    Night Shift on LG 38WN95C only works in PBP.

    Hi guys, I have a strange problem with my external monitor. I have an ultra-wide LG 38WN95C hooked up to my MacBook Pro 16" running Big Sur (although I had the same problem on Catalina). I noticed a while ago that night shift is not turning on. At first I thought, that the display does not...

    Is The Cisdem Video Player Any Good?

    Hello there, I was considering giving Cisdem Video Player a shot on my machine running Big Sur, VLC has had many problems functioning on Big Sur since it debuted and Cisdem boldly displays on the site that it is Big Sur compatible. I was curious as to any of you have tried it out. Is it any good...

    Home How to edit room names, delete rooms?

    I am using the Big Sur version of the Home app. I believe, the interface hasn’t changed too much from the Catalina version, although it is sufficiently different from the one that shipped with Mojave. I am looking for a way to edit the names of my rooms. So far I have had to switch to using the...

    Big Sur - Volume randomly resets to 100%

    I've been using macOS Big Sur on my MBP since June, and recently a problem has come up. My volume level will randomly reset to 100%. Does anyone else have this problem? I've tried resetting the PRAM/NVRAM already. I think the issue may be with the Skype app. Again, anyone have this issue?

    MP 1,1-5,1 cMP 5,1 - I gave up on Big Sur as main system

    I gave up on my cMP5,1 to run Big Sur 11.0.1 on the main disk and reverted to Catalina. I still have it as an alternate boot in addition to Mojave. The pain was that I had upgraded my fast NVMe and had Catalina as a smaller install on an SSD. Overall it worked just fine including hand off and...

    External Storage Really Slow?

    On my iMac 5K (2017) my USB-C connected 1 TB NVMe drive would do 900/930 MB/s write/read on Catalina. On Big Sur, it got down to like 30 MB write speed. I took that same drive, formatted as APFS, and connected to my M1 MacBook Air, I'm getting 15 MB/s writes. Best read is 500 or so. Anyone...

    Big Sur Comparison

    Howdy Everyone, My 2019 16" MacBook Pro updated to Big Sur "automatically" this past Sunday. One of the things I noticed immediately, was that my system seems slower. So, I took a look in Activity Monitor and noticed that on a cold boot, that there are over 1800 threads and 400 processes with...

    Can you use iMac 2012 (High Sierra) as 2nd display with iMac 2020 Big Sur?

    I have an iMac 27inch, late 2012, currently running on High Sierra that is very tired and slow despite adding more RAM (currently on 32MB, I think). Thinking of getting new iMac in the new year which will obviously have Big Sur installed. Is there any way I can hook up my 2012 iMac as a second...

    Big Sur Breathing New Life Into 2015 MacBook?

    Hi all So I have the entry-level 2015 12-inch MacBook, and in recent years (and even up to the recent dev betas of Big Sur) it really has been a struggle to maintain some semblance of good performance. I think this was largely due to my use of Chrome and other non-Apple apps, which often...

    Strange iCloud issue that almost locked me out of my iPhone - unsure if it's a Big Sur, M1, or iOS problem

    This is a very weird one... so got my M1 MBA yesterday and have been setting it all up. I upgraded to Big Sur 11.0.1 as soon as I got it out the box. Then I signed into iCloud, unticked the stuff I didn't want to use, the stuff I kept ticked synced fine (and still does), I was able to download...
