I often use my MacBook in front of a school computer, and if...

    Hi everyone :) I bought a new Mac Mini yesterday and I tore it apart immediately to build in a SSD. It runs great and I love it so far! Now my idea was to keep the Mac mini in sleep mode while I am not using it. Unfortunately all the USB devices stay on when I put it into sleep. I have a...

    Touch Bar coming to iMacs?

    It's interesting that communication with the Touch Bar is via USB. It seems to me that that would allow for an external keyboard to have a Touch Bar. (A wired one, anyway. Maybe even wireless.) I wonder if something like this is coming to iMacs in the future. Might also be nice for MacMini and...
