TextSniper is the fastest way to copy uncopyable text, wherever it may be: in photos, screenshots, PDFs, videos, online presentations, apps, or websites that annoyingly block copying.
TextSniper works just like the built-in screenshot tools in macOS. Press Shift-Command-2, then select the area of the screen with the text you want to copy. That’s it! A friendly thumbs-up indicates that the text is in your Clipboard, ready for pasting.
TextSniper can also copy URLs and text embedded in QR codes, as well as barcode numbers. It even can read the recognized text to you. And because the app supports Continuity Camera in macOS, you can use your iPhone or iPad camera to capture text right to your Mac.
Available on Intel and M1 Macs, running macOS Catalina and higher.
Get TextSniper now to speed up your workflow. Use the promo code LOOP at checkout to get 20% off this week.
Follow the headline link for Joanna Stern’s enthusiastic take on the new MacBook Pros. But watch the video below for Joanna’s real-life battery testing.
At about 3:54 in, Joanna tries to duplicate Apple’s battery claims for the new devices. Worth watching to get a sense of what you can expect if you buy one of the new MacBook Pros.
First things first, to be really clear, this is the Mac Pro (NOT an Intel MacBook Pro). Just making sure you get the drift of the comparison.
Follow the link, scroll through the benchmarks, then check out this link for a bunch more benchmarks comparing the same two machines.
Bottom line, the benchmarks showed the M1 Max was pretty close to the 2019 Mac Pro, beating it in some tests, losing in others, but pretty much neck-and-neck overall.
To me, this is incredible, really shows the giant leap Apple made with the M1 Max. Obviously, the Mac Pro brings expandability to the table that a laptop just can’t match. Wonder when we’ll see an Apple Silicon-powered Mac Pro. That’ll be something.
I was hesitant on updating because I enjoyed my phone being jailbroken but last night I figured I would for the FaceTime updates, but it was the Find My AirPods feature that I really got a benefit out of. I arrive at the airport to head home and come to find out I left my AirPods in the car of my Uber driver, after getting a “Find My” notification.
Presumably, this refers to a “separation alert”, also known as a left behind notification.
I call him up and he brings them back to me. It even tracked him every so often along the way. I didn’t even know that was in the update but it just saved my wallet
I’ve gotten a few of these, especially when I left my AirPods at home on a charger. Some people find the alerts annoying, I like the reminder that they exist.
Here’s Apple’s official separation alert support document, telling you how to turn the alerts off and on, and how to set up a Trusted Location if you want to be able to leave your item somewhere without being notified.
