Does the lock screen on the iPhone require you to hit the home button to hit passcode screen? It's been driving me nuts on the Air 1, and I haven't updated my phone yet.

 

yup. doesn't bother me that much

 

Yes. Drives me nuts. Especially when I'm working out and I go to unlock my phone to enter my weight/reps/sets for each lift and there's sweat on my thumb so it won't unlock, and then I'll tap the button and it still won't unlock sometimes.

 

You can turn on the ability to rest your finger on the button, instead of having to physically press it.

 

oh fuck. this is new news to me lol

 

Settings > General > Accessibility > Home Button > Rest Finger to Open

 

thanks!

 

must be an IOS10 thing right? I only have click speed - /default/slow/slowest lol

 

Oh yeah, iOS 10 only

 

don't have 3D Touch but I thought this was really cool and had no idea this could be done...

Nice! Are there any other major apps utilizing dark mode?

Forgive my ignorance, I'm new to dark mode.

 

damn now i have to re-download twitter

 

Yo, for real, iMessage on the computer is like the best fucking thing ever, haha. /yearsbehind

 

So the cat bit into my earbuds, anyone know if I can get them replace at the Apple Store? Got the phone in December

 

Hey guys, i'm looking for some legitimate software that will speed up my late 2011 macbook pro. I don't mind spending a few bucks. Thanks if anyone can help!

 

You should be able to but if anything you can find them cheap on eBay. I've bought from this seller twice and both times they were authentic (there's plenty of fake ones out there marked as authentic but just open a case and you'll get a full refund if it happens).

I don't know about software, MacOS/OSX is pretty good about self-cleaning and efficient. A new SSD and maxing out your RAM will make a world of difference though. It's pretty easy to do yourself. A couple of screws, removing the HDD and RAM, putting in the new HDD/RAM, and restoring your timemachine backup.

 

Okay thank you, what would be the best way to go about purchasing an SSD and RAM?

 

Check to see which type of RAM your computer takes
Order the max amount from Amazon and a decent sized SSD from there too

 

Would just the ram make a difference? I was gonna replace the 4GBs of ram with 16. And it's as simple as unscrewing the bottom and replacing it?

 

OWC's Support

They have really good install videos on how to do it. Upgrading the ram will make a difference, but I think moving to an SSD, if you aren't already on one, is one of the best ways to actually feel the speed.

A bit. If you had to choose between the two I'd probably go with an SSD to be honest. The article I linked to has instructional videos at the bottom and then Jason's link above as them too. If I remember right on my old '10 macbook pro, the tab for the release on the RAM can be a bit finicky. But other than that, yeah, just a few screws, pop them out, pop the new ones back in, screw the bottom plate back up, and boot up.

 

Okay cool.

I was going to get this for the RAM https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008LTBJK2/?tag=absolutepunk-20

Are the SSD's pretty much universal to all macbook models? Or do I have to find the ones compatible with a late 2011 macbook pro?

 

Pretty sure they're specific, but I don't know to be honest... I just bought from OWC when I upgraded Hannah's computer. They break it down by the model and year.

Crucial has really good ratings from what I remember.
