You guys do realize that it is Thanksgiving Weekend here in the U.S.A. And that most White Collar Workers who work @ places like Cupertino, CA, U.S.A. (Apple Head Quarters) have Thanksgiving Day (Thursday), Black Friday, Saturday and Sunday off as part of a 4 Day Weekend while enjoying Turkey, Stuffing, Sweet Potatoes, and Gravy with their Extended Familes as part of this 4 day U.S.A. National Holiday! Just FYI!

I think most people know. They just said end of November, and the days are running out quick!

Hmm strange, I have never had that issue. :/

I wonder if it is account related because I have this issue crop up intermittently on all my computer (1 Windows 7 Laptop, 1 Windows 7 Desktop, and 1 MacBook Pro). It's pretty wide-spread though:

How bizarre, iTunes Match has worked perfectly for me from day 1. My Apple account is relatively old.

It's worked fine for me on iOS, Windows, and Mac except for this intermittent problem where it asks me to re-login in iTunes. All the solutions purposed by folks in that threat I linked to don't work...or seem to work for about a week and then the issue comes up again. The fact that it happens for me on all my machines leads me to believe it is something related to my account on Apple's end. Hopefully they fix it soon.

I bought iTunes match but never used it. It didn't recognize 90% of my music even tho it was available in the iTunes store and was relatively mainstream.

I had that problem, encoded all my music into AAC and now iTunes recognises about 90% rather than 10%.

But that degrades the quality of the music. I have most of my music in FLAC so I could probably reconvert it to AAC without any loss. That's too much work tho. lol :)

It was a lot of work, but you can easily keep your FLAC files and just use the converted AAC files for iTunes Match :)

I had no intents to trash my FLAC. :rofl: I'm saying it's too much work to convert them because it takes up too much time, and store 3 copies of my music in FLAC, AAC, and MP3. Besides, my subscription ends in two months and I'm not renewing. :)

Try Flac-Mp3 Converter (www.flac-mp3.org) very fast. Use it all the time. :)

I think right now I'm more interested in the unknown. Sure, it is going to play music with a different interface...but what else? So far that's all we've seen right?

It would be interesting if they overhauled the iOS syncing that has been integrated in iTunes since inception of the iPhone. I would be really happy if Apple were to divorce all the functionality of iTunes into separate apps. iTMS, Media (Music/Video) Player, iOS Sync Tool are all kind of distinctively different things IMO.

It all seems OK to us because we've seen the progression of the iPod into the iPhone. The iPod syncing with the media playing and managing software made sense.

When I tell my step mother that she manages her new cell phone from the media player software that seemed really bizarre to her (but she just accepts it like the rest of us and moves on). It just...always has been that way with these particular things. So yeah, I hope Apple does something bold with that.

I don't think that would work too well. On the other hand, I would like to see them combine the iTunes and App store on iOS. Call it the iStore.

One application to purchase and sync things and one application to playback media files. Now that would be sweet.

    • Secure Boot

      By cork1958 · Posted

      Simple answer is yes, you will still get the Windows updates and as long as browser is up to date, you will be good. Only thing secure boot does is protect you against boot level threats and make it harder to install other OS's. I've been looking into this pretty thoroughly lately myself as wifes computer has secure boot disabled plus my other, older computers that run Linux, don't have secure boot enabled. Have seen all kinds of questions about this on the Linux Mint and MX Linux forums. Just don't suddenly enable secure boot now.
    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

      How many other companies will follow Ford's lead? Or, have they already gotten lazy and become enslaved to AI--and now can't figure out how to get out of that mess.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      Why would any self-respecting intelligent person follow any recommendation by Donald's GOP administration? With almost two years of fabrications, deceit, and blatantly illegal behavior, why believe them now? They had best be gone after the November 2026 election, so we'll wait and see.
    • AltSendme 0.4.1

      By Copernic · Posted

      AltSendme 0.4.1 by Razvan Serea AltSendme is a minimal, cross-platform application designed for fast, secure, and private peer-to-peer file transfers. It allows users to send files or entire directories directly between devices without relying on cloud servers, accounts, or any personal information. Everything is encrypted end-to-end using modern protocols like QUIC and TLS 1.3, ensuring both strong security and low-latency performance. Transfers are verified with BLAKE3 for data integrity, and interrupted downloads automatically resume, making the experience reliable even on unstable connections. You can transfer anything—images, videos, documents, and more. Integrity checks are performed on both ends, so your files are automatically verified for correctness during both sending and receiving. AltSendme works seamlessly across local networks or long-distance links, capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for extremely fast delivery. With built-in NAT traversal and encrypted relay fallback, it connects devices almost anywhere. The app integrates with the Sendme CLI and will soon support mobile and web platforms. Fully free and open-source, AltSendme offers a lightweight, privacy-first alternative to traditional cloud-based services, removing size limits, upload costs, and unnecessary data exposure. AltSendme 0.4.1 changelog: Release Highlights Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use. Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname. Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer. Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other. Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7). Other improvements Private relay access control via shared auth token Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings Android release build fixes (split-per-ABI APKs, universal APK preservation) UI polish: mobile safe-area insets, dropzone layout, transfer progress animation Bug fixes for minification-related serialization issues and system tray icon loading What's Changed feat(relay): add relay status functionality and settings UI (a120cdf) feat(relay): implement custom relay server configuration and verification (51276c7) feat(relay): add configuration for private relay access and enhance observability features (48fbabf) feat(relay): enhance relay URL validation, display connection status (d4fffa0) feat(relay): add RelayChangeGuard component and enhance relay-related translations (16ba514) feat(broadcast): add toggle setting for broadcast mode in sharing UI (ca6d977) fix(relay): correct QUIC discovery port, pin image, templatize fly.dev (52a2ba5) fix: More broken serialization due to minification (67491a9) fix(android): preserve true universal APK across per-ABI builds (e9f256f) fix(ui): conditional safe-area insets padding on mobile (1182f0e) refactor(transfer): CircularRing component animation fix (944572b) chore(android): drop x86 and x86_64 release APKs, keep universal+arm64+armv7 (34ada0b) Download: AltSendme 0.4.1 | ARM64 | ~9.0 MB (Open Source) Download: AltSendme for MacOS | Android Links: AltSendme Home Page | GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By zikalify · Posted

      You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
