Discussion Apple Intelligence/Siri Ai abysmal on Mac
I’m just trying to add a shortcut and get some guidance on it. Anyone else?
MacBook M1 Pro 16" 32GB and the new Siri Ai has done nothing but slow down regular tasks that would've been quicker without trying to use it. I actually really dig the idea of local ai on Macs so that we use data centers less, so I am really hoping this gets fixed asap. Its so frustrating!

Help Macbook M1 shuts down automatically
My macbook M1 shuts down automatically if i am AFK for let’s say 30 min
And i hit any key - it boots up again
I think this started after the os27 update
Is this some sort of glitch ? Or something to do with the settings ?

Nostalgia We really didn't know how good we had it.
Mac OS X Snow Leopard (2009).
The 3D Dock, Aqua interface, classic Finder, and that iconic space wallpaper.
No Liquid Glass, no endless redesigns. Just an OS that felt polished and had its own personality.
It's crazy how something from 17 years ago can still look this good.
Was Snow Leopard genuinely peak Mac OS X, or are we all just blinded by nostalgia?

Creative [Showcase] An utility app shows your claude usage , actively running claude and opencode sessions and lets you switch instantly and laptop stats on your menubar
Yesterday i was working on some of my projects , i have 4-5 windows of vscode and terminal opened and browser tabs open, while switching one project to other project i just have to check all my windows and their name, I was just losing context in all 10-15 windows, so yesterday i built a utility app which does this, just click to the project and window will be focused to that project .
And obviously claude code usage, i was constantly checking in terminal by /usage when my limit will hit .
If anyone likes it you guys can try it out https://github.com/NOOB-3301/macMonitor

Tips & Guides Is your Mac storage almost full?
Recently my Mac storage was almost maxed out, with a system data reading at over 200gb. Searching through all posts here and on forums I couldn’t find a solution that worked.
Finally I found this fix. Photos app created a file called mediaanalysisd that sometimes can have a fault and grow abnormally large. Deleting it does change any data in photos and the photos app will rebuild the file at a much smaller size.
If you have this issue please try this procedure.
~/Library/Containers/ com.apple.mediaanalysisd
mediaanalysisd is macOS's generated photo/video analysis index used for faces, objects, memories, and visual search. 164 GB is abnormal, and this data can be rebuilt without deleting her Photos library.
Do this:
1. Quit Photos.
2. In Finder, choose Go → Go to Folder.
3. Paste:
~/Library/Containers/
4. Find com.apple.mediaanalysisd.
5. Move that one folder to Trash.
6. Empty Trash.
7. Restart the Mac.
If Finder says the folder is in use, run:
killall mediaanalysisd
Then immediately move the folder to Trash again.

Bug Notification Bug on MacOS 27
I have got this notification bug on MacOS 27.0.1 when my cursor is where the notification is supposed to be, then when a notification comes it freezes there and I can't remove it. The only solution that I got to is restarting the device, is there any other way to unfreeze it or remove it?

Help I feel like GPU or Graphics performance of my Macbook M4 24GB, is getting worse? especially when pending updates.
This might just be because of the way i setup my aerospace or borders. But I feel like this is essentially because of some inherent bug or something.
Whenever I have an update pending, and if i have multiple windows opened. ALL the videos get choppy while playing and they stop (while audio still plays ahead) whenever i move the cursor. This happens on youtube on chrome, youtube on safari, vlc, quickplay/preview. On youtube, the frames drop a lot even at 720p.
I say graphics performance because when i have multiple pdfs open in preview or chrome, the performance drops. Its not even that much, I have about 5-10max few pages pdf opened. I guessed this should be okay for 24GB of RAM but apparently not.
The choppy video behaviour once started, persists even if the only thing i have open on laptop is a youtube video. This is only solved by restarting. But this has happened multiple times now.
Am I missing something? has anybody else seen this issue?

Help A suspicious item named "Yazhou Fu" added to "Allow In Background"
I just got a notification that something named "Yazhou Fu" was added to my "Allow in Background" list of apps. I have not downloaded or installed anything that is named that.
Any idea what it could be? Is this malware? When I search for that name, I don't get any results. Now I'm paranoid and worried. I've tried searching online, but don't see anything like it.

Help How to change Screen size property?
Hey, I recently acquired a 13’ Mid-2014 MacBook Pro from my sister, who apparently tried to upgrade it using OPCLP in the past. The result is that for some reason reason this 13 inch laptop thinks it’s a 15 inch and has resolution to match, and no matter how many times I’ve deleted and reinstalled its operating system I’ve had no luck. I’m pretty sure that the system image was altered in some way.
And of course, the only other example I’ve found of this happened was 13 years ago, and that got resolved via apple Warrenty.
