I’m embarking on a journey I’ve so far been hesitant to go on: actually using AI on the regular. Giving my most personal data to cloud services has been a major hold up for me, but it’s increasingly possible to run powerful models locally to see what they’re capable of. Is this tech so useful […]
Apple is set to introduce a new MacBook Pro with a touchscreen and an updated iPad Mini “on or around” October 27th, Bloomberg reports. If true, that would put the event just two weeks after the October 13th event Apple announced today, which is rumored to focus on smart home products. Bloomberg says that the […]
Getting some extra storage space on your Mac could be as easy as deleting Apple’s AI features with a new open-source command line tool called RemoveMacAI. There used to be a single Settings toggle for disabling Apple Intelligence, but that was removed in macOS 27. Now, the models stay on your disk, and the features […]

Afraid that macOS 27 is buggy? Early feedback is making upgraders nervous — but I wouldn’t worry too much unless you’re a power-user.
There are lots of compact desktop computers out there, but none match the Mac Mini’s small size and big power. 2024’s redesign reduced the Mini to 0.82L, a chassis so minimal you can easily mount it behind a monitor or under a desk. I’ve used gaming laptop charging bricks that are nearly as large and […]
Apple released macOS 27 Golden Gate on Monday, which brings the new Siri AI assistant, Liquid Glass improvements, improved performance, and more. The update is compatible with all Macs with Apple Silicon, but not Intel Macs – Apple released its final big update for Intel-based Macs last year with macOS Tahoe. Siri AI is arguably […]
Apple quietly announces macOS 27 launch date of September 14 – these are all the Macs that will be able to get the free upgrade…
