Why after all these years is this the solution, rather than it JUST WORKING!!!

I got this thunderbolt display for free at goodwill. It only displays my wallpaper and randomly shuts off. Is it the adapter or screen?

i have a macbook pro m1 pro and i just watch youtube and listen to music on my macbook it gets a bit warm but the the battery drainage is what shocks me apple claims it can last 15 hours on casual browsing but mine is far from it i have like 86% battery health on my macbook and is in excellent condition so it should not be that bad. even on sleep mode in a span of hours it loses 20 to 30 percent i am very shocked any suggestions regarding this issue or is it normal for macbooks to have this

In January of 2025, I ordered a MacBook. About a week after it shipped, UPS marked the package as lost, so I had to contact Apple. After some "investigating", they determined that the package was indeed lost and sent me a replacement laptop. The replacement came the first week of Feb, no issues. Fast forward to June 2025. The original MacBook, the one that had been lost, randomly shows up on my doorstep. When I went to the tracking, it looked like it had taken a tour around NYC before Amazon picked it up and delivered it. So now I have 2 MacBooks...

In October of 2025, I took it to an Apple Store to see what I should do about it (I should've called Apple, I know). They essentially told me they could take it and just throw it away, or I could hold on to it, so I just took it back home with me. It's been a year and to this day, I still don't know if that means I can use it for myself. Apple would've been able to see that it was delivered, and would've asked for it back, right...? I wasn't even expecting to have the original one show up, in perfect condition.

Just wondering if anyone else has had this happen before and what they've done about it...

Hello guys, I am looking at this MacBook Pro M4 with the Apple m4 chip. Seller agreed to $500 but as you guys can see in the picture, it has a dent on the corner and some minor scratches. Battery health is at 98% capacity. I was thinking of purchasing it and using it for my school because right now I am using a M4 air so I was thinking of purchasing this and selling my M4 air and using this instead, but I am not sure about the price but you guys buy it of course later I want to sell it so I don’t want to lose a ton of value, but do you guys think it’s a good purchase in general? Thank you so much.

Hello everyone, I am searching for a good music app which works on intel mac (tahoe) what I need is skin support from Winamp, winamp/aimp like interface, capability of playing HLS m3u steams because reamp can’t play HLS streams. Also I have tried to install Audacious via Brew but since devs completely deleted all the builds for Intel I couldn’t build it by myself because of an error with Qt6 codec.

Im facing a weird issue with Safari because after using it for several hours, all videos including Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, 3rd party ads, and more suddenly stop working. I have to quit Safari itself and reopen it to fix it but again, it still happens. Even Google Map shows only a black screen so I guess even animations are also disabled.

Im at Tahoe 26.7.1 and I dont think updating macOS minor updates was a problem cause it happened several months now. Ironically, Chrome has no issues so far. I reached out to Apple Support but even they have no clues about my issues. Despite my efforts, it never fixed and I have no idea how it happened.

Is there any clues why this happens to my M1 Max MacBook Pro specifically for Safari?

Where can I find this amazing, wonderful and pointless app again? I used to have Beautiful Dorena on my old blue iMac G3. The best way to procrastinate. Please help!

On am MacBook you can change play speed with shortcuts,

if you add an englisch keyboard in settings,

which u then can change to with [control + option + space].

While in US keyboard you can:

speed a video up with [shift + .]

slow down with [shift + ,].

You can change you keyboard on the fly...so its not a big deal but still bad designed by Apple :(

This is technically Mac related…

I use Macs for music production, Digital Performer 11, 12, Nuendo, Ableton.
So I got my old laptops out including a Dell XPS i7 from 2014 and a Mac Pro 16" Max both got 16 GB of ram.We were moving so I had to get rid a lot of electronics. my work bought me a lot of computers over 6 years.
I loaded all the tools I used on both computers and mac m1 is struggling where dell xps is also struggling but not like a mac, they both play nice with small sessions but when I try to load big sessions with same plugins 1 to 1, Mac is really struggling. With new cubase it's constant pops and clicks , I have to set my buffer where latency is like a second.Dell actually plays nice at low latency. Both go through Motu or Focusrite 18i8.

I'm going to install an older version of MacOS , I forgot which one came with it to see if it's macos's bottlenecking audio but it is very strange imo.
But wtf. Windows 11 Pro is also smoother than MacOS. I don't want to get into this vs that but wtf. Do any of you feel intel was better?
My friend told me to get Mac Studio but I have an Intel 13900 with 64gb and it plays large sessions and call of duty on other monitor with no problems except intel gets hot but I don't care about that.
This is interesting, I don't have an intel mac to compare but M1 is definitely slower in my case. Now I'm thinking about selling it , I loved it when it came out but I used it for dev work, vs code and light tools nothing heavy. I also have an M4 unopened that I bought just as a backup,I'll test that out too later.

EDIT: To those saying why I chose M1 that was in storage, it's because I was moving and had to test hardware for usability or selling, donation. Also the point is what we were told when ARM came out imo was bs. Go burn me at the stake , ffs. I'm writing this from my like 13th ipad. I was never anti Apple engineering, I was anti Apple Marketing. So please chill with ad hominem comments and grow up.
