    IOS Keyboard as trackpad to insert text

    I just learned that if you deep-press on the #IOS keyboard space bar, the keyboard works like a trackpad, so you can insert text without using your finger on the screen. Apparently, works on any iPhone or iPad with 3D Touch. (So, not the iPhone XR, apparently.) Solves #1 thing I hated about IOS...

    Sharpness in Ipad Pro 11”

    I don't know if I‘m losing sight, but I have the 11” iPad Pro, and I'm just noticing that the text is not as defined as I read it in 2018 iPad or in 10.5” iPad Pro. I don't know if it is about the font rendering, or it's a wrong perception. https://flic.kr/p/2a1MxPA https://flic.kr/p/P2aAQ8

    How to scale MacOS to any size you like

    Just in case people don't know how to do this... I was trying to find a way to enlarge MacOS on my external 1440p monitor, as all the UI text was a little too small to read comfortably.

    Sending "AWAY" text messages?

    Is there no way at all to automatically send replies to text messages? I will be going "off grid" for some time and want people to know that I am away and not able to respond when they text me. Would this be an iphone thing? Or a Verizon thing? Is it even possible?

    Hi, we just updated Playnow - Watch together. We often crowd around a tiny phone screen to watch a new video with their friends.

    Difficulty choosing right 27" monitor

    Hi, I have experience using a 23.8" lenovo monitor with 2560x1440 (123.41 DPI) resolution on my mac. This resolution is great, but text is too small and apple gives no option to scale text. So I am thinking of purchasing a 27" with 2560x1440 (108.79 DPI) and that should solve problem, due to...

    text jumps to previous marker position

    Macbook Pro mid 2014. When I am writing text, in Open Office, Gmail or whatever, my text suddenly, and for reasons I cannot understand jumps back to an earlier position, probably one that I had gone to with the marker. I've seen that, if I move the arrow off the page it helps, but this is...

Especially in the iTunes Store, that would make a huge difference. I already use f.lux, because the warmer temperature helps the...

    Accidentally deleted all my friend's years-old text messages on my iPhone 5. How do I retrieve them?

    This isn't as simple as it sounds, so let me give you a little backstory: 1.) I accidentally deleted all of my best friend's texts. Instead of selecting the individual texts I wanted to delete and pressing the trash bin, I ended up stupidly hitting "clear all" and deleted all of them. :( 2.) I...
