    macOS Do you have to be on the latest MacOS for Xcode?

    I'm using my late 2013 MacBook Pro 13" to develop apps and games with Xcode. Now, from what I understand, I won't be able to run monterey since my MacBook is too old. Would it be best to buy a new Mac or is there any other way to get around this? I guess it's possible to wait and use the older...

    Upgrade 2017 iMac to Catalinna or Big Sur

    I'm a light user, primarily focused on stability and security rather than performance. I'm still running High Sierra on my 2017 iMac and Mojave on my 2017 MacBook. Should I upgrade to Catalina or directly to Big Sur? The only new features I care about at all are modest interest in...

    What is a good menu bar event countdown timer app?

    There are certain events where I would like to know, at a glance, how many days from the current date until the event. I don’t need to know anything more granular than the number of days for my purposes, but it’s fine if it has the hours and/hour minutes as well. Think of events like an...

    Mac OS forces me to restore?

    So my old iPhone got smashed, and I got a new one from my insurance and set it up as a new device, to get a new slate. However, when I connect it to my mac, these are the only options I get, and I don't want either of them. Is there any way around this? I just want to add files on VLC. 😂
