A developer launches Patreon funding seeking to bring native Linux to Apple silicon Macs

The advent of Apple silicon Macs has inconvenienced users who prefer to run other operating systems on their Mac.

Well, a developer has launched a campaign to fund a project to create a Linux port for Apple silicon Macs.

For new users — Where is that on Mac?

Question Mark on MacBook

Maybe you just purchased your first Mac, or maybe you only perform certain tasks on it each day. In these situations, it can be difficult to find items you’re unfamiliar with when you need them.

Grounded bars access to vital Control Center toggles without authentication

I love how convenient Control Center makes it to toggle my iPhone or iPad’s controls on or off in a pinch, but I’m almost certain that anyone who’d grab my iPhone when I’m not looking might feel exactly the same way. In fact, Control Center makes it far too easy for a thief or mischief-maker to toggle Airplane Mode as a hindrance to handset recovery, and that’s enough to make anyone second-guess the added convenience…

Grounded is a brand new and free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer biD3V that’s designed to prevent such issues from living rent-free in your head. The tweak works by allowing users to make certain Control Center toggles unusable as long as your iPhone or iPad is locked, but they become usable the moment you authenticate yourself.
