    Maximum number of supported USB devices on MacOS? (Non-theoretical)

    Hello, I’ve been researching and searching all over for a year now trying to find this information. I’ve even contacted Apple support and they didn’t know the answer. I need to know the maximum number of supported USB devices on MacOS. I know the theoretical maximum is well over 100 but I’m...

    iOS 16 device backups: supported with macOS El Capitan (10.11.6) and newer!

    Whew - iOS releases have gotten to be quite a nail-biter time of year for me with my ol' macOS 10.13 High Sierra! Glad to see those of us with macOS 10.11+ still have the ability to backup our phones with the shiny new iOS version.

    macOS or Windows App That Can Detect if An SSD is a Fake & How Fast It Is?

    Hello Mac & Apple friends. Is there an app that can know, once you buy an SSD (SATA internal or M.2 NVME or AHCI). There are, sadly techniques that say a certain SSD has this much capacity but sometimes it's really just half or less. There are also straight fakes that use the name of say...

    Do you also agree that MacOS quality has been on a downhill lately?

    Ever since Catalina I feel like MacOS quality control is declining. I am currently on Ventura in my personal MBP16 and using Monterrey on my work laptop, the amount of glitches in both versions is incredible, there is also quite a lot of mismatching UI elements. Releases come and go and problems...

    Anyone else have a larger user icon after updating to 12.5.1?

    I installed the 12.5.1 update and I've noticed that my User icon (that's shown above the password field at startup or waking from sleep) seems much larger now. Before, the diameter was about an inch wide on screen, but now it seems more like 1.5 inches. Anyone else getting this? If so, have...

    I have to reluctantly conclude: macOS Monterey is a horrible product, quality-wise

    I have been a macOS user since the first appearance of MacOS X. After the initial start, macOS became a platform that I loved not just for the experience, but for its stability and performance. I would easily have a laptop running for many months without single reboot and without problems. I am...

    OS X The future of Mac gaming is bright

    I’m writing this post on a decade-old 13-inch MacBook Pro with absolutely miserable graphics hardware that was miserable the day this computer was manufactured. It used to be that the 13-inch MacBook Pro, a very popular computer in the heyday of this particular model, was abysmal as a gaming...
