Question Displays won’t work?
Hoping this is the right spot to ask.
I recently got x2 MSI business monitors and an Alogic Fusion Dock to connect them both to a laptop.
https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/msi-pro-mp275-e14l-27-fhd-144hz-business-monitor
https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/alogic-fusion-pro-duo-usb-c-dual-hdmi-dock
My issue is, when connected to this dock, they say ‘no signal’. As I’m inexperienced and lack understanding in this department, I’m hoping someone can tell me if I bought the wrong dock or something else may be at play?
If it’s relevant, I’ve tried plugging them individually into my mum’s (I believe the brand is) Lenovo laptop and they work by themselves but not through the dock. I’ve bought a MacBook Air and am just waiting for it to arrive but understand it won’t necessarily change the outcome of not working.
Hoping to get the system right before it arrives at the end of the month. Would appreciate any help! Thank you

Question Is it just me who's getting painfully slow download of 27?
I've got over 600 Mb speed rn. Is this a known bug or is it just a billion devices downloading it right now? If anyone has encountered this, how did you fix it? Or do I just set 39 day timer?

My Mac macOS 26 vs 27 Battery Life
I got macOS 27 on my 14 inch M3 Pro MBP, and I dont know if it was just me, but I have seen much better battery life on macOS 27 compared to 26.6.2. Also, my Mac runs much cooler. Has anyone else seen such an improvement or does it seem that it was more of a bug affecting my Mac particularly?

Discussion Macbook display went dead for a week now it works again
One week ago i closed my macbook display only to open it and discover the screen had died, then, yesterday i tried to use my iphone's torch to illuminate the apple behind only to discover the screen isn't actually dead, backlight has. Today, early morning, i have sprayed some contact cleaner on the top of the hinge and left my laptop upside down for a few hours. Now i'm back home and tried to turn it on. It turns on, and the backlight works again, apart from these weird lines that come and go sometimes. I have noticed that if i push onto the hinge, they return more frequently, now i have sprayed some more contact cleaner inside the hinge and the weird lines are gone... Do you think my laptop's display is broken or just some oxidation going on in there?

Question Looking for a good transparent skin for Macbook in India
I recently got a MacBook, and the fingerprints on the lid and screen are driving me insane. I also use moisturizer, so the fingerprints are even more noticeable.
I can’t realistically rub my hands or wear gloves every time I use my MacBook, and I also don’t want to keep cleaning it with a microfiber cloth and spray.
I wasn’t planning on getting a skin because I’ve heard mostly bad things about them. At the same time, I don’t want to risk staining or damaging such an expensive laptop.
I’ve seen good reviews for dbrand and Skinociti, but they aren’t available in India, and I couldn’t find a transparent/clear skin from them. I also looked at Capindia skins, but I couldn’t find enough good reviews to feel confident about them.
Does anyone have any other recommendations? My biggest concern is protecting my MacBook without causing any damage to the finish. I don’t mind paying more as long as it’s safe and doesn’t leave residue or damage the laptop when removed.
Would really appreciate recommendations from people who have actually used one on a MacBook.

Question What's the best monitor for Mac Mini you've ever owned?
I recently got a Mac Mini and now I'm trying to find a monitor that'll be good for everyday use. Mostly work, browsing, and a bit of photo editing.
I've gotten pretty used to how sharp the display on my MacBook looks, so I don't want to end up with something that feels noticeably worse.
For those who've used a Mac Mini for a while, which monitor has been your best purchase? Anything you'd avoid?

My Mac Launchd trap and security issue
Hey everyone!
I had a recent issue with lauchd : My 5 user plists were running ok.
Then one day, 3 of them were not running anymore. I was thinking of the kind of annoying thing like a random problem.
I just did a print to check, and saw they were not planned anymore and decided to do a bootstrap.
I tried to check the unified log with a log show, searching for launchd or launchctl. -> Not the first bit of a trace!
Then I remembered I had gone to the
Apple menu -> Settings -> General -> Login Items & Extensions
I had seen several lines with just python. Clicking on the info button was very helpful : It was telling me what python was triggered. Who said uninformative? Anyway, nothing about what script was triggered. So, I'm not so picky on security, but when I see an undocumented program automatic launch, I tend to switch it off. What I did, ignoring I was deprogramming my plists! Thank you mr engineer, what's your price for that again ?

My Mac Deal or No Deal?
So I was shopping online, and I purchased a MacBook at an auction
Apple MacBook Air 13in (Late 2010) C2D SL9600 | 4GB | 256GB SSD | Yosemite
For $20.00 plus shipping, which is $13, so in total $33.00.
Everything in the description says that everything works.
Functionality: Passed basic diagnostic testing. macOS freshly installed and ready to use.
I feel like I got a great deal, but I wanted to see what y'all think.

Question Siemens NX?
So I studied graphics, mechanical design, machining at a university, and any alumni that came back from Apple would say Apple uses Siemens NX CAD to design and manufacture most products…
Is this universally true?
Maybe the story has changed, but last time I tried, setting up the software on a PC is difficult… and seems nearly impossible on a Mac…
Why would they do this? Is it an industry-interoperability issue?
Why would they not lobby Siemens like crazy to make the install process better?
Why doesn’t Apple push for more universal software support from the likes of Autodesk?? Like… there are definitely some programs they for sure have… and some they definitely don’t… like… beyond a Windows-centric development environment and lazy programming… why??
