    Remap external volume knob/wheel to fine volume control

    This has been a continuing annoyance for me. I love external knobs, have had them on my keyboards and recently purchased a big wheel just to have on the side. Because I love the feeling of wheeling! Feels great when I'm booted in Windows, I have 100 steps of volume to always play with. On MacOS...

    Way to disable apps taking over focus?

    I found this mega annoying on Windows and was hoping it would not be an issue on my Mac. But it is! 😢 Let's say I'm working on something inside one app - typing an email, and then another app that I launched before takes over and I'm now typing inside of it. Grr! Maybe that app was stuck and...

    How much 'System Data' does your Mac Have?

    I'm trying to live with my 128GB 2017 MacBook Pro. Every time I have to run a software update I usually have to uninstall programs and delete all my extra files. It's really a pain in the butt; but what's MORE annoying is that macOS uses most of my drive. Is this a lot for 'System Data'...

    Can't login on Reddit in Safari

    Is there a way that MacOS can fill in passwords in Chrome? I don't really want to export my passwords to Chrome if I can avoid it, as I would rather not have all my passwords in my iCloud and Google account. (I have to use Chrome for Work, but use Safari for most other things). If I did decide...

    Stuttery/choppy/low framerate animations

    So I've been a lifelong Windows user and last month made the leap to buy a 24" iMac M1 with 16GB of RAM. One thing that's been bugging me is that most of the UI animations in macOS are choppy looking/low framerate and often slow. At first I thought that maybe I'm just used to 120hz on my iPhone...
