    Difficult decision: Should I try to "refurbish" my own MacBook Pro?

    Hi everyone, I'm kind of in a special situation. I've got a late 2016 MacBook Pro 15" with the most expensive specs (back then) which is still serving me well.

    Windows Registry Editor : Disable BootCamp Apple Software Updates

    Hi all, very niche question. Sometimes apple releases software and driver updates for things such as WIFI, Bluetooth, and most recently trackpad precision for T2 chip models. My limited knowledge of the registry editor leads me to believe that these pop ups/updates/ install requests can be...

    Nobody’s Talking About the M2 Mac Mini

    With Gurman and others expecting new Macs as early as this month, a lot of attention has been focused towards the updated M2 Pro and M2 Max chips. These will undeniably be the showstoppers of any possible event (or press releases), but I have a suspicion that if the Mac Mini is getting an...

    Hi there, I recently got 2 x Dell U32Q19 and decided to hook them up to my Mac Mini M1 using USB-C to USB-C and HDMI to HDMI. At first it looked quite alright, however I noticed that the one connected with HDM seemed a bit more flurry. I figured that the input color format of the monitor was...

    Hi all, I think my 2012 mini is on its last legs, (currently won't get past the boot screen), and I’m wondering how I'm going to transition from its 4tb ssd internal boot drive to the options available now from Apple. I use the mini as a photos backup point (amongst other things), with iCloud...

    I just got a new Mac Mini M1 and am using OS 12.4. The merge folders option isn't working, though.
