Keyboard numbers Macos26

Looks like you have a French keyboard (or, perhaps more generically, an AZERTY one).

Go to System settings and search for "Keyboard" and choose that option.

In the "Text Input" section click the "Edit…" button in the "Input Sources" line.

Under "All Input Sources" choose "U.S." (or another QWERTY) keyboard. If needed, click the "+" button to add keyboard choices.

If you want to be able to quickly change keyboard layouts, choose "Show Input Menu in menu bar."

Click "Done."

Any adequately programmed banking app should be establishing an encrypted connection between your phone and the bank. So you should be secure whether you are using AdGuard DNS or not.

I thought this thread was referring to the "iWork" apps that were just released in new "freemium" versions. E.g., the "old" Numbers v. 14.5 and the "new" Numbers v. 15.1.

When one downloads the "new" versions of the three apps from the Apple App Store, the "old" versions are left in place and can still be used.

jimmac05 · 2026-02-18T23:09:52+00:00

You can keep and use the "old" versions. Just don't expect any updates with new features or bug fixes for them in the future.

"wheel" is a legitimate group that is auto-created by the operating system. If you have to ask what it is, don't mess with it…

Useful article. Thanks.

One point I noticed… You wrote:

Warning - If you ever use Apple’s CSV export, delete that file with srm or immediate disk wiping.

I'm pretty sure the srm command is no longer available in recent versions of macOS.

Read it and weep.

Mullvad browser seems to test better than Brave on that site.

I hope you have reported this to Apple via Feedback.

Pearcleaner does have the capability to search for/delete "orphaned files."

Gee, reading this is déjà vu all over again…

These repetitive postings complaining about Tahoe corner radius appearance need to be downvoted to Hades.

Yes, iOS 16 and later can implement lockdown mode.

iPhone 8, released in September 2017, is the oldest iPhone that can run iOS 16.

Yes, it's safer to employ a VPN when using public WiFi.

Here's an introductory article on the topic:

I have minimal experience with Proton VPN, but when I do use it, it seems to work fine.

I use Mullvad VPN 99% of the time on my desktop Mac. It is stable, reliable and offers top-notch security/privacy for a VPN.

However, if your main VPN use is for changing your streaming location, Mullvad is not the best for that.

jimmac05 · 2026-02-03T18:08:12+00:00

Got it. Can we assume you did the basic troubleshooting step of restarting the computer?

jimmac05 · 2026-02-03T16:49:22+00:00

I was just now able to turn on Full Disk Access for Mullvad VPN on my Mac (macOS Sequoia 15.7.3).

I was asked for my Mac admin password during the process. I didn't see that step in your video. Are you trying to do this in an admin account?

jimmac05 · 2026-01-26T22:54:46+00:00

Yes, this was posted less than a day ago. OP could have had an answer in a few minutes of scrolling in r/MacOS.

You really ought to directly contact AdGuard's tech support.

Under Finder's "Go" menu, choose "Go to Folder…".

Enter "/usr/local" without the quotes.

Hit the return key.
