memory

I wanted to play around with disabling memory compression as I imagine this adds some CPU overhead. I'd like to leave swap enabled. I upgraded the SSD so swap to SSD should be pretty fast. You used to be able to disable memory compression from recovery with: nvram boot-args=vm_compressor=1 The...

Hi everyone, I've decided to give a new M3 MacBook Air a shot as my general work computer (mostly the usual browsing/email/chat/Office apps stuff plus a lot of small to medium sized projects in Xcode, Visual Studio Code, Photoshop, Illustrator, and occasionally Final Cut Pro) but am struggling...

I was looking at the system requirements for Topaz AI because I haven't upgraded to the newer versions and was curious if they have a build now for Apple Silicon as I have a 14" M3 Max 16/40 64GB on order. I'm looking to upgrade some of my professional tools to avoid the performance impact of...

Apple charges $180 for a 8MB upgrade when you purchase a Mac Mini. A quick search on Google shopping shows you can get an 8GB ram stick for around $20. HP sells an 8MB upgrade for $70. Why on earth would Apple ever do this? Is it just pure greed? Why not just charge $40 (double the price) and...

Hello everyone, I’ve been looking at a 12.9-inch iPad Pro, the 3rd generation model, from 2018. How is the performance on these iPads as of today? The Apple A12X in these is a very capable processor, but they have 4GB of memory. This amount definitely seems low in theory, although the 4th...

Currently my iMac Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017 has 4 x 8GB DDR4 (2400MHZ) OEM RAM installed. I wanted to max out the RAM to the full 64GB allowed for my model, so I purchased 4 x 16GB DDR4 RAM (2400MHz) to replace the OEM RAM from the following link on Amazon...

Hello, I’m interested to learn more about the virtual memory swap feature. This sounds like what I have been wanting to see added to iPadOS for a long while. Does this mean memory will swap to storage when necessary and will prevent apps refreshing and Safari tabs reloading due to memory...

The App Switcher on an iPhone always starts out empty after completing setup, then it starts getting filled up as soon as you launch an app for the first time. But because of https://www.macrumors.com/2016/03/10/force-quitting-apps-doesnt-help-battery/, swiping apps out of the App Switcher makes...
