    I have recently taken an interest in early iOS devices as nostalgic purpose-built tools to enhance both recreation and productivity, as well as primitive touchscreen-based prototypes for what would eventually become the Apple Silicon Macs.

    Sound in audio apps runs too slowly over time

    Hi all, in apps with such as Safari, but also the Music app in macOS 14.4.1, the sound plays too slowly after a while. You can also see this because, the sound in YouTube videos plays slower than the video. At first I thought this was due to YouTube, or to the cache or Cockies in general. But...

    Background: Bought a 14" M3 Max 64G 1TB. Thought it was great. Did a test export with Devinci Resolve (details to follow) and it took 37s. Decided however 1TB was to small for my work flow. Returned it and ordered 14" M3 Max 64GB 2TB. Tried the same export. 1m 4s. May not seem like a big...

    macOS PSA: Bypass Gatekeeper for faster builds/development cycles

    A few years late on this, but apparently when Gatekeeper was added in Catalina, it caused quite the splash (see Allan Odgaard's post, MacOS Catalina: Slow by Design).

    iCloud Mac Photos "Download Originals" Sync is so slow on macos

    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...
