  Sometimes OneDrive fails to properly sync your files. Here’s how to deal with these annoying issues.

  I use Microsoft OneDrive to back up and sync my documents, photos, and other files. For me, it’s still the most seamless way to ensure that my files are not only backed up to the cloud but also synced and accessible across all my computers and mobile devices.

  My plan to use Storage Spaces on Opal hit a speed bump.

  In my recent article Windows Storage Spaces (2023-05-22), I described my experiment with Opal, in which I decided to replace the RAID array created by Intel Rapid Storage with the same type of array created by Storage Spaces.

  No, I’m not talking about Apple Vision Pro, Apple’s new “spatial” computer.

  The big news is that Apple’s product lineup no longer includes Macs with Intel silicon.
