Just thought I'd put this one out there.
I recently bought an Apple 12w USB charger and cable from Ebay. It's the older USB-A model but I like the fact the USB port sticks straight out from the wall, rather than pointing downwards. And I'm generally not in a rush to charge anything.
The price...
The new Apple Pencil is the Pencil (USB-C) model and due to appear in a couple of weeks or so for a lower price of £/$79.
Anyone using a previous model?
I bought a 1st Gen for my old iPad and didn't like the overlong size and heavy weight. Using it on a surface that is basically hard and...

Want a new Magic Mouse? Airpods? iPads even!

I guess a lot of people already know this and I'm just late to the party, but after my regular, favourite, Internet Radio app stopped working I was looking for a replacement. There are commercial offerings and paid-for options on the App Store, but being charged to listen to free Internet Radio...
I've just had to reset and reinstall macOS on my M2 Mac Mini.
Apple have changed the process massively. Previously you had to sign out of everything very carefully then re-install from the Installer in pretty much the same way we do with a Hackintosh (with added "activation" because of the T2...
From the 26th July 2023 My Photo Stream will be no more. There seems to be no explanation of why this part of iCloud should go. Personally I always enabled it on every device install. Perhaps it is to encourage more users to consume more iCloud storage rather than keep locally? Ironic then that...
Anyone notice the subtle change to Magic Mouse 2 ?
There is no-longer a pairing LED next to the on/off switch (which now seems sturdier).
Small difference I'll grant you - and we'd all prefer a better charging option - but it shows these things do get looked at.

This has been an offer available on macworld.com (and StackSocial) for many months now. Sometimes higher priced. Seems to be still going strong. Must be selling lots.

I've used these graphics cards for a while now. Discovered them during Covid Lockdown when GPU prices are still sky-high.
Things haven't improved much in all markets so finding a Brand New Dell RX 560 at a reasonable price, was like gold-dust. The card is faster than you might expect when...
There aren't as many hidden easter-eggs in macOS as there used to be. Most of the subtle icon ones have been removed in the race to make everything flat and boring recently. However a few interesting things still remain. If you know of any more please add them below.
Terminal app.
There are...
This app is a very useful for those wishing to get a more "visual" overview of their OpenCore config.plst settings and is an easy way to edit them.
However it has a long history of "bugs" that give many cause to distrust it, but a lot of people still use it even so.
This thread is not a...
I guess I'm late to the party as usual, but did you know Will Shipley, he of Delicious-Monster software, went to work for Apple last year? I remember his UI design partner did the same a long time previously, leaving him pretty much to his own devices.
This probably explains the lack of updates...
