I Fell Into a Machinima Rabbit Hole And I’m Glad I Did

Went looking for GTA machinimas on YouTube, found Rest in Pieces by Alvin Soprano instead. Got hooked. Watched her other Sims 4 machinimas (Drained, Bone-Skinny, Goodbye Mommy.) Each one weird, funny, creepy, or all three. Loved the dry humor, subtle messages, and the odd, haunting vibe. Never played The Sims, still enjoyed it. Wish I’d found her channel before she deleted her older stuff.

Apple's services revenue trajectory more uncertain than ever

Investment firm Morgan Stanley says that the ever-increasing growth of Apple's Services could be over, as search and AI are either a threat — or a boon.Google pays Apple $20 billion annually to be the default search engine on iPhonesAfter Apple's Eddy Cue spoke in court about Google search and the future of the iPhone, all reporting focused on the latter. But analysts at Morgan Stanley suggest that Cue was really very deliberately aiming to help keep the deal with Google going.According to a note to investors seen by AppleInsider, the supposition is that Cue intentionally raised the claim that the number of searches via Safari and Google had dropped. He also specifically revealed that Apple was talking with alternative partners such as Perplexity. Continue Reading on AppleInsider | Discuss on our Forums

How to become an Apple beta tester and test the new software coming at WWDC

How to become an Apple beta tester and test the new software coming at WWDC

MacworldIf you’ve ever wanted to take an early look at new versions of Apple’s operating systems before they launch, and maybe help shape them in the process, then Apple’s beta program is something you should consider. This initiative allows developers and public beta testers to gain access to the updates before they’re released, so they can help test for bugs and give any new features a thorough workout before they’re unleashed on the general public.Apple will reveal the details of the next round of operating system updates at its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), which kicks off with a keynote on Monday June 9 at 10am PT. Soon after the keynote closes the first developer betas of iOS 19, iPadOS 19, watchOS 12, and macOS 16 will arrive and anyone who wants to install them will be able to test them out ahead of the public release in September. In this article, we explain how to get involved with testing the betas, but also point out some of the reasons why you may wish to give it a pass and wait for the final versions to arrive.When will the Apple betas come out?The first developer betas will arrive just after the WWDC keynote on June 10, around noon PT. The first public betas are likely to arrive in early July.Developer beta vs public betaThe developer beta is, as the name suggests, intended for developers only, but Apple does offer a beta testing program for members of the public who would like to try out new features and find bugs. The public beta is slightly safer to use than the developer beta, but we would still suggest caution: don’t install the beta on your only iPhone or your work Mac just in case you encounter problems. Developer Beta: Meant for developers who need to get their apps working on the new operating system. The developer beta arrives immediately following the keynote and usually a day or two before subsequent public betas. You need to be a member of Apple’s developer program to install developer betas, but you don’t need to pay the annual $99 fee anymore to get the beta.Public Beta: Usually a few steps behind the developer beta, which essentially means that the public beta will be slightly more stable. There is usually a slightly longer wait until the first version of the public beta arrives, but once the programs are underway there are usually only a few days between the developer beta being released and the public version arrives.Test that your apps work on the upcoming Apple software.FoundryIs Apple’s beta program free?Apple’s beta program is a chance for volunteers to download a beta version of the new operating system for their device and test it out. Best of all, it’s completely free because even the developer beta no longer requires paid membership. It used to be necessary for developers to sign up for the full Apple Developer Program, which costs $99/£79 a year, but since 2023 you can get the developer beta with a free developer account.How to join Apple’s beta programApple runs a Beta Software program via which you can get beta copies of its operating system software before they are released to the public. The beta testing runs up to the launch of the operating system and then continues with further approximately monthly updates introducing even more new features. If you want to join the program, and you aren’t concerned that the beta software could have bugs that could render your iPhone, iPad, Mac or other Apple product useless, joining Apple’s beta program is really easy. Joining Apple’s developer beta program is a little more complicated than the public beta because you need to register for a free developer account. We’ll run through how to get both the public and developer betas below. How to get a free Apple developer accountThe easiest way to get a free Apple developer account is to follow these steps. On an iPhone download the Apple Developer app from the iOS App Store.Open the Apple Developer app on your iPhone and tap on Account.Select Sign In.Sign in using your usual Apple ID.How to get to the developer betaOnce you are signed in on the developer app follow these steps to see the latest developer beta. Go to Settings > General.Tap on Software Update and you should see Beta Updates as an option.If you don’t automatically see a bata to download, tap on Beta Updates and select the Developer Beta. The same applies to iPadOS, macOS and Apple Watch. Just go to the Software Update section and you will see the available beta versions.Read: How to get the macOS beta and How to get the iOS beta for more advice and details of the latest beta version.FoundryHow to get the public betaThe free public beta testing program is open to anyone with a valid Apple ID (iCloud accounts qualify) who goes to the Apple Beta Software Program page and signs up.To sign up for public betas you’ll need to go to the Apple Beta Software Program site.Select Sign UpSign in with your Apple IDFollow the prompts to register.Once you have registered, getting the beta on your device is easy:FoundryHow to get the iOS/iPadOS betaGot to Settings > General > Software Update. Then turn on Beta Updates and select iOS Developer Beta.How to get the macOS betaOpen System Settings > General > Software Updates on macOS. Then turn on Beta Updates and select watchOS Developer Beta.How to get the watchOS beta In the Watch app on your iPhone, select General > Software Update. Then turn on Beta Updates and select watchOS Developer Beta.How to get the HomePod betaOpen the Home app > Home Settings > Software Update. Then select HomePod Beta Updates and choose the HomePod mini or HomePod (2nd generation) you want to install the beta on.Apple Beta Software Program FAQWhat do I need to do?The idea is that you install the pre-release software and use it as you would your normal OS and send Apple comments through the built-in Feedback Assistant regarding crashes or other behavioral anomalies that you encounter when testing your apps, or when using the software as you would normally.Do you get paid for being an Apple beta tester?No. This is strictly a voluntary pursuit.Is it safe to install the Apple beta?This is an important question especially now that Apple is making the developer beta more widely available. If you rely on your device for work, we recommend waiting until the full version is released in the fall, but otherwise, beta updates are a personal choice.There are a few reasons why becoming a beta tester for the next version of iOS or macOS might seem attractive. First and foremost, they let you try out new features before they’re released, and sometimes features that are never released. Occasionally, Apple will pull a feature that was beta-tested before the general release.Becoming a beta tester also gives you a chance to shape the development of the software. Your feedback, while not necessary, could be invaluable in stopping a bug or just generally improving the quality of the software on your Mac or iPhone. You will be providing a service to others in ensuring that all bugs are ironed out before the final release.However, beta software, by its very nature, is unstable and it’s worth noting that participating in Apple’s Beta Software Program could cause serious problems with your device. You should consider whether it’s right for you before downloading and installing the pre-release software, which is bound to have bugs and issues that could cause things to go spectacularly wrong. This won’t be helped by the fact that Apple does not offer official support for pre-release software.This means that we would heavily advise against putting it on a device upon which you’re reliant. Bugs in the code could see the device stop working at any moment or in rare cases it could actually “brick” your machine until the next beta update arrives. It’s best to install the beta on an older device if you have one. If you don’t have a spare Mac on hand you should consider installing the macOS beta on a separate volume or running it on an external drive.The threat of bugs and other stability issues is a good reason to think carefully about whether you want to take the risk of using the beta. If you do decide to install the beta software, make sure that you create a full backup beforehand. Check out our list of the best backup software for Mac for some great options.What does being an Apple beta tester mean?The purpose of the beta program is to provide Apple with feedback about the upcoming release. Expect there to be bugs and general issues—software offered through the beta program are not finished products, by installing it you are agreeing to become a tester and helping Apple to iron out these issues.When you encounter bugs or other issues, you can report them using the Feedback Assistant app. The app will let you provide information about what you were doing at the time of the crash so Apple can diagnose the issue.The main purpose of a beta tester is to locate bugs, but you can also provide feedback on interface oddities and other UI issues. Apple may change things if enough people have problems with the way something is designed—much like Safari in iOS 15. You can also provide feedback on third-party apps that aren’t working as they should.Can I leave the beta program?If, at any point, you decide that you’d like to end your participation in the beta software program, simply turn off beta updates on your device and the next available full release will install once it arrives. You can visit Apple’s Unenroll page or more information.We also have guides on how to remove a beta from your iPhone and your Mac for older devices.

My 64GB iPhone was so low on space it barely worked. Here’s how I saved it

My 64GB iPhone was so low on space it barely worked. Here’s how I saved it

MacworldWith the launch of the iPhone 16e and 11th-gen iPad, Apple has officially phased out all devices with 64GB of storage in favor of 128GB as the entry-level option. That’s great for new buyers, but there are a lot of people who still have 64GB iPhones and iPads that are too new to replace. I know from experience: I own an iPhone 12 mini and a 6th-gen iPad mini, both otherwise great devices, and it’s become a headache to manage the latest versions of iOS with such a small amount of space.If you also have a device with 64GB of storage and have been struggling with constant low storage alerts, I’m here to help. Here’s how I made my devices usable again without having to buy a new one—or anything else.iOS has a storage management problemThe ideal amount of storage varies from person to person. For people who mainly use their phone for messaging and browsing the web, the 64GB entry-level option was usually enough. But over the last several years, iOS itself as well as many apps have required much more space.For example, if you only install Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook, and YouTube on your phone, you already end up taking up more than 1GB of storage before any caches or downloads. As for iOS itself, the latest version of the operating system takes up more than 10GB and possibly twice that with System Data. Given that you’ll probably want to download more than four apps onto your phone, filling up 64GB of storage doesn’t take long.With just 64GB of storage, older iPhones can run out of space quickly.FoundryWhile larger system and app sizes are inevitable as we get more advanced features, Apple is partly to blame for not optimizing how iOS and iCloud manage storage. In theory, iCloud automatically decides what to download to your device based on available space, but what happens most of the time is that iCloud tries to download all your files, even when you don’t need them. iMessage can also become a problem, as the system keeps a large cache of all your messages and attachments. All of that is to say, when an iPhone or iPad reaches its storage limit, the device becomes virtually unusable. Apps crash, the camera won’t launch, it becomes impossible to install system updates... the situation gets bad.But things aren’t hopeless. If you’re dealing with an iPhone or iPad that has run out of available storage, here are a few things I do to make it usable againRemove unused appsThis might seem obvious, but the first step is to find out what exactly is taking up your iPhone’s storage. To do this, go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage. There you’ll see details of how much space each app is using, as well as the system.If your device has reached the state of crashing due to a lack of free storage, you can start by removing some installed apps. Start by deleting apps you no longer use. You can sort the list by size or last used date, which will make it easy to see any seldom-used apps that are eating into your storage space.If you can’t bring yourself to part with any of your apps, you can also temporarily remove an app from your device without deleting its data. To do this, tap on an app in the iPhone Storage settings and choose the “Offload App” option. This will delete the app itself by storing its data, documents, and settings. That way, when you reinstall the app, everything will be restored as if it were never deleted.Also in the iPhone Storage settings, you may want to enable the option “Offload Unused Apps,” which will automatically remove apps that haven’t been used in a while, but without deleting any data.Delete old iMessage chatsIf you’re a heavy iMessage user, be aware that your conversations can take up a lot of space on your iPhone or iPad. Unfortunately, even though iCloud backs up all your messages in the cloud, it also keeps them downloaded and eats up storage on your phone.You can set your iPhone to automatically delete messages after 30 days or a year.FoundryUntil Apple resolves this, we recommend deleting your old chats. Go to Settings > Apps > Messages and look for the option “Keep Messages.” You can set iMessage to automatically delete old messages after 30 days or 1 year, which will continuously free up your iPhone’s storage. However, just remember that changing this will also delete messages from your other Apple devices.It’s an all-or-nothing scenario, however, and there’s no easy way to save individual conversations or back them up to an external drive, so if you want to keep any specific conversations, you’ll need to put in a little work. There are some third-party apps that could help, but for the most part, you need to save each attachment individually and screenshot conversations.Change the iCloud Photos settingsPhotos and videos are the biggest culprits when it comes to eating up storage space. Similar to iMessage, iCloud Photos also backs up your photos without removing them from your devices, and that can be a problem when you’ve only got 64GB of storage.There are a couple of things you can do. Obviously, the first is to go through and delete old videos, screenshots, or duplicate photos from your camera roll. The Photos app has a tab under Utilities where you can easily find any duplicate photos and videos in your library—you may be surprised by how many you have.Optimizing photo storage can help free up precious space on your 64GB iPhone.FoundryYou can also head over Settings > Apps > Photos and check that the “Optimize iPhone Storage” option is on. This will allow your iPhone to remove some of the full-resolution photos from your device and only download them when you want to see them.But in some cases, you may need an even more aggressive solution. On my devices, for example, I have more than 700GB of photos and videos in iCloud. So, even with optimized iPhone storage, there’s still a lot of data that ends up being downloaded to my phone.If you’re in a similar boat, consider turning off iCloud Photos and removing all the photos and videos stored on your device. Instead, you can periodically transfer the photos you snap or save to your Mac or an external drive.
