    Encrypted APFS volume suddenly not writable anymore

    Hi folks. I have an encrypted APFS volume in the same container as my startup disk and it's worked fine for months, but yesterday when I mounted it (via Disk Utility; I've disabled automount for it), it was mounted read-only. Reading works fine, I just can't write to it. I've tried mounting it...

    So, Who is going to make the first mount for Mac Mini/Studio for Studio Display to make it look like an iMac?

    Actually I was expecting to see such a mount already but seems like nobody came up with a product yet. Even from 3D geeks. Would you use that kind of mount to hang your Mac Mini/Studio at the back of the Studio Display? Mac Studio might be harder to do due its uneven weight distribution and...

    Made a cool AirPods holder for my bike!

    For some reason I hate the feeling of having the AirPods case in my pocket, but I ride with them enough that they sometimes need a quick recharge. Today I whipped up this case and thought I would share! It even has a little silicone insert so that the case fits tightly and can't bounce out.
