    Anyone still rocking HFS+?

    I am still using an external Western Digital Enclosure with a Thunderbolt 1 connection as an off-site storage device that uses HFS+. It requires an adapter to work with M-series Macs.

    Ipad as the only display for Max

    Hello everyone. I often use my ipad as a second monitor for my Mac. A long time ago, I saw from some blogger how he made a separate keyboard shortcut so that the ipad could connect to the Mac as a display without the main one. That is, I turn on the Mac, press the keyboard shortcut and the ipad...

    Prediction for Next Mac Boom Pro - Rounded Corners? Borderless Displays?

    I just installed the new MacOs26 - and it looks interesting. It will take some time to get used to the new rounder edges. I did notice something.

    Iphone Mirroring on Mac

    Hi, I was really looking forward to the iPhone mirroring function - but this functionality just seems so scrappy - great when it works but most of the time it fails to connect with one or several errors. Is it me, or is there a knack to getting this setup and working reliably. Thanks

    What Windows or Linux features would improve MacOS?

    I'm a mac user because I love MacOS. Even though I think mac hardware is well made and I like the low power quiet operation of the mac mini, I would trade it for PC hardware that could legitimately run MacOS in a heartbeat.
