    Comparing copies of big binary files?

    Is there a simple good app for this? Meaning a real simple GUI, so that there's no need to write notes and google for an hour, when you use it once a year? Not something like most, like Apple's Filemerge: hogging all RAM and then crashing a whole system. Let's say I want to compare a copied 6GB...

    iPhone XR iPhone XR battery really that great?

    I have the Xr and I'm really enjoying it. I came from an 8, so it's clearly a step up in battery life. But my question is comparing to the Xs. Every battery test I'm seeing online is showing the Xs to be on par with, if not better than the battery life than the Xr. And yes I'm talking about...

    MBP 2013 vs MB 2017

    Hi all, I'm looking for a stopgap (perhaps one year) machine mainly for running Xcode. The choice is between a late 2013 13" MacBook Pro (8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) and last year's base MacBook.
