    iMac M1 + M3 - USB-C accessories

    Hey, I've talked with Apple Support to get a trackpad for my green 2021 iMac and they say that I can order it with USB-C, so i think that means all the accessories you want to order for your M1/M3 iMac are now USB-C, so you don't have to upgrade for these accessories (especially as the back...

    M1 Ultra gpu broken?

    After 9 months my Mac Studio M1 Ultra suddenly started displaying the screen bisected in two with a different colour cast on each side. Apple has said to bring it in with no suggestion of software fixes etc so I'm guessing this is a hardware issue - there doesn't seem to be anything on the web...

    Is my disk usage normal?

    Hi everyone, I was looking at Activity Monitor today and I noticed after 12 days of uptime, I've written around 125gb to the SSD. Most of it from kernel task. I've just been web browsing and doing some light gaming. Is this normal and why is kernel task using so much? I'm also barely writing any...

    Do QHD external monitors look bad on M1 Max?

    Hi there, I currently use a u4021qw (WUHD 5120 x 2160) and the font and images look great. I recently started playing around with a LG 38wn95c-w (QHD 3840x1600) and noticed that the fonts look much worse. I was looking at the forums and there is mention that M1 processors do not handle external...

    Fuzzy/Blurry DELL U3818DW 38" using M1 Pro 16" MacBook

    I got my new 2021 16" M1 Pro, replacing my 2019 16" Intel MacBook. To my great disappointment, the DELL U3818DW 38" external monitor is extremely fuzzy and blurry (especially visible on fonts) on the M1 Pro compared to the Intel 16" MacBook which I was using up until now. No monitor settings...

    Security on the M1 SOC vs Intel

    Came across an interesting Twitter thread about how security conscious Apple’s M1 is relative to Intel. The thread continues for awhile, has multiple sub threads, and is an interesting read overall. Simplified TLDR: basically while no system is perfect, security is much tighter in Apple’s...
