While third-party screenshot apps are excellent on the Mac , Apple has steadily improved its default tools. Today, the Mac's built-in screenshot utility is good enough for most people. You can, of course, use it to take screenshots, but you can do so much more, such as record a video of your screen, or even create professional screencasts. If you find yourself taking screenshots on your Mac, these are the 10 best hacks you need to know. Clean up the clutter by saving screenshots to the clipboard I find I only need to save around 10% of the screenshots I take. Left to its default settings, my Mac would save the other 90%, adding to an endless clutter I'd never take care of. As such, I always save screenshots to my Mac's clipboard, so I can paste it in the app of my choice without saving the image at all. Goodbye clutter. On your Mac, you can do this by using two keyboard shortcuts. Press Command-Control-Shift-3 for a screenshot of the entire screen, or use Command-Contro...

Apple is no stranger to class action lawsuits. The company had to pay customers $50 million over its infamous "butterfly keyboards," and $250 million over the AI features it promised to ship with certain iPhones but didn't. (Many of those features, by the way, are now coming out this year .) But in all my time covering Apple lawsuits, I'm not sure I've ever seen a potential payout this huge. As reported by The Times , Apple is facing a $32.5 billion class action lawsuit, though the actual suit might be even more notable than the sum. Why is Apple being sued? As The Times reports, the basis for the lawsuit surrounds Apple's collection of biometric data, specifically the data it collected from Illinois citizens. The suit claims Apple violated Illinois law by collecting these users' biometric data through facial recognition without properly notifying them.

Edit shareable links in Google Sheets to make documents into clean copies or downloadable CSVs One of the best features of Sheets and other Google Workspace apps is that collaborators can make and view changes in real time. In some cases, though, you may not want to share your live spreadsheet, instead providing a clean copy or a downloadable CSV. With editable sharing links, you don't need to make copies or export manually. Simply replace /edit at the end of the link with /copy (for a clean duplicate) or either /export?format=pdf or /export?format=csv (for file downloads).
