    mac tip that blew my mind:

    1. Hold teh Option key.
    2. Click a menu bar icon or open an app menu.
    3. Watch items change or extra details appear.

    Option-clicking Wi-Fi shows network details. Option-clicking Bluetooth shows device addresses and more info. In Finders Go menu, holding Option reveals teh hidden Library folder. Ive used a Mac for eight years and only knew about right-clicking.

    sorry forgot to say it was drops. wireless Diagnostics showed a crowded channel, i switched the router channel and its better.

    Option+Shift while pressing volume or brightness keys adjusts in smaller quarter steps 🙏 Small thing, I use it every day.

    hmmm in the Option-click Wi-Fi menu, "Open Wireless Diagnostics" launches a built-in app that can scan nearby networks and suggest channels. Very useful for apartment Wi-Fi.
