Something like notepad++ but for mac I'm a fairly new MacOS user and I'm constantly trying to use Mac more in my everyday life. But now I hit a roadblock. Notepad++ is not yet available for MacOS.

Keyboard and mouse battery-% often at 0%. I bought a macmini M2 a few months ago. I noticed that quite often the battery-% of the keyboard and/or the mouse is at 0%. Even after changing the batteries. A few hours later it does give the right %. Sometimes it’s the keyboard, other times the mouse, sometimes both. OS is updated, that didn’t help either. I use an Apple keyboard and mouse from 2017, they worked fine with the iMac I had until I got the mini. Anyone knows what’s going on? 5 0 replies

What is your workflow on MacOS? Hey! I've been a Linux user for years. Recently, I got my first MBP and I love it. My workflow uses multiple desktops, each with a different fullscreen window, and I toggle between desktops using left and right swipes on the trackpad.

Intel Mac running Monterey still usable in 2026? Hello, I’ll have an MBP M3 at home after switching from Windows, but I need a cheap Intel MBA for urgent tasks while traveling—editing docs, signing files, etc.—without worrying about damage or security. My key question: Roughly how many years can I use it (e.g., with Monterey OS) while keeping Google Chrome and LibreOffice functional? I’m not concerned about battery life. For example, would a MacBook Air A1466 (i5-5250U, 8GB DDR3, 256GB SSD) still be viable? 1 2 replies
MacBook Pro (2019 i7) mit i-Tec Thunderbolt 3 Hey, ich habe mir vor ein paar Tagen einen neuen Monitor gekauft und zwar den Samsung G5 C34G55TWWP.

Ich wusste schon, dass ich eine Docking Station brauche, da die vollen Hz nur über Displayport möglich sind. Gesagt, getan. DS wurde bestellt und kam gestern an. Alles mit einem Displayportkabel angesteckt und nun wollte ich auf 165 Hz erhöhen. Als ich die Umstellung vorgenommen habe, bleibt leider mein Monitor schwarz. Auflösung: 3440x1440 Wiederholrate 100... 5 0 replies
