The world of portable batteries and power stations is expansive. We have tiny power banks that can be put on your keychain, and then we have huge and robust battery banks that can power appliances and run an entire motor home. But the name of the game has always been efficiency and density. Companies ask themselves, “How can we make form factors smaller while increasing their capacity?” Yolaness has done it with their new 1536Wh portable power station.

Bluetti, makers of portable power systems both large and small, is hosting a Mother’s Day sale to honor the one who did the most. At 9to5Mac, we power everything we do, and this latest sale might be all the excuse we need to snag some great portable power from Bluetti.

In 2023, security is a top priority for every organization, including businesses using Macs. While very secure, Macs are still vulnerable to threats, including phishing attacks and malware. Security is no longer a technology concern. It’s now a business concern. Most of the security discussion on macOS revolves around software updates, endpoint security software, and other high-level topics.

What doesn’t get brought up enough is user privileges. Every CISO or even the CEO should ask their IT teams if employees are running as local administrators on their Macs. If they are, they should ask the team if it’s necessary compared to the critical risks elevated privileges can create. 

Here’s the bottom line: There’s no need for Mac users to have administrative powers 24/7.

MacPaw’s app subscription service has proven extremely popular for Mac, and the company is now investing more in the iOS platform to bring the same benefits to iPhone and iPad.

Users pay a single monthly subscription for full access to the pro versions of a wide range of apps. No ads, no in-app purchases, no update fees – just one low monthly payment.
