    I've not heard of cheater clips. I presume they are something to fit into the seatbelt to stop any alarms going off so you can drive without a belt (?). If so... seriously... why on earth would anyone do that? o_O Are they really considered that terrible to use? No comment on the data...

    Seatbelts also won't prevent 100% of injuries and deaths in automotive accidents. But that clearly doesn't mean "they don't work." Do you choose not to use them too, for consistency? For all the anecdotal stories of people with vaccines still being infected (and, yes, that is actually...

    Software is changing

    It reminds me of the switches from 68k processors to PowerPC (e.g. G3) , and then from the G5 to Intel x86. (I found a nice list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Macintosh_models_grouped_by_CPU_type)

    MacUpdate

    When monitoring updates, I also keep an eye on compatibility with different OS versions and 32 bit vs. 64 bit support. Now we also need to look out for updates relating to Apple Silicon. Not wanting to divert the discussion, but I've found the RoaringApps site pretty good for this...

    Opinions wanted on "Automatically keep my Mac up to date"

    Personally, I still like to have a level of control about which updates are installed and when. For small updates, especially when there is a security fix, I go ahead straight away, usually. I figure a security update could be urgent and that poses a greater risk than the possibility of any...

    Well said, Cheryl. :) We know a lot more about SARS-CoV-2 and its effects than we used to in early 2020, but we still have plenty to learn. Some people recover quickly, while others have a really terrible time. With the Omicron variant, it really is too early to tell how severe it will be...

    I would strongly agree with what Cheryl wrote. While vitamin D is important for the immune system and a lack of it can cause problems, there have been studies during the pandemic which show dosing up on vitamin D does not help. So, unfortunately, it does not look like vitamin D is the issue in...
