2019 16-inch MacBook Pro: First Impressions and Benchmarks

After years of trying to make an iPad or iPad Pro work as a viable MacBook substitute, I finally decided this year that my next work computer would be a MacBook Pro rather than an iMac.

How to Implement Assistive Access in macOS

However, whenever I tried to launch an AppleScript, it said I couldn’t because the utility didn’t have permission for assistive access on my Mac. You may run across this occasionally. Sometimes you have to control apps by manipulating their user interfaces with special AppleScript scripts that mimic an active user via the system’s accessibility frameworks. Make sure you trust any app or tool that asks you to do this. If you do have that trust, here's how.
