    Partitioning external storage

    As far as I read so far, time machine backups require apple specific formatting of external storage. If I also want to use the external storage as exchange medium for windows and Mac systems, I need something like ExFAT. Is it a good solution to partition the external storage in 50/50? 50%...

    What doesn't Time Machine back up / restore?

    If I don't exclude anything in my Time Machine settings, what doesn't macOS actually back up / restore? I recently sent my Mac in for a hardware repair and was surprised to find that the technicians wiped my hard drive, so I'm restoring from a Time Machine backup I made right before taking it in...

    Is something wrong with my new 2021 iMac 24”?

    I just received this iMac about 6 days ago. I ordered it officially through the Apple website. When I turned it on, the screen looked a little odd to me. Like there was too much light internal light shining through the display causing it to look overly bright and washed out in some areas. If...

    Is there any way to keep the screensaver running without sleep?

    I have a 27 inch iMac 2019 on Big Sur 11.5. I enjoy when it automatically goes to the screensaver when I'm not using it, but I don't like how the screen turns off after a few minutes—I want the screensaver to just stay there for longer without the computer going to sleep. Any way to do this...

    Tracker sequencers for Mac

    I was thinking about the old Amiga A500 I threw out a few years back and remembering back to what I used it for the most. I fondly recall the many hours spent using the SoundTracker MOD players and sequencers which I used to just cobble together throwaway bits of music with. Is there anything...

    Hi all! Way back in the day (circa 2012) I restarted the InsideMacGames podcast, and after a few episodes, I renamed it to my own thing. This ran for 30+ episodes, ending sometime in 2015. Honestly, I never did much to promote it. But I had some fabulous co-hosts, and we had some very fun...
