Is my iPad broken

A couple months ago I dropped my iPad from my dorm bed and these spots showed up across the bottom (old pic) but there weren’t any issues besides that. Tonight it fell from the bed again and now it won’t turn on. I’ve held the power and home buttons and nothing :((((( should I take it to an Apple Store ?

My 2018 MacBook Pro won’t update anymore

I have a 2018 MacBook Pro, it needs to be updated but when I tried it didn’t work and now it’s stuck in a constant loop. I need it for work and am really hoping there’s something that can be done so it’s not just a paperweight. When I try and update it will download the update, say installing and then restart and it’s right back where it started. I tried doing recovery mode and now it ...

iOS 26 broke my CarPlay audio on iPhone 16 Pro Max (NO mic or speaker output). Apple Support has been a months-long diagnostics loop. 2023 Nissan Rogue + AppleCare+

I’m making this post because I’m honestly out of options and I want this documented publicly. I’ve been dealing with this for months and Apple Support has become a never-ending loop of “send diagnostics again” with no resolution. Car: 2023 Nissan Rogue Phone: iPhone 16 Pro Max Connection: Wired CarPlay (USB-C) AppleCare+: Yes When it started: Immediately after updating to iOS 26 St...

Shadyside vs Lawrenceville/Bloomfield

Hi all, I’m (26M) moving to Pittsburgh in a few months and originally concluded Shadyside would be my ideal neighborhood. My work will be split between CMU campus and Bakery Square, so getting an apartment essentially a mile from each of those spots is definitely appealing for walk/bikeability to work. However, based on some more research (both on this subreddit and elsewhere), I feel like Sha...

what on planet earth is my mac doing

so my mac’s getting relatively old by this point—got it in july of 2020–but it still runs pretty well, including the battery. i haven’t used it in a couple of days (have had it off, closed, on the ground, not plugged in), and opened it up today only to see a screen time notification saying my usage is up 199% this week (????). the attached photo is my activity logs this week.

Brand new MacBook Air 13 M4 – keyboard feels cheap and inconsistent

Hey everyone, I bought my first ever MacBook a week ago (M4 Air 13", 24GB RAM, 512GB SSD), and while I love the performance, I’m really concerned about the keyboard quality. Straight out of the box, the keys feel kind of "cheap" and loose. They make a crunchy/rattling sound even when I just lightly move my fingers across them without fully pressing down. On top of that, the key ...

Not receiving messages

I was trying to send a 5 minute long video to a friend, it prepared the iCloud link and wouldn’t send. I went into settings under send & receive and made it send from my iCloud and unchecked my phone number, it worked. Now I can’t receive any messages on my phone when someone messages my phone number. When I text someone it comes from my iCloud email even though I switched it back. If...

TechWoven Black on Deep Blue 17PM

I wanted to show better pictures of the Black Techwoven case on the Deep Blue 17 Pro Max! I honestly love the feel and look of this case, it was definitely worth the wait to me (it’s been out of stock for a while at the Apple Store near me)! The black and blue colors were literally neck and neck to me but I went with the black… needless to say I may also have to get one in blue as well 😫

Lost and Found pen cases Using NFC

Aside from fountain pens, one of my other hobbies includes fiddling with technology. I recently learned to program automations with **NFC (Near Field Communication)** and realized this is a perfect "safety net" for our fountain pen community. We all love our pens and carry them in our pen cases, and our journals often hold items that are irreplaceable. While we usually rely on a "R...

response to app store review

The Benjamin team finally responded to my apple store review, response in the pic included. I was curious what reviews are still up and being responded to, because Im pretty sure they deleted a previous review for being too negative. While looking through reviews i noticed the team is responding to a lot within the last day, claiming theyve moved our issues forward without even emailing us about...

I made a Japanese Kanji learning app

I wasn't satisfied with most of the kanji learning apps on the apple store, so I decided to give it a shot myself. if you're a Japanese learner and have an iphone, please check it out, it's called Maneki Kanji! The idea is to learn through vocabulary, and it features 6700 voiced vocabulary and covers 2140 kanji. It breaks them down by components for easier learning, with custom mnemonic support, f...

Why I lock tasks that contain information I can’t afford to lose

I built this behaviour into my own system because I kept losing important details, not reminders. The real failure wasn’t missing the task, it was accidentally deleting the task that held phone numbers, reference codes, notes, and files I actually needed. So in GoTodo I treat those tasks like documents, not checklist items. The moment a task contains anything I’d be angry to lose, I lock it. I...

Having an app remember item locations

This is really a cool new feature for tracking home inventory. Rather than manually typing each item name and location, this cool new feature just lets you take a picture and then AI figures out what kind of clutter you have :) This makes it really easy to find things later on. The iOS app has 30 days free trial and then $1.99/month. Please give it a try and see if you find it useful. Here is th...

I got dipped buying Apple Airpods.

I did my due diligence and used the Apple website to check the serial number. I checked the serial number on the Apple AirPods by connecting them to my phone. I did everything that there was to make sure that they were real and everything checked out except that they use valid serial numbers and use the same ones over and over again. Apple knows this, but they are not making consumers aware of it...

Do you guys think it would help me to renew my photoshop and illustrator certification so I could put it in my portfolio to try to get an apprenticeship?

For reference, once I’m closer to being done putting a portfolio together, I plan to get cpr and blood borne pathogen certified so I can put it in my portfolio. I have been doing graphic design for years, but my certification recently expired if that’s the right word? I could easily pass them again, but was wondering if it would do anything by putting it in my portfolio? I wonder this becau...
