If I open the Dictionary app’s preferences, I can choose different sources. One of the sources is an English thesaurus. Since I’m studying some other languages (like Spanish), I’d like to see thesauruses in those other languages too, but they are not available on my computer. The only thesaurus is the English one.

When I click on this question mark finder tells me it can’t open it because the original item couldn’t be found. A week ago I downloaded a file that I suspect could have been malware. Could a malware manifest this way? Thanks!

This seems to be caused by the quarantine flag, which all network shares have when mounted with a bookmark (or AppleScript, for that matter). […]
I’m using macOS Big Sur and accidentally deleted private/var/folders while trying to clean up my storage. Now I’m stuck at the Apple logo on the boot up page (the white bar won’t move). I’ve found some solutions from similar questions which did not work for me. I guess the old commands don’t work in Big […]
