Of course, I can access them via the Google Photos app and website, but it would be great if I could just keep them...

    Bring Back Mac OS Startup Sound (2016+ Macs)

    Found this thread on Reddit last night and thought I’d share with my fellow Mac OS users who miss that Mac startup noise: This worked for me on my 2017 MBP. Always loved this startup noise with my Macs (2014 Mac Mini, 2015 MBA) - was pretty bummed when my 2017 MBP didn’t have it. Wall-E is...

    Will there ever be MacBook Pros (or Macs) with refresh rates higher than 60Hz?

    They already made the jump to 120Hz on iPad right? I'd love to make the jump to Macintosh computing but the refresh rate is a deal breaker. Due to my Windows set-up I am used to 144Hz refresh rates and hence everything else looks very cheap and stuttery to me.
