Apple

I guess I don't know your end goal, but your first post was additional storage.

There is nothing easier than just having it be a drive plugged in while your normal/internal drive is running macOS and dragging/dropping stuff onto the hard drive. Making it a bootable drive means you have separate macOS that neither will see each other to drag and drop from.

 

Yeah, I realize they are two different things. I decided to give the bootable drive a shot and am just confused by the error I’m getting. If I can’t get it to work, I’ll just change gears back to using it as just storage.

it might be the dfu port that you're plugged into, otherwise just make sure you are formatting it for macOS before trying to install

 

Do text messages no longer show up on CarPlay anymore on ios18?

 

I saw the text notification pop up today when using CarPlay. I’m on iOS 18.4.1. I never use CarPlay to view or reply to texts though so I can’t say if that part of it is bugged.

If you only need storage then making it a bootable drive makes zero sense to me. Just reformat it and be done with the exercise. I know this is like a week late and you probably resolved it by now.

 

maybe it reset your notification settings. Under notifications -> messages you can turn off CarPlay.

 

I rarely use CarPlay so my stuff is all default

 

they do but its a bit janky since the update, at least in my experience

 

we are what, two years from the announcement of the Apple Vision Pro? I have never seen one in public and don't know a single person that owns one.

 

Like every new thing. Hate it until youre use to it. Then bitch about it when they change it in 2 years.

Life of an Apple user

 

apple forgot the #1 rule in tech, normal people don’t want to look like absolute dorks in public.

 

many ball knowers said the same thing 24 months ago

 

same thing happened with Google Glass

 

people said same the same shit about airpods when they released. wearable tech like that just hasn't found a hold yet and vision pro is fucking expensive.

 

airpods are discrete. stop it

 

that's also the first beta

it will change by september

 

If it cost like $1500 instead of $3500, I’d consider one.

 

perhaps, but you'd definitely be hesitant because you'd be nervous about looking like a goober

 

You don’t have to wear them outside.

 

lol nobody said that about AirPods. All the memes were just about how easy they were gonna be to lose.

 

you're also not supposed to

 

Maybe the VR stuff will take off but I just don’t see it unless there’s some major improvement. Apples seems like it’s on the right track (if it ever even becomes good) but I’m not shelling out $3,000 when a laptop, phone and AirPods are cheaper.

 

We getting new air pods anytime soon? I’m tired of my left one squeaking

 

I got the new Powerbeats Pro 2 recently and man do they suck for sound. I love the over-the-ear set-up but the sound is meh, at absolute best.

 

Maybe I’m just old, but it doesn’t seem that innovative or necessary.

 

Why did they change to iOS 26 when the current is 18?

 

to have all the different OS (watch, mac, phone, tv, vision) on the same number

 

You’re memory holing how many people said they looked stupid and that they didn’t want long sticks coming out of their ears, and that they were fucking expensive. That obviously went away quickly once they were released and gained widespread adoption.

 

Bluetooth headphones had been around for quite a while before airpods. Don't think people cared about .5 inches of stick hanging out of the ear vs. an entire goggle strapped to your face

 

I’m not saying AirPods vs Vision Pro is a direct comparison, that’s dumb.

Once the use case is figured out (which it seems no one is close to figuring out, and the bar is a lot higher for something that goes in your face/eyes) then adoption will follow. Just like it has for other tech. Sorry yall don’t know ball.

 

why are you arguing about vision pro when you aren't supposed to wear it on the streets

 

it would be insane to see someone wearing any type of VR headset in public

that is not exclusive to the vision pro

 

3D TVs didn’t take off because people didn’t want to wear 3D glasses in the privacy of their own homes.

Plus a good amount of people get motion sickness while using products like these. Idk if it will ever take off.

 

I saw a guy at the airport earlier wearing the apple VR and he looked like a complete idiot

 

All it takes for you is to go by and go pffffffff and he’d never wear it again

 

Once they get them to contact lens size, it’ll really take offf

 

A nation full of cybertrucks begs to differ
