Him in 2019: I never use zoom
2020 and 2021: ... And I took that personally

[jplflyer]

Been a power Mac user for 20 years and didn't know about several of those. Thank you.

Outstanding video. Retired old guy here struggling to keep up with life! Thanks guys.

I ran across this video trying to find out why my MacBook Pro was so slow. I followed the instructions and to my amazement it worked really well. You guys know what you are talking about. A+

Just purchased my first MacBook Air. I enjoyed these tips but disabling time zones disabled the ability to schedule Night Shift from sunset to sunrise.

Finally the most informative video of the computer era

Your posts are amazingly helpful. My only wish (probably not shared by others) is that you went a bit more slowly so I didn't have to pause and back up to be sure I've got it all. Thanks!

him: deletes zoom
me in 2020, not deleting zoom: *my goals are beyond your understanding*

Thank you so much 😊. I was unsure about how to get out of my frozen screen. 🥰 thanks again!!!!

[irinapetrova]

Thank you! Excellent quick tutorial on how to get rid of unnecessary background functions and annoying pop ups on the Mac computer! Keep up great work guys!! I highly recommend you keep on posting similar videos!

[stitchlab]

Thankyou so much, you are very clear to follow for a non techy like me.

[rogerthompson]

I really enjoy your very business-like, no nonsense videos. You do have a lot of echo on the sound. IMHO it would improve your videos immensely to reduce or eliminate that echo.

Fabulous series... so helpful!! Please do a segment on how to manage iCloud and other storage issues!! Great

[bonitaderosa]

nice to meet you! I'm subscribed. This is a great youtube channel for me, so thanks and good luck! See you next time

[Whycee]

Thank you so much. My Systems Preferences had frozen and what you said let me fix it.

Invaluable information. Thank you. New subscriber.

2019: I don't use Zoom any more. ;)
But seriously, it's good that you did grow your channel. 466k subscribers as of this writing.
Just one bit of advice, which you may have already taken in, is to mention the like-subscribe thing AFTER the content. Otherwise it can sound too much like "leave your money on the dresser".
BTW, I did go through all the steps while watching. So thanks.

[andrewsmith]

I bet he's back to using Zoom now.

[fomoc]

Thank you so much for sharing this good information 🙏🏻👍🏻
