For macOS 15 Sequoia
Here are 10 tips for macOS that you probably didn't know.
One thing I like to do in my spare time is find out new tips for macOS. Digging through underrated tips and ones which might not be useful to me (better managing windows, mission control, etc.), I have found a few useful tips which I want to share.
Most of these will work with any recent version of macOS. Ones that require a certain version or later will be mentioned if I know when the feature came out.
For a while now, VoiceOver portable preferences has bugged me, because it's so outdated. Today I decided to tackle the problem once and for all.
Aims:
What I wanted was a way to take my preferences with me wherever I go. I have 2 macs, one at my house, and one at the place I volunteer, which sort of doubles as a demo machine. So I wanted to be able to make awesome things happen at home, then have the changes reflected when I went to another mac, without the really serious risk that I'd lose my memory stick.
This article will show you, the reader who uses a Mac with the Voiceover screen reader, exactly why I haven’t jumped ship and fled to Windows 10. I’ll compare the state of accessibility of Windows and Mac as operating systems, features of first-party apps, advancements in first-party screen readers, and the outlook of accessibility at both companies. I will attempt to be objective in this article, so as to present my arguments in a logical and useful way.
