    Considering i9 MBP - Reinstall and Disable APFS?

    Well, despite my better judgement I'm considering the i9 MBP. The reports I'm seeing from Logic users are a lot more significant than I expected... Anyway, I've been on 10.12 for a few years now and haven't gone near 10.13. After some reading, it would seem that there's some rationale behind...

    iMac as monitor for PC

    Long story short; I have a slow, overheating and SUPER NOISY 2010 iMac that I really wan't to replace with a brand new (non-noisy) iMac. Only problem is that my current iMac also doubles as an external monitor for my boyfriends Windows PC (for gaming). I know that the "new" iMacs (2010+)...

    I can't believe that they haven't been done for over a year and a half now as a theme for this, so we're well overdue for a feast of extravagant, playful, cute, magnificent, bizarre and otherwise pets. I would dearly love to see some unusual pets or pets doing the unusual in this round...

    Bought the wrong 15" MBP (oops)

    While browsing Geekbench scores, I realized that I'd just bought the wrong 15" MBP (1 hour before). So here's what happened: on the checkout page (https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/macbook-pro/15-inch) it lets you select which base MBP you want to configure. I selected the one on the right...

    I have noticed the picture quality on the facetime camera appears significantly more grainy and washed out on my 15 inch 2018 MBP compared with my 2015 13 inch MBP and my partners 2017 air. All 3 should have a 720p camera. I have found no change with adjusting displaying settings. It is kind of...
