    Battery Health Plan

    Was handed down a 2019 15” MacBook Pro and am going to use it in a remote office. As it will be stationary on a desk the entire time, wanted to know the best way to treat the internal battery. Apple recommends fully discharging it once a month. Do I just keep it plugged in the rest of the time...

    Self service and new Macbook Pro's

    After 5 years (of running Windows and Linux) it's time to switch back to mac. I'm waiting for newer MBP's to come (M2). The major thing holding me back (before I plunge €3000 on a laptop) is the upgradability/repairability, more specific: the possibility of expanding ram and/or replacing the...

    15-inch MacBook is my dream machine

    13 inch MBP user here and it is not an M1. Phew.. Yeah, it sucks at this point. I have long waited for the day I finally give this machine a proper place called the bottom drawer and embrace the sassy new Apple Silicon Mac. But I don't like MBPs to be honest. They have this flat and thick...

    It just started happening in the past two days. I spoke to Apple and it seems like this is a copyright issue when recording on streaming services. For example, I did a quick video shot of the show Jeopardy. I took a screenshot image before I started recording and then another one after. Only the...

    I got my MacBook Pro (14 base) today, however I am noticing that there is a faint yellow or green vertical band (yellow tint area) to the left of the notch, very close to the edge of it.
