Going deeper into Recovery mode, by setting the correct keyboard, sharing the Data volume with another Mac, using full features in Disk Utility and Safari, and avoiding repairing Home permissions.
Apple silicon
Running older macOS, support for Intel apps and kernel extensions, booting from an external drive, Boot Camp and Windows support, cloning, and startup key combinations.
Apple silicon laptops start up (if not asleep) when you open their lid or connect power. Now you can change that behaviour by setting their NVRAM.
How to more than double the speed of a thread run on the E cores, by running another 11 threads at the same time.
Early testing of TB5 SSDs show they do deliver much faster speeds that even USB4 models, although not as high as some claim. But their cache size may limit streaming large amounts of data.
How to create and set up macOS VMs for virtualisers. The structure of a VM, creation and first run explained. How to enhance it, and how to run it in isolation.
How macOS can not only regulate CPU cluster frequencies to control power use, but also moves threads to E cores. This reduces power use of over 50 W to less than 13 W.
Which versions of macOS can run in a VM? Can they run Intel apps too, and Intel macOS? How well do they perform? Can they access iCloud and run App Store apps?
Provides maximum frequencies for E and P cores in each of the M-series, a table of all frequency steps used by current M-series chips, and explanation of how they have come about and their importance.
It took over 6 months before creating bootable external disks was fairly reliable, and even then there were unexplained failures. Did someone fail to tell us something?
