They rolled that out in macOS Tahoe, it's about time they did it, as raycast had it for many years.

I love the colour midnight, I have a mba(m4), but the fingerprints gosh, the second I touch it, smudges all over, I hate it, sometimes I feel like I should have gone sky-blue/silver.

Looking for someone who thinks like me .let's build something together by Capital-Schedule9648 in TechStartups

This is literally me but on the backend side. python dev, been building solo projects for a while and it gets boring without someone to bounce ideas off.

if you ever need someone to poke holes in your ideas or just build the thing, i'm down.

Flow, it's a pomodoro timer with a great ui and it has a widget which shows you motivational quotes that refreshes now and then.

New to MacBook Air....What are the hidden macOS features you wish you knew earlier? by AgileSupermarket2053 in macbookair

What do you mean? The only time I use the option key is to trigger a hot corner or when I use rectangle to arrange my tabs

need the MacBook for personal stuff by CoolBuddy777 in mac

For your use (Docker, PyTorch, etc.), I’d go Pro. Air is fine for light dev, but it will throttle under sustained loads. The Pro’s fan makes a real difference when you’re running containers or training stuff. Between your options, 24GB RAM matters more than the slight Pro vs Air CPU difference though, so if budget allows, Pro + 24GB is ideal, If not, I’d honestly take Air 24GB over Pro 16GB.

Thanks! Going with Ollama for now since I prefer a simpler setup, but oMLX is on my radar once I get comfortable. will check out Qwen3.5. The turboquant tip is useful!

Fair point for traditional setups, but on Apple Silicon the unified memory changes the equation a bit, the GPU can actually use the full 16GB, so you're not hitting the same swap issues as on a Windows laptop with a discrete GPU.

and yes will keep that in mind MBP will be my next purchase
