15th May, 201928th January, 2021 Marcel Stör1 Comment

Yes, Apple did forget to include a dial pad for FaceTime on the Mac. Says who? I do. Every now and then I make short posts about Apple macOS/Mac behavior I observe that annoys or delights me enough to spend time writing a post. It isn’t all perfectly thought through that gets the Apple design […]
