I have yet to hear an explanation as to why Apple couples the "Share My Location" setting with various contacts with cleaning up your messages. Every time I delete a message (you'd think with all this AI business, it would learn), Apple asks if I wa…

What a mess! Especially because the various cables are not identified - except that some have a lightning bolt, which, according to the article, isn't definitive. Another example of something that started as a simple solution to a problem and was a…

Wow! A five or six-year-old post. Must be slow times. So, since you mentioned apps, why didn't you mention the free Apple ScreenShot.app in the Utilities folder? For those who don't screen capture daily, it's a lot easier to use than memorizing thre…

One (of the many) things T. has taught us is that bad actions have no consequences (except to the people they are acted against).

Using a VPN when traveling out of the USA is pretty much a "must." Don't use Internet cafes. Encryption doesn't help when keystroke capture is installed on computers. BUT - Inform your Bank that you are using a VPN. If they have your address in the…

Any time you make a list, one item will be at the top and one item will be at the bottom. Long ago, before there was dirt, I was in a High School Latin class. My daily test scores put me 3rd from the bottom. Eventually, the two students below me dr…

Seems like all you mentioned was the cosmetics. A wire is a wire. Perhaps you can add a bit about why the electrons like the Thunderbolt 5 wire more than the Thunderbolt 4 wire. What is it - not the external braid or the plastic or molded cover on …

You like it so much you gave it two Pros?

Though I appreciate the info about much older machines and OS's, I'd think that info would be in a side article about older systems. When dealing with versions of OS X, I didn't see any mention of the commercial back products Carbon Copy or SuperDup…

What does being a "Tiktok User" have anything to do with this? It sounds more like the author is (not so) subtly trying to throw shade on TikTok. If the user had eaten oatmeal for breakfast the article title could have read "Oatmeal Eater Got conned…

The problem I have with trackers and similar "Alert" devices, is the frequency of their chirp is outside my hearing range. Chipolo addressed that somewhat by having their devices "play" a note on an ascending scale. It's too bad there isn't a way to…

You suggested an incremental backup "setting" and mentioned a default "fill disk" setting. I couldn't find any setting for that in the options I was presented (M2 Mac, OS 14.4.1). The one time I wanted to use a TimeMachine retrieval was to re-estab…

I wish Parallels was more forthcoming about the need for a Windows License - which would add about $200 - or a total of $300 - to get you up under Windows OS. They do say you'll need a Windows LIcense - but it's twice the price of Parallels itself. …

Chasm, While I agree with the potential of the Apple Watch, the article title said it SAVED him, Your comments, though presenting facts about the watch's features, did not at all address the issue of the problem; i.e., the claim that the watch saved…

So how again did the watch save him? The driver of the vehicle, as well as three nurses, were on the scene to help him. I'm sure they could also call for assistance. Just because someone is wearing an Apple Watch doesn't mean it "saved" him. If Appl…

"... the document, this this anti-disinfectant warning highlighted ..." What I don't understand about this generation is the amazing number of typo/grammar errors I see in their published work. These errors are so easily picked up by using simple, …

With Microsoft leading the AI advance, I no longer fear AI taking over the world. I think of all the programs MS has "acquired" and made worse while driving better-designed programs out of the market.

And remember, $2,000 in the 70's was much more than $2,000 today. But while more cores are nice, I'd prefer more time spent on "smart" utilization of those cores. For example, over the decades there have been many development languages for Mac, Cur…

Ref: one of the first posts - Somehow I am able to understand things without, "having a meeting about it." How do I do that? I would also not implement a policy about something before I understood the issues. Unfortunately, many political gestures (…
