Prime Day deals for Apple gear are still lurking! Your wallet might hate me, but your tech setup will love an M4 MacBook Air from $799, iPad Air M3 from $449, or AirPods 4 from $89. Even the mighty Apple Watch Ultra 3 got a small tap on the price tag.

Is it finally time to ditch that ancient laptop, or are you holding out for Black Friday's mythical discounts? Let's debate!

Macbook bluetooth is so aggressive it's kinda annoying?

It can be in a backpack, in a closet, in low-power mode, in another room... and it'll still take my headset over the three other devices with clear LOS within 1m of where I'm sitting :neocat_googly_blep:

(Ghu knows this wouldn't be the first time Excel starts exhibiting psychotic behavior, thought that's usually reserved for the work account on #Windows.)

I've got "Connected Experiences" turned off—far as I can tell. #MacOS is up to date, also.

This issue is concerning, bc this keyboard was replaced last week. I don't •think• it's the keyboard? Unless it has some new [firmware?] that's colliding with Excel.

All in all, 0/10 Do Not Recommend. 3/3

Continued thread

Except in Excel, the light & the cursor character don't seem to have any correlation with each other, or with whether the capslock is on. Except when clicked into the formula bar. Ish. (Capslock is active as expected, but light & cursor misbehavior seems entirely random.)

As far as I can tell, light & cursor behave normally in MS Word, Chrome, & Textedit. 2/

Okay, this is a new one. Has anybody else run into this?

#Microsoft environment at work today was flakey af. (I smell updates. Or "updates.") Got home, fire up the #MacBook, doing my monthly finances—& I'm getting REALLY flakey behavior from the f'n CAPSLOCK key, of all things. I finally isolate it: apparently it's just #Excel (so far).

The normal behavior: when the capslock is on, the light on the key turns on & the cursor turns into the little shift character. 1/

#MacBook Pro, 16-inch, 2019. 16GB, INTEL.

MacOS 15.7.1.

Seems like since 15.7, the touch button is flaky OR the software is (which, as Steve Jobs knows, never happens). I thought the .1 would fix it, but it didn't.

Only seems to be an issue when I open the lid. Touch ID isn't an option but if I hit return several times, it eventually decides that giving it the finger to log in is OK.

Anyone else seeing this? #JustMe ?

Bloomberg: MacBook Pro M5 this year after all?

For a long time, it was rumored that Apple would not be launching new M5 Macs until next spring. Now there is speculation to the contrary—with a special feature.

Bloomberg: MacBook Pro M5 doch in diesem Jahr?

Lange hieß es, Apple werde neue M5-Macs wohl nicht vor kommendem Frühjahr bringen. Nun gibt es gegenteilige Spekulationen – mit einer Besonderheit.
