Looking for a portable monitor recommendation for my partner. They use a Mac and are looking for a 14-16" portable monitor.

Anyone have suggestion?

Any mac nerds wanna help with a weird one?

I've got an A1466 running 26.1, everything works except for mirroring (no t2) and apple intelligence (no neural engine) and the wifi(???)

So obviously I'm trying to get the wifi working, since it'd be a snowball's chance in hell for the other things to work.

IDK literally anything about macOS under the hood except that its darwin which is (kind of) a BSD, so I'm like way out of my depths here.

Plstohalpthx!!

Most "broken charging port" diagnoses are wrong.

A USB-C cable fails months internally before showing external damage — the copper strands break at the housing, the insulation looks intact. Your phone flashes the charging icon but nothing charges the battery.

Before port replacement, try a new cable, compressed air in the port, force restart. That solves most cases.

Okay, a bit miffed now.

Was going through the list of accounts that I follow to see if there were any inactive ones or any that I don't wish to follow anymore & I was finding that when I went to several profiles (on different servers) that most of them displayed as if I was not following them.
The button that should say Unfollow showed up as the Follow button.
On a couple I clicked the Follow button to see what would happen & it brought up a dialogue box asking me to sign in, offering a field to enter my full handle in. This makes no sense as I'm already logged in on my instance & I doubt me logging in to their instance would work as I do not have an account there.

Could someone explain what that's about as it's a little disturbing to a non-tech head?

Thanks 🙂

EDIT: Had my explanations, so I'm a little wiser now 😃👍.

Back in 2015~ I used to read a tech magazine published in Italy, and a thing from it has been stuck in my head:

It was a mesh network, but unlike Meshtastic, its main purpose was file sharing (yes, that kind, but also things like guides or recipes)
I think the name was bird-themed?

Anyone remember?

Not sure if anyone is interested, or how I should frame this. A local business let their web site go, and it looks like someone bought the domain name and is using it to scam people. I got a tab that looks like an official microsoft page with a warning, beeping, and a voice saying to call the microsoft number shown (no way) and not to shut off the computer. I shut off computer, waited a few and turned it back on. It didn't even boot, just brought up same page. I brought up task manager, shut down #Vivaldi and it went away. Ran full scan. It was just a scam page, but it appeared that my mouse didn't work, but it worked in TM. Anyone want to look into shutting this down? I just used up what little tech ability I have just to get this far. Site is alumfloinc dot com. Hmmm, tags?

SSD guasto? Recuperare i dati non è impossibile

Anche quando il disco non viene più riconosciuto, i dati restano spesso intatti. Ecco cosa succede e come si interviene per recuperarli.

Edit:
Thank you all for the replies.
It seems that this is a very big ask and not at all simple, nor easy.
I will have a think over it all and see what it is I would want to achieve, and see if there is a priority I should look at that is doable for me.
Or just accept that I am tied to the system.

How difficult is it for a non techy person to change their phone's operating system from Android to one of the non Android OS options?

What is the general process without risk of losing all the contacts, messages, and apps that are already on the phone in use?

I currently have a Samsung A13.

Thank you.
