arthurmorgan··on Last.fm turns 20
Try removing and re-adding the connection. This occasionally happens to me too.
arthurmorgan··on Ask HN: What's your checklist for when you hand your laptop in for repair?
Maybe I'm naive but shouldn't it be enough to encrypt your disk with FileVault? Of course assuming that you don't hand over your password to the technician. Also logging out of iCloud would remove the option to e.g. lock or wipe the device remotely.
arthurmorgan··on iPhone 14: Cheapest Country to Buy in 37 Countries
It depends. If you've bought your device from Apple, defects will be covered by them in this 2-year period. At least this was my experience in Germany. Two times I encountered a very helpful Genius that issued a repair although my 1-year warranty was up.
arthurmorgan··on AirPods Pro (2nd Generation)
Mine got replaced in the store. Online support wasn't as helpful.
arthurmorgan··on AirPods Pro (2nd Generation)
I have the same issue(s) on my third set of earpods and second case. It has gotten to a point where I don't want to buy another set of Apple headphones because I'm afraid this will happen again one day or another.
arthurmorgan··on Use TouchID to Authenticate Sudo on macOS
Azure DevOps.
arthurmorgan··on M2 MacBook Air scores higher on Windows 11 GeekBench than pricier Dell laptop
Are you sure about that it is not Windows for ARM?
arthurmorgan··on Apple’s Self Service Repair now available
My local Apple Store replaced my battery in <1h for ~70€. Maybe that's fast enough for you.
arthurmorgan··on Extracting WhatsApp Messages from an iOS Backup
Image Capture constantly freezes for me and isn't able to skip duplicates anymore.
arthurmorgan··on Ask HN: What methods do you use to focus and stay relaxed?
Listening to DJ sets (HÖR [0] is great) helped me with programming and other work related tasks quite well. My mind magically switches to focus mode :).

arthurmorgan··on AirPods don't “just work”
I regret getting my AirPods Pro. I have them for two years now and went through 2 cases and 4 earbuds. The quality just does not match the expectation and price tag. My Sony headphones work like on the first day after 3 years, however they don't share the same form factor. :) I wonder how the WF-1000XM4 perform especially in combination with iOS.
arthurmorgan··on Ask HN: 1Password Alternatives
If you don't want to use the cloud KeepassXC on macOS and KeePassium or Strongbox on iOS are probably your best choice. Personally I'm happy with using Bitwarden, which you can self-host.
arthurmorgan··on MacBook Pro 14-inch and MacBook Pro 16-inch
Is the CPU actually faster on the entry level? Both M1 and the M1 Pro have 8 cores.
arthurmorgan··on All my servers have an 8 GB empty file on disk
It's a really bad problem on iOS where a full disk won't allow you to delete anything and a reboot puts your phone in a boot loop.
arthurmorgan··on PyTorch 1.8, with AMD ROCm support
This still won't work with a RX 580 right? It seems like ROCm 4 doesn't support that card.
arthurmorgan··on WhatsApp gives users an ultimatum: Share data with Facebook or stop using app
On iOS you can't export chats anymore if you're located in Germany.

arthurmorgan··on GitHub blocks entire company because one employee was in Iran
Was the employee logged in with the organization account? When I visited Iran my personal and work account got locked but the org account was untouched.
arthurmorgan··on Visualizing Git Concepts with D3
It worked for me after reloading and turning off uBlock. Maybe you also need to reload a few times.
arthurmorgan··on I Hate My MacBook
The cooling on the Air is worse as there's no heatpipe from the processor to the fan. If you care about performance I'd suggest you probably should take a look at the Pro.
arthurmorgan··on I Replaced My MacBook Pro with a Raspberry Pi 4 8GB for a Day
This video should give you a good overview about what's possible with the RPi4 and iPad Pro. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IR6sDcKo3V8
