    Safe to use 96W USB-C power adaptor for MagSafe2 2015 15” MacBook Pro

    My friggin’ cat has chewed through my MacBook Pro power cable for the THIRD TIME! My MacBook Pro is a mid-2015 15” Retina, which takes a MagSafe2 connector. The standard Apple power brick for this model is 85W (18.5v / 4.6A). I’ve had this idea that I could use one of the newer Apple USB-C...

    I am curious, and I can't seem to find the info - when you plug in your iPhone or iPad in your Mac, it gets charged. It's hard for me to estimate how fast this is (I usually leave them overnight anyway) but I'm curious. Is it closer to those old 5W chargers or to the new 20W ones. I'm talking...

    MBP '19: SD card reading issues

    I've been having trouble reading SD cards with my Macbook Pro (15", 2019, MacOS 11.4). It doesn't have a built-in card reader, so I use a USB-C hub with card slot, and also a USB SD card reader, which I use with a USB adapter. I've had intermittent problems for a long time, where SD cards...

    Laptop Cooling Pad USB-C connection issues

    My Macbook Pro with all USB-C ports won't accept any cooling fan with a USB-C Male end. I know they all work because I've used all the ports for other things and still do. But for some reason, they don't like cooling pads. The only option I found that seems to work is this USB-A with two male...
