Over 60hz with USB-C to DisplayPort Hub? I read online, that I cannot get over 60hz with an USB-C to HDMI Hub (for example this one https://lmp-adapter.com/product/lmp-usb-c-mini-dock/?attribute\_pa\_color=silver) but that I should get a USB-C to DisplayPort adapter.

Stop iMac trying to access dead fusion HDD I have a 2017 iMac and a few months ago the fusion drive started failing (intermittent access issues). No problem, I now have a 2TB SSD in an external thunderbolt enclosure acting as the boot drive. Works great. (I couldn't be bothered stuffing about opening the iMac, far too much effort to work on and re-seal) I split the old fusion drive so the HDD and 120gb SSD are showing as separate drives (both re-formatted and empty), so I can use the SSD part if I need to (probably... 2 3 replies

Something changed (Screenshots in my MacOS) Earlier CMD+Shift+4 {plus manual area selection) autosaved a screenshot to the desktop with a file name like <screenshot xx.xx>. Now the same action does not autosave an image, and instead opens up the file save popup window where I need to inputs the file name and save location. This extra step is a bit annoying. Is there a way to revert to the old way of autosaving to desktop? This is Sequoia 15.1.1 on M2 Macbook Air. 3 2 replies

Automating Night Shift intensity at different times I really like how Night Shift looks tonally on macOS, but I wish I could adjust its intensity throughout the day, similar to how F.lux works.

Is there any way to automate or manually adjust the intensity of Night Shift on macOS in a similar way to F.lux? Any suggestions would be appreciated! 1 0 replies

Thermal Throttling? macOS 15.2 Hey all. I have a MBP M3 (36GB RAM). I use Python via terminal for work...I am a competent programmer, but have very little sys admin skills. There was a task that I use often from code I wrote, and it has recently become MUCH slower, despite no change to code or data utilised. I see that 'kernel\_task' is using > 100% CPU during this process...which I believe indicates thermal throttling. However, the fans don't run at all and the temps are around 60˚C (according to Macs Fan Control...not... 2 2 replies

Fast User Switching Animation Hi, I have an M1pro Macbook running 15.2 and noticed the fast user switching cube animation no longer appears switching between users.
