Apple silicon Macs were designed to boot almost as securely from external disks as from their internal SSD. That makes macOS installation a little more complicated. Here’s how to do that.

It throws away the encryption key for the Data volume, effectively wiping all its data. It doesn’t alter the System volume, SSV, or the macOS installed.
Given what we know about the base M5, is it really a significant improvement on the base M4. What features should we be looking at?
How operating frequencies of CPU cores used by the latest base M5 chip compare with those from previous families in the M series, and what that means. Complete with updated tables for all current chips.
A call for help: can you help complete this table of all the CPU core frequencies of M-series chips? M3 Ultra and M5 values are requested, please.
You’ve tried entering your password, but it doesn’t work. Should you try guessing? As that imposes increasing waiting times of up to 8 hours, maybe not. Try this instead.
The T2 chip was designed for FileVault, and it comes at no cost to that and in Apple silicon Macs. Here’s how it works, and why everyone should enable it.
If your virtualiser allows you to run 2 macOS VMs at the same time, and to give them different MAC addresses, it’s easy to migrate from one to the other as explained here.
Listing for all compatible Intel Macs with T2 chips, and all Apple silicon Macs.
Which type of CPU cores are most active during Visual Look Up? How their frequencies and active residencies change? How demanding is it?
