Weren't the previous Macbook Pro's released in Space Black already? What am I overlooking here? There were all the comparisons between the pro black and the air midnight black/blue...

This go around you can get the Space Black variant on the non-Pro chipped MacBook Pro (the plain M3 MBP was only available in Silver and Space Gray). So I guess that makes it a “new color” for that model now lol. 

As someone accustomed to using a Studio Display with a closed up 14" MacBook Pro (sitting in an aluminum stand), this new Mac Mini's power button is actually in a MORE convenient location haha. It's not an issue in my use case as the MacBook Pro pretty much stays on in standby all the time... But every once in a while if she needs a manual power cycle I have to take it outta the stand, open it up and slap that TouchID button... Something that is actually more involved than reaching under the back edge of the new Mini I wager. I would imagine the biggest hassle situation would be cases where the Mac mini is bolted down, like in a security enclosure, that doesn't allow it to be lifted up at all which would make it difficult to hit that button. Or, is it possible to set the Mini to boot up automatically on power restoration? Because if that is the case, one could simply unplug and plug it back in to effectively do the same thing.

I'd like a utility that'll scan for old bits of code left behind by old apps which have long since been deleted, or have left processes which are chugging along the background which are not of any use and eating up resources. 

I've used appcleaner to remove apps for a while but I don't want to do a full rebuild and reinstall everything due to settings, some dev tooling etc.

I've moved recently from Intel MBP to M4 MBP using Migration Assistant but I've brought along a bunch of obsolete cruft

Anyone have any ideas?

I've been migrating from one machine to another as well... As soon as Apple's Back-to-School promo kicks off, I'm grabbing a 15" MacBook Air. This time, I think I'm gonna start "fresh" and re-install everything from the ground up. Kind of like a "reset" for future migrations I suppose. Funny, it reminds of Windows back in the day - Wiping an re-installing Windows 9X and XP quarterly or semiannually haha.

Not the best date they could have picked.

And why is that?

Not sure, but maybe because of the debate that day between Harris and Trump. But the Apple event is in the morning in the US and the debate is in the evening. So it must be because it’s World Suicide Prevention Day. Yea, that’s it.

So what you’re saying is I’ll be glued to my MacBook screen all day on the 10th and both events will likely cause me to laugh, cry and cost me money lol.
