    Thoughts on Dead Thunderbolt Ports?

    Wonder if anyone else has experienced this. I have a 2018 MBP (2.6 I7 512gb 16gb ram). On Friday, all 4 thunderbolt ports refused to charge, recognize any peripherals.

Three, darkest wallpapers are...

    Current Best Value 4K USB-C Monitor w/>85W Power Delivery?

    I'm hunting for a monitor to use with an incoming standing desk. All the threads I've found on here were over a year old, and most of the articles I've seen were targeted at gamers or creative professionals.

    password autofill requires password

    10.14.4 appears to have implemented an annoying hurdle in safari password autofill. Each time we select to autofill a password or cc I have to put in my user password (or use touchid). This is painfully inconvenient as I'm using this 20x an hour. Do any of you brilliant genius masterminds...

    Hi there! I have a tough decision to make. Looking to replace my old iMac from late 2013 and I really love the Macbook pro-2018 model, not the previous models. The only reason I'm afraid of buying this one because of possible flex-gate issues even after a silent fix from Apple extending the...

    MB Pro 15' Late 2018 Camera Alignment

    Hi everyone, an OCD/Mac perfectionist question regarding my new 15 inch MacBook Pro - latest model... When I look at the camera it appears there is more black space above the camera to the top edge of the bezel and there is less space below down to the edge of the screen. Thus it's not quite...

    So I've been having this odd problem ever since i moved into student housing. In the beginning it was only mildly irritating so I ignored it; but it has since become much worse.
