    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...

    iPhone 13 iPhone stuck, can't access iCloud

    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...

    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...

    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...

    I’ve been having troubles with Outlook lately, namely in crafting an email it automatically shuts down and moves to draft. Super annoying. Anyway; been testing the mail app full time this week and I think I might switch to it full time. I actually like the smartbox feature and easier to read...

    I have my own personal Mac that I use at work. It seems that every time I VPN into the work network my terminal permissions change along with the hostname. It seems that they are able to manage my Mac. I do use Outlook signed in with my work credentials, but I am not sure if that allows them to...
