    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...

    Scheduled restart

    For quite a while I've had my computer doing a nightly unattended restart, using a schedule in Energy Saver prefs. This means it's all logged-in (including several login items) and ready for the start of the day. It seems to have worked well as a strategy for keeping the system running well...

    Broken screen and glitching

    I've had my Macbook Air since 2020 after my last computer broke. It was great in the beginning, worked super fast and had no real issues with it. Now a year and a bit down the line it's starting to act up. Tad slower, overheating, etc. I've always made sure to use it on flat surfaces, so...
