My favourite example is Airdrop. It never ever was reliable for me, hidden problems made it inoperational between changing combination of 3 apple products (2 MacBooks and one iPhone) most of the time. Mostly it does not work. The other devi

My first try with iCloud, not long after got introduced, was a disaster. Test disaster only, but a definite disaster. I turned it on, added a document, turned off, then got notified that my local file will be deleted. Forced the 'iClou

I have the very same feeling concerning electronics. Searching for a particular product does not even popping up 5-10 comparison articles but the content of all seems to be based on technical specifications of the manufacturer only, which I

The whole notification center in Mac is just a harrasment tool for me. Difficult to turn off, needs atomic actions for each and every app separately, new ones has the default on for whatever things those want to bother me about, non time se
