they turn off when I've walked away from my desk.

Re: Migration - new MacBook
Hi Peter -
It’s extremely difficult to migrate piecemeal in the way you describe. I don’t recommend it. Additionally, it might actually work out that the kernel extension that caused you problems on your previous Mac won’t have the same effect on your new Mac.
I recommend doing a standard migration of all your data and hoping for the best.
By the way, the signed system volume is not inherent to APFS but isn’t how Apple has been offering macOS as of Big Sur.

Re: Seeking recommended 27" monitor
I think you're very right ... the panels probably all come from 2 og 3 sources ... so we pay for brand name, design and the physical build of the monitors ... and some do it better that other :-)?

250 USD seems absolutely reasonable :-) Let me quickly tell you a story. My wife decided that she needed a small monitor to attach to her monitor for use at home. She didn’t talk to me about it, she just did some research and ordered one. She told me about it when it was on its way. It was an AOC, which I hadn’t even heard of at the time. I asked her how much it was, and she told me that it was UNDER $100. I was worried that, for the price, that it might not even turn on. How could a nice monitor be under $100, I thought. The monitor showed up, she hooked it up to her laptop, and…it was beautiful. I was stunned. So, I learned that off-brand monitors can be really nice. Not just AOC either. I’ve seen several monitors with unrecognizable brand names that have had beautiful displays. It all depends on where they get their components from, I guess. __________________________________________________ Randy B.

If you want a genuine Samsung, you will have to pay a bit more, but some people would prefer to. Here is a good deal on a 27-inch Samsung:
SAMSUNG U28R550UQNX 28" 4K UHD Monitor with AMD Free Sync
$280
By the way, if what you want is a more affordable, but still ultra-high end alternative to Apple’s Studio Display, check out:
Alogic’s Clarity 27-Inch 4K Monitor
$800
Thanks Randy. I thought that might be the case. I'm not interested at the moment but like to keep up with what's out there.

Seeking recommended 27" monitor
Hello
What are your best suggestions for a 27 inch monitor for my new Mac mini ?
Best affordable resolution, of course.
Apple monotors are nice, but financially out of reach … what are the best alternatives?
Thanks in advance,

Audio does not seem to have a standard. ?
I listen to audiobooks with Libby. It is an app to borrow books, similar to borrowing thru a library.?
It will often play, even when actively using another app to do other things like Mail.app, many items on Facebook, Messages.app, or games. Games and their ads seem to give the widest range of results. Some allow the audiobook to play, some if the ad is short, some allow two audio track to play and some mess up all audio.?
This is on an iPhone Xr, running 16.5.1. I am sure it varies by device and OS. I have found no settings to alter this.

Everything overlaps. Just look at, for example, networking a Mac computer with any other computer, not to mention connecting all sorts of mobile phones and tablets to a Mac via USB or even wifi.

Randy’s answer about going to safari preferences was good. I did not see the so called Geneio virus listed..
You won’t see an extension listed with the name “Geneio”. The bad guys don’t want to make it that easy for you to delete it. As per my instructions, delete any extensions that you aren’t 100% sure that you purposely installed. If you aren’t 100% sure that you installed a particular extension on purpose, delete it. I did delete a lot of unrecognized cookies I didn’t suggest that you delete any cookies. It’s fine if you did, but it probably didn’t/won't help anything. I suggested that you delete unrecognized “extensions” and “Web site data”. __________________________________________________ Randy B.
