    Alternative to Apple Keyboard

    My old Apple full/wired keyboard (A1234) finally stopped working the other day - the caps-lock light is stuck on but nothing else works. I was using it with my Mac Studio M1 Max. I'd like to get a new keyboard but not an expensive Apple one, so I was wondering what are the best alternative...

    I’m excited to share a project I’ve been working on called osxiec (osx isolated environment creator). While it’s not a full container solution, osxiec provides a way to isolate processes from the main system on macOS. Here are some key features: * Process isolation using groups and macOS...

    iOS Apple says my app which predates the App Store is spam.

    I was happy with the App Store until today. My app from 2005 that has had it's features copied over and over by other more recent apps was rejected as spam, even though it came first. The app store arrived around 2007 but my app came out in 2005. The option to appeal was removed and I have...

    Magic keyboard alternative for iPad Pro 11”

    I was just wondering if anybody was aware of a keyboard case with a trackpad for the iPad Pro 11 inch? I’ve been looking around but I haven’t been able to find anything for the 11 inch iPad Pro specifically. Maybe I missed something? It would be nice save a little money, which is why I’m looking...

    Macbook, iMac, iMac Pro, Mac mini, Mac Pro, Mac?

    A common idea I've noticed(less common now that the new Mac Pro is out) is that Apple has abandoned the Mac. I've always disagreed with that idea. As you can see from the thread title, the Mac lineup is full. Almost. Since the Mac Pro came out, I've kept my mouth shut and just observed the...

    Beats by Dre replacement cable alternatives?

    I'm just wondering if you can use any audio cable to replace the one I had, even if it wasn't manufactured by the same company - just as long as the dimensions are the same (I hope I'm right in assuming both ends are 3.5 mm) and they work as well quality-wise.
