    Ureka, have I figured it out? Why can't we UPGRADE!?!

    So I'm sitting there, on the royal throne as we typically surf the web. I don't know if this has been discussed, or not, since I don't frequent the forums. I've been a Mac guy since back when the 56k was out. SO, this is what I've concluded. Subscription based model. It's so infuriating...

Or what are the recommended M4 specifications? If anyone has experience running Stable Diffusion on other M4 configurations, please...

    Can't type in iPhone during mirroring

    Hi all, Sory, I tried looking but I can't find anything about this issue. When I use iPhone mirroring, I can't type anything using my Mac's keyboard. I can do everything else except type which is weird. Is this intentional behaviour or is there a way to get it working? Its the same on both...

    WindowServer Discussion

    I've just bought a M4 Mac mini and considering 4k or 5k monitor should buy. But now I am confused with the WindowServer's theory. In theory higher resolution will cause more RAM usage in WindowServer, So I went to Apple Store and checked how much RAM WindowServer would take on StudioDisplay(5k)...

    Apple Intelligence: How much RAM does it actually use?

    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...
