run Apple TV’s gorgeous aerial screensavers on your Mac
Back in 2015, I showed you how to run the new ( back then ) and gorgeous Apple TV aerial screensavers on your Mac. This is possible thanks to an app called Aerial.

iPhone 12 concept
It’s been quite a long time since we’ve posted an iPhone concept. And for good reason. Even if you like to admit it or not, the iPhone line-up in the last couple of years has been pretty boring. And concepts were just as boring or flat out unrealistic.

Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > and check “Require password immediately after sleep or screen saver begins’.
