    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...

    Safari always using significant energy. How to fix this?

    I have a brand new MacBook Pro 16 inch with M1 Pro chip and 32 GB of RAM. Whenever I work on safari my battery stats always show that it is using significant energy even if only a single tab is open. Is it normal or something I should be worried about?

    default browser based on focus mode

    Hello, I figure this might be a good place to ask, but does anyone know if there's a way to automatically switch the default browser based on current focus mode? For work, I'm required to use Chrome, but prefer Safari for my personal use. It would be great if, during office hours, I could have...

    The best Mac OS X / macOS (2022)

    Ok, I can't find a modern Poll... so just for the thrill, time to vote on your favourite Apple Desktop Unix Operating. Sorry about not including all the early versions (shoot me if you like), but imho Snow Leopard easily beats anything before it. Multiple choices allowed.

    Drag a window with gesture?

    The space where a window is draggable (=basically empty space in menubar) seems to have shrunken for years now. I like how window title bars and menubars have been merged over the years to make better use of the vertical screen estate. But tbh I feel this makes it challenging at times to find a...

    macOS Restoring Bash and Python 2.7 on Monterey a good idea?

    Many years ago I taught myself some Bash and Python and wrote a couple of scripts which I still use all the time for work. So far this hasn't been a problem as I was still using Sierra on my old Mac. But now I just got a new Mac Studio running Monterey, which seems to have ditched both Bash and...

    Will M2 MacBooks stop getting MacOS updates at the same time their M1 counterparts?

    It looks like only minor differences are evident between M2 and M1 chips other than 50% increased memory bandwidth. But as far as I can tell the M1 Pro, M1 Max and M1 Ultra also have much greater bandwidth than M1. I'm thinking M1 machines will go first and then M1 Pro/Max/Ultra and M2 will...

    What is the point of Stage Manager when we have Spaces?

    I might be missing something here; I just don't understand what the benefit of Stage Manager is when Spaces offers similar benefits. Stage Manager puts app windows into 'clusters' that can be switched on the fly using a menu on the left (which, I should point out, hurts to look at). But Spaces...
