I abandoned that idea as soon as they launched their weird crypto-coin stuff.

Also, can we backup our messages yet on iOS?

txr · 2 months ago
Yeah, no backup on iOS is such a huge turnoff. What you live in the real world and lost or damaged your phone? All your messages and pictures you not exported one by one are gone, backups in 2025 no way, who has every been using such a thing? Maybe in 2035.

It's just said that Apple seems to not care. Just to add to this long list:

Open a link from an email on an iPhone or iPad, then go back to Mail by tapping on the top left corner. If you now delete an email, this email gets deleted but the view does not update to move to the next email. If you now hit delete again, you are deleting the next email without noticing it.

NightShift is different (but somewhat related) functionality: it adjusts the color profile to be warmer/reduce blue light. Both can be scheduled to correspond to time of day[light] however.

Oh right, got that mixed up

wow and this is built into macOS now as NightShift right?
txr · 2 years ago
Yes, the OS function works fine. Haven't used the app in a while, just had it still installed. I just found this by searching for "proxy-gw1-europe.squidyproxy.com" which seemed odd when I found it in my .ssh/known_hosts file.

Would love to know more about your battery being halved with FindMy turned on. Have never experienced this nor has anyone I know with it turned on. Although to be fair I don't think I've ever disabled it, so hypothetically my normal battery could be half its potential if your claim is true.

The assumption from the forum discussions is that it has nothing to do with other AirTags as the battery goes back to normal when people remove their AirTag.

I had the tag on my bike which is the basement so 3 floors down. It just barely reached it from my bedroom, still very impressive. The assumption is that it has something to to with the tracking prevention where the iPhone is somehow telling the AirTag that it is still in the vicinity. If the AirTags is at the edge of the receiving/sending radius this might need a lot more power. Maybe due to retransmission, etc and therefor for causes my battery drain over night.

Having Find My enabled is halving my phones battery life.

Also despite having it disable, my phone keeps reminding that my AirPods max are travelling with me and someone may be using the to spy on me…?

I also stopped using my AirTag because of this. The battery drain is just to big. Even with the latest Firmware the problem is still there. The is a still ongoing discussion and no fix from Apple. Sadly the only real solution is disabling Bluetooth or removing the AirTag https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/unusual-find-my-backgro...

I tried GnuCash a long time ago but was not happy how convoluted the UI was, maybe have to give it another try.

After that I switched to MoneyMoney [1] which is just awesome to work with. It is mostly focused on the german market and directly supports import from most major german banks, sadly MacOS only.
