    Hello guys, I bought a m1 mini and I'm looking for a monitor to complete the setup. I'm looking at used options, and I was in doubt between the Thunderbolt Display (in the box, conserved and already comes with the TB2-TB3 adapter) and the LG Ultrafine 21.5 4K (2017 model, without a box, but also...

    My M1 MBA is directly connected to DELL U2720Q with a single USB-C cable. HDR is turned on in both MacOS and the monitor (as DisplayHDR).

    Mac Quality Monitor for MacBook Air

    I've used variations of MacBook Pro's since first switching to Mac in 2007 and recently went from a 2016 Retina MacBook Pro to the new MacBook Air. I bought a 24" 1080p monitor for around £200 knowing the resolution wouldn't be as high, but damn. It was ugly after coming from a Mac display. I...

    macOS IDE to use for C++ on M1 Mac

    I am a new owner of M1 Mac Mini. I am just learning some C++ programming and sometimes leetcoding. I noticed that one can't use code::blocks on m1 natively and I think eclipse/vs community are just a bit too heavy for what I am working on. xcode is really complicated. For C++ pros on this...

As many are already aware (and to those who are new to this issue), the problem was largely fixed by macOS...

    PSA: Sideloading iOS apps blocked on 11.3 (but still working on 11.2.3)

    Thanks to my buddy @leons who’s updated to 11.3, I’ve just been notified of this. I myself have stayed on 11.2.3 and all aspects of sideloading still work as always. Installing apps by the traditional sideloading methods on 11.3, and running sideloaded apps you have already installed, has been...

    MacBook Air M1 with 4K monitor

    Hey, I was thinking about getting a new external monitor for my MacBook Air M1. From what I can tell, the Dell P2721Q 27-inch 4K USB-C Monitor seems like a good choice. I would like to get 4K at 60Hz through USB-C, so that I can use the Monitor-MacBook as a "one-cable-setup" . From what I...
