    Since Macbook Pro has equipped with touch bar and butterfly keyboard, Apple has lost a lot of Macbook fans. Look how many refurbishments of Macbook Pro on Apple Refurbishment page. The number of refurbishment is the highest meaning customers are disappointed with their products.

    I turn off the battery percentage on all of my devices to avoid that obsessive-compulsive desire to keep my phone topped off; which damages the battery from what I hear.

    Dude... no! - just go to the app store and click updates - by default the app store icon is already in the dock, so why go through the submenu system?

    To remove icons - you drag them off the dock - why right click and mess around with submenus again?
    And no - you only right click and select "keep in dock" if it is a new program you've opened... to add to the dock you need to go to launch pad and drag the programs you want in the dock to the dock.

    Dude... again... the touchbar varies depending on the software - so you can spend time customising the touch bar when no programs are open but that'll all change when you start using programs - instead, when you open new software, if you don't like the current setup of the touch bar then go to view and click customise touch bar!!!

    Anyone changing their scrolling to that option is weird - but each to their own.

    Dude!!! - seriously!!! stop with the stupid long complicated unnecessary submenu stuff!!! - just swipe in on the right of the trackpad - the side panel pops in, scroll down on that to reveal the night shift toggle etc ... the only time you need to go through the submenu is if you want to fine tune it.

    From this video it would suggest you rarely use macs.
