    I’ll finally be getting a Mac soon. I just have a few more questions. Is there a way to scan for viruses or malware on a Mac? Or does it do it itself? Is it ok to keep the MacBook plugged in all the time, and is it better to have it only charge up to 80%? I’m pretty sure I saw that somewhere. And to not let the battery go down below 20%. And should you always leave the Mac on, even if it’s a MacBook?

    • @macmost

      It has anti-malware built in and always working. See ruclips.net/video/Dhl9_P8uBw0/видео.html
      Yes, keep it plugged in when convenient and use it on battery when convenient. If power is available, keep it plugged in. It will manage the battery itself, you don't need to do anything like watch the charge amount. macOS handles that and will adjust to maximize battery longevity. Don't try to second-guess it.

      Just like Gary said, it’s fine. Apple uses batteries that have no memory effect, the only battery recommendation I’m aware of is if you shut it down for an extended time, several weeks or months. Apple recommends leaving it unplugged until the battery reaches 50%, then shut down. As to viruses, one of the benefits of Apple’s software in addition to what Gary mentioned, is that it it hellishly hard to write a virus to infect a Mac.

    • @macmost
      @macmost  Месяц назад

      No idea. It wouldn't be a straight comparison. Not that easy. There are lots of things: processor speed, number of processors, how the processors are used, bus speed, memory speed, swap memory speed, GPU speed (and number of them), other processors speed/number, speed of connection from processors to memory... and so on. It is easier to just compare benchmarks for something you actually do. Like if you render a 10 minute 4K video in Adobe Premiere, then do that and compare.

    One thing I've noticed when you send a document to ChatGPT to review its content, and want to ask it follow on questions, you may lose the chat if you accidentally click outside the Siri input. In order to make sure that doesn't happen, click and pull the Siri input down a little, so that it locks it on the screen. That way you won't accidentally lose the chat.

    Dont't get me wrong Garry, I LOVE your channel,... yet language models such as ChatGPT are some of the most energy-guzzling technologies of all. A single query to an AI-powered chatbot can use up to ten times as much energy as an old-fashioned Google search. According to a research from the University of California, Riverside, a conversation with ChatGPT consumes around 50 cl of water, the equivalent of a small plastic bottle.
    With nearly 1.5 billion users a month, that adds up fast.The industry’s environmental impact is a key issue, yet the companies that produce such models have stayed remarkably quiet about the amount of energy they consume - probably because they don’t want to spark our concern. Not everything that CAN be done technologically, SHOULD necessarily be done ... Something to think about...
