    Hello, I figure this might be a good place to ask, but does anyone know if there's a way to automatically switch the default browser based on current focus mode?

    Disable annoying physical Do Not Disturb switch

    This is a problem I've been having for a while now that is both ridiculously trivial and insanely annoying, and where so far I'm not having much luck finding any real fixes for it. I'm referring to the tiny “Silent Mode” / “Do-Not-Disturb” (“Focus”) switch that has been on the left side of most...

    Hi, I use an LG 4K monitor that works like a charm when I use HDMI directly with the Mac Mini 2020. Would like to use a Sonos Beam soundbar and in order to do that, I'm using an HDMI switch audio extractor. I wondered if I could get the audio to work but to my surprise, there's no video...
