@ClassicII_MrMac I would settle for the ease of the MacBook Air 2010-17 battery. No fighting adhesives.

[Tom Q's Tech Tips @TomQsTechTips1]

So here's my dilemma: iOS 27 Dev Betas fix an issue that has kept me from running iOS 26. IF I upgrade my iPhone that runs iOS 18.7.8 w/o issue to iOS 27, but then @apple UN-does the fix before the official release I cannot go back to 18. There is no signed version of 18! Why?!🧐

[Tom Q's Tech Tips @TomQsTechTips1]

@ClassicII_MrMac You should still get it. That box is in really good shape.

[Tom Q's Tech Tips @TomQsTechTips1]

On a whim, I installed iOS 27 Dev Beta 1 on my spare iPhone SE 2. NO version of iOS 26 has worked with my @apple Lightning Dock hack, so why did I dream that iOS 27 might work? IDK... but it totally works! AUDIO & VIDEO over HDMI.🎉

Will it "stick" going forward? I sure hope so!

[Tom Q's Tech Tips @TomQsTechTips1]

Dodged a bullet today. I installed iOS 26.1 Dev to see if @apple fixed video passthrough in the Lightning Dock. They didn’t.

I thought about giving it some time to see if it needed to download something but decided to roll back to 18. Good thing I did. They just unsigned 18.6.2.

How about clicking this little icon takes you right to the @suno Studio Project that created the song?

[Tom Q's Tech Tips @TomQsTechTips1]

THESE accurate thumbnails are a REALLY nice new feature @suno. Thank you!

My "Studio Project Library" was getting out of hand trying to find which Project did what. One other suggestion in the comments...

[Tom Q's Tech Tips @TomQsTechTips1]

@theapplehub Noooooooo!

MagSafe is awesome!

[Tom Q's Tech Tips @TomQsTechTips1]

@CRMAigents @Blackmagic_News You CAN do that with a DockKit enabled gimbal like the @DJIGlobal Osmo 8, though I would like to see a tad bit more control of DockKit in the @Blackmagic_News Camera App, and some evidence from @Apple that DockKit is still being actively worked on.

[Tom Q's Tech Tips @TomQsTechTips1]

Now we're talking! My LIVE production wishlist from 2025 for an iPhone camera app is almost complete. Dual camera support would still be nice, and to a much lesser extent on-the-fly disengagement of DockKit tracking, but other than that we're more than there. TY @Blackmagic_News!

@Beckmania @YouTube You probably already figured this out, but…On iOS…
Settings…
Your Name…
Subscriptions…
Unsubscribe.

Then go to YouTube on a browser and subscribe there.

(You can do this on a Mac too, but there’s an xtra step… Media & Purchases… before Subscriptions… Manage…)

[Tom Q's Tech Tips @TomQsTechTips1]

@Beckmania Reminds me of something Thomas Edison said when asked if he got discouraged by 'failed' experiments:

"I have successfully found 10,000 ways that will not work."

[Tom Q's Tech Tips @TomQsTechTips1]

This is a REALLY good short documentary...
that is actually a bit emotional for some of us.😢
Nice job @iFilmmakers

[iPhoneographers @iFilmmakers]

Filmic Pro was the go-to video camera app for a decade – until a sale to Bending Spoons and a shift to subscriptions changed everything.

This is the story of how it went from industry leader to afterthought almost overnight.👇🏻

@photojoseph There’s also a corresponding flood of individuals and businesses using affiliate links in that time period. You were on the cutting edge.

@suno Natural decay of instruments into total silence at the end of a track!
(It does this SOMETIMES)

[Tom Q's Tech Tips @TomQsTechTips1]

📣 Number 4. 🙌🏻

[andy o.mp3 @AndyoMp3]

@suno 1. lossless downloads
2. stems
3. ownership rights
4. high quality (would be great if more focus was given to allow us to simply improve the quality of old songs we have without changing them slightly)

[Tom Q's Tech Tips @TomQsTechTips1]

@suno How about a SUNO app & website as a listening tool? I would think that after a couple of months (signed in) on the platform, that SUNO would have a little bit of an idea of what kind of music I like to listen to.
Either get better at that, or let me open the app to my playlists.

[Tom Q's Tech Tips @TomQsTechTips1]

@ClassicII_MrMac Apparently you don’t get 18.7.4 if your iPhone supports 26.

[Tom Q's Tech Tips @TomQsTechTips1]

Thank you again for this amazing app Adam! Looking forward to the video, to see what some of this even means 🤓.

[MixEffect @MixEffectApp]

@ladonsyl @suno Controlla Voice - but I have already given up on it. I won’t even waste my time to use 80% of my remaining credits. Bad use of $12. The voice swaps don’t take advantage of written lyrics to help pronounce words. And no tools to replace mistakes that I could find. & Stems r trash.
