Do you guys ever need to access your machines remotely and what do you use (other than ssh)
Jordan (Jun 25 2025 at 02:43):I just use the built in screen sharing app. It only works from another Mac, but that’s all I need.
Tim Uckun (Jun 25 2025 at 22:09):How do you connect to the other screen?
Dixit Ram (Jun 27 2025 at 04:39):I don't know what apple calls it , You can setup VNC server on Mac. And access from anywhere,from your mobile too.
Or if you mean like using mouse, keyboard then i would prefer KDE connect.

I left my phone in the car when i went for a walk and took my airpods with me. I was expecting my watch to notify me that I had left my phone behind but it didn't. When I got back in the car there was a notification on the phone saying I had left my airpods behind.
Why didn't my watch notify me. A quick googling says I have all the setting properly adjusted. It should work but it doesn't.
Also like why does it wait 15 minutes before it tells me I left something behind. I can be halfway to town by the time I get notified. Just let me know as soon as you lose connection or let me set it the ping frequency FFS.
