    I am using a 2023 16-inch M2 Max MacBook Pro. I keep my Mac plugged in with the lid open on my desk. When it's asleep, I used to be able to simply rest my finger on the Touch ID sensor and without even pressing down on the key, it would wake up and unlock my Mac. Since upgrading to Ventura...

    Other Do home buttons still stop working/break?

    Not sure if you guys experienced this, but before Touch ID days, especially with iPhone 4 and iPod Touch 4th gen, I would often hear about people's touch button stop functioning and/or pressing. This seemed to be a common issue at that time. I personally had it on my (iPod 4, iPhone 4, and...
