• HELP PLEASE: MAC AIR ULTRA SLOW CPU

  iStat Menus has been around a long time and is very reliable. I've used this for many, many years on numerous different Mac models, and it's top-notch. It displays all sorts of system statistics in the menu bar and lets you define custom fan controls for different component (CPU, etc) temperatures, all in a nice, sleek interface.

• After dreaming of Al Gore's setup for 15 years, finally I got this:

  Don't do this on my behalf but if you're ever curious yourself, on some other date, you can use iStat Menu among other utilities or readers to check GPU utilization, thats a lot easier to read than Activity Monitor. If using iStat, go to iStat Menus, click on the CPU/GPU dropdown, then the GPU in the active items bar, and select processor. You'll see a graph and you can just let that sit for a few minutes and...

• ACC + Steam working great with apple's game porter

  Fantastic! I read that it is an M1, but what model and configuration exactly is it? If you like and are curious, install this app https://bjango.com/mac/istatmenus/, it tells you everything, temperature, fan RPM, etc. Source: 9 months ago

• iOS 16.5.1 and macOS 13.4.1 Address Actively Exploited Vulnerabilities, Make Sure to Update

  Install stats and put it in your menu bar. It will show the top processes. If my battery is going down quicker than usual I check there and it is usually some hungry tab in Firefox. But I've also noticed bluetoothd using way more CPU than I would expect. Source: 8 months ago

• ELI5: Why do computers get so enragingly slow after just a few years?

  Use a tool like smFanControl, Macs Fan Control, or Stats to manually set your fan speed to 100%. This is noisy and reduces the lifetime of the part, but it means you can force your device to cool down, even when the OS doesn't want to. Source: 9 months ago
