    I'm running Catalina, but considering upgrading to Big Sur or Monterey. As of Big Sur, I know /Applications is mounted as read-only. That’s problematic for me because I keep folders of app-specific documentation and serial numbers in /Applications. Once I upgrade MacOS, I won’t be able to...

    So I bought a Late 2013 MacBook Pro 15" dual graphics a few years back with no SSD. I think got an adapter and used my own NVME SSD. Since I updated to Big Sur, the firmware had not been updated. Still have the old bong and the old-style boot menu. System report says "System Firmware Version...

    Best OS for 2019 iMac, for performance & stability: 11.6 or 12.4?

    Just picked up a 27" 2019 iMac (i9/580X). What's the best OS if the criteria are just performance (e.g., minimal interface lag) and stability: 11.6 (Big Sur), or 12.4 (Monterey)? I don't care about the feature differences between the two, and my apps will run fine on both. Monterey is...

So, local data has to be backed up manually which means getting some, very likely missing some and not getting any settings. My 2020 13" MacBook Pro is suffering from the 'reboot with every sleep'...

    I'm still running Catalina because I don't want to mess anything up on my machine. I'm not an experienced programmer and I would hate to have directories misplaced and then have to troubleshoot because I probably wouldn't know what to do on my own. However, here are some new features that I...
