About to sell my 2022 MacBook Air (M2 chip). I used “Erase All Content and Settings” to wipe it before selling. Just curious from a technical standpoint is there any tool or method (forensic software, data recovery services, whatever) that could actually recover files (photos,messages,etc) after that kind of reset on Apple Silicon?

I know older Macs/HDDs were recoverable with the right tools even after deletion, but I’ve read Apple Silicon’s Secure Enclave encryption makes it basically impossible once the keys are destroyed. Just want to double check before I hand it over to a buyer is this actually bulletproof, or is there some known method/exploit that gets around it?

Since Grok has become heavily moderated, I've decided to delete my Grok account. Before doing so, I requested a download of my data archive just to see what was in there, and I noticed all my uploaded images are still included. Also there was a section in data which was telling USER RISK: HIGH- what does this mean?

Does anyone know if this data (specifically the images) is actually permanently deleted from their servers once my account deletion is finalized?
Thanks!

Hey everyone, I’m currently in Sharm El Sheikh (staying near JAZ Fanara) for a week and I’m overwhelmed by how many “safari” and “boat trip” operators are pushing tours at the resort prices seem inflated for tourists.

Looking for:
1. A good ATV/quad safari with fast bikes + Bedouin dinner/night experience

**2.**	A boat/yacht day trip with snorkeling (Ras Mohammed / White Island area)

**3.**	Where locals actually buy groceries and creams/lotions/perfumes at fair prices, not the inflated tourist-shop rates  

Has anyone booked directly with a local operator (WhatsApp, not the hotel rep) and gotten a fair price?

Same question for shopping which supermarkets and cosmetic shops do you all trust for honest pricing? Would love contacts/recommendations from people who’ve actually been recently. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I have a question and would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has had a similar experience.

I’m an Azerbaijani citizen living in Hungary with a valid Hungarian employment residence permit, which expires on 30 September 2026. My Azerbaijani passport is valid until 2029.

I’m planning to travel from Budapest to Sharm El Sheikh (Egypt) on 7 July (tomorrow) and return to Budapest on 14 July. As an Azerbaijani citizen, I plan to obtain an Egyptian sinai visa on arrival.

Has anyone with a Hungarian or EU residence permit traveled to Egypt (especially with Wizz Air) and returned to EU without any issues?

I’m asking because I called the Egyptian Embassy in Hungary, and they mentioned they were not sure whether airlines or Hungarian/Egyptian passport control might require my Hungarian residence permit to have at least 6 months of validity remaining,as mine dont. They told me I maybe denied to board or enter to country.I haven’t found any official rule saying this, but I’d like to know if anyone has actual experience.I am kinda worried as everything is paid flights+hotel.

Did Wizz Air check your residence permit? Were there any issues boarding either the flight to Egypt or the return flight to EU?

Thank you very much for any advice or personal experiences!

I recently claimed my YouTube Official Artist Channel through DistroKid (the one with the music note icon next to the channel name). Everything is set up and my music is live on both YouTube and YouTube Music.
I want to change my display name on the channel not my username/handle, just the name that shows publicly.

My current display name is By(artist name) and I want to remove the By from the display name and keep only (artist name)

Has anyone done this after claiming their OAC? I just want to know:

1. Will it affect my Official Artist Channel status?
2. Will it cause any issues with how my music appears on YouTube Music?
3. Anything else I should be aware of before changing it?
   Would really appreciate advice from anyone who’s been through this. Thanks!
