    What to keep/What to sell? M4 Air (16/512) or M1 Max MBP (64/2TB)?

    macOS Tahoe Brings a Pleasant Design Refresh with Liquid Glass, and Great New Features

    macOS Tahoe brings many benefits in my opinion. The unified Liquid Glass design language between Apple’s platforms make picking up projects on the Mac far more pleasant. And it feels like it fits much better within Apple’s ecosystem of devices. It feels congruent and consistent with Apple’s...
