    16" MacBook Pro Stuttering under iGPU

    Hi, I recently received a 16" MacBook Pro base model (i7 9750H, radeon 5300m 4gb, 16gb RAM) from my school and I've noticed that in a lot of use cases, especially Chrome, there is a lot of stuttering and lag while using the integrated intel UHD 630 GPU. This is frustrating as a student because I...

    How one Thunderbolt 4 port could support two 6K XDR

    I bought a Caldigit TS4, and the website show me it could run 2 XDR in 6K 60Hz over one TB4 cable. I understand M1 Pro / Max / Ultra can using DSC to do that, but I can't understand why 2019 MBP 16 with Navi Radeon Pro graphic card are unsupported, it also support DSC too. any way to explain that?

    Universal Control over USB

    Based on what Apple have stated here I would expect Universal Control to function over USB but it is not? 5 - iPad and Mac must not be sharing a mobile data and internet connection. To use over USB, you must trust your Mac on the iPad. macOS Monterey - New Features - Apple (UK) Is anyone else...

    Next Macs placeholders are right in front of us 2022-2023

    So, I believe the next Macs placeholders are already in the lineup right in front of our faces. #1 - the M1 MacBook Air at $999 is the placeholder for an M2 12-inch (12.2-12.4”) MacBook Air. Once stock is depleted of that enclosure (it’s the most popular Mac, so I’m sure the current production...

    M2 MacBook Air throttling is being vastly over-exaggerated

    From the evidence I've seen, I believe firmly that people are vastly overhyping the effects of the throttling in the M2 MacBook Air. The YouTube review I've seen so far with the most thorough benchmarks is Dave2D's, and he went so far as to say that "if you're someone that wants a very powerful...

    Hi all, After trying the iOS 16 developer beta for a couple days/weeks I decided it was time to go back to iOS 15, so I deleted the profile from my phone and started the resetting proces through my Macbook (do this once in a while to clean up the phone, never goes wrong). But before I did that...

    macOS QuickLook on Mac issues

    I'm trying to create a custom Quick Look preview on macOS. I've found the Quick Look Preview Extension target, which is brilliant, and does most of the 'heavy' lifting, but I've run into a few problems. I'm implementing a preview for MIDI files (which has been missing since 2009...) using...

    I previously purchased (and highly recommended) PDF Expert 2 for Mac. But with V3, they are moving to a subscription model.

    Apple Music Mac Music App Won't Close / Reopens

    I have noticed that for some time (probably my whole time in Monterey) that when I regular close the Music app on my Mac, it immediately starts bouncing again and reopens. This happens over and over unless I right-click the icon and close or force quit the app. Has anyone else seen this? Any...

    What does "Ask to join Personal Hotspots" do?

    This feature seems to be quite new. I assume it works like this: - I connect to a personal hotspot for the first time and tell the Mac to remember it. - The Mac saves the hotspot. By default Auto-Join (under Wi-Fi > Preferred Networks) is activated for this hotspot. - If Ask to join Personal...
