This new generation of eeros explains why my new cable internet provider forced me to accept a bunch of crappy previous gen eeros, in order to get the discount rate. They're dumping the old product on consumers. Now I have to store this obsolete pla…

I remember when an easter egg was discovered in the CDROMs shipped with my brand new PowerMac 8100/80. There was a pic of Paula Abdul in a swimsuit on the disc, Apple management was outraged. Shipments were halted while new CDROMs were mastered and …

I had to laugh at the "controversy" about the Wallet Ad. Gruber said your real wallet is sacrosanct and he never sees advertising in his wallet. He obviously never looked. I examined one credit card in my wallet, it displays four corporate logos adv…

This is the reason the Apple app store exists: to restrain greedy and fraudulent software developers.

I hate these "hypothetically we lost $1B" stories. Nobody ever guaranteed you a revenue stream.

I saw some YouTubers who did comparisons of DIY air filters with box fans, like Corsi-Rosenthal boxes. They always compared them against the BlueAir 211i Max and 311i Max. So I just bought the BlueAir, instead of messing around with DIY versions. …

"..it has a nice read/write speed of around 1000 MB/s for 1GB, going down to around 850 MB/s for 5GB." NICE read/write speeds?!? That speed is terrible. You installed an obsolete, low speed 2230 SSD, one of the slowest, cheapest SSDs on their compa…

Preview ProTip: you can open two documents on screen side by side, open up the thumbnail sidebars, and move pages from one document sidebar to another. Modifier keys apply, e.g Command-drag to move rather than copy. The sidebars are very useful and …

I bought my Magic Trackpad 2 so long ago, sometime around 2016, the rechargable battery is almost dead. I hoped Apple would ship a new USB-C model before mine died completely. That is a pretty darn good lifetime. As always, Apple products have a low…

I read that the "hearing aid mode" can apply an audiogram to your Airpods Pro output, so it can compensate for your hearing loss. I checked the Health.app and hey there is my audiogram from a recent test! I have moderate hearing loss in my left ear,…

I recall reading that Apple Silicon has some special on-chip extensions that are specifically targeted at running the Rosetta 2 code more efficiently. This is the sort of advanced implementation that you can only create when you own the entire hardw…

There is a tech note from SoftRaid warning not to use APFS on HDD RAIDs. In fact, those warnings were upgraded recently during a software update to Carbon Copy Cloner, it now correctly notes that there are problems backing up image files on RAIDs, a…

I bought a Thunderbay 8 and put 8x 10Tb drives in it, for a usable RAID5 of ~70Tb. I could not get backups to work on a RAID5 with hard drives, it really needs APFS which requires SSDs. NAS does not work well either, even advanced disk formats like …

bradmacpro said: Well that rather sucks if I may be so blunt. The Mac Studio with M2 Max is looking to be slower than a M4 based MacBook at this point. Incorrect. The internal memory bandwidth of a Mac Studio M2 is several times that of an…

I thought about this article for a while, then I decided to resurrect my 30" Cinema Display. I remember when it was impossible to get the Dual Link adapter, but now they are plentiful on eBay. I hope it works on my Mac Studio M2 Ultra's Thunderbolt …
