Re: Spotlight Replacement

Andrew, yes, FAF will search the container directories of cloud storage services that are normally located on your boot disk. There is an advanced option (hidden by default) that will let you choose to search on whether an item is “dataless” (i.e. downloaded) or not, but the default will include

For password manager, I use Strongbox on both macOS and iOS. These use the KeePass format (KDBX), for which there exist tools and libraries for all platforms. I don’t know what an Android user would use, but on Windows you’d use KeePass (the original .net app, with plug-ins as desired). Why lea

Hey Mark, It’s worth reading the Applevis list of bugs, but, other than the issue with VO not speaking the keyboard when you are first asked to sign in after the update, there are only a couple of little things I have noticed. And the sign-in bug doesn’t seem to always happen. I would just su

Mark’s New Apple Watch Ultra II, Waiting To Exhale

Hello All, Well, the other day, I went to the Apple store and purchased an Apple Watch Ultra, II. This particular store does not currently have any 16 Pro Max phones in stock. I have yet to update my beloved 14 Pro Max to iOS 18 as I am waiting for 18.01 / 18.1 to be released. So, as I began

Lidar is available only on Pro and Pro Max iPhones. It was introduced 4 years ago, with the iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max models. - Brad - On Sep 28, 2024, at 11:42, rashantha wrote: I believe lidar was on previous iPhone as well. Get Outlook for Android From: macvisiona

Re: How much does having Lidar on my phone actually matter?

Lidar is an extremely useful feature that can be utilized by blind individuals in many ways. The iPhone Pro models include native utilities such as people, distance and door detection, and the new Scene Detection offered in iOS 18. Apps such as the free SeeingAI, have been taking advantage of Lid

RE: How much does having Lidar on my phone actually matter?

I'm in the same boat as Donna, and I actually have a slightly more basic question: What actually could a blind person use LIDAR for? I've tried to look for some specifics but not coming up with anything. Pete De Vasto -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com On Behalf

A 2015 MacBook Air is considered obsolete by Apple, and is no longer supported. I think Monterrey is as far as you can go with it. You cannot update any farther. - Brad - On Sep 28, 2024, at 10:59, Jonathan Cohn wrote: I highly recommend that you attempt to find the funds to buy a Macintosh

Re: How much does having Lidar on my phone actually matter?

First of all, the size difference between the iPhone 16 and the 16 Pro is negligible, and you won’t notice the difference unless you put one up along side the other, so I wouldn’t give that any consideration. Secondly, as for Lidar, that depends on you, and how you plan to use your device. If y

Re: Passwords and Passkeys

I highly recommend that you attempt to find the funds to buy a Macintosh that does not have an Intel chip. Walmart was selling M1 MacBook Airs for under $600 a bit ago. But there is no easy way to push a 10 year old Macintosh to the current OS. Good luck! Jonathan > On Sep 25, 2024, at 12:25 

How much does having Lidar on my phone actually matter?

Hi all, So, just tossing this out there for discussion. I’m about to upgrade to the iPhone 16, and am trying to decide whether I really need the Pro. I’m very attracted to the smaller size of the iPhone 16, and I’m wondering how much Lidar really matters? Thoughts anyone? Cheers, Donna -- T
