Both iFixit and MacminiVault described replacing the RAM as “impossible.” Getting access to the inside of the new Mac mini is more difficult than it used to be … The twist-off bottom cover of the previous model is gone, with a new plastic cap needing to be levered off....

Mac OS Mountain Lion has over a hundred new features, Apple says, but the most significant are the influences from iOS.

Field of the Dead has been a problematic card over the past few months of Magic: The Gathering competitive Standard play, boasting strong top finishes before Throne of Eldraine released and becoming even more oppressive to the metagame’s diversity after the new set was made available....

The problem is that each time Microsoft issues a major update to Windows 10, the company hides Control Panel deeper into the OS. For example, in previous versions, you could find it in the Quick Access Menu or in File Explorer — but no more. Sure, you can find it via the Start menu. But not everyone uses Windows the same way and would prefer to open it by clicking an icon....

The Mandalorian’s Din Djarin fulfills the image Star Wars fans always had of Boba Fett.

An intergalactic man of mystery, Boba Fett was chastised by Darth Vader for being too trigger-happy with his disintegrations, and then succeeded in bringing the one and only Han Solo back to Jabba’s Palace in an embarrassing carbonite freeze pose....

Universal has announced release dates for a pair of new original thrillers written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan. It’s been quite the roller coaster ride, chronicling the auteur’s career since he broke out with The Sixth Sense in 1999. After following up his blockbuster supernatural thriller with a pair of more modest hits in Unbreakable and Signs, Shymalan went through a rough patch, releasing one critical dud after one over the course of a decade (some of which still managed a profit, some of which did not)....

While iOS won’t support the standard, macOS officially supports aptX (not to be confused with aptX HD) as a Bluetooth audio codec. However, macOS will likely favor AAC as Apple’s apps such as iTunes prefer the codec. All Bluetooth headphones support the pretty terrible, widely available SBC audio codec. But, the codec is pretty terrible and compresses your audio more than most would like. Generally, more modern headphones support AAC (which iPhones support), and aptX (the codec that most Android devices use)....
