A step-by-step fully illustrated guide to how to use every feature in Recovery Mode on an M1 or M2 Mac running Big Sur, Monterey or Ventura.
How lightweight virtualisation of macOS on Apple silicon Macs lays out its VM bundle, how its builds that in installation, and details of the VM log.
Three types of Disk Image, encrypted or not, tested when freshly made or used and remounted. So many variations, but only one type of Disk Image can be trusted for writing.
How a standard developed for virtualisation on Linux has become central to lightweight virtualisation in macOS Monterey and Ventura.
A Mac Studio Max has an SSD delivering up to 7.4 GB/s, and a CPU up to 50% faster than a 16-core Xeon. Why does it write an encrypted disk image at the speed of a slow hard disk?
From Diagnostics Mode to Terminal, a full account of the features available to Apple silicon models, how to engage them, and navigation.
Ideal for storing archives of important files, M-DISC media are intended to last longer than a human lifetime, but are expensive. Here’s how to use them.
Intended to counter hardware exploits, such as the checkm8 exploit of T2 chips and Thunderspy for Thunderbolt 3, this should prove valuable protection.
Extensive checks on security data and settings from the command line. An important update, particularly for macOS 10.15 and later, and Apple silicon Macs.
