Best Photography Gear for 2024

I turned 72 this year and have been enjoying photography for close to 50 years.

We'll cover how to type letters with accents using keyboard shortcuts, as well as how to insert them using the Mac Accent menu.

How to Turn Off Auto-Caps on Mac (iOS 17)

By default, your Mac will automatically capitalize certain words (such as at the beginning of a sentence, a technical term, or a city's name). While this is usually helpful, there are times when automatic capitalization is inaccurate and becomes annoying to fix. Below, we'll cover how to turn off automatic capitalization on your Mac.

WWDC 2022

Apple has announced its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) Keynote will be held this year on June 6.
