Apple ID Legacy Contact - Set up in case the worst happens


Nobody lives forever and that's why you should set up a Legacy Contact for your Apple ID. Print out a key to keep safely and where it can be found so your surviving contacts can get access to your data. It is usable for up to three years after death. Your legacy contact will have to supply a death certificate along with the key. A safety feature in case you fell out with your significant other or someone stole the key before you died.

This tutorial is less than a minute long for you to see how it is done quickly.

Setting up a Macbook Pro M1 Max 32GB - Good and Geeky


Really chuffed with this new MacBook Pro. It's going to take some time to get everything the way I like it. Setting up as a new computer without migrating across from my iMac. Will still use the iMac for a few things until I get the large monitor to go with the MacBook. Then I will set it to some other task. Shame I can't just connect up to the screen on it.
