Cool! my 13" MacBook Pro is running Mojave (can't upgrade to Big Sur) so the options look a bit different for me, but I haven't looked into these for several years now, though some of them I've never considered to be "obscure." Thanks for the quick tour. It's fun to see what has changed over the years.

Hey Gary, when I made the switch to Apple in 2007 I searched for ways to increase my Apple knowledge. Starting out with Tiger OS Manual I read it front to back. Then I discovered Mac Geek Gab podcast. That was a giant leap. I quickly got ramped up to my Mac. You were the other GREAT find. You were the hug to Mac Geek Gab's kiss. The information you provide is priceless and worth a million. I've subscribed to your Patreon Channel. The value received is worth more than my subscription fee. "When the value exceeds the price, price ceases to be an issue". The other comment I'd like to make is about the Apple Community. From day one, and forward, I have found the Apple Community to be extremely supportive, unlike Windows. Nothing like this exists in the Windows world. It's a pity and why I will always remain in the Apple World. Thank you for your contribution and support.

Your videos are amazing!!! I just had to replace my 2015 Intel Mac Book with a new M1 and I've been banging my head on the desk trying to get the new one to act like the old one. Then I found your videos and I've been binging them and finding the answers to all my questions. Mostly it's dozens of little things that I changed over time on the old one, like having it announce the time with a Scottish accent, but also big ones like how to set up Time Machine on a network drive. Apple seems to have changed where all that stuff lives, not to make it easier or better, but because they could. Anyway, thank you.

I’ve always thought Apple should have a “what’s new” command for System Preferences that hilites or shows only the new items in each category. I spend a lot of time searching for prefs that I’ve seen elsewhere or just wanted for awhile. “What’s new…” would be a great tool for those of us expecting or hoping for improvements in Sys Prefs. Searching in Prefs is a really bad idea, just massively wasted time, imo.
