    Can an old rMBP talk to a brand new Macbook?

    Hello. I am still using a 2013 rMBP. It works pretty well, except its original battery is dying. Time for an upgrade. I'll get a MBA15 or MBP M3 or something. Doesn't really matter...they'll be stupidly fast and more capable than what I have now. Say the new laptop arrives. Can I create a...

    I'm seeking recommendations for a new WiFi router, to replace my venerable Linksys WRT3200ACM. That's the last router I bought, and boy, things have sure changed between then and now in the world of routers. $600 routers? That's a new thing. Anyway, the short story is, this is a small...
