#Mac people: I am connected to the internet via my iPhone’s mobile hotspot. Is there any way to see the actual network coverage bars in my Mac’s menu bar, rather than or as well as the linked chain icon?

MacOS app tip…
One of the few things I missed when I returned from Windows to Mac was the automatic activation of windows underneath the pointer.
If you also prefer that, the free AutoRaise tool has got you covered:

Hey Apple! Remember when macOS used to be fun? We sure do! We spent years creating hard drive icons people love to use. Let us help give Tahoe a little love too—we’re ready! 
We crafted a complete branding package for Photon — the ultimate Mac-only camera.
From a sleek macOS app icon and intuitive UI icons to a responsive website and dynamic animation, we built a unified visual story for potential buyers https://toaster.llc/photon/index.html

Thank you, #fediverse for all the boosts on this!
I think we finally have an answer — see this brilliant reply by @shaknais.

The weirdness is Cocoa vs Carbon.
These are interfaces that Apple make, that you get to re-use when making your own app.
Carbon, the older one, used a COM interface that does the copy-style thing on drag 'n drop.
Cocoa, the new API, does the navigation. And all macOS things are required to be Cocoa moving forward. (Or whatever shiny is next.)
The "transition" happened around Snow Leopard. But some apps will never update to the newer interface - it takes an effort.
Ever wondered what the command symbol on a Mac means?
It means "castle".
Seen here at the site of the Merkinė hill fort, which has (sadly) been lost to history.

#Mac nerds: When you have an Open dialog visible, you can normally drag a file from the Finder *onto* the Open dialog (in another app) and the dialog should "navigate" to where that file lives and select it.
You knew that, because you’re a #pro! 
In some apps, though, that same maneuver results in Finder actually *moving* the file to whatever directory is shown in the Open dialog — not “navigating" the dialog *to* the file and selecting it.
What gives??? This drives me crazy. How can I make the behavior consistent across all apps?
(And yes I web-searched first, and this was the only other person I could find on the Internet with this same concern: https://www.reddit.com/r/MacOS/comments/18c0gdg/tip_you_can_drag_files_and_folders_into_open_and/ )
All 6 of my monochrome monitors made it through VCF West
6 Displays is the limit on a 68k mac unless you start adding display adapters on SCSI. This is a Quadra 950 with 5 nubus video cards and the the onboard video driving a desktop that is over 4400 pixel wide.
Fellow Mac users! Does anyone know if you can connect a Thunderbolt 4 laptop dock to a Mac Mini (M4), and get the same results as connecting the dock to a MacBook?
My chief desire is to get video on 2 monitors. I'd like to be able to do it through the dock if possible.
The Mac Mini has Thunderbolt 4 ports, rated for 2 displays each - hopefully the Mac Mini's ports work this way?
I’m suddenly having a problem with an external #SSD that is password protected and formatted in #Apple’s #APFS format, IIRC. It was working fine until today, and suddenly it won’t stay mounted. When I connect the drive, one of three things happens:
1) Nothing at all. The lights on the SSD drive indicate a connection, but the #Mac doesn’t recognize it, and neither does Disk Utility.
2) An error message pops up saying the drive can’t be read, and asking me if I want to erase and formatted it, ignore it, or eject it.
3) The password input window appears, as it should; I input the password and the drive mounts; but in under a minute it is unmounted, and an error message pops up saying the drive was unmounted improperly. (1/2)

Amazing! A computer without a hard drive. Whatever will they think of next…

Auf dem #Mac ist die freie und quelloffene #3D-Software @Blender bereits seit Jahren eine echte Institution. Von einer nativen #App für mobile Geräte wie das #iPad hat sich das Entwicklerstudio allerdings immer noch zurückgehalten – bis jetzt. Wie das #Blender-Team in einem Blogbeitrag berichtet, arbeitet man gerade an einer Blender-App für das #iPadPro.

So I transferred my iPhone and two Macs to this. Was pretty simple and it's def less money. Apple is supposed to refund the unused portion of the previous Applecare plans.
