    Vision Pro

    I think that the Vision Pro is a game changer in so many ways. I have never purchased a VR headset and only used one for about 3 minutes inside MicroCenter once probably 5 years ago. The concept is cool, but the Meta verse and the VR games is really just not who I am. What Apple has done here is...

    It's really been a while.

    BeOS... kinda forgot about that. ;) I found a NoWonder! poster the other day. Brought back memories!

    Get the Shots

    I'm pretty sure I just had Omicron. It matches the symptoms exactly. Extreme fatigue, and lasted about 2.5 days, after 3 days, the only thing that remains is some sinus crud.

    10 Must Have - Mac Applications

    10 Mac Applications that I find extremely useful. Some I use all the time, some occasionally, but they make life easier. Bartender You can have a ton of menu bar drop downs from apps that clutter the menu bar. Bartender allows you to choose which ones you always want displayed, while the...

    Anyone Buying M1 MacBook Pro, Air, or Mini?

    So - I live in an odd place on the UPS route. They will literally drive by my house at like 2pm in the afternoon, and then return about 5-6pm, even though they go to houses all around me, but just not mine. It's really annoying. Probably because I live on a busy street and I'm on the "left side"...

    Anyone Buying M1 MacBook Pro, Air, or Mini?

    If the 13" was my main Mac, I'd have to wait until the 15" for sure. But this will just be something mobile to fill in the gabs when I can't be sitting at the iMac.

    Anyone Buying M1 MacBook Pro, Air, or Mini?

    Since our local Apple Store is closed because of COVID, I decided to pick up (2) MacBook Air's and (1) MacBook Pro, all with the M1 chip and is on the truck to be delivered today. My wife got an iPad Pro last Christmas, and about 6 months ago she admitted she should have got a MacBook instead of...

    Mackeeper Ad

    It is hard. I can block them, and have in the past. But then they show up through new URLs and whatever. Then at some point, I was learning out stuff and removed them from the block list. Basically, what DeltaMac said, is a good summary of the situation. It's legit software that must make bank...

    Best Mail.app Alternative?

    I can't deal with the sorting inability of Mail.app anymore. It doesn't even sort correctly after you do a search. You have to go in and choose oldest to newest and then back again to get it to sort correctly, at least in Smart Folders. The inability to just click on the columns to sort what you...

    Safari 11.1.2 "Please verify you are a human" help

    Do you have this issue with other sites when you use the verification? If you disable "Prevent cross-site tracking" under Privacy, you won't have to verify you are a human every single time it comes up, plus you will give relevant ads on websites you visit, vs just random stuff. I'm all about...

    Catalina: Anyone have cold feet on this?

    Well, it seems like all is fine. The only issue with my Logitech MX Master 2, which has been acting weird anyhow, but the curser won't move with it, the buttons works fine, but not moving the cursor. Reinstalled the software, turned on all the new usage allowed things for it and nothing. My old...

    Catalina: Anyone have cold feet on this?

    5 hours after I hit install, it came back to life with the Catalina login screen. I was using what I thought was the latest install since I just downloaded it this afternoon. When I looked at the screen it never got past 10% on progress bar, but was surprised to see the login screen. Now for the...

    Catalina: Anyone have cold feet on this?

    Well, no luck. Still at the same place, even with the original Apple memory. Guess I’ll just let it remain 3 hours and if it’s not done by then, I’ll boot recovery mode and restore from time machine. Fun.

    Catalina: Anyone have cold feet on this?

    I’m losing confidence. Come back 20 mins later, no estimated time remaining, progress bar still hasn’t budged. I hit the power button, it’s like... hold your horses... and says, 9 mins left. Now it says 18 minutes remaining. Hmmmm... I know the estimation time is never a valid indicator but...

    Catalina: Anyone have cold feet on this?

    Now 15 mins later, no changes on the screen and no signs of life I hit the power button and oddly didn’t just hold it down to force it off. It responded with I have to wait for the update to finish and then showed 9 mins left. After 30 seconds the estimated time disappeared and progress bar...

    Catalina: Anyone have cold feet on this?

    I remember reading where someone had issue with Crucial Memory as being an issue. I’ve had nothing but trouble with Crucial memory on this Mac. So I finally replaced it and haven’t had any issues since. But I guess if rebooting doesn’t fix the issue, I’ll try removing the RAM.
