I learned some useful tips from this video. Amongst them, the “paste without format” and “summarize” are very useful when making notes and I didn’t know them before. Thanks!

[@mrsoup5034]

My guy threw a curve ball with kitty pics only to shock us with saying he*ti. Wtf bro, this is savage

[@alanbenham4139]

You've given me some really useful tips there. Thank you.

I find the Web Receipts folder in the documents folder to be incredibly useful: It does NOT exist by default but you do not have to create it either. If you wish to save to that folder, do it via the Print dialogue. File-->Print-->PDF (PDF is located at the bottom of the Print window, to the left of the Cancel and Print buttons). From the dropdown menu under PDF, choose "Save to Web Receipts." If this is the first time using this feature, the Web Receipts folder is created inside the Documents folder. Henceforth anything saved to Web Receipts goes into this folder. I choose to place each subsequent year's receipts into a new Receipts folder for each year. On Jan 1st, 2024 I will make a new folder called 2023 Receipts in the Documents folder and move all the 2023 receipts there, reserving the Web Receipts folder for 2024 receipts.

[@redsky_09]

the predectied text is a really cool feature

[@julius_nuernberger]

Is there a way to preview a open file in the dock by hovering the cursor above it, similar to Windows?

[@Tricklarock]

Nice! Thank you

[@dhruvakumar0602]

clean presentation

[@TheTstewart777]

Great tips, thanks! In Sonoma, I don't see a Finder View option to change background color. did they remove this?

[@jethrojacinto2798]

Did he just say what I thought he did? 😂 2:57

[@rafdavid19]

He did. I had to play it back like 3 times to make sure 😅

[@inth3flow]

So good 👍

[@Dahamck]

Amazing!

[@hardik6700]

[@Zem_o]

[@dcpowered]

[@junechevalier]

[@ThatCrazyCoconut]

[@ahervijay97]

😂😂😂

[@davenadelman9188]

brand new to the macworld (like yesterday). i tried the merge pdf option and my pdfs did not merge. Is there a setting i need to enable for this?

[@user-zn9ke8um8s]

Can I do anything I want on a MacBook and do I have to get other Apple devices for it to work well?

[@LiamApilado]

caffeinate is cool

[@junechevalier]

Works really well for hentai, I can confirm 👍

[@Dtxew]

where did you find those safari wallpapers?? I really like them.

[@lavdaalasun1629]

[@Jessisontop]

[@icspawn]

[@AlexanderLindo]

[@AlMiner]

I wish I could buy you a beer for the video! 🍻

[@Adrian-ol1uz]

How to show suggestions list?

[@mixjokera]

Man im a new mac user. and you just saved one mac mini and one macbook. almost ready to sold them. Yeah they are better in adobe than windows but :D.

[@ragingpoop8658]

Would you recommend updating to Sonoma with only 8GB of memory? Looking at the new features, I feel like it's just a lot of bloat that I might not need. I know your system is meant to use memory but I'm worried that Sonoma will make me use more swap.

[@z1pp1k]

it's the same as ventura for me

[@CreatedTech]

If you're on Apple silicon go for it. If you're using an old Intel Mac, possibly not. I haven't tested it.

[@danielk.3017]

If you have enough money and you need a good computer, I recommend to just create a backup, and buy new macbook, and then on the new macbook click restore backup and just sell the old macbook

[@alexclairmont]

i've used macbooks for over ten years and didn't know MOST of these tips O_O this is life changing wtf

[@RihardsVeters]

What if I’ve another mac in my office which I want to access? It uses the same apple id as my current mac.

[@sadorowo]

4:31 you can just right click and select "Turn Hiding On/Off"

[@bydesign868]

So, it's not Command + Shift + 4 and hit Enter, you hit Spacebar. No wonder it didn't work! LOL Great video!

[@motofunk1]

Spaces is the most useful feature on a Mac.

[@pythonantole9892]

One thing i love about Apple is that they are not just a tech company but a powerful marketing company as well. It's 2023 and they have people excited about wallpapers almost as if its some new ground breaking invention.

[@anandchoudhary3711]

All of the tips ad tricks that you showcased that you have found in "10 years" were found in just 4 years by a 13 year old child in half the time you took. but still thanks! this video made me remind all of these tips again to use them daily.

[@CreatedTech]

No one likes a humblebrag comment, it’s cringeworthy.

[@FREEFIREGAMING-nz3od]

The quote "Works great for hentai." was very subtle...😅

[@jacknapster5693]

2:17 Bruh 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@charvlim5159]

1st tip : get the Silver 😮

[@Justin.Franks]

3:30 A lot of blurred icons and folders there....maybe it's the aforementioned hentai.

[@Justin.Franks]

There's a single frame unblurred right when it pops up, and it's all boring normal stuff. Disappointed.

[@repentandliveholy]

[@user-ih7vg7fo4t]

Just press with two fingers. It’s the same

[@NoamFavier]

if you want there is also another shortcut, you go to application, and you can delete edge like a normal human being 😂😂

[@abinashrabhaofficial]

Apple should pay you for the video.

[@ThatCrazyCoconut]

bro if i had a mac my downloads folder will be as big as your folder

[@minhazulislam4682]

Your advice on battery preservation (charge till 80, unplug and discharge at 20) wrecked my battery. I started using AlDente to keep my charge in 49-51 range for a long time. Both charge cycle and battery health has been better than the time I took your advice. Yet, I am here to see if you know anything that I do not. Kindly be careful while making content.

[@Killou]

Same here, my MBA m1 battery went from 99% health to 81 I always charge to 80% and discharge to 20

[@CreatedTech]

I’m assuming you’re referring to my battery video? Actually I recommended to keep it plugged in the entire time. Alternatively, keeping it between 80% and 20% is good too, but it’s a lot of effort. I can guarantee you that IF your battery health has decreased abnormally, it’s not because you were following those instructions (which is what Apple and other battery experts also recommend). You either have a dud battery, or there were other factors involved (e.g. heat, malfunctioning charger etc). To be clear, at the time I also recommended to stay away from Al Dente.

[@AlexanderIsDead]

All good, but why did you have to say "I’m *assuming* you’re referring to my battery video?" though? Why assume? Wasn't it clear? Or were you trying to inform your audience (who don't watch your video end to end) that you didn't discuss this subject in this video?@@CreatedTech

[@CreatedTech]

@@AlexanderIsDead Why are you getting so hung up on my reply? I think the wording I used is pretty self-explanatory.

[@shiyamaifrad8933]

First hehe

[@ioncicc]

Брат. ТЫ русский?
