If you love someone, set them free. If you hate someone, set them free. Basically set everyone free and get a dog. People are stupid.
Trying things myself so you don't have to…
Tried a MacBook Neo experiment with the Mac Mini's Touch ID keyboard. The experiment was to see if Touch ID would work on the Neo (mine is the base model without Touch ID). Initially, I had high hopes, the option once the keyboard was paired was visible in system settings.
I clicked on the setup Touch ID prompt and it showed "Preparing for Touch ID" in a popup.
Then the popup vanished, along with the option in the sidebart of the system settings app.
So I restarted the Mac, found the setting was available, hit the add fingerprint icon.
The setting promptly vanished.
Restarted in Safe Boot, then restarted normally. Touch ID setting was back but vanished again almost as soon as it was opened.
Conclusion: External Touch ID keyboards will work OK on a base model 256 GB MacBook Neo with the exception of Touch ID itself.
Fortunately, my Apple Watch replicated most of the Touch ID features anyway.
Erwin Schrödinger admitted defeat after his cat smugly proved that the box both exists and does not exist at the same time, whether observed or not. Then later went on to prove that furballs have zero mass.
Since buying my 256 GB MacBook Neo, I’m using it a lot more than the 512 GB M5 11-in iPad Pro.
Definition of lazy.
Not wanting to leave my warm bed at 11am, I decided to run Clean My Mac on the MacBook Neo which is currently on the desk beside the Mac Mini in the home office via screen sharing from my MacBook Air. I got about halfway through the process when the connection glitched and refused to resume.
So I shared the Mac Mini’s screen and then used that connection to share the Neo’s screen. I was able to finish the cleanup of the Neo from the Air despite the two computers refusing to share their screens directly.
Update time again. I have four Macs to update to macOS 26.5; two iPads needing iPadOS 26.5; an iPhone already on iOS26.5; Apple Watch needing watchOS 26.5; two Apple TV 4k units needing tvOS 26.5 and five HomePods getting audioOS 26.5.
Rather than the incremental update of macOS via Software Update I'm downloading the InstallAssistant.pkg 26.5 direct from Apple, via the mrmacintosh.com website. The InstallAssistant.pkg when run will add the full Tahoe 26.5 installer to your Applications folder. Once run, it is deleted when the Mac reboots into the new macOS version.
I maintain an archive of all macOS installers right back to OS 10.3 Panther on two external SSDs for use on other Macs.
@variablepulserate One useful aspect of wireless charging is that sometime I see a warning of moisture detected in the charging port of my iPhone. The warning tells me not to use that port until it has dried out. This is when I use wireless charging. The heat buildup in the phone itself from using MagSafe helps to dry out the USB-C port. The same applies to my iPad Pro M5, except there's no MagSafe for that. I have a different charger that attaches magnetically to the iPad's Smart Connector, leaving the USB-C port free for non-power uses or to dry it out.
@variablepulserate Try the U Green brand. They sell a powerful 25W MagSafe-capable powerbank with a built-in 30W PD USB-C cable.
