My xr and random capture software are fine here, not perfect but serviceable, NDI hates latency so you need to have good wifi to use it on wireless. FYI the HX variant used on the apps is limited to 1080p/30 so even if you have a iphone 11 you are not getting 4k out of that.

bobfather posted:Make sure to bring a power cable. I think it ate about 20% of the battery in as many minutes. NDI is a h264 stream so your phone is recording the camera/audio, encoding it and then sending it over your home wifi. It will take a lot of processing power to pass the feed to your pc, if you plan to use it as a webcam, you are not going to be inceonvenienced much by the power cable once you set it up.

Arcsech posted:I've also seen some folks theorizing that Sony/MS are going to start enforcing rules about optimization/compression/overall game size to prevent the you-can-only-have-one-game-installed effect of ginormous games. I don't know if that'll happen, but I could see them maybe leaning on the worst offenders a bit, especially if they start getting media heat about it. Next gen Xbox has a new proprietary format to expand memory so having smaller games goes against their licensed memory card sales. Dunno about ps5 but last two gens had user replaceable storage and it was one of the features fans loved the most, so I’m expecting ps5 storage to be a generic m.2 ssd easily swappable.

I keep the files on the device to a minimum exactly to avoid this scenario. Try offloading media to a pc more often, I got a NAS system to store my photos and movies so i routinely offload stuff there and i rarely have more than one virtual folder shown on file explorer.

Is there some way to get files and photos from the phone to a computer it is physically plugged into without needing to loving send them over the Internet? Photos are shown only if the computer is authorized(unlock the phone and you will see a popup). Generic files on the other hand you are better off moving them to a file locker service(onedrive/google drive/dropbox/etc.) using the files app.

It looks like there's no easy way to do this, but if anyone will know, they'll be on our trusty, beloved, stalwart SA (may it respond to ping forever). Nope, the best you can do is saving the attachments via android file manager and message history in text format (that cannot be reimported) over whatsapp proper. Moving from android to iOS and losing all whatsapp history is what made me push for all my friends to move to other platforms(like telegram) where platform migration is not that disruptive.

I don't think we have any recent laptops in our work fleet without at least a single usb-c for the last four years. This drought of possible usb-c ports sounds like the usual ai goon "Why do the car maker not make any new cars like i want? Cause you want to buy used in five to ten years and never buy new", which is exactly the mac scenario here as there are no usb-a only macs that are not in a vintage status. If you have your house full of usb-a ports (and somehow you have burned all your old lightning cables in a pyre) you can buy a three pack of usb-a to lighting cable from anker/aukey for a song.

FYI if you had issues with optimized charging on your phone after iOS 14, i've solved it on mine with these steps -upgrade to 14.2 -turn charge management off -reboot device -turn charge management on turning charge management off and on without a reboot only refreshes the settting pane, no effect on the charge logic.

A local electronics store (mediamarkt) is selling Powerbeats pro at 189€ , what is the thread consensus? Are they good quality? I'd love to get some AirPods Pros but i'm fairy confident i would lose/break them in a day during normal usage so the ear brackets should hold them in place. Reviews tends to show weak audio quality so i'm a tad worried about buying tinny bass boosted audio at big bucks

Flash Gordon Ramsay posted:Homekit compatible smart thermostat recommendations? Also is there a homekit thread? If you are in Europe Netatmo is a decent pick as long as you don’t have to rely on their valves, I have both and the valves are the weak link of the whole ecosystem. Thermostat works a treat, the valves are a pain in the rear end. Netatmo made the valve battery compartment too deep so the battery move around due to vibration and you get a lot of false notifications of dead batteries or broken valves, reseat the batteries and it works again, during winter I need to reseat batteries every three days or so.

Well i was expecting them but bought a set of airpods pro on black friday, so you guys can thank me later. The command set is a bit passè imho, the volume "digital crown" is tacky as gently caress and the folding system is a bit bad(rather than fold on themselves, they fold flat meaning they occupy a fuckload of space).

Henrik Zetterberg posted:$ For a bit whoever buys one will get insta mugged, esp as AirPods don’t have anti-theft disable like an iPhone. It’s a design too distinctive(I would call it awful but that’s subjective) to not get noticed by thieves. For whoever says buy any other brand of Bluetooth audio, I have used bt headphones since A2DP was new and both enroll and usage has been various degrees of success(ranging from abysmal to barely decent). With the AirPods Pro I just got, I had more troubles getting to reliably hit the control buttons and to have them upgrade firmware (for enabling spatial audio) than to link devices or change iOS device to listen to. There is a distinct quality of life improvement, as long as you stay in Apple's walled garden, but even then at this price I feel like these AirPods cans will end up as mk.1 HomePod, decent product put at a too high/unrealistic price bracket. Also given that Sony has just announced to shut down their Japanese audio device fab you should evaluating getting your Sony-branded BT devices now, best case scenario quality will decrease as they outsource production or worse shut down the product line entirely.

I am not sure whether it’s new with the iPhone 12 or with iOS 14, but I keep having my volume randomly turned down because my iPhone thinks I’m listening to music full blast with in ear headphones. I have that issue too. The weirdest thing is it does it only on my Bluetooth car audio and not on my AirPods or my headphones with the lightning to jack adapter, thankfully my car stereo is loud enough to compensate but still stupid I can’t disable it in any way.

Before I go crazy trying to fix that, just wanna confirm, would the iCloud backup copy over saved passwords (from the phone to the iPad)? That's the main thing she cares about. iPhone backups cannot be restored to an iPad, they count as stand alone devices iCloud wise. If passwords are all you care about, you need to verify that iCloud keychain is active and working.

It was already there for adding the EU vax data in health(i think 15.3), 15.4 just added a vax data -> wallet automation (which is better than the coupon covidpass made, since the qr code is slightly bigger). Tried this morning and it has zero documentation on apple web sites, health app or wallet. You need to open up the camera or photo library, do the ocr thing on the qr code and let it be imported into health. The wallet coupon will be created after health has the data successfully imported.

Just a hint for european users, health will decode and put the data in the correct categorization depending on the type of eu covid pass, meaning vax will end up in vax category and covid infection cleared will end up in diagnosis. Only vax will generate a wallet item so if you only have a infection cleared qr code you will not get the wallet pass.

My spare phone that went in with an improv battery replacement years ago still looks like someone used ice picks rather than guitar picks so, making those semiauto display removal kit more common(because sure as hell that kit will be copied shortly and sold on aliexpress) is a win already. If you take a look at the guides for the procedures provided by apple, those machines makes it possible to hand the parts to the same clueless idiots depicted on video and make repeteable acceptable results. Something that handing the same crowd a ifixit spudgers kit, a spare screen and a hair dryer sure as hell won't.
