  • Macworld Boy, it seems like it was just a month ago that we were making fun of the competition’s prices, doesn’t it? The MacBook Neo came out at the low, low price of just five dollars and ninety-nine cents (okay, it was actually $599, but it seemed crazy cheap), causing a seismic wave in the […]
  • Macworld While people are at the greatest risk from high temperatures during the summer season, your Mac can also be at risk. (People can be water-cooled, and no current Mac offers that option, though some have tried.) An iPhone or iPad will warn you when it detects it’s too hot before shutting down, while a Mac may simply […]
  • Macworld TL;DR: iScanner is an iOS app that scans, edits, and organizes any document, and a lifetime subscription is only $25 for Deal Days. Most phone scanning apps either upload your files to a cloud service or charge a monthly fee for basic features. iScanner skips both, running locally on iOS or Android and turning your phone into a […]

My past as a systems admin had me deploy and managed thousands of computers running Windows NT through 10, Mac System 7 through macOS 16 (Ventura), and various Linux-based systems running CentOS, RedHat, and Ubuntu in higher education (Coast Community College District, UCLA), SAAS (Intuit), Entertainment (BBC), and retail (Harbor Frieght Tools) environments.
