Twenty Mac tips for people who thought they already knew the Mac

The audience is someone who has used a Mac long enough to have stopped noticing what they do not know. That is a harder audience than a beginner, and the framing is the honest part: the title says old hands will not know these either, which is a claim the video has to earn rather than assume.

One thing to know before pressing play: the description promises a chapter list and then admits it was never finished. What is there instead is a note that the timeline was being built and a request for volunteers to write it in the comments. So the video has to be watched linearly — there is no way to jump to the tip that turns out to be relevant, which is the one real cost of a twenty-item list.

The tips are about macOS itself rather than about software, and the description’s only outbound links are the channel’s own courses. For a video about efficiency that is a reasonable division: the subject is the operating system, and the product being sold is how to organise work, not a utility to install.

Recorded in April 2022 on Monterey, which makes it the oldest video in this collection by three years. That is the caveat worth carrying: the pane it would open was still called System Preferences then, and the interface around these tips has changed more than the habits do.
