    Battery drain during sleep on M1 Pro

    Hi all I closed the lid on my MacBook M1 Pro (14inch if that makes a difference) yesterday evening. Safari was the only open programme. I don't have wifi at the moment so it wasn't connected to wifi, so it wasn't getting mail etc. When I opened it in the morning it had drained around 15% (see...

    I couldn't find mentions of this specific issue. This info could be useful for others so I decided to post it. This should work in other apps too. My macOS Ventura installation is set in English; this is the language I use for the GUI in most apps, but I constantly change between typing in...

    OCLP (OpenCore Legacy Patcher) + Pixelmator Pro issue

    Config: Mac Pro 4,1/5,1 with OCLP (0.5.3 currently). In the past Pixelmator Pro correctly used my RX 580 for all "ML" features. This meant that ML Upscaling and the like worked extremely quickly. Now Pixelmator Pro is using the CPUs for ML functions, making those features almost unusable...

    Is there a way to stop FaceTime from taking over during incoming calls?

    I like the feature of taking calls on my Mac. But what is driving me crazy is that FaceTime seems to immediately become the foreground app, stopping all inputs to other apps. For example: If I'm typing while a call is coming in my keystrokes result in warning sounds. Of course, when I'm just...

    iCal notifications are driving me crazy

    When drag away iCal notifications, they reappear over and over again. It is very annoying. It's been like this since Big Sur. Now I'm using Monterey. I found an article that said it might be due to some home folder ACL rights. So I started up in Recovery Mode and ran 'repairHomePermissions'...
