    How to prevent window showing up when an app is brought up in another window

    Like this, if I switch the Mac to Safari, regardless of what the other screen is doing, Safari will pop up on that screen as well, which is pretty annoying.

    Why hasn't Apple updated the 13" MacBook Pro?

    Apple hasn't truly update the 13" model of the MacBook Pro since 2016, over 6 years ago, adding only the Touch Bar in 2018. I understand keeping the design the same with M1 and the first generation of Apple Silicon, but why did they keep the old, outdated design for M2? It seems to me like the...

    iCloud To access a file from arbitrary folder

    I have many Pages documents in different folders on my Mac and sometimes I need to edit them on an iPad. I tried to use iCloud for this, but it seems iCloud requires me to move them to the iCloud folder first, and this isn't convenient to me (that is, I want to keep them in their original...

    iMessage on Mac: Do you have it set up?

    Hi everyone, I’m curious: Do many of you have iMessages active on your Macs? I don’t know if it may be redundant to have it active on my Mac when I have my phone next to me, and messages with attachments can take up some space in the drive. I also worry if a ”spicy” pic gets received and...
