FINALLY AFTER A FEW YEARS, A MAC VIDEO

[zachofalltrades]

do you have a video for Ventura because when I click on system settings I don't have a lot of these options also when I'm doing basic things like copying a file or moving files I always have to enter a password how can I turn that off?

The time zone & system customisation I found had to leave on, else my screen goes bluish no longer goes yellowish on nighttimes or if customise in the display settings for night shift I can disable it

Great video! Question, can you do a video showing how to manage and reduce the Cache in MacBooks? It seems like there are so many items that have their hooks in my MacBook. What are you thoughts about trading in an old MacBook towards a new one?

[SvenskaIdioterna]

for some reason, personalized ads doesn't even have a button at all for me. That entire page has no option to enable or disable. Kind of weird but I think i disabled stuff like that when setting the macbook up so maybe it's just not available. Couldn't find an answer online to it. some mentioned grayed out buttons but mine plain doesn't exist.

What is that over there on menu bar? [ Looks like "CPU" icon ]

Hello, one question:
That SSHD-KEGEN-WRAPPER must to have full disk access?.
Which is the function of this?.

[craftqueen]

Thanks David and David. I appreciate everything you guys share. I have a MacBook Pro. In privacy settings, Should I keep, sshd-keygen-wrapper, checked or unchecked ? It is unchecked in my laptop but it’s there and it looks like maybe it was checked in your example. I could have unchecked it based on something you shared before and sadly I don’t know how to use my MacBook Pro.

Is there a way to reset the advertising identifier now in March 2022?

[robinwelch]

Do you have any info on how to get the Apple Arcade pop up blocking access to the App store? I'm a first time MacBook Pro user (previously Windows & iPad Pro user), trying to set up MacBook Pro, insanely overworked (self-employed, slammed with work) and the Arcade app is just rubbing my nose in lack of any downtime as well as slowing everything down. Ugh. Please help!
