    Apple Silicon Mac Pro Use Cases

    Hi everyone, I’ve been wondering what sorts of uses the current Mac Pro exists to fulfill. I know it’s not as customizable/expandable as the Intel model, but that it still allows some measure of expansion (PCIe ports?). How can it be expanded? What sorts of modifications would people make, and...

    My theories on why Apple's software quality has degraded so much.

    The Haus of Apple OS: How a Thousand Paper cuts killed “It Just Works” There’s an old saying: Apple has money. They have more than enough money. But what money cannot buy—at least not directly—is time, discipline, and humility. And those are exactly what Apple’s operating systems are missing...

    Any using iOS/iPadOS 26, but still using Sequoia for macOS?

    I'm seriously hating what I've seen so far of LiquidGlass on macOS 26.2 To paraphrase some famous words "One giant step backward for Mac-kind" But as far as I can see the implementation on iOS and iPad is less-worse, and I want to upgrade my iPhone & iPad to take advantage of latest security...

    Mac OS 26 Is Utter Garbage and Apple Has truly lost its way....

    It's clear that the next generation of useless engineers are completely taking over those that built the iPhone and OS X, and it's a sad day. I have never thought I would say I would be installing garbage from Apple, but here it is. OS 26 Tahoa is truly garbage and an affront to what Jobs and...

    Sequoia cannot be installed on M5 Macbook. Silly me.

    I'm glad you cannot be killed by regret. Bought a brand new M5 Macbook Pro and for the third time I really tried to use Tahoe. Gave up. Erased everything and voilà, you cannot clean install anything but Tahoe. Thanks, Apple. Really silly, but I guess stupidity is on me for not asking first at...

    Spaces in vertical spaces, is there a way?

    Hey there. I'm a heavy user of Spaces, usually two to the left and two to the right 24/7. I wonder if there's a way to use Spaces using "up and down" spaces as well? A third-party app, maybe? It would be a blast, wouldn't it?
