Let’s face it, iPhones are amazing companions, but that constant worry about the battery life can be a real buzzkill. We’ve all been there: scrambling for a charger just as we’re about to capture that perfect sunset pic, or stressing about a dying phone during a long commute.
Fear not, fellow iPhone users! There are ways to squeeze more juice out of your beloved device. Here are some…
life update: school’s out!!! and with that, year one went by like a flash. says a lot about me that the first thing i did was go to the library and get some books to read.
(currently reading: hood feminism)

got a new blog or side-blog? here's what you need to do *right now*
Change your PFP to something that doesn't look like a phornbot (aka a candid pic of an attractive woman or a group of attractive women)*
Choose a cover photo
Don't leave your blog Untitled
Don't shove a bunch of emoji's in your bio / description. DO post your age or age range, especially if you are 18 or older. (If you're younger than 18, you should not interact with blogs like mine)
Don't leave your blog totally blank. Reblog something so we can all see that you're a real person. (This is just a good practice anyway, reblogs make this site work.)
OR
don't do any of the above and get blocked :-/
*apologies to attractive women, who can't use their own photo as a PFP because this site is full of kremlin and CCP robots who know how to manipulate our gender
also @staff wtf! you have auto filters now to slap community labels on fics before they're even reported, but I have to spend 5 minutes every time I log in to report/block the spambots???? what is happening???

What do?!
Ultimate Amber mode is what you can do. Also includes tips for colourblindness
iPad setup
1: Turn on Night shift
You can ask siri to do it.
You can open Control Centre and long press the screen brightness and turn it on
1: Then in Settings➡️Acessibility➡️Display & Text Size enable the following settings:
Increase Contrast to On
Differentiate Without Colour to On
Colour Filters:
Turn on and set to Greyscale
Note: If you are colourblind, permanently enable one of the colourblindness modes.
If you have severe issues with contrast and brightness, or Dyslexia, pick the Colour Tint and adjust your strength and hue to your preference.
Maximum red is great for reading in the dark but very hard to operate things normally.
Then turn it off for now
2: In Accessibility scroll down and find the Accessibility Shortcut
Now just add everything useful - hint there's built in white noise that you can toggle on and off.
3: Go to Control Centre in Settings and add the Accessibility Shortcut.
Now you can turn all those cool eye saving features on and off.
4: Go to Settings ➡️ Display and Brightness
Locate Nightshift and crank it up to maximum amberosity
Optional bad-ass mode
Use Shortcuts to create a workflow that just turns Nightshift and Colour Filters both on, then duplicate it and edit to turn them off.
Call them Amber Mode and Normal Mode or something. If you call one Amber Off, for some reason Siri tries to power your iPad down.
Now you have a Siri command or home screen shortcut to turn both on. Congrats you created a magic spell for your magic mirror
Optionally turn on background sounds and chill to rain sounds.
To use:
Enable Colour filters and Night mode. You will now have an iPad that is amber screen, with a lower white point and buttons will have outlines to make them easier to see.
Windows
Under Settings ➡️Accessibility ➡️ Colour filters select your grayscale.
At this point you also can select for colourblindness or add a tint for Dyslexia.
Ctrl+WinKey+C to toggle this
Settings➡️Display ➡️Nightlight
Crank this to maximum.
Combining Greyscale and nightlight will give you a truly deep rich Monochrome Amber that is relaxing to your eyes
How to Turn Off Find My iPhone: A Comprehensive Guide
Introduction to Find My iPhone
Find My iPhone is a security feature developed by Apple, designed to help users locate and protect their Apple devices. This service, which is integrated into iOS, allows users to track their iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, and Mac in case they are lost or stolen. The feature was first introduced in 2010 as part of iOS 4.2 and has since undergone significant enhancements,…
someone was recommending an app for android and i asked if there was an ios equivalent and got the whole “apple sucks, just get an android” like…….buddy where am i getting this new phone from? are YOU gonna buy it for me? i’ve had one phone in my life that wasn’t second hand and that was my first flip phone. if my current phone died right now, i just wouldn’t have a phone until someone i know got a new one and was nice enough to give me their old one. are you expecting me to just turn down their offers until someone just gives me an android?
I’m so sorry if you’ve gotten this question before! I was wondering how you create gifs for your sims posts? They’re gorgeous 💖
hi fae 💗 tysm for the compliment ahooooo T^T
im on mobile so i hope everything links correctly 🙏 i talked about gif making before here and here, and i dont have much to add to that sadly — i am a horrible explainer when it comes to tutorials so i dont think i will make one (and theres already quite a few out there that are way more helpful than i could ever be LOL) i also want to add that i’ve been making gifs for a few yrs now and the way i make gifs is kind of longwinded since i use an older version of photoshop + i dont use the convert to smart object option, so im not entirely sure a tutorial from me would be helpful anyhow.
i do have another suggestion for recording software though, nvidia shadowplay (game capturing)! i dont use it personally, so i can’t vouch for it, but i do know some people have said they use it and their gifs come out wonderfully!! it’s always worth looking at if you don’t have the screen capture feature w/ windows 10 or if you don’t want obs studio… that’s all the updates i have for gif making tho.
Use an LED tealight or pillar candle and wrap with decorative papers. Use color and other correspondences and enchant your tools as you work! Attach personally meaningful enchanted symbols, charms, confettis, crystals, petitions, and whatever else your heart desires! No fire safety needed here kids (except hot glue gun=hot). Build up intention related to your spell's result and release it into the candle when you're done❤️🔥
Please don't hesitate to ask any questions or make suggestions!
Folks on iOS 16 will now see less or almost no CAPTCHA from Cloudflare/Fastly (Google is still not onboard) because it now has an inbuilt option to Automatically Bypass CAPTCHAs. Make sure it is "turned On" under Apple ID > Password & Security > Scroll to the bottom:
i downloaded iOS 16 and macOS ventura on my phone and macbook respectively, so im here to share about some of the cool stuff!
ios:
the lockscreen is POGGERS, but i still have no idea how to put people in front of the font and stuff. i'll probably figure that out later, but i'm happy with this rn. the font options go from nice and aesthetic to slightly deranged, with weird numbers and all. the widgets were a good idea.
music player!!
the music player has two modes. one more compressed and compact:
and one more bigger zoomed-in version of the album art!
this is a really nice touch for people who are into album art and like seeing them, and the compact method works with those who want to be a little more private about what theyre listening to. theres also a little equaliser on the top right of the progress bar right next to the song title, which i think is pretty neat!
other stuffystuff:
overall, the animations seem a lot more natural, and i really like that. it makes me feel more comfortable using my phone, and it feels as if it's brand new. this just shows how much software affects the experience, and apple outdid themselves this time. although, there are a few slight animation errors that i've already informed them about, so hopefully they do something soon.
the scrolling on the home page is almost the same as iOS15, but instead the dots at the bottom have a search function when the phone is still. i think for small handed people like me would be okay to use it, but i'm not really sure this function is needed since all we can do is just swipe down for spotlight.
but when we DO swipe down, there's a new animation that makes the search button at the bottom of the screen come up to be the search bar itself. pretty cool ngl
the fixed app row at the bottom of the homescreen seems even closer to the edge, either that or my eyes are failing me. there's no battery percentage yet, but hopefully the actually update has it :')
the hold picture thing isn't working for me as for now, but that's maybe bc i'm on an older phone. can beta testers who use newer phones tell me if it works on yours?
the fitness app was a good thing i feel. im always super unmotivated to exercise, so i think seeing the rings themselves can help me force myself to exercise everyday :D
that's all for iOS! onto macOS!
ok first things first, ventura is BIG. like big BIG update. 12gb???? my computer was having a difficult time to download everything, but i eventually got it downloaded. and the biggest thing in this update:
stage manager!
(dont mind the ayato wallpaper thanks 💀)
stage manager actually boosted my productivity in class, a LOT. my moots know that we use our computers a lot in class, and stage manager helped me not only focus, but do my work more efficiently. i used to be a very everything-full-screen person. i would put all of my windows in full screen mode and travelling between them was a little bit torturous. but stage manager somewhat found a middleground for people who love full screen and minimised windows. they made it so that your current window was big enough to feel like it's full screen, but you still have the stage manager at the side for you to switch your windows whenever you want to.
however, it was a little difficult to navigate at first. i kept opening windows that i wasnt supposed to and i had no idea how to group tabs and separate them. hopefully the feedback i gave to apple will allow them to give more direct instructions on how to use the stage manager.
oh. that's pretty much everything. well for me at least, most of the update was an aesthetic upgrade, but self performance could also be boosted! i'm not sure about other features, but these few are the ones that really stuck with me!
