    Downgrade Big Sur from 11.1b1 to 11.01 on another disk or volume

    Automatic App Updates Reliable Yet?

    Like a lot of people, my parents never think to open the App Store to update their apps, and with the recent redesign to the way app updates are accessed, I'm sure they wouldn't even know where to look for them.
