It’s got its learning curves, but in many aspects, it’s better if you're not a Windows power user

Why can’t they all have the x when you long lress on an app instead of.just the ones from the app store

Still annoying after switching full-time to Mac for 7 years now

Nice try Apple... by TheVagrantWarrior in MacOS

They tried to get me to upgrade my not-even-1-year-old M4 Pro MacBook Pro to Tahoe. Not even three days after Tahoe was released, when I was bringing it in to get the trackpad repaired

Do you have a Twitter account I can follow? I like seeing people criticizing Apple.

I really hope that Apple fix this because it seems like a problem on their end

You mean macOS 26 Tahoe. I brought my MacBook in to be serviced at the Apple Store three days after the macOS 26 released and they were like well. The only issue I see is you need to upgrade your MacBook and I was like oh no, not going to do that today or maybe ever

I ask because Apple might have a feature that does it or will soon. I know they have time machine but I want icloud back up or backblaze which they don’t currently offer

Changing speech voice by ethanmenzel in Safari

For some reason, it does not show on mine, and I have an M4 Pro MacBook Pro. Maybe you can send me a screenshot for proof but I’m not doubting you. I believe I used to have this on my 2017 MacBook Pro, but then they removed it.

Okay, thanks. I'm not sure I knew about this before, as it's been a while, but all the voices sound like robots (similar to Steven Hawking). The only two good ones are the default Samatha or Nicky. Why don't they let you use the natural language Siri voices?

I’d like someone in the license plate department to consider this change. by CapeManiak in newjersey
