    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...

I’m hoping someone who has already turn on Advanced Data Protection, and has the appropriate hardware, can physically test this and confirm.

    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...

    I use iCloud on my Macs (iMac and MBA) and I am having serious issues lately with iCloud downloading very large files which are stored in iCloud Drive and which I made offline. I don't need them to be downloaded to the computer but macOS just downloads for the hell of it. I deleted some...

    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'...

    Mac Studio multi display management: Rinse and repeat 10+ times a day

    It shouldn’t be this hard. In fact, it should be “super easy; barely an inconvenience!” as the Quebecois says on YouTube.
