Apple

I am looking for a good tutorial that explains how I can turn my older Mac mini into a NAS. I need something that’s easy to understand -ELI5 kind of style please. Long time Apple user but that seems daunting. Any ideas where to find some info?!

Security Update voor iOS, iPadOS & macOS.

Does anyone know what this is? I was checking my Screen Time for today and scrolled all the way to the bottom just to bump into this.

This makes me curious

I had been using wefwef as an Apollo refugee, but it just wasn’t very consistent. Likely due to the webapp experience.

This morning I checked the AppStore for any Lemmy apps like I do every morning and to my delight I saw something. I have only spent an hour or so using it, but it feels very good for a new release.

It’s definitely not Apollo, but it also shouldn’t try to be.

Hi - Hoping someone's come across this before and can offer some suggestions.

I have a range of workshops I'm running next week for a customer. I'll be in the room with my Mac, projecting to a screen, showing various documents and websites.

I'm trying to find some software I can use that will:

• Record my screen
• Record the audio in the room
• Transcribe the audio (cloud service is fine) and ideally recognise different voices that I can label later
• Provide a synchronised means of searching the transcript and then playing back the audio and video at that time

On initial view there are many options however most of them want to integrate with zoom or teams or a video conference service... which I don't want to do.

The closest I've found is BackTrack - which seems ok however the transcription doesn't identify different speakers. I've tried Riverside.fm also however for the transcription to work each user has to be logged in and recording which isn't going to work in this instance.

So - i'm looking for suggestions on anything you might have used that does what I'm looking for.

At first glance, this looks incredibly similar to something like the desktop of the Apple Lisa or early Mac OS. It’s easy to see why people might think that Apple sort of stole the graphical user interface from it’s rich neighbor Xerox. It’s not true, though.

I am looking for using open source software as much as possible. The posted link is a nice source for open source software for the iphone. Unfortunately there are a lot of apps you have to build. I read that you need mac for this. I own an iphone, ipad and watch but no mac mini or apple laptop. I only have linux and windows. So what would be the lowest budget way to buy a device where i can build those iOS apps? I guess a refurbished or used mac mini? What are the minimum requirements? Do you have recommendations?

The question is in subj. Recently switched to Apple infrastructure and witch my attention span got a problem. When I left my watch behind I would like my phone to remind me of that. Can I do it?

Anyone here in the beta and how is it running? With the release of beta 2 is there anything new with this or general fixes etc?

Debating testing it out now that 2 is here.

That’ll be $99 please

I wanted to share with the community an iOS shortcut I created to remove exif metadata from images - Remove Image Metadata.

To use the shortcut, select photos, select the share button, and then select the shortcut name. The shortcut will remove the exif data from each selected image, and save them as new images with new names.

I use this shortcut before uploading images to apps and websites so the images do not include metadata identifiers for my device. The screenshot with the post was generated using the shortcut.

If anyone has suggestions for improvements, please let me know.
