over 25 years ago I’ve been in the Mac world and I never stopped learning new things in this field. Last week, Applesfera turned 16 with y’all, and me naive, that in April 2006, I thought it would be very difficult to have articles on Apple to talk about every day. In those 16 years, there hasn’t been a single day that we haven’t published something.
Small everyday things that don’t fit in bulky items can matter too.
Before, we had the GUMs – the legendary Macintosh User Groups (some are still valid), where we shared knowledge, applications, ways to use our computers and above all, a good time with friends. Perhaps in this spirit the media appeared in linewhich started with IRC in the early 2000s and comes to us, Twitch or YouTube.
Perhaps what I miss most about these meetings (besides the friends I made in them) son these little things maybe too short dedicate an article to them, but terribly useful. I’m talking about pressing Command + Enter to open a folder directly from Spotlight, using the “Replace” function in System Preferences/Keyboard to write emojis that are automatically replaced with the word we choose. Those things that many of us use every day and those that we may not give importance to.
Count “offices” as an exercise in order
Everything doesn’t have to be stuff like that which I take the opportunity to recommend to you again: a smart folder on your Mac that automatically resizes and changes the format of any type of image you put there or this impressive collection of Mac tricks that will be useful both for those who have a brand new computer and for those who already have it – I’m sure you’ll discover something new.
This week Miguel López and I discussed one of those tricks that can go unnoticed and can help make your Mac more agile (especially if you are low on RAM). We’re also doing a little experiment: if you search Spotlight for the “Desktop” or “Backup” folder… how many do you find? It seems like we’ve all done this thing of “sweeping the desks under the rug” into a folder with those names that we may have on our hard drives more than once (except Miguel who is very accommodating).
Additionally, we discussed what opening up NFC to payment apps would mean for Apple – and what security implications it would have (if there has). The iPhone 14 also comes to greet us, from which we could practically draw what it will look like – and that this year will mean a significant change in terms of the range of versions from other generations.
you can hear The Applesphere Talks from your favorite podcast app, like Apple Podcasts, iVoox or Spotify. If you want to participate in the live recordingevery Tuesday we are on the Webedia channel of Twitch, elstream, at 7:30 p.m. (peninsular english time).
