    I’m going to order a new Mac mini, and obviously the base RAM is now 16gb. We can assume this is to help out with AI in macOS rather than Apple being extremely generous. But how much RAM does AI actually require even at minimal use or idle? This seems like an unknown quantity at this point. I...

    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...

    What's this BS with iCloud Photos not syncing?

    I get this all the time. iCloud Photos not syncing, beacause of: 1. Battery optimisation (no low power mode, mind you!). 2. Poor network (even on great WiFi). 3. Computer too hot. 4. More to come? The same applies for both Macs and iPhones (don't have an iPad). At the same time Google Photos...
