    Ideas for a redundant Mac mini

    Apologies for what's probably going to be a loaded question. I ended up with a new M2 base Mac mini and after thinking about giving it to a friend/family member or selling it, I'm leaning towards neither option because it doesn't make sense with the formers' current setups, and the resale vale...

    MacOS Sonoma tribute to Windows XP?

    Have any of you realized that the Windows XP hill (the bliss wallpaper) was shot in Sonoma, California, the same place MacOS Sonoma was named after? Was this purposeful?

    Hi everyone, I’ve been tasked at work to create a word template or look for an app that allows users to fill in information on the form and auto populate. I’m hoping that makes sense.

    Safari - group all tabs of same site in same window - App or feature request

    Hi all, As someone who often has unmanageable numbers of tabs open (I'm talking hundreds), I'm always in need of management tools to get a handle on it. One thing that would help a lot is a plugin/app/feature that would group all open tabs from the same site. For instance, if I have 10...

    How do I deal with "._*" files when I need to give a flash drive to a Windows user?

    My client likes to receive his files on a flash drive. I have a Mac Pro (2020, Monterey). He has Windows.

    Those of you with a Studio Display and are using it with a Windows PC. How is your experience?

    I'm looking to put together a PC and get an ASD because it's the only available option in terms of glossy screens that aren't ultrawide gaming monitors, which are horrible for illustrative uses. I know when the display first came out, it was rather difficult to acquire access to brightness...
