Eye-Gaze Correction for macOS Story/Scenario I have to keep my webcam camera on for zoom/teams meetings. I have issues when i need to stare into the camera or look at faces on the screen. I am way more functional if i look off to the side and speak/think. I am sure this appears weird. I have seen on youtube over the last year that there is software using AI that can make it so your eyes look like they are always looking at the camera. I tried looking online and with LLM tools... 1 0 replies
Can a 2015 MacBook that had Monterey installed on it, project display to iPad Pro? It doesn’t support thunderbolt cable btw. Also my MacBook screen mirroring , isn’t showing iPad as an option despite meeting all the requirements. In my display settings, there is no sidecar or add display button. My MacBook is on the older side, it still uses the old wide magnetic MagSafe charger. I was thinking that I could fix the screen mirroring issue by using wired connection. I was planning to project my MacBook display to iPad using a thunderbolt to usb adapter. Will this work? 3 1 replies

I want to abandon Windows for good because of Recall. Am I exaggerating? I work in IT Support field and I closely watch news that Microsoft Recall in Windows 11 becomes more and more enforced and that it is very difficult or impossible to fully remove.

How to prevent the screen from going black when a certain app is running (macOS Sequoia 15.2) So recently, I downloaded an app from the app store that is a clock that fills the whole screen, but five minutes later, it goes black (because that's the setting I chose on my Mac). I wanted to know if there's a way of preventing the screen from going black when certain apps are running. For example, when that clock app is running, I want it to never go black. This was quite redundant but I think you guys get what I mean, hopefully 😅 Thanks in advance and... 2 0 replies

Why isnt there an app that can change the position of notifications? Ive search several Mac forums and websites but havent found a working solution for changing the position of the notifications from top right to anywhere else on the screen. Currently my mac is connected to a larger screen with few apps open at the same time and I tend to completely miss all notifications that appear in the top right corner. I will happily pay for a tool that just moves the notifications to bottom right or left, but nothing like this exists in the market. 5 1 replies
