the UK maybe wider with the app loading on a Samsung tv. It’s been working great for months and months. But today, I’m just stuck on the logo. Eventually getting a “network unavailable” error. Other apps (Netflix, Disney, bbc) all working as expected. Cheers

    iPhone 14 Pro Blind camera test of iPhone 14 and Samsung S23 Ultra

    I follow this channel cause sometimes it post interesting camera comparisons, I thought I'd share a link with you. For me, with the exception of 3 photos, the choice fell on the iPhone more often.

    Samsung Note 9 - S Pen acting erratic, "dead zone" in the middle of screen.

    I have an old backup Note 9 that was given to me a few years ago. Went to update a few apps earlier today, popped out the S Pen (which I rarely use) - and noticed the issue. Thought the pen was dying or the tip was bad, doesn't seem to be the case. The middle part of the screen simply won't...
