Apple

I remember in 2007, buying my first MacBook. It came with an enormous 2gb of RAM. I asked about upgrading it. The guy leaned in conspiratorially and told me that Apple's RAM upgrades were a rip-off, and that I'd be better of buying it elsewhere. So I did, for half of what Apple were asking.

This is a grift that Apple have had for far too long, and there's a part of me that's convinced that their move to soldered RAM was to stop people upgrading after the fact more than it was about SOC efficiencies.

Anyway I can make photos, control center, and playing videos in full screen normal again?

• 🤔 Apple has shared why the power button on the Mac Mini M4 is hidden
• 🤏 It’s mainly because of the Mac Mini’s compact size
• 🤷‍♂️ But also because users apparently never use the power button on a Mac
• 👉 Apple also says the button can be accessed easily, even though it’s underneath

Are there any other apps that have animated or changing icons? I only know the Apple ones , calendar and clock.

• 🍎 Apple is said to be making its own smart home camera, says a top source
• 🆚 It could rival Google Nest, Amazon Ring, and Anker Eufy
• 🧠 Expect it to be part of Apple’s broader Apple Intelligence plans
• 📆 Sadly, it won’t launch until 2026, after the iPad-like robot arm project

Occasionally, I will get these vertical lines going down my screen and some flicker. I’ve had this problem with a thunderbolt to DisplayPort cable and an HDMI to HDMI cable. I also highly doubt it’s a monitor problem because it’s been working flawlessly in Linux and before that Windows.

Has anyone else experienced this? I also saw that Sequoia 15.1 released, not sure if this is a problem that Apple knows about that’s fixed in the new version. Really hoping it’s not a hardware issue with my unit.

Edit: it seems to be a monitor issue? I switched my second, identical display to be my first and didn't see the issue after a couple hours of usage. But now I've started using that first monitor again as my second monitor and it hasn't had any corruption issues yet.
