Software Updates & Hardware Challenges:

• Fear of similar glitches resurfacing has made Sorg hesitant about updating his Mac Mini, his production workhorse.

• The inflatable comes with a built-in fan for quick inflation, weighs down for stability, and includes stakes for outdoor setup.
• She describes it as high-quality and perfect for indoor or outdoor Halloween decoration.
The NotchedNook Gadget:
• Sorg discusses NotchedNook, a unique MacBook accessory and software that expands the use of the MacBook’s “notch” area.
• Features include a media player, shortcut tray, and mirror, allowing users to utilize the notch for extra functionality.
• Though the tool feels a bit gimmicky, Sorg appreciates its novelty and minor productivity improvements, recommending the lifetime version for $25 from io.cafe.
