    Interesting article: M1 Thunderbolt ports don’t fully support USB 3.1 Gen 2

    I just came across this article from yesterday, which is making my search for an external HDD and SDD enclosure even more complicated. I was just about to order a Sabrent 4-bay enclosure (+ SSD brackets), but now I am not so sure. I don't really need Thunderbolt for my SATA HDDs and SDDs but I...

Now the MBP is dead and I got a M1 Macbook that only has USB C. I bought a USB C hub but when I charge the...

    Which USB "end" will be on the Series 7 watch charger?

    Will it stay as USB-A or will they finally transition to USB-C...? I'm hoping they finally go full USB-C.

    Is it possible to update or tweak the USB_A-to-HDMI adapter firmware to make it compatible with a Mac?

    I bought a USB 3.0 (USB-A) to HDMI adapter but was too late to notice it wouldn't work with Mac - Windows only; as such my Mac simply won't recognize my Sony TV. Unfortunately a return is not possible due to the damaged package, so I thought since there's the Device Firmware Update mode which is...
