    How Not to Update the OS

    I have an early 2015 MacBook Air. Not long after getting it (with El Capitan), Sierra came out. I was a little antsy about updating the OS but went ahead and did it. Have had no problems. Now High Sierra is coming out, and I am even more antsy about updating to it. But I have a question in...

    MacOS Photos app - date is wrong for many photos/videos

    I've just tried out the Photos app (updated version in High Sierra) and imported a stack of photos from a USB drive. Most are fine, but about 10% have the wrong date in Photos, but the correct date shows if I check the actual file properties in Finder. In Photos, it gives me impossible years...

    My 2016 MacBook Pro runs *much* hotter with high Sierra, before updating it would be around 50 Celsius when connected to two ultrafine 4k displays, now it is constantly around 80 celsius when I'm doing simple tasks.

    APFS and Fusion Drives

    I have been a bleeding edge tester for a long time until I switched to Mac. I settled down a little, but when I am told "fusion drives don't support apfs" I take that as a challenge. Well..

    Preview App Changed in High Sierra

    I noticed some changes in the app, most of which are towards the positive side. Has anyone found that "right-click" no longer holds the option of highlighting with colors? This creates some inconvenience for me since mine is without touch bar... Can we change it back?
