    I’m keeping my 2019 Intel MacBook Pro… FOREVER!!

    Yep, that’s right. I’ve purchased my fair share of Macs for myself and my family over the last 10 years And have been very happy with every purchase. Every machine has lasted for at least 5 years, most longer than that before trading them in for newer models. And in the last 2 years I started...

    M1 16" MBP w/ 65w monitor - OK?

    I've got a M1 16" MBP that I currently use with the Dell S2722QC monitor. I like to minimize the number of wires on my desk so I only have the monitor plugged into my laptop. However, it just occurred to me that the monitor I use provides 65w. Is this a problem? Will it damage my MBP battery?

    2010 MacBook Pro "Retina Display"

    I'll start by saying that this "hack" is not for everyone. It is certainly not elegant, and for people who need to move their laptops around often it might not be practical. But, if you have an older Unibody MacBook Pro and feel like it has plenty of life left in it, then read on. Also, if...

    M1 Kernel Panic When logging in after sleep

    I got an M1 Pro (16") earlier this year and have been having kernel since I got the machine though it has been more frequent in the last three months. It crashes when the notebook is in sleep mode. I have contacted Apple multiple times, and they haven't been able to find anything - the...

    PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation) on MacBooks compared to iPhones and iPads

    Hey, I was wondering if anyone has any informations about PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation) and how it compares across devices. I have an iPhone 12 and an iPad Pro (m1). They don't have any adverse effects on me. Now I have a MacBook pro 14 and find the screen tiring. I'd thought the MacBook pro 14...

    Been making AI images between my 14 inch MBP and my gaming PC. My findings:

    So yesterday I started playing around with AI Image Generation (and in turn also became an enemy to all artists everywhere.) 🥴 So I have two AI generators using Stable Diffusion: NMKD on my gaming PC, and DiffusionBee on my 14 inch Macbook Pro. My gaming PC has a 9th gen i7 and an RTX 3060, and...

    iPad Fuse the ipad and MacBook Pro into one?

    I own a M1 MacBook Pro and 12.9“ iPad Pro. Being a digital illustrator, I primarily use the iPad for Procreate and handwriting notes. In my opinion, however, iPadOS is a feeble alternative to MacOS for everything else. Professional work, document editing and even navigation. Apps threaten to...

    This week was a sweet one for me. Monday morning I arrived at work, but got an email that I need to be else where.

    iOS 16 device backups: supported with macOS El Capitan (10.11.6) and newer!

    Whew - iOS releases have gotten to be quite a nail-biter time of year for me with my ol' macOS 10.13 High Sierra! Glad to see those of us with macOS 10.11+ still have the ability to backup our phones with the shiny new iOS version.

    MacBook Pro Mid 2012 15” Problem

    I have a MacBook Pro Mid 2012 15” Retina A1398 and I am currently experiencing a few issues. Hope I’m posting this in the correct place. (For context) my MBP has 2 partitions, one 10.7 Lion partition (mainly for testing) and 10.15 partition (for daily use). So I cleaned out the fans of my MBP...

    MacBook Pro retina 2013 - logic board CPU broken?

    Hi guys, I recently upgraded to a new MacBook Pro because my 2013 model stopped powering on. I had it taken to a repair shop where they changed the battery and looked at it for a while but said the issue was with the logic board and that it would be expensive to replace. I pulled it out of...

    I think I've found the best way to remove the notch on MacBooks

    I was inspired by this post on StackExchange. Adjust screen resolution to 16:10, and everything should go below the notch. I don't have a MacBook with a notch, so I went to an Apple Store to give this idea a try. The first two things that came to my mind are SwitchResX (as in that post) and...

    So I've got a co-worker with a 2020 M1 13" MBP. I understand that it cannot support dual monitors. However, I am under the impression that there are work-arounds? Has anyone tried these?

    The display of my MacBook Pro completely dies some two minutes after turning on the machine. I get the , I get the progress bar and login screen. I log in. And either shortly after I'm in or during the start up process the screen goes black. No backlight, not even the screen itself without the...
