By the way, there's no concept of "Full backup" with Time Machine. The first backup is full, all the rest are differential. Time Machine is writing to a "synthetic snapshot" of the source data on your backup disk. When you take a new backup, a writ…

I'm working in audio so have large drives to back up and external data drives. Time Machine shows internal drives and partitions but my data is on the external drives. Will Time Machine backup those too, but that would mean I need like a crazy ex…

I knew that the fictional Lumon Terminal Pro looked familiar. It’s a rip-off of the mid-1970s Data General Dasher D2/D3 CRT: https://terminals-wiki.org/wiki/index.php/Data_General_6053

Thought I'd add a bit to the sicussion based on experience. If you value your sanity and time, don't symlink parts of the top level of your home folder to an external drive. You won't know when a macOS update will come along and get confused about…

nubus said: Apple is "we sold you an iPhone so you can only buy apps from us and we have placed a 43% tax on developers". Nice use of how to use numbers to fit a narrative. Take the markup and use that as a percentage of the developer's proce…

When running OCLP, installing any macOS updates (including security updates) without OCLP confirming that it supports them risks breaking your Mac. Thats why the tecommendation to turn off automatic updates, which is a terrible security practice. T…

I push the BS button on this one. Thunderbolt chips are expensive. Thunderbolt is over-kill. Take a look at the cost of external USB-C drives vs Thunderbolt drives if you want an idea. If you want to drive up the cost of iPhones excessively, then …
