Apple macOS Sierra Features
Apple has just launched their new macOS at WWDC on Monday and there are some new features like the most convenient copy and paste from your iPhone to your Mac, unlock screen using your Apple watch or iPhone, multiple tabs that are native, iMessage that are full of emojis (which is a doozy), the all new Apple Music, storage cleanup, the obnoxious AI assistant Siri (which we love to try out immediately), and many more!
These features are added on top of El Capitan, and therefore all the things we use on our Mac everyday will still be there. Our workflow might change since the unveiling of Siri that makes our work more efficient and handle tasks much faster and be more productive. In short, we can do more since Siri will finally arrive for work.
Ah, and one more thing, I’ve just published my new ebook called, “Mac Tips” at Amazon. This book is different. It brings some unique features that are not usually taught in schools. It’s like a book about discovery and exploration in using your Mac. It also highlights apps that are essential to make you more like a super hero and do stuff faster and easier! There are so much things you can do with your Mac, and we just scratched the surface!
Here is an excerpt:
Super Simple Way to Speed Up Your Internet
You can speed up your Internet browsing by using Google’s public DNS servers. What is DNS? The Domain Name System (DNS) protocol is an important part of the web's infrastructure, serving as the Internet's phone book: every time you visit a website, your computer performs a DNS lookup. Complex pages often require multiple DNS lookups before they start loading, so your computer may be performing hundreds of lookups a day. For more info, go to this link: https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/.
