    Quick Delete Messages on Mac OS Monterey - Why Remove This??

    Why in the world would Apple remove the ability to quick delete messages in the Messages app on MacOS? This change is beyond frustrating. Is anyone aware of a way to enable the delete option when you hovered over a conversation? ?

    Which Mail service , Proton or Tutanota or iCloud is best at filtering spam

    I'm looking at those services and trying to decide which one is more customizable to filter unwanted mail. iCloud is the worse for what I know but using alias or hide my email maybe is a way of controlling it. Tutanota let you block a sender, but I don't like to leave my mail on any server...

    Windows moved after restart

    Often when I restart my Mac windows of either open or log-in apps aren't where they were before the restart, notably the "full screen" apps on my desktops are all in the same partially-off-screen position, which I find very annoying. How do I stop that behaviour once and for all? Or is this...

    Hit by dylib hijack virus...

    Update: I just flashed macOS to a USB thumb drive. The red box around the Apple logo still appeared. That rules out SSD issues. This is largely to keep others on their toes and provide information, but I do have questions. These are at the end. I am also attaching two EtreCheck reports, one...

    macOS Moving from Sierra to Monterey. Will my Bash and Python code survive?

    I am using Sierra right now but will be moving over to a new Mac soon. Many years ago I learned some basic programming (bash and python) and wrote a few little scripts that I still use a lot for work. I have since forgotten most of what I had learned, though.

    Clarification: 17" 2006 MacBook Pro Intel Core2Duo 2.33gHz (I think) Tldr; my 2006 Core2Duo MBP is useless because MacOS patchers only work with 2007 and later macs. Could I replace the cpu with a newer one to 'convert' it into a 2008 MBP? Alternatively, are there any web browsers that allow me...
