  • Thinking about switching teams from a Surface Book 2 (13.5"/i7/8/256) to an Air M1
    Nope. You can configure it with 16GB and up to 2TB SSD on apple.com. Source: about 3 years ago
  • Passing parameters as query string in URL using Alamofire 5?
    Swift AF.request("https://apple.com).responseData { response in // Do something with data. }. Source: about 3 years ago
  • Am I the only one who immediately thought about a mixed reality headset seeing this image?
    The WWDC image on the apple.com homepage shows a few random Memoji people..keep refreshing the page to see them. All of them are wearing glasses and one of them has a hearing aid that can be seen since he has short hair. I think this points to an accessibility update. Source: about 3 years ago
  • Stuck at Activation Lock, unable to figure out Apple ID?
    The error you are seeing in the image above is because as you said, she does not have an apple.com rather she has a gmail.com account that she set her Apple ID up on. That shouldn't matter, when I got my 5s years ago, I did the same thing, then later switched my Apple ID to apple.com account though that account is linked to my gmail.com account still.

  • Use connector to keep using webhost mail service, possible?
    You can specify as many servers as you want with the same MX priority. For example, just take a peek at the MX records of apple.com, blackberry.com, or boeing.com. And then, each of the FQDN's specified by MX could resolve to multiple A records / IP Addresses as well.... Ie microsoft.com... Source: about 3 years ago

  • Thincast Remote Desktop Client 1.0.268 released on Snapcraft!
    Thincast Remote Desktop Client is a free multi-platform RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) Client. This might also be very interesting for macOS enthusiasts, as the amazing CoRD project was discontinued in April last year. It comes with a variety of modern features and can be integrated very easily into your existing infrastructure. Source: over 2 years ago
  • What is the best RDP client to use on macOS?
    That is true. I did try it out but somehow it is still slow compared to native client running on Windows. In my search I have found the application from the FreeRDP guys and it runs so much smoother. Source: over 2 years ago
