Have a 2013 and an Early 2015 13" 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 8GB RAM MacBook Air running High Sierra. Considering upgrading and wondering how much slower the machines will become.

I'd like to add a large number of words used in my work to Voice Control. However, the UI in the Accessibility preference panel only allows entering one word at a time. In Catalina, I believe Voice Control with US English uses Siri's voice recognition. I can't find the dictionary or other...

Hey all, I've read countless forums and posts about the charging issues with the new MBP. My MBP charges really slow at max 6watts. I have no apps open, I've turned off the battery health management and dimmed the screen right down. I have also done all the SMC and PRAM etc resets with no...

Hi! I have been facing this issue since High Sierra but it has been unbearable in Catalina. If the mac is put to sleep for more than an hour the iGPU speed tanks to 200Mhz and doesn't boost at all. This causes the UI to stutter and makes the whole system unusable. Only a restart fixes it. I...
