    Trying to connect a Nikon Coolscan III to a 16" Macbook Pro M1 with SCSI->USB A cable + USB-C hub. I need help.

    Hiya :) So my father have a lot of old dias images and negatives that he wants to scan and get onto his new M1 Pro MacBook Pro 16". He is not the most tech savvy, but buys a machine so he can have it for years. Which I'm sure will be the case with the M1 Pro as this is technically more than he...

    I own a MacBook Pro from 2017 which originally cost $3,000 direct from Apple. In October, the TSA was doing a random search of by bags during travel and stepped on my MacBook.

    Best Thunderbolt 4 USB-C Docking Station Solution?

    I've used a variety of USB-C docking station solutions for my M1 MacBook Pro, and unfortunately, I have been having constant issues with them.

    Hi, I have an external Samsung EVO 970 (nvme) in an external box with a Jmicron USB-C to NVME adapter and is not available at all. Neither via Terminal is visible.

I then tried them at the same volume but with the Apple USB C 3.5mm adapter on my 2018 iPad Pro and...

    Charging power with usb-c?

    Hi, #1 Is it really so, that there's no cable, that you could get 2,4A from Apple's own usb-a charger to iPad Air 4(2020), which has usb-c? #2 No matter what cable you use, it will always cut the current to 1,4A, because Apple's usb-a chargers aren't PD compatible? #3 Is there any PD...

    How do MBP USB-C/TB ports stack to iPhone/iPad chargers?

    I am curious, and I can't seem to find the info - when you plug in your iPhone or iPad in your Mac, it gets charged.
