    macOS Sonoma desktop widgets - What's the point?

    I bit the bullet and installed Sonoma then thought I'd take a look at adding some widgets to my DeskTop. Some widgets operate as one would hope (e.g., Weather) but others just seem useless. For example, there's a Google Maps widget that I can successfully add to the DeskTop. I click on the...

    How does it work (macOS "update system")? MacOS Monterey update?

    Hello, everyone! As we know, today is the release day of the new macOS Sonoma. But I don’t quite understand, how does macOS "update system" work (I’m new to Mac). I’m currently on macOS Monterey 12.5 (Macbook Pro 16 2021), and there are two update options for me - macOS Ventura 13.6 and macOS...

    Possible FaceID for macOS

    I just put macOS 14 beta 5 on my work computer for testing. After some poking around to fix an Extension Attribute issue in Jamf Pro, I stumbled across a change in macOS 14's bioutil.

    Does iOS 17 upgrade notes/reminders to be incompatible with previous versions?

    Despite my 2017 MacBook Pro still being incredibly snappy, it will not be compatible with the next macOS. So if I upgrade my iPad and iPhone to iOS 17, will my notes/reminders/anything else be upgraded to a version that will no longer sync or be compatible with my Mac?

    MacOS Sonoma tribute to Windows XP?

    Have any of you realized that the Windows XP hill (the bliss wallpaper) was shot in Sonoma, California, the same place MacOS Sonoma was named after? Was this purposeful? Maybe Apple is making a tribute to Windows XP? Or possibly their “Get a Mac” ad campaign, which started when XP was still the...

    Has Apple reinvented dynamic wallpaper?

    As unimportant a change it may have been in the grand scheme of things, many of us were disappointed by the abrupt disappearance in macOS Monterey of the dynamic landscape wallpapers included in Mojave, Catalina and Big Sur. There was something compelling about the way these changed subtly to...
