Took my M1 iPad Air out of the case for the first time in forever earlier, I forgot how good looking this blue color is.
I wish the MBA Sky Blue was this color tbh, it's too desaturated in my opinion
I have an M1 iPad Air with only 64 GB that I want to upgrade soon because I use it a lot and I fear that the storage will give me issues soon (the OS itself already takes up a quarter just by existing). Do I do it now with the college discount or wait till a sale event, like Black Friday.
Buy now cause prices are only gonna get worse from here VS buy later because the discounts then might be better than it is right now.
Thoughts?
Over the past couple of days I've noticed that I have a bunch of "No Name" contacts cramming up my contacts, they all have the exact same phone number and I have no idea who/what it is or why it's filling up like this (there are several hundred of them by now). Any help?
So, I got the base M5 MBA (13 inch) a couple of months ago and I've been loving it, although while I was working on assignments all this week I noticed that the swap memory was starting to fill up a little bit due to how many tabs and apps I had open. I also needed to download a lot of things that fills up my SSD a bit.
My question is, how much does swap memory affect or "damage" the SSD, if at all? Is it something I need to worry about a lot? I mostly use it for multitasking and nothing super heavy, no 4K video editing or 3D modeling and whatnot.
To be honest if I had the choice (and budget) to go back and pick again I'd either spec up to the 24 GB or the 1 TB model, in hindsight I don't know why I chose to cheap out on the specs especially with the current memory crisis and all :P.
As the title suggests, I've reached out to ASRock support 3 times and on every occasion I've failed to get any kind of response back.
For reference of what happened, see my post here
In summary, I reached out to the ASRock warranty website and filled out everything to try and get a replacement for this motherboard that I bought in August 2025. I wait a week and no response. I try again, and another week goes by and still nothing.
I then directly email RMA support detailing my issue with my motherboard invoice and everything, and once again, a full week goes by, and my inbox is still nothing but of crickets and tumbleweeds from them.
At this point do I just accept that they're never gonna reach out to me? Why is it such a hassle to contact them to get a replacement for a motherboard that didn't even last a year? (It broke in early July 2026, no it has nothing to do with the CPU frying thing)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I got this machine back in mid March and it was doing fine, then a couple of months after that I started noticing these very faint creaking/crinkling noises whenever I hold the thing from the corners/open and close the lid. It's very faint and the laptop still looks and functions totally fine. I'm just wondering if theres something deeper happening or if that's just something that happens with Airs. Any comments?
My iPad Air 5th Gen has had this issue for ages now where I barely have any apps installed and yet the system data is inflated like this for no reason, I have no idea how to make it go away and its infuriating cause like 75% of my storage is just crammed up with stuff I can't even get rid of :/
Is there anything I can do to make this number go down? It's one of the main reasons that keeps me from using it more often.
Hey everyone, I recently tried to update my bios but now the computer will not boot at all, I was on 3.40 since September 2025, but when I tried to update my bios to the most recent via flash the LED wouldn't turn on, then I tried to turn my PC on again and now its stuck on the CPU and DRAM LEDs. Trying to flash with a USB wont' work either cause the LED light won't even turn on when I try. Not really sure what to do here what can I do? My motherboard is a B850M-X R2.0
Thanks!
