    Lockdown Mode and privacy issues

    I understand that Lockdown Mode (on iOS, iPadOS and macOS) is to increase security. But I read somewhere (IT tech website) that if Lockdown Mode enabled, there would be have some negative impact on your device's privacy.

    The software on my iPhone is extremely slow!

    I converted a macOS programme for the iPhone. WOW!!! Is that slow? At first, I wondered if I was making a lot of disc accesses. However, as I began to examine, I realised I was just reading an offset from a binary file. Only roughly 512 bytes of data were read in. I also have a sizable array...

    I was getting weird ScreenTime notifications. Then I found "montgomerycountymd.gov" in my App Limits settings. Problem is I NEVER even visited this site on any of my devices let alone adding it to App Limits. Is this just a bug or should I be worried about device security? I ran a Malwarebytes...

    Login In Screen Frozen

    I found this weird bug earlier in Ventura today. I booted up my MacBook Pro, and once I clicked enter the screen froze and displayed like 10 ten bars at the bottom of the display. The MacBook was not responding at all. It stayed like that for over 10 minutes, so I finally had enough and luckily...

    What's your preferred macOS browser, and why?

    Hey all, I'm curious what your preferred macOS browser is. Google/gmail is always suggesting I convert to Chrome from Safari and I contemplate it; but I really love the integration with keychain in Safari. If you've made the switch from Safari and have never looked back, what drew you to the...

    There're many comments, in various threads, wishing Apple would slow down, or even stop, adding software features, and focus on tightening-up their software. Many often cite Snow Leopard as being the heyday for Apple's "it just works" age, and I'm sure there's a similar reference for iOS. As...

    "Create PDF" as individual files versus a combined file

    Hey everyone, I've posted this question on Reddit, but didn't get any response. I've found the "Create PDF" from the Quick Actions menu in the finder to be incredibly useful. However, it seems like the only option it offers is a combined PDF. So if I say, selected multiple images, it would...
