    Program Requires Password for every change and opening

    Hi, Please, don't give me a lecture on "the password fail-safe protects your system". Of course it does, I'm not stupid. It's annoying to have to keep typing in a password when all I want to do is change one small computer control. I coded my own system monitoring program. It monitors Ghz...

    How Airpods and Apple Watch need to work

    I'm really finding i miss those inline controls of the standard wired earpods. They had everything you need. I got an apple watch as i knew i wanted the airpods and i knew they didn't come with controls. No one wants to use Siri on the bus, train and you can't even on a plane. Being Australian...
