WARNING - Sequoia update may lose Keychain Secure Notes **Warning** A week or so ago, I updated from Sonoma to Sequoia, which introduces a new Passwords app and stops Keychain Access having new Secure Notes added. For various reasons, I'm a big user of Keychain Acces Secure Notes After updating, I had a feeling that some Secure Notes were missing and others were old versions. Then I noticed that a Secure Note I know I had used a few weeks before updating was no longer present. Dug around in various backups and snapshots and found a login keychain... 1 0 replies

Thunderbolt bridge between iMac Pro and M1 Mac Studio I have been experimenting with files transfers via thunderbolt bridge between my iMac Pro and M1 Mac Studio. When I ping them using iperf3, I see a bitrate of around 20 GBits/sec. I’ve got them connected via SMB. When I copy a file from the iMac Pro, the activity monitor says it’s sending data at 4 GB/s. However, my Mac Studio is only receiving data at 1 GB/s. Sending from Mac Studio right now at 2.5 GB/s , and iMac Pro receives at 1.75 GB/s. I’ve tried rsync and... 1 0 replies
Don't trust Photos.app to fully hide your content When you hide an image or video on Photos.app, it gets moved to the *Hidden* folder. Then no one will be able to see it without a password. Right? Wrong. Turns out, you can go to *Pictures*, right click on the photos library, select *Show Package Contents*, and open *Originals*. Scattered in the folder hierarchy, you'll find your nudes and other spicy content among regular pictures. No password required. I'm not sure if this is common knowledge, but it was new for me. So this is just a PSA... 1 1 replies
Is it possible to enable extended preloading in Safari, similar to what’s available in Chrome?

And in case there are, does preloading work with Private Relay enabled, or does it need to be turned off for preloading to function properly? 1 0 replies
