    Hardware Q: Upgrading wifi module in 2015 MBP 15in

    I'm sure I know the answer to this already but thought to ask minds more knowledgable... Can the wifi module in the 2015 MBP (A1398/11,5) be upgraded to an ax/Wifi 6 version? This isn't as unlikely as it might sound. It was possible to do this with earlier MBPs. But all I can find while...

    Can I stop using 'broadcast SSID' and MAC addresses? Really?

    Looking at a doc on the Apple site it seems that I don't need to hide my SSID or use MAC addressing anymore. Is that correct/advisable? I'm about to set up a new router, but will need to use WPA2 security due to the age of my attached kit. Does Apple's advice still apply, or are they really...
