    Search for text inside MS Word files

    I could swear I did this before, but now it appears to not work. I have over 100 MS Word files, and I don't want to have to open each one individually to look for various phrases or words. Can't I just search at the folder level, and have it look inside each of those documents without having to...

    Messages - Command+Option+Delete Stopped Working

    Anyone else experiencing this or find the fix? I just updated to 10.13.5 on my MacBook Pro, and it appears they've removed the ability to use command-option-delete to delete a message and bypass the annoying confirmation warnings. Even when I view the "file" menu, and hit option, it doesn't...

    wtf happened to dictionaries in 10.13.4?

    After updating to High Sierra 10.13.4 the dictionary is rather bare; it only shows Wikipedia and has gotten rid of the English dictionary, Apple dictionary, thesaurus, and foreign language tabs: Also: clicking on any links in the dictionary now just opens a tab in your browser, which is super...

I was charging it all the time with the rear port on the left side, just because I was used to this position for years now, with my previous MacBooks.
