A while back I posted how I managed to come the closest you can to "completing Tinder" as in I ran out of people to swipe on even with the distance radius set to maximum and with a 9-year age range, and after not getting even a single like after being on the app for over 6 months.

Recently I ended up moving countries. Here I went through everyone I could swipe on with the max distance set after around a week. Again, still no likes. I managed to make my way through everyone in two countries with nothing to show for it.

Eventually I decided to see what my competition was doing to see what was so offensive about my profile that almost 7 months and two countries later I still couldn't get one like. So I switched my filter briefly to also show men, so I could see what they were doing. And in just the two minutes or so of swiping no on every profile, I got a whopping 10 likes...

I deleted Tinder right after that.

I haven't had much luck on Bumble thus far so I've been thinking of getting either premium or premium+. I had it for about 6 months and hadn't had a single like yet and now I only get around 3 or 4 new profiles in a 30 mile range a day. My concern is that there just simply isn't enough profiles left for premium to be worth it. The unlimited likes are obviously pointless given how I'm never in danger of even getting close to the limit now. It's more for the exposure of my profile to others. But again I'm worried there's just too few profiles left in my area at this point.

So is it worth getting premium with so few people left, just to increase my odds even a bit, or would it be a big waste of money?

I am trying to enable the auto login as option on my Macbook (MacOS 15.1), however it is being greyed out with the text "This setting has been configured by a profile". Any ideas how to fix this?

I had an issue with the boot drive (Seagate Firecuda Gen 4 1TB NVMe) in my testbench, so I popped my main PC boot drive in it. However, the drive wasn't being detected at all, not even in BIOS. So I put it back in my main system but it still wasn't being detected. I also tried in an external USB enclosure on my laptop, but still nothing. Did the switch somehow fry it completely, or is there still some way of salvaging it? There is no visible damage on the pins or anything like that.
