It’s very clear that Apple were going for peak brightness above all else. Nobody else has even tried to make a bright 6k display – in fact, every non-Apple 6k display is outright dim by modern display standards – they’re barely brighter than the original 5k display in the 2015 iMac!

So if you have spotty cellular service – because perhaps you live in the United States, where that’s the only kind of cellular service on offer – you might find that happens so often that you can’t complete… Read more
This is basically a short written set of instructions derived from Cody Wanner‘s YouTube video on the topic, refined a little for simplicity and updated for the newer GUI in more recent versions of Final Cut Pro. So feel free to view that video if you prefer that medium. I just find I need to… Read more
First, make sure you really want to. macOS’s screen saver system is absurdly buggy and broken. It’s frustrating to work with and very difficult to make work right. If you’re determined, read on.
