Rosetta 2 is still doing a lot of quiet work in 2026 [Test copy 34-94036]

Ran a survey of what actually launches under translation on my machines. It is more than I expected, especially audio plugins.

Screen replacement quote came to more than the laptop is worth [Test copy 34-80615]

Out of warranty, cracked panel. Quote was 1,140. The machine sells used for about 900. Anyone used a third-party repair for this successfully?

Nine Mac utilities that replaced my whole subscription stack [Test copy 29-54720]

Everything here is native, none of it is Electron, and all of it survives an OS upgrade. I have been trimming for a year and this is what stuck.

The new Login Items panel in 27.1, for anyone still on 27.0 [Test copy 26-16816]

Marked as a spoiler because some people want to find it themselves.

Why does Spotlight reindex every single time I reboot?

Started three weeks ago. mds_stores pins a core for about twenty minutes after every restart. Already tried adding and removing the drive from Privacy.

Battery health dropped 6% in two months — normal or worth a service visit? [Test copy 25-1580]

16-inch, bought in March, mostly plugged in at a desk. Cycle count is only 74. Is leaving it at 100% all day the culprit?

Thermal paste replacement on a Mac mini: worth it or nonsense?

Seen a few videos claiming big gains. Seems unlikely on a machine that barely throttles.
