    Do we think Apple even wants people to just use an iPad?

    So I've kind of been circling this question in recent weeks and I'd be really interested to know what others thought. Today I watched a video by Noah Hermann on YouTube in which he says 'Apple wants you to buy both a Mac and an iPad' and this really led me to pause and reflect on this. I...

    History of the command key

    I only knew a little bit of this. I think this guy makes great videos about Apple. He is sometimes critical of some of the decisions Apple makes, so this channel is not for you if you want a content creator who praises everything Apple does.

    Adding storage

    So it's possible to upgrade the internal storage of a new Mac, but my response to this video is HELL NO! I bought an external 8 TB Samsung SSD, and it was a fraction of cost of buying that much internal storage at the time of purchase and way easier than trying to replace the storage. For the...

    Ipad as the only display for Max

    Hello everyone. I often use my ipad as a second monitor for my Mac. A long time ago, I saw from some blogger how he made a separate keyboard shortcut so that the ipad could connect to the Mac as a display without the main one. That is, I turn on the Mac, press the keyboard shortcut and the ipad...

    Rome 2's relaunching on the Mac seems to be upsetting some misinformed PC gamers

    So there's a few PC gamers on the Rome 2 Steam forum who seem to think they have somehow been denied more content because the game is being re-launched on the Mac. They [ludicrously) think that Creative Assemblly could have done more DLC for Rome 2 instead of doing this. With Feral doing the job...

    Head Tracked Spatial Audio not working in FaceTime on Mac

    Am I the only one who can't use head tracking with FaceTime calls on Mac? I've contacted Apple Care and they concluded that the feature isn't available on Mac. But I can see at least two places on Apple's site that tells the opposite...
