    I have to reluctantly conclude: macOS Monterey is a horrible product, quality-wise

    I have been a macOS user since the first appearance of MacOS X. After the initial start, macOS became a platform that I loved not just for the experience, but for its stability and performance.

    Macbook Pro 2017 15" - Can the reliability get any worse than this?

    Hey guys, I usually see lots of people opening threads and complaining. My first reaction is mostly: 'It cannot be so bad' and it usually annoys me. However as time went by I had my fair share of issues with the Macbook pro's myself. Including a new problem this week.. In no specific order: -...
