Now pointlessly enhanced with AI
Apple seeds iOS 13 beta 6 build 17A5556d on Wednesday August 7, 2019. I’m feeling brave enough to install this beta on my main device, an iPhone XS Max.
I’ve been running iOS 13 betas on my secondary device, an iPhone X since day 1.
Next up is installing watchOS 6 beta 6 on my Apple Watch.
Can Square confirm this is how you pay for stuff on Apple TV?
So, you thought you have secured your AirDrop settings?
You thought that you allowed “No One” to discover you?
Think again!
p.s. This one has been idling in my repository since Game of Thrones Season 6.
UPDATED:
Add the accidentally deleted “Two-Factor Authentication” bit.
With the release of macOS Mojave 10.14.4, another bug that was originally introduced in 10.14.4 beta. This bug also presents in macOS 10.4.5 beta, iOS 12.2 and iOS 12.3 beta.
Google-hosted G Suite account with Two-Factor Authentication enabled will not be able to log in properly.
When adding a G Suite account you will get a message:
Enter the password for the account “(null)”.
Google requires completing authentication in Safari.
In macOS 10.14.4, to authenticate Google Accounts, Safari opens in Private Browsing Mode.
This bug had been reported multiple times by Apple Developers and Beta testers since the release of macOS 10.14.4 beta 1.
Apple Watch users get different challenges every month to earn badges. My challenge this month is to burn at least 50,400 Calories in 31 Days. That equals to average of 1625.81 Calories a day; as recorded by the Apple Watch.
I received an email on Monday, November 19, 2018 from our local Mazda Dealer that Apple CarPlay® and Android™ Auto available as a dealer-installed update.
One short phone call later, the installation as scheduled for Wednesday, November 21, 2018. As mentioned in the email, the dealer pricing was $399.95 plus tax. I assumed that the pricing includes the $199 for the parts and software, and the labor cost.
I dropped off my 2014 Mazda3 early in the morning and was given a loaner 2018 Mazda3. I was hoping that the loaner Mazda3 would have CarPlay installed, but it did not. I was told that November 21, 2018 was the first day the dealer starts providing the upgrade.
Around 3:00 pm, I received a notification that my car was ready. I left for the dealer to pickup my car. After signing the paperwork and making the payment for the installation, I finally got into my Mazda3.
I connected my iPhone to the newly upgraded 2.1-amp USB port and turned the car on. There it is, Apple CarPlay in my Mazda3.
One thing I noticed is that I also have the latest version of Mazda Infotainment system. According to Mazda, the latest version available for the OS was version 59; my Mazda3 had OS version 55.
After the CarPlay installation, the car now has OS version 70.
I only had Apple CarPlay in my Mazda3 for 2 days. The $399.95 + tax seems a bit high according tony colleagues. To me it is a worthy upgrade.
Mazda models compatible with Apple CarPlay™ and Android™ Auto upgrade:
The retrofit includes installing new software and 2.1-amp USB ports.
When Apple released iOS 12.1 Update on October 29, 2018, it also restored the keyboard layout where the “Numeric Key” and the “Emoji/Language Key” were in place of each other.
Now it looks like the 2018 iPad Pro, we have only the 11-inch model, still has the two keys swapped.
