    Dock Syncing

    One feature I miss from the .Mac days was Dock syncing between Mac's. It was great when setting up a new Mac, especially if you had a Mac Pro or iMac and MacBook. I also noticed when setting up a new Mac, all the accounts setup under your iCloud ID aren't automatically added. Unless I'm missing...

    How is it the desktop iCloud website is such a slow, clunky mess still in 2020?

    Every time I need to head to iCloud.com on any of my Macs, it is by far the slowly loading, poorly performing website I ever have to visit. Sometimes it just stalls out on loading the landing screen and I have to refresh the page. It causes the fans on my 2017 15" MBP to spin up just sitting on...
