It seems like the first set of ARM macs will be MacBooks. With Apple saying the transition period will take around 2-3 years, when can we expect an ARM Mac Mini? They seem to have neglected it and it is due for an update having only 8th gen CPU atm. Only other current mac with 8th gen CPU is...

I have a desire (need?) for a utility app for my Mac. I’d like an ability to click on an icon (or perhaps a menu bar icon) and have my desktop be different for the various tasks I do. I’m writing a book? I click on ‘author’ and up comes Pages (or Word) and Safari for research. I’m playing...

Hi, Since the last MacOS update the desktop has started doing a strange thing when my MBP wakes from sleep. On the external monitor the desktop is shifted downward from below the menu bar, it happens only after the MBP has been sleeping. I can’t even bring up the dock as it shifts it out of...
