Mac tips, tricks and timesavers

All the awesome things you forgot your Mac could do

1. Do unit conversions in Spotlight

2. Talk to and listen to your Mac!

Before macOS Sierra, the Mac's ability to listen to you as well as talk was already really impressive with its Dictation tool.

Siri can even launch or close apps for you as well as store the results of your queries inside the Notifications area of the OS for later use. Just press Command+Space and get to asking.

When you tick this box off, the menu bar will reappear as you glide your mouse arrow towards the top of the screen, allowing you to get at all your menus.".
